For our last episode of the Halloween season, we got author and filmwriter Joe Ballarini (Babysitter's Guide to Monster Hunting, My Little Pony: The Movie) to chat with us about his book and career. Plenty of nostalgia, mixed in with good advice for writers. (we try to be trivial, sometimes we fail) There's no regular "five" in this one, just a bunch of chat about following one's dreams across the country and kicking werewolves in the crotch. We also do an abstract reenactment of much of The Lost Boys. 

Stick around for the question: What are some fun family friendly things to do with your kids for Halloween?
