Hey dear listeners, we're back from our summer break and we had a lot to talk about. We get caught up on what we've been doing while away from the mics this past month, where we've been and what we've watched. Most importantly, we're also joined by our good friend, Josh Dahlin who brought to us the latest independent horror film he had a hand in making...Graveyard Shark. Josh was also here with us to talk about his second annual Dark Arts Festival, which we had a blast at last year and are looking forward to being a part of again next week.

This week (by request) we will be taking a look at Uncle Buck, the John Hughes directed comedy from 1989 is about a laid back, unemployed bachelor named Buck who is forced to babysit his brother's 3 kids after a family emergency pulls their parents out of town. He wasn’t their first choice to watch over the kids but, with a little bit of luck and a lot of tough love, he manages to win over everyone in this heartwarming family comedy!

Listen up, Bub! This week, we're taking a look at the new Disney+ animated series, X-Men '97. It is a revival of X-Men: The Animated Series (1992–1997), continuing the story of Marvel's mutant X-Men who face new challenges following the loss of their leader, Professor X. What did we all think? You won't need Cerebro to read out minds...just tune in and find out!

This week we take a look at the hit film, Godzilla Minus One. The movie is set in the waning days of WWII and tells the story of Shikishima, a surviving Kamikaze pilot, who was attacked on Odo Island, along with a company of fighter plane mechanics, by a gargantuan monster. After the mechanics die because of Shikishima failing to shoot the monster, an overwhelming amount of guilt weighs on him, especially when he returns to a ravaged post-war Japan and a homeless woman and the orphaned baby she cares for, moves into his home. Shikishima, now on a personal mission, teams up with a large group of war veterans to finally take down the monster known as Godzilla. Listen in and find out what we all thought!

This week we have a new episode where we take a look at the new hit horror film, Late Night With The Devil! The movie is shot documentary style and tells the story of Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchian) who hosts a syndicated talk show 'Night Owls' that has been perpetually trailing Johnny Carson's 'Tonight Show' in the ratings. A year after the tragic death of Jack's wife, ratings have plummeted. So, on October 31, 1977 a desperate Jack decides to try to turn his fortunes around by airing a Halloween special like no other, unaware he is about to unleash evil into the living rooms of America! What did we all think of it? Listen in to the conversation, and fund out!!!

This week, we return to the wastelands with a look at the new film, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga! Again, written and directed by visual genius, George Miller, it tells the back story of young Furiosa and how she was snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and fell into the hands of the Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland they came across the Citadel presided over by Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants battled for dominance, Furiosa fights to survive as she puts together the means to find her way home. Listen in and find out what we all thought!

This week, we conclude our series of 4's (where we take a look at the, usually bad, 4th entry in a film franchise!) However, this week we bring you another good one! This week, we brave the post-apocalyptic wastelands as we venture through 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road! This film, directed by the genius, George Miller, tells the tale of Imperitor Furiosa as she rebels against the tyrannical Imortan Joe, in search for her homeland with the aid of a group of female prisoners, a psychotic war-boy and a drifter named Max!

We have a special Escape Pod episode for you all...it also happens to be our 250th episode!!! Quinn, geek-dad Brien's daughter, really wanted to get behind the mic and talk all about her new, favorite movie, Lisa Frankenstein! It's the story of a misunderstood teenager (Kathryn Newton) and a reanimated corpse (Cole Sprouse) as they embark on a murderous journey to find love, happiness and a few missing body parts! Written by Diablo Cody and directed by Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, it's an entertaining horror rom-com with a silly sense of humor and heavy '80s vibes!
