The Buds spend some time with horror industry staple Justin Beahm to talk about his new music project, Phantom Lightkeeper, and how it came to be! They discuss his origins in the film industry, his creative process, how his album "Shore Ghosts" came to be, and everything else that led him to sit in the honorary 3rd chair at Ear Buds HQ!

Then they discuss a bit about what they like to listen to around the Halloween Holidays to get in the mood for spooky - nay, spoopy - season.

A special EYE BUDS review! The Buds deep dive into the HIT cinematic sensation "WEAPONS" from director Zach Cregger. They talk expectations, Cregger's previous work, etc. and then dive DEEEP into the kaleidoscopic world of Weapons, how it plays on expectations, subverts and capitalizes on genre tropes, ties expertly the crafts of comedy and horror in a web of vignetting explorations of loss and trauma, becoming the definitive horror film of the moment. OR maybe they hated it!let us know what you thought of the movie!

Only thing better than Benito's Earlier Work? Propagandhi's 2025 work! Which is why the Buds are reviewing it here, now! They jibberjabber about a bunch of Ear Buds related stuff at the beginning, including Black Sabbath's final show with Ozzy (this was recorded before Ozzy's passing), and then get into the track-by-track review of "AT PEACE."
