Hal & Craig discuss Bill Gunn's 1973 film Ganja & Hess and how its the perfect allegory for the nightmarish world wrought by post-colonialism. In addition, we discuss how the film was nearly lost to the sands of time and Sam Waymon's (who also stars in the film) incredible, haunting score. Also: Craig watched some bad Frankenstein adaptations; Hal's undying love for Suspiria (2018); Ben Shapiro and the Daily Wire are making a Snow White movie; and the Scholastic Book Fair capitulates to anti-LGBT morons.

Spooky season continues with Bernard Rose's 1992 film Candyman. There's a lot to discuss! Hal and Craig break down how Candyman inverts the racist trope of the "savage brute". In addition, we look at Candyman's deft analysis of Chicago's Cabrini Green housing projects and how Candyman himself is a creation of White America whose pain tends to reverberate mostly in black communities. Discussions also include: Craig consoling himself after a disastrous baseball postseason from his beloved Tampa Bay Rays; Hal and Craig's recent concert experiences (Beyonce and Run the Jewels, respectively); Tony Todd's ability to pull of terrifying and sexy at the same time; and Hal's slate of recent viewings: Saw X and Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.

In this episode, Hal and Craig discuss the sequel to Wes Craven's seminal horror classic. Hal takes Craig to school, dissecting this often-overlooked (and underrated) horror sequel and how it has become a classic in queer cinema for its often obvious (but sometimes quite subtle) metaphors to queer identity and escaping the closet in 1980s America. Discussion also includes; the merits of the more gloopy, wet iterations of Freddy Krueger's makeup; the United Auto Workers Strike; Hollywood scabs like gross little puke Bill Maher; Nicole Holofcener's new film YOU HURT MY FEELINGS; and Our Top 3 American Horror franchises.

Hal and Craig welcome guest Kevin Cole aka The Primal Root—owner and proprietor of the oft-mentioned Cap City Video Lounge—to discuss John Carpenter’s 1988 anti-capitalism, sci-fi masterpiece THEY LIVE. Discussions also include: the petition to put access to safe abortions on the ballot in Florida; our new(ly indicted) king: George Santos; what we’ve been watching lately, including EVIL DEAD RISE, THE MOTHER, and RENFIELD; the stranglehold Reaganomics has had on the world for the last forty years; and the police as the enforcers of capitalism.
