Episode Details

Octemberfest returns! This year we’re getting historic, crawling our way from 1926 to 2026 one movie at a time. Each week I’ll be watching about two decades worth of films, then regurgitating my thoughts into a microphone for posterity! Who knows, maybe in 100 years someone will listen to this as part of a series retrospective on the rise and fall of podcasting… I’m at least as well produced as some of the garbage I watch…

This week we’ve got bats, we’ve got cats, we’ve got ravens and wax. The early days were full of gaslighting and mysteries you’ll guess the ending of in about eight minutes, but what you DON’T get is sound for four years or color for pretty much the whole stretch, or one original film! Exciting stuff, right?

Strap in for a month of horror, twenty years at a time… well, fourteen this week, but whose counting.
