    E & McGee play a VHS of a Muppet movie backwards and accidentally summon Natalie (aka Uncle Aunt) who possesses the pod to make us watch a headbanger cult classic. We get lulled by the tunes and tones of a familiar cinematographer, talk about what makes for a cathartic cinematic experience, and see if E has suffered enough scares to earn his patches yet.

    Go see Uncle Aunt (and Gaudygod) host Bingo Night at the Music Box in Chicago the first Thursday of every month!
