As the well-organized podcast we are, seeing as how this episode drops on Halloween, we recorded an episode all about our favorite Halloween traditions. HA. Kidding. We totally forgot what day it would be posted until the end of the episode.

Instead, we talked about the one "unforgivably cheesy" moment in Stranger Things; about how 90s nostalgia is 80s nostalgia with a hangover; about how "Polly just can't have nice things" on Peaky Blinders (SPOILERS); the 1930s movie Freaks being a genre to itself; clever Halloween costumes; and how we recently tried to outdo each other with scary youtube clips AND NOW WE'RE HIDING UNDER THE BED.

This week's outro music is a clip from Retro Future Nights by TeknoAXE. https://youtu.be/D_jQLR6zq30

Disturbing content warning! The Selfie From Hell short film we mentioned is here https://youtu.be/EhAFyaObY6U, and the Nun trailer is here https://youtu.be/pzD9zGcUNrw, and the Robin Williams One Hour Photo clip is here https://youtu.be/EHUTjlhF6QQ. (The Selfie one and One Hour Photo one are possibly not safe for work on account of being disturbing. The One Hour Photo one has a LOT of gore.)

Correction: Regarding Peaky Blinders, at one point we referred to Thomas Shelby as Polly Grey's brother; he's actually her nephew, which honestly makes him arranging Polly's marriage even more strange.
