Few games are as ambitious and terrifying as Silent Hill 2. Replacing blood, gore, and action, with psychological terror and atmosphere, the game is far more David Lynch than David Cronenberg. We venture forth into this cursed town with companion Emily Merritt (@aspecificegg) of the No Small Games podcast (https://nosmallgames.com/) to shine a flashlight into its profoundly upsetting darkness.

Greetings from Gravity Falls! In only two seasons, Alex Hirsch created this spectacular cartoon that chronicles the paranormal summer that twins Dipper and Mabel Pines spend investigating the magic and monsters that surround their Grunkle Stan's roadside Mystery Shack. We triangulate with our own curious kids, Ben and Celeste Lief, to celebrate this hilarious and heartfelt show. If you're curious, don't wait. Take a trip. Find it.

Go get a witch's shawl on, a broomstick you can crawl on. We're gonna pay a call on The Addams Family. Helping kick off a run of film adaptations of Nick-At-Nite sitcoms, the 1991 version of Charles Addams' venerable creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky characters soared on pitch perfect performances and Halloween fun for all ages. We're joined by Amanda Rivas and Bill Bodkin (www.thepopbreak.com) to give a big (disembodied) hand to a movie that is gravely hilarious. Cara mia!

Hail to the king, baby! After battling deadites in his own time, Ash Williams is thrown back to 1300 A.D. to get literally medieval in this wildly comic horror sequel. Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell take a chainsaw to convention and a lot of spectacular prosthetics in this truly one-of-a-kind film.

We're puttin' on the ritz revisiting another of Mel Brooks' timeless comedies, "Young Frankenstein". This abby normal send-up of James Whale's "Frankenstein" and the Universal horror classics is a pitch-perfect masterclass, as Brooks, Gene Wilder, and the rest of the stellar cast put on a comedy clinic that, like the film's subject, achieved immortality. We're joined by comedian Tarik Davis (https://tarikdavis.com/) and film podcaster Sophia Ricciardi from Moviestruck (https://moviestruck.transistor.fm/) to celebrate Mel and Gene's giddy love letter to the black and white terror tales of the 1930s. You can find Tarik on NBC's The Amber Ruffin Show, and on his essential podcast, Brothers From Another Planet, see him perform live with Freestyle Love Soupreme. More importantly, Tarik's short film "Doc - Race, Revolution, Relativity, and the Confessions of a Time Travelling Terrorist" is now out and you can (and should) watch it here: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-uBvVgBTIY) The trailer for his new short film, "We're Not In Harlem Anymore", is available here: (https://youtu.be/M6KTil92tX8?si=p1emxuYOa8c7ZQJa) Be sure to also check out our bi-monthy musical podcast, "Playing By Ear" (https://playingbyear.fireside.fm).

This podcast releases on Mondays - the least favorite day of one tubby beloved feline named Garfield. As his popularity began to take off in the early 1980s creator Jim Davis took a page from his comics colleage Charles Schultz and created a Halloween special to showcase, Garfield, Odie, Jon, and the smooth vocals of Lou Rawls. We're joined by comedian Rich Baker (www.daretofailimprov.com) and writer/comedian/filmmaker Joey Clift (Spirit Rangers, Pow!) to trick and/or treat along with this perennial holiday classic.

True Lies is the quintessential 90s action movie. Equal parts comedy and high-stakes stunts, James Cameron teams up once again with Arnold Schwarzenegger and composer Brad Fiedel to deliver thrills and chills as Harry Tasker tries to keep his espionage career secret from frustrated spouse Helen, played to the hilt in a Golden Globe winning performance from Jamie Lee Curtis. But since it takes two to tange, we're joined by guest filmmaker Alex Sosin ("The Canyon") to revisit this explosive tale of husbands, wives, and double lives.

In 1964 the British invaded, Motown got moving, and music would never be the same again. On this episode we want to hold hands with a year that truly revolutionized rock and roll, R&B, and folk, as the times they were a-changin'. We're joined by comedian Rich Baker (www.daretofailimprov.com) and our cohosts from "Playing By Ear", Ami Lief and Kyle Lieberman, to take a bow like The Beatles on Ed Sullivan for our favorite songs from this incredible era.

Like one of its subjects, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" is a high powered mutant of some kind, never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die. Terry Gilliam's adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's drug-fueled gonzo odyssey takes Johnny Depp beyond the boundaries of reality (at least as far as psychotropics will allow) to create an experience that truly is far out. We're joined by podcaster Case Aiken (www.certainpov.com) to celebrate what a long strange trip this is.

Cartoons from Warner Bros. in the 90s were a little looney, totally insane-ey, and a chance for the creative forces behind them to Freak Out! Guest comedian/filmmaker Tarik Davis (www.tarikrdavis.com) and I are joined by special guest Paul Rugg, credited writer on 76 episodes of Animaniacs, 24 of Freakazoid, and the voices of numerous characters on both shows including Freakazoid himself, for an incredible behind-the-curtain look at the ecosystem of cartoon-making at the WB when it produced some of the most memorable, daring, and flat-out hilarious animation ever.

From the moment you pop in a quarter or press start, video games have used music to enthrall, entice, and plumb even more complex emotions, far more than one might expect from the push of a button. On this podcast we celebrate the composers who have wrestled microchips, midi, and mp3s into the rich sonic (and sometimes Sonic) tapestries that elevate simple zeroes and ones into powerful musical experiences. We're joined by a full panel of games podcasters including Dave Jackson (Tales From The Backlog), Rick Firestone (Pixel Project Radio) and Chris Coplien (Retro Hangover) to roundtable our favorite game soundtracks.
