We'll pod your cast apart!

Spooky month continues as The Becks tackle one of the hornier scary movies based on a book: Clive Barker's Hellraiser, based on his own novella The Hellbound Heart. In this episode, they discuss what kind of artist is Barker, the legacy of Pinhead, and what scenes were too sexy for the R rated cut.

Also, this was recorded during the final inning of the Phillies' postseason run, so if you want to hear Billy's live reaction to that disaster, that's here too. Enjoy!
