They came to talk about Horror Movies and Chew bubble gum. They’re all out of bubble gum. They’re also all out of horror movies. I guess alien invasion movies will have to suffice.

The Stuff

The month long bonanza of Halloween episodes begins with the magic of Paul Lynde’s comedy, and the marvel that is Elvira’s bust – only one of those things is real (you’ll be shocked to find out which one!).

The Paul Lynde Halloween Special

John & Pat deeply examine two underrated Power Pop albums and come to the obvious conclusion that Hulu Plus shouldn’t show commercials.

Teenage Fanclub – Bandwagonesque

John & Pat compare two essential Richard Linklater films: Dazed and Confused and Boyhood. That’s about it. Look, not every episode summary can be witty. Welcome to the real world and its many disappointments.

Dazed and Confused

Show biz luminaries Adam Scott & Scott Aukerman were generous enough to give Pat & John their top 10 R.E.M. songs, so naturally they’re exploiting that kindness for their own gain. Despite the questionable ethics this episode brings up: Adam Scott and Scott Aukerman’s top 10 lists! Who cares about anything else?

U Talkin’ U2 To Me?

Jessica once again joins John & Pat, this time to discuss the black arts in the form of Satan’s two key promotional vehicles: Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Once Upon a Time. The lord was not pleased, and plagued the episode with technical difficulties.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch

John & Pat take a not-very-in-depth look at two banner years in pop culture: 1970 and 2000. “Banner” still means “terrible”, right? Plus, a brief Emmy wrap-up, which most likely contains as much erroneous information as their Emmy predictions.

John & Pat talk video games for the first time on the show, which opens up a whole new area of pop culture for them to be inarticulate about.

John & Pat discuss the passing of two screen icons with uncharacteristic insight, sensitivity and class. And, on the characteristic side, there are still boatloads of ill-informed extemporaneous pearls of stupidity.

Will Stegemann and Alison Abrams join John & Pat to discuss the changes in media over the past few decades, which inevitably ends with everybody getting off everybody else’s lawn. As an added bonus, there’s a live drag race. Tune in, turn on, pass out.
