# Episode #269 – Friend Request

It’s our second SHOCKTOBER episode (not that you’d know it, because Dan keeps forgetting to plug in the fucking Shocktober theme)! This time, we return to the social media horror well, with [Friend Request](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi_saHutKTeAhVp04MKHc3zD5UQFjAAegQIABAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.imdb.com%2Ftitle%2Ftt3352390%2F&usg=AOvVaw1Do1de-Mc5fNIOrPce5Awd). Meanwhile, Elliott gives a peek behind the curtain of Teddy Ruxpin fanatics, Stuart tells us what this movie really should be called, and Dan… well we’re still mad at Dan for NOT PUTTING IN THE GODDAMN SHOCKTOBER THEME.
