HAPPY HALLOWEEN! A spooky little treat from John: Edgar Allan Poe's THE RAVEN and THE TELL-TALE HEART.
Best with headphones. ;-)
Enjoy!
We'll be back next week with a "normal" episode. In the meantime, stay safe and eat lots of candy!

Ack! The Stupid! It Hurts!
Okay, so let's see. In last week's news, Elizabeth Warren releases a dubious DNA test that the mainstream media claims is, "strong evidence" of Native American ancestry. At the same time, the Saudis say that the killing and dismembering of a dissident journalist was simply, "an interrogation gone wrong".
Can you say, Idiocracy?
And then, to top it off, after Stormy Daniels described Trump's penis as looking like Toad from Mario Kart, he calls her, "horseface".
We're in junior high... and we can blame Aleister Crowley.
Adam, as usual, has nothing interesting, so he brings up the Denver Airport conspiracies, which is so 2011.
Then, in the second half, John decides that what he wanted to talk about isn't interesting either, so he and Adam decide to discuss their favorite horror movies instead.
Well, it's only one more week until Halloween, so why the hell not. And... and... John actually recommends the new Netflix series, The Haunting of Hill House. Note: John hates most everything, so this comes as a bit of a shock.
And finally, find out what classic horror films John and Adam think are worthy of your time.
Hey, This Is Us (inside joke), so trust us. ;-)
Remember Krypton? Now that we're grown-ups we can kinda see how the powers-that-be on Superman's homeworld might turn a blind eye to an impending apocalypse. Case in point: The Yellowstone National Park SUPER-VOLCANO. Which is due to erupt, and which could very well mean the end of humanity.
John goes on a political rant. So what else is new? But really, he's pissed - at everyone. Listen and see if you're on the list.
It's the 35th anniversary of the film WARGAMES. Did you know Ronald Reagan was a huge science fiction fan? That WARGAMES scared the bejeezus out of him? That his sci-fi fandom was the basis for numerous historic government policies? All true.
The first brain-to-brain "social network" has been created! Sort of!
John shares an inspiring piece on how to live "an unfuckwithable life." Sounds like a lost Frank Capra movie...
Oh hey, didn't Capra direct LOST HORIZON? Well, that gets a shout-out this week, too.
And finally, did JFK Jr. fake his own death? Only to emerge as a secret Trump supporter posting as QAnon? Umm... no and NO! Come on, people. Stop giving WaPo snark bait.
