Turn off the lights, get out your candy and prepare to be spooked, friends - It's halloween time, and we're here to discuss the mediocrity of halloween tradition in Australia, as well as John Carpenter and Debora Hill's classic slasher, Halloween (1978). 

This week, we get our dear friend, Georgia Elder-Hackford, on to chat about how we sort of wish we were beautiful young Italian boys in the 80s, as well as other hard-hitting topics such as Sufjan Stevens' wonderful original score and how much this movie made us cry. 

On this weeks episode, we discuss Rian Johnson's intelligent and entertaining mystery/crime film, Knives Out. It features a brilliant cast, including Daniel Craig doing a weird accent. 

This week, the boys have their good friend, Aengus Williams, on to talk about the classic Studio Ghibli film, Princess Mononoke. They've all done a lot of research for this one, so get excited for some FACTS. 

Searching for Sugar Man Is our first Documentary on the show! In this episode we have on Finn Stewart, to show us one of his favorite films. The incredibly unique story of a musician finding the fame he always had but never knew, and just generally being a transcendent individual.

This week's episode is a very important one. The boys discuss the masterful storytelling of Ryan Coogler and the extraordinary acting of Micheal B. Jordan in Fruitvale Station. It tells the story of Oscar Grant III, a black man who was murdered by Bart Police in Oakland in 2009 - it's an important story to experience, and one that has echoes 11 years after these true events took place. 

Watch this film.

That's right, it's time for Star Wars. This week, the boys take a look at the original space opera of 1977, and Matt realises that there's a lot of useless nerd garbage in his brain. Enjoy listening to these big, huge, dumb nerds talk about big, huge, dumb nerd stuff.

This week, the boys have a real-life girl on the show - Cody Junghans - to talk about one of her favorite movies, Gone Girl. Neither she, nor Joel has read the book though, so Matt gets to blow their minds with all the details that were taken out of the adaptation. 

This week, the boys try to figure out what in the heck they just watched and whether they'll be able to recover from watching it.

For a bonus, listen to the end to find out what Joel's Dad had to say during this incredibly intense and emotional war film.

This week, Joel shows us one of his top movies - Vincent Paronnaud and Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, which is an important movie for all of us that never bothered to read some articles about Iran's political situations over the last few decades.
