Kate and Rory go through what Google has called the most popular Halloween costumes for 2025 (get ready for A LOT of cultural appropriation!), and also do some personal deep dives on the history of their best, worst, and most ick-inducing Halloween costumes of all time. And yes, of course, they'll be looking over some celebrities playing dress-up in the worst possible way.

Additionally, Rory brings us through the behind-the-scenes messiness of one of 2026's biggest scary movies - Scream 7 - and Kate discusses Keira Knightley's response to a JK Rowling query that has set off alarm bells for every publicist in Hollywood.
