PODCAST: THE MONSTER SQUAD (1987):”Give Me the Amulet You…NERD!”
Happy Halloween everyone! Here we are in 2023 with an all new spooky show devoted to one of Ray’s all time favorites: Fred Dekker’s 1987 cult classic The Monster Squad! And how does Robman feel about the movie? Better throw this on in the background while you’re carving up those pumpkins to find out!

PODCAST: BATMAN FOREVER (1995):”What Kind of a Nerd Has Bats on the Brain?”
I find it highly likely that were Tim Burton to continue directing Michael Keaton as Batman in a third installment, Halloween would have featured as a prominent setting. Y’know just like Christmas did in Returns. Unfortunately, we don’t live in the timeline where such a scenario occurred but Batman Forever still wound up being the (to date) only live action Dark Knight cinematic adventure to take place during the spooky season. Isn’t that weird!? Time to join Rob and Ray as we yap about Joel Schumacher’s 1995 take on the caped crusader!
PODCAST: From Dusk Till Dawn (1995):”Every NERD, Be Cool. You…Be Cool.”
The dynamic chemistry of the cast, needle drops, editing, special effects, dialogue and structure on display in From Dusk Till Dawn are all things that can really do it for a teenager back in the 90’s as well as an…older person here in 2023. So it was clearly the go to inaugural selection for a Halloween themed yap over at Comic Book Heroes Podcast back when we first started recording. Rob and I both have very dear feelings for this film which becomes quite clear, quite quickly!
PODCAST: The Lost Boys (1987):”Listen to This Podcast, Nerd. Become One of Us.”
The past few Halloweens over at the Comic Book Heroes podcast (hosted by myself and good friend Rob Van Brunt), we’ve made exceptions to our nerd rule and chosen Horror movies to yap about. Mostly because Halloween is awesome but also because October 31st just happens to be Rob’s Birthday! This month leading up to our new spooky episode, I’ll be reposting those shows beginning with this one from 2022 featuring Joel Schumacher’s 1987 blood sucking take on teenage mutant ninja vampires: The Lost Boys!
PODCAST: MALLRATS (1995):”I Love the Smell of Podcasts in the Morning!”
Well this episode of the Dorkside podcast turned out to be one big love letter to Kevin Smith’s 1995 cinematic sophomore effort, Mallrats. Join Rob and Ray as we discuss our first experiences with the movie, it’s place in the View Askewniverse pantheon and why Brodie Bruce is the comic book nerd’s “name amongst names.”
