THE SKULL IS BACK! AND WITH LESS MOLD THAN EVER!

JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD bring back the topic, which is all topics! Can your ill-equipped nerves handle the raw intensity and bone-chilling randomness that is... TOPIC FREE-FOR-ALL: SKULL-POCALYPSE!!!

For the uninitiated, let us explain: Like in past TOPIC FREE-FOR-ALL episodes, we all write several concepts for brief nerdy conversations on strips of paper, and place them within the confines of Larry's vintage plastic skull-shaped Halloween candy bucket. Then, we each take turns blindly choosing one of the strips and reading the topic. What follows is a lively and informative discussion, peppered with opportunities for trivia, merriment, and personal potshots.

Some of these topics come from unchosen strips from past episodes that suffered water damage from a leak in Larry's garage. Yes, they are literally moldy oldies. But a little mold can't dampen the unbridled excitement these personally crafted argument starters bring. So rain? Go suck on it!

Joining us for this cavalcade of categories are not one, but TWO return guests!

First up is an acclaimed comedian, writer, producer, and cartoonist who, for years, has been creating celebrated daily cartoons on cocktail napkins for MATTANAPKIN.COM. He's also been the featured guest on many a TOPIC FREE-FOR-ALL. Please welcome back, charisma incarnate... JOHN MATTA! (THE MARTIN SHORT SHOW, DUCK DODGERS, THE EPIC TALES OF CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS, BEWARE THE BATMAN)

And we're sure you remember our other guest from the now legendary HORROR & SCI-FI CASTING episode, and his drop-in appearances at MONSTERAPLOOZA! He's a casting director powerhouse who teaches the must-attend G. CHARLES WRIGHT STUDIO AUDITION WORKSHOP, and if you'd like more information about that, go to GCHARLESWRIGHT.COM. Please welcome once again, the delightful and delicious... G. CHARLES WRIGHT! (THAT 70'S SHOW, THE MIDDLE, ANGER MANAGEMENT, LOPEZ VS. LOPEZ, STAN AGAINST EVIL)
