How Could You?

Join us this week for a vibrant conversation with Stephanie Gardner, creator of Cinema Nomad - a series debuting this week. You may have heard us talk about Stephanie over the years as she worked on this project originally titled 33 and Me. Now, we sit down for an in-depth conversation starting with the inception of this idea, to the joys and pitfalls of travel, and to the most important lesson of all - the community that is created when we share our love of art. Follow along Stephanie's journey @cinemanomadtv

"We mustn't dwell, no...not today...not on Rex Manning Day." It's April 8 and 30 years after its original release we are still celebrating Rex Manning and Empire Records - a cornerstone film of 90s culture that feels as fresh, vibrant, and as entertaining as ever.

"A long time ago, if you only measure time in years..." a film came out about 4 boys in Oregon on a quest for personal glory. That film is Stand By Me released in 1986 and directed by Rob Reiner in what would be a 10 year span of all time classic films. Centering around a group of best friends Stand By Me is as timeless and poignant as ever with sharp writing, incredible performances, and a song that instantly makes you nostalgic.

So Anora is Best Picture. Demi Moore lost. And we are holding space for everything, ups and downs, from the 97th Academy Awards. Joined by Jess and Jesse Kalavoda we are recapping fashion, awards, host, and bits that we loved and the moments we wished didn't happen.

It's the most wonderful and cinematic time of the year and we are documenting our predictions for what promises to be a surprising and plot twisting Oscars night in a tumultuous Oscars season. We can't do this without cinephile extraordinaire Anthony Desanctis from Frank Banko Alehouse Cinemas.

This is a story about love. Evenmoreso, this is a story about 4 people who met at a movie theater, and haven't stopped talking movies ever since. You know them from our Oscars post show every year, and we are excited to have them on the show to talk about one of their favorite films of all time - Moulin Rouge! The landscape of the Hollywood musical has gone through its seasons, from being able to print money, to now feeling like a massive swing. No one took a bigger swing than Baz Luhrmann in 2001 when he envisioned a juke box musical set in 1899 blending bohemian values with can-can dancers, Aussies a plenty, and pop music. Tune in as we discuss what made this such a smash hit, such a visionary pursuit, and perhaps what didn't make this a Best Picture winner (you know we had to sneak in a little Oscars talk).

"Fidelio" is the password, or you can just press play for our final in a long series of episodes celebrating the 25th anniversary of the films of 1999. If you've been listening all year you knew we would cover Kubrick's final psychosexual thriller masterpiece in all of its Christmas lights glory. And we did! Just under the wire to before the ball drops and we start 2025. It's Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise at their finest, in all sense of the word. It's more than just that one scene you've heard about. It's a film desperately searching to critique desire, wealth, power, and what happens when you go searching for something you don't intend to find.

Ho-ho-ho it's the jolliest time of the year and we are revisiting The Santa Clause celebrating a 30th anniversary. In 1994 Tim Allen was the pinnacle of multimedia celebrity with the number one film at the box office, a best seller, and the number one tv show. But how does he rate as a Santa? Tune in and find out our thoughts as we look back at this now holiday classic.

Call it Babes in Toyland, or March of the Wooden Soldiers, but either way call it our oldest Thanksgiving tradition! Join us as we kick off the festive week recapping the classic Laurel and Hardy musical comedy, March of the Wooden Soldiers. It's a film that for many is a holiday tradition, thanks to a copyright issue and its repeated plays on television from the 1960s on. For us it's firmly to be shown on one day in particular, leading us to ask How Could You Not watch March of the Wooden Soldiers on Thanksgiving?!

It is no secret that the Academy Awards criminally ignores horror genre films when dolling out Oscars. Thanks to a suggestion by a dear friend and longtime listener, we are handing out our first ever Oscares awards, honoring the horror films that missed out on gold.

"I see dead people" and the latest entry in our year long exploration of the films of 1999 with The Sixth Sense. M. Night Shyamalan's third film is probably the most discussed of the year, making water cooler fodder around a twist so surprising, it begs us to ask How could you think a twist is better than this one?

In a year of remarkable films, and highly talked about films, the buzz around The Blair Witch Project was the buzziest of all. In a lightning in a bottle moment, viral marketing, lack of mainstream understanding of the genre, and a group of unknowns combined to scare the daylights out of audiences. But perhaps more intriguing is the life this film continues to have as one of the most successful independent films of all time, the gold standard in found footage, and a film that continues to surprise and terrify generations removed from its release. Compelling us to ask: how could you not still be obsessed with The Blair Witch Project?

It would be impossible to cover this year in film and not discuss the boundary pushing (and perhaps setting) teen comedy of 1999: American Pie. With a cast of characters that were the who's who of the late 90s-early 2000s moment, and with some actors who are still some of the most bankable in Hollywood, this movie is a cultural touchstone of late 90s teen culture. Join us as we talk about the memorable, the deplorable, and the absolute cringe inducing moments of comedy and finding yourself in high school. With so many talked about moments, and given that comedy ages like bread not wine, we have to ask: How could you defend American Pie?!

Does somebody have a case of the Mondays? Fear not, whether it's the start of or midweek blues, we've got the cure with our latest episode covering Mike Judge's Office Space. Celebrating its 25th anniversary this all to real satirical look at workplace culture and the man who tries to escape it remains both a snapshot of 1999 and relevant to the cubicle life. In many ways this is the definitive workplace movie, but we more specifically want to know HOW COULD YOU NOT THINK THIS IS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT WORKPLACE MOVIE OF THE 90S?!

Brian Raftery is the author of Best. Movie. Year. Ever. How 1999 Blew Up the Big Screen, and in a year where this podcast is celebrating the 25th anniversary of those films, this was the episode we hoped most would happen. Interviewing Brian Raftery is a joy, he's funny, insightful, and an ardent movie fan. His passion for his subject matter and his ability to contextualize how these films still ripple to this day is nothing short of remarkable. Enjoy this week our conversation with Brian in this pinnacle episode for our podcast. Visit Brian's website https://www.brianraftery.com/ Listen to his podcast Gene and Roger and his Vietnam War Film podcast Do We Get to Win This Time?

You're the best around, nothing in the world is going to keep you from listening to our latest episode celebrating the 40th anniversary of THE KARATE KID. A coming of age sports film that has stood the test of time in the crane position.

What happens when Ben Affleck and Matt Damon play two fallen angels hellbent on getting back to heaven? Protests apparently. Join us as we look at Kevin Smith's fourth film Dogma as part of our ongoing celebration of the films of 1999. On this film's 25th anniversary we take a look in the rearview of the View Askew universe to evaluate the casting, controversies, and acclaim of a film much maligned on its release, and now desperately hard to find. With a cast including Chris Rock, Alan Rickman, and a special appearance by Alanis Morissette it seems like Kevin Smith rallied some of the heavenliest creatures for this exploration of faith, dogmatic law, and fast food franchises.

We are returning after a few weeks off to bring you a massive how could you. Returning to our original format that started this podcast we are taking care of a film that Lauren has never seen - The Crow - a genre and decade defining, atmospheric and soundtrack bar setting film. Join us as we deep dive into the gritty noir tale of revenge and love that comes with it a tragic production history and legacy burned into the minds of 90s cinephiles. And remember, "It can't rain all the time..."

It's the 25th anniversary of the Star Wars movie that brought Lucas's vision back to the big screen and a new trilogy to the Star Wars universe. Join us, and favorite third mic Anthony Desanctis, as we hit the hyper drive back to 1999 and remember the anticipation, and reviews of Episode One: The Phantom Menace.

It's an all out Daulton fight ya'll!! Daulton v. Daulton. Kicks v. Kicks. Double Deuce versus Road House? In a first for our podcast we are filling a How Could You? and covering its remake on the same episode. Born out of curiosity and a weekend away at the beach, we finall sat down to watch the crazy for Swayze classic and decided to follow it up and see how Gyllenhal fills the Tai-Chi shoes of the OG. Did we love the original? Did we loathe the remake? You'll have to tune into find out in our first ever original and remake Double Deuce episode.

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! Or whatever day you are listening to this episode we are taking it back to the late 90s and the WWE nee WWF. In a candid, raw, and unflattering documentary we witness the circus of pro-wrestling from the corporate to indie realm. Bodies are bloodied, and dreams are shattered, so it got us wondering: How could you like pro-wrestling?! Join us as we turn back the clock, fire up the VHS player, and hear from Mick Foley, Mankind, and many more in BEYOND THE MAT.

We are continuing our celebration of what can be argued as the greatest year of cinema ever with dreamy and teeny comedy 10 Things I Hate About You. We recite poems, have a Heath Ledger lovefest, and praise the feminist icon Kat Straford. And we had to have on our third mic Anthony Desanctis, programming manager for Frank Banko Alehouse Cinemas and devoted fan of this film from the age of 9. There's something special about 99 and something tough about our how could you this week where we ask: HOW COULD YOU NOT THINK THIS IS THE BEST TEEN MOVIE OF the 90s?!

Who won? Who lost? And what happened with that Best Picture announcement? It seems like a night ruled by Bella Baxter and J. Robert Oppenheimer, strange golden bedfellows. Ken rocked it. Da'Vine made us all cry. And the Oppenhomies ruled supreme. Join us with our favorite Oscar companions Director, Writer Jesse Kalavoda and Producer Jessice Kalavoda as we break down the event that was the 96th Academy Awards.

It's the most golden time of the year and we cannot do it without our third mic Anthony Desanctis! That's right, it's Oscars 2024! Will the Oppenhomies see Oscar glory for Nolan? Will Barbie be Kenough to the Academy? Is this the strongest Best Picture race in recent years? Who is to say? Us, of course! Join us as we lay out our predictions in all of the major categories in an energetic, at times contentious, film filled conversation about the 96th Academy Awards!

Come with me, and you'll be, in a world of pure admiration...for the beloved classic film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Dreamy production design, catchy tunes and the indomitable Gene Wilder combine to make this a much loved and often shown film. The story of its production is as rich as a Wonka bar and what it means to so many people is as glittering as a golden ticket. But why is this deeply adored film often neglected from being named as one of the best films of the 1970s. Hop on the boat and head into the tunnel with us as we celebrate and dissect: how could Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory not be one of the best films of the 1970s?

The first rule of podcast is...you talk about movies made in 1999. Okay, maybe it isn't the first rule, but all throughout this year we are looking back at the movies that made 1999 one of the best films ever. For our first entry, we are covering David Fincher's chaotic Fight Club. A film that is quotable, iconic, and without a doubt influential. Join us as we break down the core scenes, the charismatic cast, and the pure unadulterated cult like devotion for this film.

It's Ryan's birthday and it means a no veto episode is in the works. For this year Ryan is celebrating Zach Braff's Garden State in its 20th anniversary. It's a movie that was a Sundance darling, critically acclaimed and a boost for sales of The Shins albums. It's beloved by the How Could You?! Podcast, but this film went from much marveled to much maligned. In an emotionally honest episode we seek to answer the question How Could You not love Garden State?

We're back friends! And we are taking sometime to look back at the films of 2023 and to look forward to all that we have in store for 2024. Join us as we tease out how this podcast will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the films of 1999 (often considered one of cinema's greatest years) and new partnerships we are entering with ArtsQuest and Frank Banko Alehouse Cinemas. 1999: A Tribute to One of Cinema's Greatest Years First Saturday Horror Series

Lauren and Ryan, what's your favorite podcast? We hope this one, and we hope you love this 20th anniversary holly jolly celebration of beloved classic Elf. With a production history as storied as toy production at the North Pole, and box office returns full of tinsel, this is a holiday favorite that went through the seven layers of the candy cane forrest, the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, and the Lincoln Tunnel. Join us we close out the year with Will Ferrell's joy, James Caan playing this as serious as a meeting of the families, and direction by Jon Favreau that captures the essence of the Christmas season.

Shankweiler's Drive-In in Orefield, PA has the distinction of being America's oldest drive-in movie theater, and we had the honor of sitting down with owners Matt and Lauren who purchased the drive-in just last year. We get to hear about what led them to purchase Shankweiler's, what it's like to show movies in Arctic temperatures, the discovery of their side kick Funnel Cake, and so much more. From the origins of the mobile cinema, Moving Picture Cinema, to attending the National Theater Owners Convention we bring you this Hollywood story set under the stars this week. Make sure to follow all of the amazing things Matt and Lauren are up to on Instagram @shankweilers Check out their website too for upcoming features https://www.shankweilers.com

We promised it would be weird and it is. We are dipping our turkey legs into the murky gravy of a Hallmark Thanksgiving movie: The Thanksgiving House. Join us as we watch Mary Ross inherit a home and a love interest in Plymouth historian Everett Mather, a man obsessively trying to prove the site of the first Thanksgiving. Will they learn to put personal interests aside in favor of love? Will they be thwarted by bad boyfriends and town gossips? Will Lauren and Ryan find the line of mockery and love of this movie? You have to tune in to find out.

Call him Dash Daring, Call him Chuck Francisco, just don't call him late to the movies. In our latest episode we sit down with the satiny voice of Colonial Theatre's repertory programming. From love of horror to love of swing dancing to love of The Blob, we cover a lot of ground in this episode and every bit was a delight. We feel beyond grateful to have this conversation with him; it's energetic, full of the love of film, and a celebration of theater going. Follow him on Instagram @cyaniderush

There's a little witch in all of us...and this week we get bewitched, beguiled, and Bullocked with 1998's Practical Magic. Join us in a sleepy Massachusetts town where two sisters navigate magic, love, and finding sisterhood. In the late 90s both Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman were rising to the ascendancy that would mark the next 25 years of their careers. They are both deliciously charming in this movie, it is the perfect fall vibes, and it is decidedly rewatchable so How could you have never seen Practical Magic? Get a black cat, a midnight margarita, and some spooky vibes for this hallmark of female empowerment from the 90s.

What do you get when you combine sword swallowing, make up design, burlesque, acting, filmmaking, and choice film references? You get Pippsy Pinwheel, a performer whose talents are so numerous we can't list them all here. After seeing her perform at Pennsylvania's Renaissance Faire, and catching all of her film references in her show, we knew we had to get a behind the scenes look into her act, her journey to follow her dreams, and the reason for all of those prime movie references. After listening to the episode follow Pippsy many talents and adventures on Instagram and Facebook Pinwheel Sideshow @pinwheelsideshow Pippula the Vampire Clown @pippulathevampireclown Pippsy's Burlesque @pippsypinwheel

It's back to school time, and we are back to our original concept: filling gaps in our film knowledge! For the first time in awhile it's a gap for both of us, the 1975 classic film - Cooley High. Directed by Michael Schulz and written by Eric Monte the ripple effect of this film is endless. As a launchig pad for actors, an inspiration to some of your favorite directors, and the legacy of Eric Monte's influence on television, Cooley High is a special film. Set in Chicago in 1964 we follow two best friends as they navigate skipping class, quarter parties, and living for today. Both a celebration of young adulthood and a heartening tale of the friendships that inspire us, this movie is one that demands rewatches and all the praise that comes with us. Which leads us to: How could you not think that Cooley High is one of the most influential high school films of all time?

It captured the imaginations and box office numbers of 1982 and it's the episode we've been waiting to do: E.T! Join us on a 90 minute conversation that covers how the film was made, the casting, the reception, and recalling how this visitor from outer space captured our hearts. In some ways this is the quintessential childhood adventure film, and its legacy endures on. We were both lucky enough to grow up with this movie on repeat, so the question this week is: How could you not think E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is Spielberg's best movie of the 80s? It's a bold question in a decade with three entires to the Indiana Jones series and The Color Purple. But on this episode we ask, and hopefully defend our claim.

We're back! It's season 6 and we are starting out with a review of the best summer movie season of the last ten years. From Guardians to Asteroids and the blockbuster duo made in a fever dream, that's right, we are talking Barbenheimer! Join us as we catch you up on our summer, some spoiler free reviews, and the first how could you of the season: How could you not have fun this summer movie season?! A little but about us: We are two people who fell in love at a movie theater and never quite left. We started this podcast, because even as two devout movie obsessives, we had some SERIOUS gaps in our film knowledge. As time has gone on, we are still covering gaps, but now engaging in great cinematic debates, awards season prognosticating, and geeking out about our shared love of film. We always deep dive after we've seen a new movie or revisit and old favorite and we are now inviting you to sit in on the conversation.

Ready for your mind to spontaneously combust?! Not only has co-host Ryan never seen this Christopher Guest classic, but neither has first time guest and long time metal obsessive Ben Youngerman of Molten Metal Media. Join Lauren as she shames both of them, and find out can the irreverent comedy of this rock mockumentary holds up almost 40 years after its original release? Turn your volume up to 11 and get ready for an energetic show. As mentioned on the episode, Ben Youngerman is the owner of Molten Metal Media, check out his social media, and the accounts of his amazing clients, below: @moltenmetalmedia (Ben) @ninelivesthriftstore @compactdisccenter @starflightdroneshows Want to follow all things How Could You Podcast?

What's your favorite scary movie? There's a chance it is this week's episode! Join co-hosts Ryan and Lauren Tocci as they discuss the landmark, the influential, the iconic Wes Craven's Scream. There is no denying their absolute fandom for this film, and even 27 years after its release this film is still as conversation provoking as ever. What scenes do our podcasts host love the most? What parts still chill them to their core? How many of the iconic cast have they traveled to conventions to meet? This week they are covering all that and more!

It is every galactic geek's favorite holiday, International Star Wars Day, or as it is also know May the Fourth! We could think of only one way to celebrate: talk about a Star Wars movie that was never made. In perhaps our most niche and nerdy episode of all time we are traveling to the Outer Rim to explore what could have been in the Skywalker Saga. Namely, we are looking at the Colin Trevorow proposed Episode Nine: Duel of the Fates. If you are a Star Wars fan you may know of the fabled sliding blast doors of Episode 9. Trevorow left the final installment of the Skywalker Saga and with it his concept art and script for what would have been a very different concluding chapter than Rise of Skywalker. Our good friend, and third mic, Anthony Desanctis came to us with a premise: what if we watch the motion comic of this film and YouTube and answer for one and for all: How could you not make the film Duel of the Fates?! Is this the best way to celebrate May the Fourth? Will Anthony and Ryan feel more satisfied by Duel of the Fates? Will Lauren put down her light saber and concede her love of Rise of Skywalker? Listen to find out! To watch the motion comic as we did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E02BkoY_K0I

In one of our coolest opportunities to date, we recorded live from the Compact Disc Center in Bethlehem, PA during Record Store Day - a biannual celebration of all things for the vinyl obsessed and supporting local music retailers. Of course there was only one conversation that felt appropriate: best movie soundtracks of all time. We've set a lot of rules for ourselves. We don't cover movie musicals, films from previous episodes, and scores. Most importantly these are our SUPER subjective picks of soundtracks that we owned on vinyls, cassettes, CDs and played to death. Hopefully by the end of the podcast you won't be saying: how could you pick that as a the best movie soundtrack of all time? In the best moment of the episode we get to grab a quick chat with owner of the Compact Disc Center, Mary Radakovitz, asking her to tell us her favorite soundtrack of all time. Special thanks to Ben Youngerman of Molten Metal Media for arranging this awesome opportunity and running our mics for the day. Join us in our first ever on location recording, support Compact Disc Center, and enjoy our trip down the great cinema playlists of all time. Want to follow all things How Could You Podcast?

You see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal.  And hopefully you all see us as podcasters as we bring you The Breakfast Club. There is no denying the web of influence that extends from this film. There is nary a teen comedy or drama post 1985 in American cinema that doesn't try to ascend to the comedic pithiness and emotional resonance of what Hughes captures about teenage life. In this episode we cover our favorite scenes, quotes, the characters we most relate to, the legacy of Hughes, and how we contextualize this film that is both timeless and very much a product of the 80s. Join us for a conversation that hopefully feels less like detention and more like a celebration of this iconic film. Want to follow all things How Could You Podcast?

In the wee hours of the morning after the 95th Oscars four friends who met at a movie theater and never quite left to join forces and discuss this year's Academy Awards. Our dear friends Jess and Jesse Kalavoda join us as we break down what went right and wrong during this year's telecast. There is not better way to end this exciting Oscar season than with good friends and hot takes.

"It's the most movie filled time of the year..." and we are joined by a man who meets and maybe exceeds our Oscars excitment, Anthony Desanctis, Programming Manager of Frank Banko Alehouse Cinemas to predict the 95th Academy Awards. In this episode we gather to offer our picks, our snubs, and our greatest hopes for the 95th Academy Awards. We cover all four acting races, director, and best picture in our prediction show in hopes to solidify our ballots and help you with your own. In a season that has been marked by emotional speeches from Ke Huy Quan, Michelle Yeoh, and Brendan Fraser, can the 95th ceremony deliver the goods and make a little magic? Who will win out in the hotly contested best actress race? Will Rihanna absolutely slay her performance? (the answer is yes). How many times will Jimmy Kimmel make Moonlight-La La Land jokes? It's all ours to find out.

It's our first ever SEQUEL EPISODE and we couldn't think of a more deserving film than Creed. Journey with us as a long loved franchise gets the fresh character and innovative director treatment. Ryan Coogler finds a balance of nostalgia and new direction that should be a guide map for modern filmmakers. He signals the next generation of Hollywood legends and provides what is perhaps the best entry in the Rocky franchise. Actually we would ask: how could you not think Creed is the best Rocky film?!

It's Super Bowl week, and as Philadelphia's beloved Birds make it to the big dance we thought it only appropriate to cover the city's most enduring sports hero: Rocky Balboa. A script written in a feverish 3 1/2 days from a first time screenwriter turned sports movies on their head. Packed with heart, sensitivity and triumph in the face of loss, Rocky inspires us all to go the distance. With such a heartening story, and so many sequels, it would have to be required viewing of any film fan. It's a Best Picture winner and has one of the most iconic scores of all time. So we have to in this episode ask one of our co-hosts, HOW COULD YOU NEVER HAVE SEEN ROCKY?! Join us for a deep dive into loving Philly, rooting for Adrienne, defending Gazzo, and hating Paulie.

By the power of Grayskull and birthdays we are bringing you a celebration of the beloved (and occasionally maligned) film adaptation of the toy series, Masters of the Universe. Join us on a good journey through the realms of Eternia and some town in Texas to follow He-Man in his usual battle with the villainous Skeletor. Behind the scenes, budget cuts and rushed schedules reigned supreme leading to a more earthly setting than most fans of the cartoon expected. But 7 year old Ryan didn't care about any of that. It was all about seeing He-Man battle it out, laughing at Man at Arms, and that epic throne room. Hence why it is his pick this year for a very special birthday episode celebrating one of his most enduring loves, He-Man. Want to follow all things How Could You Podcast?

How could you 2022?! How could you make us pick a favorite film from this year? Okay, the year didn't, but co-hosts Ryan and Lauren Tocci are back to discuss their top films of 2022. With a little help from The Blockbuster game they will be competing in a head to head draft style to come up with their top 5 films of the year. Will Ryan's list be dominated by horror movies? Will Lauren be indecisive? Tune in to find out the best, the worst, and the rest of 2022 in film. Want to follow all things How Could You Podcast?

The Godfather. Die Hard. Home Alone. What do these titles have in common? More than you would think according to co-hosts Lauren and Ryan Tocci. Join them as the ho-ho-ho their way into the holiday season with the worst American family, the McAllisters. Listen to Lauren as she tries to make heroes out of the Wet Bandits, and Ryan as he picks his favorite traps. It is an episode about 90s nostalgia and Christmas joy. No need for "how could yous?!" on this episode packed with all of the reasons that make this a holiday classic. Want to follow all things How Could You Podcast?

In a time of year that kicks off many family traditions, we explore a seemingly weird one for co-host Lauren and ask: How could you think Wizard of Oz is a Thanksgiving movie?! Lauren remembers this classic film fondly at this time of year, and tries to justify why we should all be watching it this time of year. But more importantly we are joined by the Colossus of Cinema himself, Anthony DeSanctis. He is a local film programmer with a global sense of movie, and he matches, nay exceeds our co-hosts in their exuberance for all things film. There is no denying the influence and power of The Wizard of Oz, both in nostalgic remembering and how it changed the landscape of cinematic history. In this episode we cover it all and more. Join as we follow that yellow brick road on a conversation about Judy Garland, film, and the dreamers in all of us.

You know the joy of trick or treating and getting a full size candy bar? Well consider this our full size discussion on John Carpenter's Halloween. It is the film that started a franchise and a revolution in horror that is still felt today. Anchored by Carpenter and Debra Hill's writing and enhanced by tremendous and believable performances, this is a masterclass in suspense, scores, and the terror behind the holiday. Join us on what promises to be an energetic and nostalgic look at the film that solidified the slasher: Halloween.  Want to follow all things How Could You Podcast?
