Happy Holidays! Put on your rodent VR headset and quiet the Robin Williams in your head. We discuss a pair of Christmas themed episodes of Tales from the Darkside 04x07 – “The Yattering and Jack” features a lovely tale from Clive Barker of a demon attempting to get a pickle salesman to commit suicide via a Turkey on a Christmas Tree. In 03x11 – “Seasons of Belief” we examine the most bizarre 20 minutes of television ever created wherein a fractically problematic couple of parents lie to their children instead of letting them watch the Gumby Xmas Special thus manifesting a monster, I think?

Does Charles Entertainment Cheese denounce terrorism? Are you safe at skee-ball? Brad is thwarted by the Grinch. Dreaming is wage theft and the Earth WILL Decide. Why would you call a cooking hotline ever?

Alex presents a tale of “Substances that are things that are technically things that we don’t associate with the thing that come to mind” How do we start turning birds back into dinosaurs? If bones are crystals can you bind a magical elfin creature to your femur? How does this effect your calcium intake? Is selling Harry Potter ribbon a viable business?

In this post Halloween episode, we meet the creatures of our dreams and attempt to escape from dead children with other dead children. People are ticked off! (and by ticked off we mean “Very Greatful!”)

Tammy and Dan join us for this super spooky episode where we relate the latest seasonal shenanigans. Can you become a Puppet Master via a correspondence course? Do the dead need to consent to be turned into binary code? Can a citizen journalist stop the existence of lines. These terrifying questions will be answered.

Chris joins us for a spooky episode in which we tangle with monsters both on and off screen. Including the monsters that allowed “No One Will Save You” to be filmed. We venture into wildly bonkers Exorcist III featuring George C Scott barking at demons.

Alex is listening to ghost realtor’s and Brad is dealing with constant eyeball trauma. Tales from the Darkside pilot “Trick or Treat” a very complicated story where it’s difficult to say who is really at fault and 1x07 “Inside the Closet” in which a grad student moves into the worst possible room.

Is anything scarier than an elite private tour? What about a meandering feel-good story about a mall destroying a local bookstore so they can build a solar panel. Can your heart withstand the terror of 2 artificial intelligences fighting over a story about aliens?

Alex will drink bad flavors of coke zero until they don’t taste bad… and you can’t stop him. The Roman Empire is for losers. Brad looks into everyone’s favorite albino incel scientist.

Dan joins Brad for the second Republican Primary Debate where Casey DeSantis is in cosplay, Vivek’s and Kevin Sorbo fight for weirdest hair, and Doug Burgum is there… for some reason?
