Send a text To kick off 2026, Shawn and Colin welcome back Luke Bartosik to clear up a little past business. It's now Alien Month on the podcast and we're starting it off with the grand daddy of them all, the appropriately named classic 'Alien'.

Send a text As our Fright Month continues, it's time to get weird. And the easiest way for us to do that is to welcome back guest David Owen when he makes us watch the H.P. Lovecraft classic 'Dagon'.
