About this listen

This Halloween, Jeff & Josue revisit the softer side of spooky season with a double feature that’s more cozy than creepy. 🎃👻


They kick things off with It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966) — revisiting childhood faith, flying aces, and a few quotable Peanuts moments. Then, it’s on to Casper (1995) — Christina Ricci, Bill Pullman, and a surprisingly dark ghost story that still has heart.


From pumpkin-patch philosophy to resurrection machines, it’s a Halloween rewatch full of nostalgia, laughs, and just enough weird magic.
