NUMBER ONE IN PRISON CAMPS!

Join Craig and John once again for the podcast 100% guaranteed to be banned in China! They dance around the sensitive issues better than an NBA manager’s twitter account, and avoid giving their account information to bots so they can buy LeBron James’ latest shoes. They discuss the important 1974 genre defining flick Black Christmas featuring Margot Kidder, Olivia Hussey, John Saxon, and Kier Dullea — among others! - and agree that it’s a better Shocktober choice than last week’s The Boy.

Then they share what else they checked out, like El Camlno, Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, Out of Print, Solo: A Star Wars Story, and…well, that’s really it.

Next week’s assignment is James Wan’s Insidious, so watch it and join in the Shocktober fun!

Craig and John discuss their first movie for Shocktober, The Boy, a movie that exists. It stars Lauren Cohan and a doll for most of the movie, and discover whether John's going to hold a grudge over this choice. Inevitably they also discussed myriad adventures since last they spoke, including a discussion about one of The Mouse Overlord's many holdings, which has to do with a galaxy far, far away with trailers that drop during Monday Night Football. They also discuss what they checked out, which for John includes a LOT of horror movies already, and for both demonstrates that they have just as much free time as they can handle. Plus John discovered one of his friends listens but he won't say who.

John and Craig re-enforce the show motto on this week's episode. Also, they lay out the viewing for this year's SHOCKTOBER movie watching line-up while recapping some previous viewings. Both check out some things, one hacks the Gibson, and both have some instant regret.

John really wants to hear from you, so send him a message and tell him you love him: [email protected]

And welcome back #HashtagOveruse!

This week John and Craig talk a lot of poop and not just about Holiday Specials. There is a question about stadium naming rights, they celebrate the legend Ric Ocasek and you learn that Craig may actually hate himself. Plus they checked out some things so you don't have to. Trust us on this one.

But the bigger question is why haven't you contacted the show at [email protected] to let John and Craig know what you think.

John and Craig discuss whether Batman has faced The Joker before onscreen, the value of 10 year old movie reviewers, the health benefits of the Cookie Crisp Diet, Apple's Card That Must Not Be Touched, Whether Tim Cook is Cobra Commander, and What They Checked Out.
