Happy Halloween from the good(?) folk over at Silver Shamrock. That’s right! We’re talking Halloween 3: Season of the Witch, the only entry in the Halloween franchise that doesn’t feature the iconic antagonist Michael Myers. And what better time to talk about it than on Halloween itself. Special thanks to Brok from Damage Boost for joining us.
All the preparations have been made and the party beds down for the night to get some much-needed rest. The next morning, a surprise guest throws a wrench into their plans and gives them pause before their journey.
Holy Cow! Sam Wise has made it to episode 50, and she answers questions about answering questions and about maintaining a social life without Facebook.

DUDE! “It Happening One Night!” This week on the podcast Bryan Dressel, Matt “Space Ghost” Dykes, and Graham “Hoppity Hooper” Mason discuss the super awesome season six episode that ranks up there among the best of the season. There’s a lot to like here, especially that Ninja restaurant.
With the success of Stargate SG1 the producers started to think of ideas on how to expand the Stargate universe. They started coming up with several different ideas on how to continue the franchise. The initial idea was that SG1 would end and the spin off would pick up where it left off. The SGC would have relocated to an ancient base under Antarctica and the series would have taken place in our galaxy still. When they realized that there was no way they were going to be able to wait for SG1 to finish because it kept getting renewed, they decided to run both series concurrently and move the Atlantis series to another galaxy.
Moving the series to the Pegasus Galaxy freed the producers and writers up to tell different stories and introduce new and different races and cultures that were not bound by the canon that SG1 had established. It also meant that they needed to establish a new antagonist species to the series. They didn’t want to re-tread old ground on the type of enemy they had for Atlantis– they wanted something different from the Goa’uld. The Wraith were the result. Vampiric in nature, the Wraith feed upon human beings- draining their life energy and absorbing it into themselves. This makes them incredibly resilient to damage and allows them to heal quickly (especially if they have just recently fed). It was decided that the Wraith would have a matriarchal society with Queens being the top of the chain, much like bees. They took a lot from the hierarchy of bees in designing the Wraith.

Matt is a huge film and TV buff who studied film and moving image production at university. In his spare time he enjoys reading comics and books, the occasional gaming session and writing novels.
This week on the podcast Bryan, Chewie, and Jon discuss the delightfully bonkers Japanese Horror Comedy film House, written and directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi with input by his daughter Chigumi. Truly, it’s a movie that has to be seen to be believed and it’s quite the treat. We recommend going in as blind as you can, and if you haven’t seen it before our episode, do so and then resume. We’re anxious to talk about it with you!
What to do on the last night before a big and fateful journey but check out a smutty bookstore with a quirky proprietor, take a relaxing dip in a hot bath, and go on a philosophical bender at an impossible tree.
We all have inherent value. Lord of the Rings says so. Enjoy.
