4th Annual Halloween Show!

Send in your music story!A new studio, a baby in a duck costume, and a camera with a mind of its own—our fourth annual Halloween special brings joyful chaos and a whole lot of heart. We kick off in full costume as our musician alter-egos and end up trading real fandom takes that might ruffle a few feathers. Jelly Roll goes from bit to genuine respect, and our Eminem debate moves from the Slim Shady era to the lyric craftsmanship of Stan and Mockingbird. We also revisit Avril Lavigne’s early catalog with equal parts nostalgia and sharp observation, and push past the usual “Teen Spirit” talk to share darker Nirvana deep cuts.Then we detour into the pop-culture worlds we love. Fallout’s series gets high marks for humor and world-building, Halo earns steady respect for tone and action, and Twisted Metal’s lore turns into a surprise highlight as we break down Roadkill, Calypso wishes, and why Sweet Tooth still owns the screen. These conversations are lively but welcoming—whether you’re a longtime gamer or just sampling the shows, you’ll find an easy way in. Along the way, we juggle the reality of a big move: bank holds, pest control, a still-in-progress set, and the dream of a neon logo to crown the new space.Halloween plans round us out with family costumes, Florida heat, and the eternal question of whether we should dress up more often just because it makes everything more fun. We close with favorite monsters—from werewolves and vampires to ghosts and pumpkin legends—and a light roast of certain fantasy detours that jumped the shark. If you’re into Halloween vibes, music debates, video game TV, and found-family banter, this one’s a treat.Enjoying the show?
