Thankfully, the guys have a slew of interesting horror topics to break down: Jamie Lee Curtis is returning to Halloween, The Walking Dead is upon us, IT is racking up dollars at the box office, and... well, The Mummy is out for rental.

Kurt is back, and he brings with him a whole slew of topics to ponder with regular contributor Dave Jahblahblahblah... Star Wars, The Last Jedi, and whether or not the evil BB8 droid is leading Kurt to the dark side of anxiety regarding the new film. Are the Porgs a sign that The Last Jedi is truly becoming "Disneyfied"? Is this simply an Empire Strikes Back retread? And will Luke wield a lightsaber? BLUE OR GREEN NO LESS?

In which Kurt and two self-described Trekkies/Trekkers go over the new Star Trek Discovery trailer. Does it look like Trek? Does it have too much action?

A Venom standalone film is coming, and despite Bob's objection to the character as a whole, he tries to look at this thing rationally. The guys also ponder whether this will be tied into the new Spider-Man universe.

They also talk about the updated Voltron Legendary Defenders Series, Gravity Falls, and Star vs The Forces From Evil!   

In which Kurt and DC superfan Dave Jahblahblahblah run down the possibilities regarding the latest Ben Affleck Batman rumor.

Somewhere, there is an unlikely precedent involving The Cat In The Hat... Kurt then welcomes in beloved horror host Dr. Gangrene to talk about the mythological tale of the long lost 1927 Lon Chaney film London After Midnight. Why is this film so hallowed? Does an actual print exists? And is the chase for the film better than the product? Kurt and the Doc also discuss the latest Halloween and Friday the 13th news, with a shocking twist as Dr. Gangrene reveals an opinion about the Halloween franchise which throws Kurt for a loop.

In which Kurt and two guest hosts discuss the film Arrival... why it was so successful and what this says about Hollywood's embracement of plausible intelligent life. The guys also discuss how Halo imitated Alien, whether or not Frasier deserves a lower grade due to pandering dog, and if they believe aliens exist. Other random topics include The Last Starfighter, The Martian, Bug, Signs, Shia Labeouf, and whether or not The Force Awakens was A New Hope clone. Despite all this pop culture nerdiness, the guys actually try to ponder some of the concepts alluded to in Arrival. What is time? How we would react as a society if aliens visited? Would we alter our free will if we knew painful moments were bound to happen? Or would you choose to celebrate the times of happiness first?

Unfortunately, Carrie Fisher has passed. Kurt opens the show with memories of his Princess and why we lost much more than simply an iconic Star Wars character. Transitioning into a more traditional show, Kurt brings in new SCG contributor Terrance AKA Damone for a conversation about the Alien franchise and whether Alien: Covenant will be a return to form for the series. Finally, the budding bromance partners Dave Jahblahblahblah and Cultspark Bob are back to discuss potential Han Solo standalone characters, best Star Wars robots, and whether or not Disney will eventually..... eh, you'll have to listen.

Rogue One is out, and Kurt has just the guys to bring in to dissect it. It's the heralded return of (GASP) uber-producer Kelly Dolan! And if that wasn't enough, Kelly is not only reunited with Kurt, but joining them is EARS OF STEEL host Bart Scott! An ultra-rare meeting of the minds! So, about that Rogue One. Was it fresh? Did the new characters stand out? Were the old characters a distraction or an enhancement? Was it too dark? Does the film make you more or less excited for the standalone films? And finally, what's your FOUR STAR RATING? Other topics this week include the Beauty & The Beast trailer, the Blade Runner 2 teaser, the Han Solo standalone film, and a lightning round of SCG polarizing issues are answered by the guys... Plus, most importantly, what did Kelly Dolan, the one non-Guardians of the Galaxy fan in the entire world, think of the new trailer?

The trailer for Spider-Man Homecoming is here. Two longtime Spidey superfans break it down. Does it look different? Is this what we've been pining for? How bad ass was Michael Keaton as The Vulture? Was there too much Iron Man? And moreover, a surprising answer to this question... which Spider-Man film had the best first trailer? It's Christmas time, and Cultspark Bob and Kurt suss out all the classic holiday specials of Christmas past, whether they be claymation or film. They also try to answer the new narrative question, is Die Hard considered a Christmas movie? Also, is Love Actually good? War for the Planet of the Apes also has a new trailer. Is this trilogy on the brink of being considered one of the greatest of all-time? Finally, The Walking Dead mid-season finale looms large. The guys are split, and discuss why. 

The Mummy trailer is finally here, yet Monster Kids remain skeptical despite an overwhelmingly positive response from film fans. Kurt tries to understand why they're concerned, and what he hopes will come from this new shared universe. Dave Jahblahblahblah tries to provoke Kurt about the presence of Baby Groot in the new Guardians of the Galaxy 2 trailer, and someone whispers "Ewoks" in conjunction with the discussion.  Has The Walking Dead gotten any better? And what, if anything, infuriates the guys most about this season's arc. Finally, Westworld Season 1 is done. Did the finale live up to the hype? Are the guys excited about a season two? What questions remain? How compelling was it?

Finally, a through conversation on reboots and whether we as a fan community are far too hard on studios attempting to repackage famous films for a new audience.

Doctor Strange is out in theaters which can only mean one thing... a visit from SCG resident Marvel fanboy Mr. Marvel himself, Tommy JW. Doctor Strange seems to be getting some varied opinions, so the guys break down the good, the bad, the weird, and whether or not this was the "different" Marvel film Kurt hoped it would be.  The guys also discuss the new Logan trailer, the Deadpool creative differences, and the state of the X-Men universe.  Plus, seven episodes in, Luke Cage is working for one of the guys, maybe not so much the other. A breakdown of where we're at. All this plus an Inhuman TV show, GOTG2, Infinity War, and The Defenders!

The Walking Dead is arguably the most popular television show of all-time, and this Sunday, the world finds out who Negan killed. Kurt and a roundtable of passionate fans discuss the death possibilities, while also asking themselves the tougher questions like- Why do we keep watching, especially in lieu of any signs of hope or resolution? Was season 6 a mess? What do we hope to see in season 7? Will Carl's Magic Hat continue to grow? This plus what other shows currently have us salivating for new content, and why none of us watch Better Call Saul.

On a more reflective note, Kurt is back with one of his long-winded stories. This one involves Dads, temper tantrums, babies, a bent mop, and a barbershop quartet of wildlife on Kurt's deck. No, seriously.

Should you invest in comic books? Did Bill Finger create Batman? These two questions and the subsequent narratives surrounding their potential answers dominate the conversation this week as Kurt brings in Screamland creator Harold Sipe and amateur collecting enthusiast "The Weasel" to get some answers.
