Halloween is meant for vampires who are... racist?

[EDITOR'S NOTE: No. No, it is not.)

But we watched the very first Dracula movie ever made, "Nosferatu," and--surprisingly for a silent movie--had a thing or two to say about it. We had more than one or two things to say about the first movie from our new Hurts So Good segment, "Sunday School Musical," and BOY HOWDY DID IT HURT... but did it hurt so good? That is the question of the episode.

Taylor Swift and her politics also emerge--in real life and in the episode--and some folks are mad about it, but why? WHHHYYYY?????

Ready to be a part of history??

We hope so, because we thought it was high time we created some. That's right, Paul and Jake (a.k.a. Fanboy and Know-It-All [who like to refer to themselves in the third-person]) have invented and launched the world's very first ever Fantasy Movie Awards game!! And in this episode, we launch and battle our way through the First Annual 2018 Pop Culture with Fanboy and Know-It-All Fantasy Movie Award Season Draft (or the FA2018PCwFBKIAFMASD for short).

Elsewhere, Jake opens up about his run-in with a Christmas-crazed serial killer. (Or seven...)

What makes you feel like a kid again?

Saturday morning cartoons? Reruns of Family Matters? Calvin & Hobbes comic strips? Star Wars? We dig into the why behind what makes us nostalgic, and talk about why nostalgia can make us feel warm and fuzzy or angry and betrayed.

After that, though, we rank the best pop culture remakes of all time.

What movie car do you dream about at night?

We rank the best cars to ever grace the silver screen and argue about the merits, or lack thereof, of the original 1969 version of The Italian Job starring Michael Caine, Michael Caine, and Michael Caine.

What was the best movie to not win Best Picture at the Academy Awards?

Paul and Jake tackle this contentious topic in light of the Academy's announcement that they will create a new Oscars category for "Best Popular Film." In the Backlist Hall of Shame, Jake finally scratches Good Will Hunting off of his dance card before going on to wax eloquent about mobile video games.

Who is the greatest war hero in movie/TV history?

Our answer(s) may or may not surprise you, but they are guaranteed to entertain you. (Mostly because we argue a lot.) Elsewhere, we dig into Saving Private Ryan since 1) Fanboy had never watched it and 2) it's been exactly 20 years since it was released in theaters.

Can the writing in 'Calvin and Hobbes' be considered inspiring?

Herein, Jake and Paul square off over that question as they go head-to-head ranking the most inspiring writers and authors of all time. Preceding said Rank Geeks battle, though, the duo crosses 'Dead Poets Society' off of Jake's Backlist Hall of Shame list and talks about its myriad messages, themes, and about whether or not the movie itself still holds up 29 years later.

Atticus Finch AND the Parr family in the same episode.

Need we say more?

WE ALWAYS THINK WE MUST.

so we do.

Herein, we send you back in time for a LIVE segment with us in Paul Asay's Honda Fit mere moments after we finished watching the INCREDIBLES 2 screener. Elsewhere, we talk about the gem of a film that Paul Asay can finally scratch off his Backlist Hall of Shame: 'To Kill a Mockingbird' starring Gregory Peck.

Is "Seven Samurai" as good as the hype?

Is the new Mr. Rogers documentary, "Won't You Be My Neighbor?," poised to bring down the house?

As per usual, Fanboy and Know-It-All are poised to go where no nerds have gone before.

What movies define you?

Did you do the #FilmStruck4 on Twitter? Tell the world what four films explain who you are? A lot of people did, although there was some confusion over movies that shaped us into who we are and those that most accurately describe who we are now. We are talking about the movies that *define* us, that is, the movies that most accurately describe who we are as people right now.

Let's just say we had some... interesting answers.

If you want to know about the movies that *shaped* us, we break those down in Episode 31.
