   Ep 50 - Halloween H20

   What do the Halloween franchise and Everything Everywhere All At Once have in common? Aside from the OG final girl, Jamie Lee Curtis, it's the multiverse! Sort of! We enter the mid-way point of the biggest horror-slasher franchise and reunite with the once former teen scream Queen, Laurie Strode, back from the dead - or was she ever gone? - in Halloween H2O: 20 Years Later. Let’s go! In the final episode of Hallowteen 2024, Amy and Dan get into a classic, remixed, of course, with 90s teen idols Michelle Williams and Josh Hartnett in his first film role ever! Also—LL Cool J, the world in September of 1998, and an in-depth explanation from Amy on how the thirteen films of the Halloween catalog work. Also, why is there no water in H2O? John Carpenter, we have a bone to pick with you about this. Are you enjoying what you're hearing? Your thoughts are not just important. They mean more than John Hughes to us.

We did it a couple of months ago. The Rules of Attraction. It works great. What are you talking about? It's fantastic. Well, just taking a step back to focus on what we're doing right now. Yes. Election. Election. I like that. I think 16 Perspectives is a lot for a book, but I understand why he chose that because everyone has their own opinion on how to fix politics or in their own perspective on how things should get done and their own perspective on what goes right, what gets wrong.
