A Halloween extravaganza awaits you all with three episodes this week. Two movies - Rosemary's Baby and The Cabin in the Woods (28 Days Later was cruelly taken from us) will be commented, broken down, guffawed, marinated and served for your listening pleasure. They are baffled by the pronunciation of 'samhain', Nick gets a kink in his neck. Karilyn is ready to get off this planet at 90, and that Halloween for her was an excuse to dress up and scare the hell out of people (never change)

Nick is joined by his brother Chris once more to break down the miraculous draw between Australia and Pakistan, where the Australian side goes from here (is it a new era or is it more of the same loop?) The summer is going to be different. New channel, new commentators, new music? First thoughts of what cricket will look like on Channel 7 and Foxtel. Oh and Chris goes one way and then another on The Everest (we all know how that ended up)

Get out and vote Americans! So apparently the world will begin to end in little over a decade oh my god. This is not a drill, people. Nick and Karilyn wrap their heads around the new climate change report from the UN and them literally saying to everyone that IT. WILL. HAPPEN if nothing is done. Scumbag Dodo is this years Scumbag Steve (blast from the past). Also Taylor Swift is in the game, and she threw down. HARD. Voting surge from her getting all political. And religious freedom, Australian catholic school system, and so forth. Our Halloween spectacular will be happening in a couple of weeks so we also try to talk about that. It's only that things got real existentially despairing with the world turning into a extreme climate rollercoaster in twelve years time. Karilyn forgot to press record. Crisis was averted.

For real though, everyone needs to get to know this report, and what it's projecting. You don't need to read the whole thing but skimming it, or getting the most salient parts from news sources helps mightily. This isn't fanciful or fear mongering. This is legitimate and falling rapidly within our life time. Or think of it this way, we have roughly twenty more Marvel films to go before there's really no turning back.

And we have a ridiculously celebrity centric episode from outta nowhere. Utter clickbait but we're doing it anyway, we don't care. What is a real reality TV show and what isn't? Number 6 will surprise you! Also Flockstars is a thing. Nick and Karilyn tip toe toward the entrance of the reality television rabbit hole. Karilyn successfully mails her postal vote for the upcoming mid-terms in the US. Nick is frustrated and sad about the Cubs losing to the Brewers and then to the Rockies to crash out of the playoffs. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is a horror movie with dinosaurs that needed more dinosaurs killing bad people (we're not behind the news, you are!) Also yet another awkward ending. We're big in Sweden apparently.

Before settling in for a few froffs to watch the big dance, settle in with Nick and brother Chris as they hastily preview Collingwood and West Coast. Magpies and Eagles. Two birds you do not want to mess with. Key matchups and what to look for during the match, surprise players, predictions on first goal scorer and Norm Smith medallist, and our picks to lift the cup by late afternoon on a who the hell knows what kind of day it'll be in Melbourne.

Nick and Karilyn enjoy all the meats of Melbourne's cultural stew so they go to the ballet. It doesn't have a bear riding around in a cart. Instead it's Spartacus with many leaps. From The Australian Ballet Company. These guys are legit. Powerful, intense, beautiful, enthralling, a lot of grape platters teetering on bathtub edges. Both a preview and reaction - two parts in one. What value. Nick sees it as a silent movie, better to process. The kids should have had a leash, Karilyn loses her phone, Nick accidentally stumbles onto some helpful advice for writing for characters of different backgrounds. Shoutout to Proof is in the Pudding and their gorge-worthy cakes that make an appearance. Briefly, before being consume. Also Nagini was a human character? Stop. Everything.

How obscure can literature trivia get? Dead Sea Scrolls calendars don't mess around, first aliens in stories is a little further back than we thought. They're both in the reeds a little. Nick goes to the AFL finals and is annoyed at the mass of humanity. Karilyn's live reaction to watching the Captain Marvel trailer that is omg, and gushing over Mary Poppins Returns. Good news, bad news: A technical difficulty. Needles are supposed to go in haystacks, not strawberries. Cathay Pacific renames itself after Frankie doesn't show up to work. Karilyn lands a role involving a piano and some Italian dancers, Nick cataclysmically overthinks being given a pass to a film festival screening.

Reflecting on the 9/11 anniversary, rich people voices, the prevalence of baby sharks. Trivia time: Mesoamerican ball games where the losing team is sacrificed to the gods, and the Ancient Egyptians relationship being all cool and chill 'cause they reminded them of all their gods. The Chicago Cubs are frustrating Nick. Karilyn experiences Queens of the Stone Age in concert and can't remember a big band sounding supporting act that played a song about zombies. Good news, bad news: wedge tailed eagles are not having a good time in country Victoria, and a new theory involving flux tubes may answer the question as to why the universe has three spatial dimensions (mind proceeds to be blown) is released because scientists are beautifully, crazily imaginative. Also Lin-Manuel Miranda is a treasure.

Title music - 'This Dog is the King of the Losers' by Bee Bee Sea

Nick and Karilyn attempt to announce what the new season will be be about, fail emphatically. Instead they muse on adulting, sausages, the abject meaning of existence, decide to sacrifice their souls to binge watch some reality TV, representation in film and the toxic backlash culture that's spilling over from the online to the real world. We also run through some random headlines of the day and leave on a little cat-related hope.

Delve further into the archives as Nick and Karilyn experience James Cameron's masterpiece, Aliens, the tentacles of corporation, the various constructs of freedom and how modern society and culture deals with it, the issue of bullying and how to treat it, the differences between Alien and Aliens (apart from the 's'), Karilyn's first AFL match, and debate what kind of apocalypse they'd be most excited for.
