Update: 2021-10-28

Description

Happy Spooky Season! We're sharpening our steak knives for a romp through the final chapter of one of horror's most iconic franchises- Halloween. The only thing more terrifying than that William Shatner mask is what Michael Myers really represents- toxic masculinity. Eek! Huddling in the closet with Dave and Jonah is the cohost of the Last Podcast on the Left, Henry Zebrowski.
