In this podcast, I will attempt to strip away all the baggage and bullshit that comes along with the Halloween franchise. I will be examining the events of the first Halloween film objectively to see what the order of events are and if there seems to be a priority. I find that a lot of common theories about Michael from the original are actually applied after the fact and do not exist. There are no hints that Michael and Laurie Strode are related. It is also not clear that he had an extraordinary interest in killing Laurie until she throws herself into the fire. Thanks for listening. Please like and subscribe.

In this video/podcast, I will be watching the 2000 film Ready to Rumble and performing commentary over top of it. The movie stars David Arquette, Scott Caan and Oliver Platt. It is a zany, tongue-in-cheek comedy based around the world of professional wrestling. Although, Jimmy King is a fictional character, many of the sights, sounds and people are authentic to WCW productions at the time. It shouldn't be taken seriously and can be quite enjoyable, if that is achieved. Please like, comment and subscribe.
