Our 'Halloween' pledge: No more dead nudity

Halloween__curtis_l

The great podcast/audio comment/autoerotic asphyxiation experiment is finally online. And if ANY of those three phrases scare you, it's probably best to just move along and go download some Debbie Gibson tunes or check to see if anyone has responded to your last post on the New Kids on the Block message board.

Our 2-hour-long commentary to 1978's Halloween isn't for the timid. And it would greatly be enhanced if you rented a DVD of the John Carpenter classic to watch while you listen along. It would probably be a good idea to listen once the kids have gone to sleep and you can open a nice romantic bottle of Wild Turkey as well.

Usually, at this point, I'd give you a few hints as to what to expect. I'm not going to this time. Best you experience it the same way we did while recording it: Total surprise, total bewilderment, total disgust.

However, on the remote chance you actually enjoy this week's show, please drop us a comment or e-mail. And let us know which '80s movies deserve the full audio commentary treatment next.
