At one point during the recording of this episode, we said that someone could do well by opening a Halloween store that exclusively sells costumes of characters portrayed by Johnny Depp. What more can I say? That is why we geek out about the guy!

Today's root beer is a second sampling of Strap Tank.

The concept album from My Chemical Romance tells the story of “The Patient”, and his journey through the Afterlife. This album was of that really spoke to many of a certain generation, with its plethora of intriguing lines, direct and metaphorical imagery, and powerful musical mastery. “If life's not a joke, then why are we laughing?” 

Today's root beer is Tower.

As she recommended this topic to us, our friend Shauna joins us in discussing the beloved children's animated series. We talk about the cosplay we've seen at FanX, as well as the panel commemorating the 10 year anniversary of the show. Also, with the music, the Americana setting, the depth of the characters, and how the show perfectly captures the vibe for repeat Autumnal viewings.

Once again, we record most of our episode live at Utah's own comic convention, FanX. we recap the panels, the celebs, the cosplay, purchases, and just sheer, overwhelming fun that it is to attend this con!

Also, once again, we drink several pints (IT COMES IN PINTS?!?) of a variety of Wild Bill’s soda, their root beer dominate among them.

(Wrong audio originally posted, re-posting with correct audio)
Sometimes, the weather and the mood just need that ambient accent of Folk-Celtic Fusion-Medieval-Rock music, ya know? Autumn just feels like the right time for Loreena McKennitt, Blackmore's Night, Lord of the Dance, and many of the other music styles we talk about in this week's episode.

Today's root beer is Filbert's.

The third novella by Stephen King from the Different Seasons collection is arguably the go-to for nostalgia in film. Following the four perfectly cast boys as they follow the train tracks towards the end of summer, childhood, and the body of a fellow youth, we can remember our own experiences coming of age.

We also pay tribute to the iconic James Earl Jones who recently passed away at the age of 93. 

Today's root beer is Boots sarsaparilla root beer.

One of the great comedic duos of the modern age made us laugh with racial situations, ridiculous reactions to mundanity, and other kinds of social commentary seen through the eyes of laughter.

If you haven't ever seen their sketches on the Civil War reenactment, Obama's Anger Translator, the text message misunderstanding (which we think everyone has experienced at least once!), or the beloved substitute teacher, Mr. Garvey, well, then…..YOU DONE MESSED UP, A-A-RON!!!

Today's root beer is Gold Mine.

“Shome thingsh in here don't react well to bulletsh!”

We discuss what Brant considers a dang-near perfect film(albeit a very “guy” movie): action-packed, political, intense situations, great music, excellent acting from a scattering of gems, AND the film is only PG! 

It also doesn't hurt that Sean Connery looks so cool, or “austere”, Andrew says.

Today, we got Culver's burgers to go, complete with fries, cheese curds, and Culver's own root beer on tap.

Not exactly something we geek out about, per se, but we do enjoy entertaining some of the ideas people have come up with to claim we are all being duped! From Roswell aliens and faking the moon landing, to the idea that Finland isn't real, birds aren't real, or reality isn't real, some have us scratching our heads, while others might just have an air of possibility surrounding them. We take a light-hearted look at the more popular conspiracy theories from all around the globe….. hint, hint.

Today's root beer is Cicero.
