This week it's Halloween and here to make it a little spooky I have Andrew Roebuck with me to discuss the  last 80s Garfield anthology cartoon Garfield and his 9 Lives. We also get into scary programming for kids, the appeal of Garfield, corporate mascots and we watch some incredibly terrifying animated shorts sure to make your Halloween frightening.

Enjoy!
