59:33 - 1:03:30 - In lieu of recommendations, we let Alex turn this into a plugcast.

Episode #89 - Season of the Witch

Shocktober continues, ultimate Nic Cage-style, with his "the guys burning witches were right all along" historical opus Season of the Witch. Meanwhile, Stuart takes us time-traveling to meet teenage Stu, Dan shows his encyclopediac knowledge of proper superhero terminology, andElliott takes us behind the scenes at Cleavage Magazine.

0:00 - 0:51 - Introduction, technical difficulties disclaimer, and SHOCKTOBER theme.
0:52 - 5:33 - Much discussion about Dan's "area," followed by premature, hubristic crowing about having our audio issues fixed.
5:34 - 30:30 - What could be more SHOCKTOBER-y seasonal than discussing Season of the Witch?
30:31 - 34:30 - Stuart continues to make a mockery of our SHOCKTOBER final judgments.
34:31 - 40:12 - Much needling of Dan and a discussion of FlopCon 2011 40:13 - 58:46 - Flop House Movie Mailbag
58:47 - 1:02:06 - The sad bastards recommend
1:02:07 - 1:03:34 - Goodbyes, theme, and outtakes.

Episode #88 - Priest

What can we say about Priest except that it's marginally better than Legion?  At this rate, director Scott Charles Stewart and star Paul Bettany should get it right in another hundred movies or so.  Meanwhile Stuart calmly usurps Elliott's role as master recapper, Tom expounds on the joy of a roller-skating Patrick Swayze, and Dan ponders more fully the intricacies of pronouncing "Cam Gigandet."

0:00 - 0:37 - Introduction and theme.
0:38 - 4:10 - We introduce our guest, Tom Silvestro of the very funny ESCAPE POD FILMS, and gripe more about our ongoing technical problems.
4:11 - 27:58 - Should you let this Priest touch you?
