It's been a minute! In this episode we wanted to do a little checkin after a summer off of recording and chat some of our top Horror of the Halloween season, as well as some shows we've been watching and new bands we have been listening to. We talk this season's big ones like; Nope, Barbarian, Pearl, and dive deeper into Halloween Ends and its soundtrack. We also chat the Irish series, Derry Girls. This episode does contain some minor spoilers, because no matter how hard we try- somethings get a little spoiled (go watch the movies!).

We also talk about some of the new music we have both been loving. Some of Abbie's picks include: Momma, https://www.mommaband.com/ , and their new album "Household Name"; New Zealand's The Beths https://thebeths.com/ , and their new one "Expert in a Dying Field" . Jon talks more about his new love of Turnstile, https://www.turnstilehardcore.com/ , their new one "Go Glow" , and their rise to opening for Blink 182 ; as well as Toronto based Treehouse of Horror, https://treehouseofhorrormp3.bandcamp.com/ , and they lead us to talking about London ON's The Thunder Queens https://www.instagram.com/thunderqueensband/?hl=en

We play some clips from Sebadoh's Bakesale released on Subpop in 1994; Momma's Household Name on Polyvore in 2022; Turnstile's Go Glow on Roadrunner Records; and Treehouse of Horror from Songs We Wrote.

Thanks to Artie Wosko for our intro and outro music!

This week we take it back to 1999 but make it Shakespearean once again with 10 Things I Hate About You. The film, directed by Jill Unger and released on Touchstone Pictures, Mad Chance, and Jaret Entertainment had a true banger of a soundtrack released on Hollywood records, also in 1999. This soundtrack has been heralded as one of the most iconic of the 90's and with tracks like Letters to Cleo's cover of Cheap Trick's "I Want You to Want Me" and Nick Lowe's "Cruel to be Kind" along with classics like George Clinton's "Atomic Dog" it isn't hard to figure out why. We discuss the film at length and Jon lays down a pretty fun fact about what song you NEED to sing in your career if you want to land a role as the next Batman Villian.

Welcome to the episode where Jon gushes nearly the entire time about his favourite movie- we ask "is this what started Mallrats?!"- and once again, more gushing over montages, cuties, and the cast overall. We talk Dazed and Confused, the film, extensively and do get to the super male driven soundtrack (yes, the reason Abbie was never super into it). We ponder what "hoochie coo" means and spoiler- don't figure out the definition.
