Everything To Guppy is a bite-sized, four-times weekly comedy/gaming podcast in which Gary Butterfield (Watch Out For Fireballs) and William Hughes (The A.V. Club) attempt to analyze every single item, boss, character, and concept in the rogue-lite video game The Binding Of Isaac. They manage to pull it off only slightly less than 50 percent of the time.

This year's Halloween is the short but chilling horror story "The Tower" by Marghanita Laski, first published in 1955.

A woman named Caroline is fascinated by a ruined tower near Florence, after having learned of its unfortunate inhabitants and their mysterious demise. So she goes to visit, and this story documents every agonizing step of a trip she never should have taken.

Thanks so much for your continued support!

This is it, the last in our series covering Lovecraft screen adaptations. The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society undertook the impossible task of bringing Lovecraft's most famous story to the screen, and they managed to succeed even with one hand tied behind their back. This silent film is riveting to watch, which is a real accomplishment all on its own.

Welcome to our coverage of the worst episode of the Venture Bros.! Dr. Venture has been invited to demonstrate his newest invention at the U-nited Nations, and he's brought the boys along to get a taste of big city living. Meanwhile, the Monarch watches and schemes.

Special thanks to Joshua Jarett for our cover art, Gwen May for our theme song, and Brayton Cameron for being our announcer.
