Parting is always such sweet sorrow, but don’t be so down that Season 8 has come to an end; be glad it happened in the first place. And we’re not leaving for our brief hiatus just yet because we have yet another film to discuss in the Michael Myers canon, and it’s the very divisive Halloween II from 1981. This one introduced the backstory that seemingly everyone hated, but if you look beyond that, there’s a very good Halloween movie here with even more great Dean Cundey photography, entertaining kills, and scampy Michael behavior. So for one last time this season, take a sedative and make yourself a blood-ham sandwich as you listen to us discuss the movie, as well as how to eat a Reese’s incorrectly (and how to pronounce it properly), Michael Myers’s proficiency at Call of Duty, and most crucially: the importance of every hospital’s “C.E.U.” division.

Thank you once again for an incredible season and for sticking with us through these tumultuous times. Be sure to sign up for our Patreon where the show doesn’t stop. We’ll be back later this year!

Halloween II (1981) stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasence, and Dick Warlock. Directed by Rick Rosenthal.

So many movies and television shows owe a lot of their success to Akira. Stranger Things, The Matrix, Batman: The Animated Series – they all drew inspiration from this classic anime about a dystopian Japanese city riddled with violence, misery, and some of the coolest hand drawn visuals you’ll ever see. Is it the greatest anime feature of all time? Put on your coolest jacket and perform the sickest motorcycle slide ever while you listen to us discuss it, as well as the awesome N64 game Extreme-G 2, JT and Nathan’s Johnny Yong Bosch story, and of course the dramatic cancellation (and possible comeback) of Tiny Chef.

Akira stars Mitsuo Iwata, Nozomu Sasaki, Mami Koyama, Taro Ishida, Tesshō Genda, Mizuho Suzuki, Tatsuhiko Nakamura, Fukue Itō, and Kazuhiro Shindō. Directed by Katsuhiro Ôtomo.

We don’t often cover movies in the nunsploitation department, but Arkasha Stevenson’s prequel The First Omen is something special. It’s tough when you’re tasked with making a prelude to a true classic horror flick, but this film nails everything that made that original great while simultaneously crafting its own vision. In a post-overturning Roe v. Wade world, this movie has a lot to say about women’s agency and religion’s intrusion into the right to choose. Oh, and it's also truly horrific. So strap in (literally) to this wild nightmare as we discuss the movie, plus turning the Alamo into a Buc-ee's, the deranged ending of 28 Years Later (spoiler-free), and of course the undeniable similarities to Immaculate with returning Catholic expert Coby Evans. Roll tide!

The First Omen stars Nell Tiger Free, Ralph Ineson, Sônia Braga, Tawfeek Barhom, María Caballero, Charles Dance, Bill Nighy, Nicole Sorace, and Ishtar Currie Wilson. Directed by Arkasha Stevenson.
