Need something to listen to that will put you in a Halloween mood? We recommend this podcast! But also Jeff recommends a few short stories he listened to on audio book that are easily digestable in short bursts. And while you're at the library why not check out one of the horror classics like Frankenstein or Dracula. We'll give you a taste (a bite? which is the better vampire pun?) of those today. Then Cole gives a little Horror History 101 focused on these classic tales turned movies. And don't forget the creepy movie soundtracks if you need something on in the background. Never scary, just scary good, it's Screen Cleaning.

The fall season can mean many things. Football is back and baseball is winding down. Horror movies and haunted houses creep up all around. And new seasons of fall television are hitting screens across America. Forget streaming for a moment, we are reviewing one new show per network today based solely on their pilot episodes. Sitting through first episodes of varying quality got us thinking about the best pilots ever (the pilot that crashed in the plane during the pilot of Lost gets an honorable mention). Then we take a journey through great TV and talk the best single seasons from the best shows. And unlike so many great shows over the years, we know when to quit, and that’s by talking about the best finales of TV history. Check if your favorite show got renewed here on Screen Cleaning.

Have you ever started a movie and then realized it wasn’t quite what you remembered? And then it turns out it’s not the same movie at all! Like that one that came out in ’98 with all the ants trying to fight for independence. Or the magician movie from 2006 with the twist ending. We try to parse out these weirdly similar trends in the movie industry. All this is on the heels of yet another Yeti movie (in case you missed Smallfoot AND Missing Link) called Abominable out this weekend. We review that, and Judy, and give the rest of the best of entertainment news of the week. I hope you don’t confuse us for that other movie podcast with two millennial white guys.

For a certain generation TV movies meant a lower quality. Netflix and the streaming world is constantly changing how we view our media, and they have also upped the quality of movies made to be seen on the small screen. We review one of their newest originals Tall Girl along with Ad Astra and Downton Abbey, speaking of TV movies. Jeff and Cole also have a conversation about movies based on TV shows and the many ways Hollywood has cashed in on rabid TV fanbases. Don’t change the channel, it’s Screen Cleaning.
