It's an old-school Buster, with Dave and Mac blasting out a Halloween special. Topics of discussion include, Orphan, Borderlands, sitcoms starring iconic horror characters, fat kids and candy, and the marketing genius of handing out web-comics to trick or treaters.

It's a Halloween spooktacular edition of View From The Couch, as Kent and Michelle dig into childhood memories of tricks and treats, and open the crypt on Tim Burton's creepy comedy Beetlejuice. Meanwhile, Connor and Emily stake their claim with their reviews of the 1967 Rankin/Bass classic Mad Monster Party and an educational title from Rock N' Learn called Earth Science. It's phantasmagorical family fun with a creepy soundtrack to boot!

Dave, Mac, Mike, and Erich huddle around the glow of their computer screens to lay down 50 minutes worth of podcast fun, which may or may not include in-depth discussions of Jack Bauer as a member of the Spanish Inquisition, Ben 10's unfortunate lurch towards the pre-pubescent, Guile's ill-fated adventure in a stealth boat, Waterworld as a Broadway musical, and the happenstances that would lead to vampire motorcycle ownership. Stick around after the show for a very special acoustic performance by Meningitis Rabbit.

Join Pixel Verdict's Canadian contingency as they waste about an hour of your time. Jon's been playing Brutal Legend, and throws the gauntlet down for one Tim Schafer of Doublefine Studios. Adam has been spending quality time with his wife and Rock Band. Steve's wife, meanwhile, is cheating on him with his copy of Brutal Legend, so Steve drowns his loneliness with Demon's Souls, and the amazing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Borderlands. The boys discuss the news of the week (or lack thereof) with their typically Canadian lack of zeal, including Steve's dissatisfaction with Natal support for Fable II and Fable III; Grand Theft Auto thrusting beyond the borders of good taste; a new game from the Timeshift guys; and Street Fighter IV's Seth gets tougher. Adam waxes philosophical about a particular '90s cinematic masterpiece featuring a pre-Party of Five Scott Wolfe and short shorts-wearin' Alyssa Milano. You'll have to listen to find out what it is. It all ends in a climactic discussion about brawlers good and bad.

We journey back to the 1950s and '60s this week, as Clark spotlights the music of Polish film composer Bronislau Kaper. You'll hear selections from such films as The Swan (1956), The Way West (1967), Ride, Vaquero! (1953), Mutiny on the Bounty (1962), Them! (1954), Lord Jim (1965), and Lili (1953). Clark also reviews Spike Jonze's cinematic adaptation of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, and wraps up the show with a piano version of the theme from Kaper's The Brothers Karamazov (1958), performed by the composer himself. Enjoy!

It's a rare Filibuster Legion of Heroes episode, as Dave, Mac, Erich, Mike, and Michael join forces to talk Dracula: Ballet with a Bite, the idiocy of Roland Emmerich, the genius of Zombie Yo Gabba Gabba, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Halloween Special, Grimace Private Investigator, the fine line between helmets and hats, the Citizen Kane stunt spectacular, and so much more. It's a laugh-packed hour of observational comedy.
