Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics!
This week, join Julia, Thom, and Anthony as they gather to discuss the 2022 Hallmark Original Movie, "Our Italian Christmas Memories".

Wolfman's Got Nards! (The Monster Squad)

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics!
This week, we are honored to welcome to the main show for the very first time ever Chris Evans of "Gathering of the Geeks" and "DC Unlimited" to discuss the beloved 1987 family-horror film, "The Monster Squad"! 
Join us as we dive deep into our histories, walk through the plot, talk the Universal Monsters, praise all of the cheesy eighties effects,  writing, and music, and much, much more! Be warned though: there is some *slight* language used in our discussion, but as it's in service of a cheesy eighties flick, we thought it appropriate not to censor it this time around since, you know, it was basically PG-rated dialogue forty-years ago!
So lock your doors, grab your crucifixes and garlic, turn out the lights, settle in with your favorite Autumn-themed drink, and enjoy this extraordinarily fun episode that we guarantee is the perfect way to kickstart your week and inject some much needed Halloween spirit into your Monday morning! As always, y'all, thanks for your love and support! ❤️ 🍂 🎃👻🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️
