Hollie and I discuss what's arguably one of the most famous openings in horror film history and if the rest of the film sustains that suspense. And what about the mostly forgotten sequel? Better? Worse? Either way, it's a double feature for your Halloween lineup!

Hollie and I chat a bit about the wildly successful horror movies that made theaters tons of money this year. But are they any good? 

Sidenote: When I mentioned Obsession being the top grossing film of all time, I was referring to Blumhouse's releases, not all time movies. Sorry for the confusion.

Also, our apologies if the episode seems disjointed as this underwent some heavy editing due to us having to get it done and also being extremely tired that day. We'll do better in the future, I promise!

Forgetting about the 2014 made for TV miniseries on NBC (on purpose as well everyone should), we look at the original 1968 horror classic as well as it's goofy made for TV sequel and the odd choice to make a prequel based on a character with a mere sliver of screen time in the first film. The Ira Levin penned Son of Rosemary novel is also mentioned.

Hollie and I talk about two very funny Chevy Chase films, one with Goldie Hawn, the other with Carrie Fisher. Seems Like Old Times and Under the Rainbow were HBO staples back in the early 80s and even though they're a little un PC, they still hold up pretty well. Join us (and Hannah, our pittie boxer mix) as we also try to discover the mystery behind Aurora's chicken pepperoni recipe and how it relates to chipped ham.

My wife Hollie and I talk about Martin Scorsese's 1982 cult classic, The King of Comedy, and discuss her thoughts on the first time seeing it as well as how I interpret certain aspects now as opposed to when I originally saw it.

Thanks to Hollie's magnificent suggestion, we also instituted the rewatchability scale of: 

1) Glued to the set

2) Doomscrolling and peeking at the screen

3) I'm done, change the channel
