🧟 It's SPOOKTOBER y'all, and that means we're talking about Halloween movies 🎃 Things get unsurprisingly heated this week as our hosts approach the topic of the best Halloween movies ever with their usual recipe of no fact, all feeling.

By the way, since I am the producer and I get to write these blurbs I would like to point out that zombies are undoubtedly paranormal and make fantastic subjects for Halloween movies. We will see if the hosts ever actually read these descriptions, won't we?

🍂🍁🪾 Do you feel it? That silent chill in the air, creeping up your spine and whispering into your ear: "School is starting soooooooooooonnnnnnn..."

But like us, you're in your 30s and this is just a trauma response to the horrors inflicted on your in school like 20 years ago? Just us? Ok. 

Regardless, we are ADULTS now and that means we get to do whatever we want in the fall! We wear flannel, we drink everything in sight with the words "pumpkin spice" written on the side, and we definitely hunt down autumnal forage with the vigor of a lion running down a gazelle. Join us this week as we discuss our favorite fall activities! Don't sleep (or nap in the leaves) on this episode, because, as usual, things get a little out of hand.

Unpopular opinions: everyone's got 'em. 

Popular opinions: everyone's got 'em and for most people, they are the same. 

Things I hate that are unpopular opinions: Three of us have them, it totally makes sense, we don't get confused by the topic, you listen to this, find it fascinating and enraging, and tell all your friends about us!

Today we establish ourselves as the pariah's as we talk about things people love to love and we love to hate!

I know you're reading this on an iPhone or Android device right now. Have you ever gone behind enemy lines, fraternized with the devil and tried to use the other one? Did you thusly throw that device straight into a wall or phone, run to a nearby couch, and scream into a pillow??

The Ick™ /ˈɪk/ noun

Used to describe a feeling of disgust that arises usually after a specific, often trivial, behavior. Or SOUNDS in the case of this weeks episode! (Thank you, Wikipedia, for the definition).

What sounds give our brave hosts the ick? What parasitic soundwaves reverse kick them right in the Misophonia? Listen and find out whether or not we scream and leave the restaurant when someone touches a Styrofoam to-go box just like you.
