    This week, Austin and Phil's party to celebrate their 78th episode was interrupted by a monster from space who hurled the head of the Big John statue (local reference, sorry/ not sorry) at them and began attacking the city. The guys grabbed their shaky microphone and set out to document the entire situation... but eventually they got sidetracked by a movie. They watched the modern kaiju classic Cloverfield as a way to kick off their sci-fi Halloween. They talk about Matt Reeves, Drew Goddard, movies as a reaction to tragedy, and emotional weight in genre movies. Austin's Shout-Out: JerryRig Everything Phil's Shout-Out: Nerdstalgic
