Welcome back, Helsingers! We finally got the showdown that we’ve been waiting for since discovering Sam’s true nature last season. How cool was it seeing a “powered up” Vanessa go toe-to-toe with scary AF Sam. He took things next level with the creep factor this week. We learn Felix’s fate and check in with the rest of our splintered group. Axel finally takes a bite and Doc’s having some interesting dreams.

Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode, "Save Yourself". What is up with that red door and why does Axel seem to recognize it? What did you think of the episode? After you hit play, be sure to drop a comment over in our Van Helsing Facebook Group or find us on Twitter.

Riverdale returns tomorrow with an all-new episode. Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort speculate about Riverdale's serial killer and the latest clues from "NightHawks" and "Watcher in the Woods". Archie has taken matters into his own hands after Fred's shooting and Miss Grundy's murder. Kevin's less worried about the serial killer/shooter roaming around the small town and more so worried about finding his own intimacy and connection. Things didn't go well with him and his last boo, Joaquin, especially after finding out the other kid was working for FP Jones. His friends are all pairing off and there aren't a lot of options in Riverdale for Kevin. Hiram lodge continues to be up to no damn good and despite his best intentions to keep his distance, Jughead gets pulled further into life as a Southside Serpent.

What do you think Mr. Lodge is up to exactly and has Veronica really forgiven her dad or is still working through her suspicions? Do you think Betty crossed a line in going to Sherriff Keller or it's what she should have done as Kevin's friend? Also, what's up with Cheryl this season? Is she back to her true mean girl self or is it all a front? Give us a listen and then drop us a comment to let us know what you thought of the episodes and who has landed on your list of suspects.

In this special HorrorCast, Brad and Cort discuss The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The duo throw down some details about the original film you might not have known and discuss all the movies that came after the original movies release.

Welcome back, Helsingers! Okay, let's shout this one out loudly for those in the back to hear us well. Sam is not a good partner for hide-and-seek! If wants you to be his new bff, then play it off well until you can get gone. Or at least stall long enough for our favorite Van Helsing berserker to show up. Got it? Good. What an episode. We're still not all right after last week's finale and clearly, neither is Vanessa. Our titular heroine has spent the past week taking out her grief and rage on every single vampire that she and Julius can track down. They encounter an interesting new breed of bloodsuckers and run into a new group. Friends or foe? Vanessa doesn't let her guard down easily.

Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode, "A Home". Were you as freaked out as we were by Sam's idea of fun and games? Poor Felix. Which would you rather encounter in this world? Skinners or Sam looking for a new hide-and-seek partner? What did you think of the episode? After you hit play, be sure to drop a comment over in our Van Helsing Facebook Group or find us on Twitter.

Welcome back, Martians. The end has arrived and boy what a ride. Talk about creepy goodness. This week takes us on one last trip into the No End House with Jules to save her best friend from The Father and Seth. For most of the episode, Margot seems to have given in and allows her memories to seep away one bit at a time. Her relationship with the father appears to evolve the more time they spend together and Seth finally shows his true colors.

Hit play and listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's season finale, "The Hollow Girl". We break down those larger moments and speculate about the fate of our favorite characters. What do you think happened once the girls left the No End House? Be sure to visit the Facebook page or drop us a comment on Twitter to let us know what you thought of the 2x06, "The Hollow Girl".

The Walking Dead 8×01 recap "Mercy" Aired Oct. 22 2017

The Walking Dead is BACK! Was The Walking Dead 8×01 better than we expected? Well...we gave it a B. While the season 8 premiere definitely felt like "the old show" again, it didn't have the same "WOW" factor that several of the previous season premieres had. We break down that and more in our podcast.

In this podcast, we discuss:

-Why this season premiere felt different that previous seasons;

-Who we think are in the two graves Rick was standing over;

-What those flash-forwards really mean;

-Who the real Big-Bad is this season (hint: It's not Negan);

-Why Rick's quote over the two graves has even more meaning than you may think;

-PLUS: Our ridiculous banter and other random comments on The Walking Dead.

Make sure you tune in each week for a brand new episode of Talking TV With Liz & Lindi, and be sure to check out more of Pure Fandom’s geektastic, original podcasts on PureFandom.com.

The Pure Fandom Marvel Movies Podcast is hosted by Patrick Pochop and his co-host and sister, Liz Prugh. The two also host Pure Fandom’s Star Wars Theory Series Podcast. Join them as they relive each Avenger leading up to the new Marvel films! This week we discuss the Hulk movies.

In our first and second podcasts we discussed the evolution of Iron Man and what he brings to the table for The Avengers. In Part II we dove into Captain America and why he is truly the man to lead the superheroes into saving the world. In Part III, we tackle Hulk. In addition to breaking down his importance to The Avengers in the Marvel films, we discuss just why the Hulk movies didn't do much justice to the character. Were the standalone films as bad as the review say? Our resounding answer is "yes."

Marvel movies timeline: Here’s the order to watch every Marvel film

Join the discussion on why the Hulk movies fell short:

-Does Hulk even deserve his own film? Or, is his character best served as a sidekick in other Marvel films? We break down why the latter makes the most sense.

-Which Hulk in the standalone films was best: Edward Norton or Eric Bana?

-Why we think Mark Ruffalo may be the best onscreen Hulk.

-Why Hulk's role in Thor: Ragnarok may be the character's best film appearance yet.

-Why Logan didn't include Planet Hulk like in the Old Man Logan comics.

-Bonus: Liz's 8-week old baby/Pat's niece makes a surprise appearance... who doesn't love a good baby cry? We keep it real, guys.

Welcome back, Helsingers! Tonight's episodes was a definite kick in the heart. Oh, the things we do in the name of love. We finally learn more about Julius backstory. Who he was before Dmitri turned him and we finally get a firm answer on his connection to the dearly departed, "Mama". Flesh has a hard decision to make and he may have overestimated his connection to Lucky. Maybe next time more people will listen when Mohamad speaks. With that said, I wonder what he'll think of Sam's new sidekick, Felix.

Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this heartbreaker of an episode. What was your favorite moment and who was that creature at the end of the episode? Were you worried about Flesh in the others after what happened to Dylan? This season is definitely of and running. What did you think of the episode? After you hit play, be sure to drop a comment over in our Van Helsing Facebook Group or check find us on Twitter.

Welcome back, Martians. Tonight's penultimate episode was as crazy as ever. The girls successfully escaped the house, but it wasn't quite done with them. Desperate for his next meal and continued connection with Margot, the Father escaped the No End House and into the real world. Seth isn't too far behind and things take an even more twisted turn than anything before.

Listen in as Brad and Cort break down this week's all-new episode, "The Damage".  We discover that the girls were inside the house for three days and the memories taken by the house leave noticeable gaps for both girls. What moment surprised you the most? Margot's decision to sacrifice herself or the house's disappearing act? Might there have been another way? Be sure to hit the comments to let us know what you thought of the episode, "The Damage".
