We hope you're having a wonderful holiday season! While we're in our off-season as the year winds to a close, we have another special episode for you this week, courtesy of the famous Ghoul Scouts!

Vera, Jess, and Jocee take over the show again this week to discuss the 1989 Winona Ryder starring satire, HEATHERS. Sharply written and tackling some heavy topics with remarkable intention, Heathers tells the story of Veronica Sawyer (Ryder) who attends Westerburg High amidst an ungodly number of cliques and an even more pervasive collection of girls named Heather. When JD (Christian Slater) comes into her life, he shakes everything up -- including stacking up an actual body count. Heathers deserves a bit of discretion given some of its potentially triggering subject matter, but it is so thoughtfully scripted and skillfully constructed that it feels astoundingly relevant even after more than 35 years.

Also featuring a fun, throwback, Patron-only segment featuring an 80s teen-zine personality quiz, this is a lively and insightful conversation that we hope you enjoy!

Welcome to another special interview with writers and directors Peter Hall and Paul Gandersman about their new film MAN FINDS TAPE, which hits theaters and VOD on December 5th.

Man Finds Tape tells a richly textured story about two siblings -- Lynn (Kelsey Pribilski), who is a documentary filmmaker and Lucas (William Magnuson), whose series of viral videos have previously stirred tremendous controversy. When shocking footage of local residents emerges, and no one can recall the events they depict, the siblings launch an investigation that will unravel their understanding of their personal histories -- and of reality itself. Man Finds Tape also threads a fascinating thematic needle by integrating a decisively religious element to the narrative in the form of Rev Endicott Carr (John Gholson) whose small local church and public access sermons might be the key to all of the mysterious occurrences in the town.

Man Finds Tape is riddled with unexpected narrative surprises and remarkable thematic layers about trust, belief, perception, and control. Reed sat down with Peter and Paul to discuss their exciting debut feature. We hope you'll check it out and we hope you enjoy this conversation!

We have a special interview for you this week which arrives just in time for your holiday shopping considerations. The concept behind Restoration Games is that the team rescues fun, buzz-generating board games that have largely been lost to obscurity and brings them back in rejuvenated and modernized editions. Their bestselling UnMatched Series has generated tremendous excitement permitting characters like Daredevil or Sherlock Holmes to do battle against Dracula or King Arthur. Their upcoming release Battle Monsters already created huge excitement at Gen Con, especially for one Mr. Nathan Rouse.

We got to sit down with two key staffers at Restoration Games, Lead Marketing Alchemist Beth Erikson and Meeple Mover Josh Willenbrink, to discuss the company's primary efforts in restoring once-popular games and what makes their bestselling titles so accessible and addicting. It's a fun and lively conversation that we think you're going to love.
