   94. The Halloween film franchise with Eric Wann

   Eric Wann joins Binge Essentials on a trip to Haddonfield to dive into the terrifying and complicated world of the Halloween film franchise. From John Carpenter’s groundbreaking 1978 original to decades of sequels, reboots, remakes, and alternate timelines, we’re looking back at the movies that turned Michael Myers into one of horror’s most iconic villains. Whether you’ve been terrified of The Shape since 1978 or you just love a good slasher marathon every October, join us as we revisit the scares, the music, the masks, and the mayhem that have kept Halloween alive for generations.

   92. PEN15 with Alexia Brooks - Middle School Memories

   Alexia invites David and Romeo to revisit middle school with the awkward, cringey, and surprisingly heartfelt world of PEN15. The unique coming-of-age comedy, where two adults hilariously (and painfully) relive the highs and lows of middle school alongside an actual cast of teenagers. Whether you're ready to relive your early 2000s memories or just appreciate a show that isn't afraid to embrace the cringe, join us as we celebrate one of the funniest and most authentic coming-of-age series of the last decade.
