Mystery Shack Lookback

DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded and released prior to the revelations about & arrest of its guest, Kyle Carrozza. We condemn Carrozza's actions and offer our deepest sympathies to his victims, and we have fully cut ties with him. That said, rather than attempt to rewrite history, we have decided to leave this episode online and intact as a time capsule of when it was made.

Charley and Ella discuss "Summerween," the way the episode captures the trick-or-treating experience, how it encapsulates the show's main theme, and the pathos of loser candy.
