As far as Shawn is concerned, September, not October, is the start of spooky season. And to celebrate the occasion, he and John Mills have decided to watch a horror film John has never seen before. That film is Nobuhiko Obayashi’s House, and while it’s technically classified as a horror film….is it really? Or is it literally every film genre smashed together into one manic super film?

Join Shawn and John as they attempt to process this bonkers cult classic and why it may in fact be a legitimate masterpiece.

"Lower Decks" - An Embarrassment of Dooplers

There's a lot of duplication going on with the Cerritos - and maybe it's the plot lines? A crazy occurrence with the bridge crew provides the background to this episode featuring a Boimler/Mariner misadventure and a Tendi/Rutherford team-up. We get car chases, model-building, and a chance to catch up on some familiar characters and their Number Ones. Are you enjoying the "Lower Decks" formula? Or are you looking for the show to mix it up more? Let us know your favorite moments from this episode.
