Trick or treat! It's time for the annual Down These Mean Streets Halloween Special! In this king-sized bonus show, we'll hear a parade of stories - both spooky and silly - designed to get you in the spirit of the season. First, big screen horror legend Boris Karloff lends his voice to "The Corridor of Doom," a thriller from Inner Sanctum Mysteries (originally aired on CBS on October 23, 1945). The Great Gildersleeve attends a Halloween party (originally aired on NBC on October 29, 1947) and a Halloween prank backfires on Henry in The Aldrich Family (originally aired on NBC on October 30, 1940). Then, it's ghosts vs. gumshoes in a pair of old time radio mysteries. Michael Shayne finds a dead body in a haunted house in "The Ghost of Moccasin Hill" (originally aired on Mutual on April 9, 1945), and a ghost may be responsible for a murder in a syndicated adventure of Boston Blackie. The Origin of Superstition tells us the story of the Boogey Man in a syndicated show from 1935, and Favorite Story dramatizes Washington Irving's classic "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." Dorothy McGuire reprises her screen role as The Screen Director's Playhouse adapts "The Spiral Staircase" (originally aired on NBC on November 20, 1949), and Herbert Marshall makes a monster in a Suspense production of "Frankenstein" (originally aired on CBS on November 3, 1953).

On the twenty-seventh night of our #31DaysToHalloween the Mister joins me in reviewing GRETEL & HANSEL (2020), from director Osgood Perkins, the film has a screenplay by Rob Hayes based on the Grimm fairy tale.  Separated from their desperate mother, teenage Gretel (Sophia Lillis) leads her younger brother Hansel (Samuel Leakey) through a desolate, distant fairytale countryside in a desperate search for food and work.  After a long journey, the siblings are lured by the scent of a lavish feast to a strange, black-gabled house in the forest, home to the seemingly kind but unsettling woman (Alice Krige).  As Gretel's protective instincts clash with the woman's manipulative attempts to mentor her in burgeoning dark powers, the siblings begin to uncover the chilling and sinister secrets of the seemingly bottomless pantry and their host's true nature.  The film clocks in at 1 h and 27 m, is rated PG-13 and we caught it on the Hoopla app but you can find it on Prime Video, Pluto TV, Roku Channel, Tubi and to buy/rent on Prime Video.

On the twenty-sixth night of our #31DaysToHalloween the Mister and KT join me in reviewing TUCKER AND DALE vs EVIL (2010), from writers Eli Craig and Morgan Jurgenson, the film is directed by Eli Craig.  Tucker (Alan Tudyk) and Dale (Tyler Labine), two kind-hearted but stereotypical-looking "hillbillies," head to their newly purchased vacation cabin in the woods for a relaxing fishing trip and some home renovation.  Their peaceful getaway is interrupted by a group of college students who, due to a series of hilarious and increasingly gruesome misunderstandings, become convinced that Tucker and Dale are murderous backwoods killers.  As the terrified college students attempt to "fight back" or "rescue" their friends, they accidentally cause a series of bizarre and bloody fatalities, leaving the baffled and innocent duo struggling to figure out why these kids are killing themselves all over their property.  The film clocks in at 1 h and 29 m, is rated R and we caught it on Prime Video but you can find it on the Hoopla app as well as Hulu, Pluto TV, Roku Channel, Tubi and to buy/rent on Prime Video.

On the twenty-fourth night of our #31DaysToHalloween the Mister joins me in reviewing TRAIN TO BUSAN (2016), screenplay from Park Joo-suk and Yeon Sang-ho, the film is directed by Yeon Sang-ho.  A busy, divorced fund manager, Seok-woo, reluctantly agrees to take his young daughter, Su-an, on the KTX bullet train from Seoul to Busan for her birthday, unaware that a deadly zombie virus has just begun rapidly spreading across the country.  Just after the train departs, an infected passenger boards and quickly turns, unleashing a chaotic outbreak among the confined passengers who must now fight their way through the narrow train cars to survive.  As the high-speed train races toward the supposed safety of Busan, Seok-woo and a small group of survivors are forced to battle the relentless hordes while also confronting the worst of human selfishness among the remaining uninfected.  The film clocks in at 1 h and 58 m, is unrated  (but let's say R) and we caught the film on the Hoopla app, but you can watch the film on Netflix and to buy/rent on Prime Video.

On the twenty-second night of our #31DaysToHalloween the Mister joins me in reviewing ROH (2019), written/directed by Rob Jabbaz.  After a year of downplaying a flu-like virus, the city of Taipei is suddenly plunged into bloody chaos as a mutation causes the infected to act on their darkest, most violent, and most perverse impulses.  The highly aggressive plague turns ordinary people into sadistic, grinning maniacs who revel in torture, murder, and sexual assault.  Separated when the outbreak begins, a young couple, Jim (Berant Zhu) and Kat (Regina Lei), fight desperately to reunite while navigating the extreme depravity that has destroyed all semblance of civilization.  The film clocks in at 1 h and 39 m, is rated TV-MA and we caught the film on the Hoopla app, but watch the film on AMC+ and to buy/rent on Prime Video.

On the twenty-first night of our #31DaysToHalloween the Mister joins me in reviewing ROH (2019), written by Emir Ezwan, Amir Hafizi and Nazri Vovinski, the film is directed by Emir Ezwan.  In a secluded hut deep within the Malaysian forest, a single mother and her two children's isolated life is shattered when they encounter a strange, mute little girl covered in mud. The girl repays their kindness with a grim prophecy: the family will all be dead by the next full moon, an omen that is confirmed when she ritually slits her own throat. As the curse begins to unfold, escalating into death and paranoia, the family must contend with a wandering hunter and a seemingly helpful old woman, unsure who is truly a harbinger of the evil force that has targeted their souls.  The film clocks in at 1 h and 23 m, is unrated R and we caught the film on the Hoopla app, but watch the film on Plex, Roku Channel, Tubi and to buy/rent on Prime Video.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.#SupportYourLocalLibrary  @hoopladigital#ROH #EmirEzwan #AmirHafizi #NazriVovinski   #FarahAhmad #Mak #MhiaFarhana #Along #HarithHaziq #Angah #JuneLojong #Tok #Namron #Pemburu #PutriQaseh #Adik #FolkHorror #Drama #Horror #Mystery  @hoopladigital  @plex  @RokuUS  @Tubi  @PrimeVideo ⁠⁠ #31DaysToHalloween #SpookySeason #Day21  #FridayFamilyFilmNight And in #SpookySeason don't forget to use your powers for good - support our friend KT as she raises funds for the good folks at St. Jude's - any little bit helps and is whole heartedly appreciated by the families who rely on St. Jude's@stjudehttps://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR?px=8932826&fr_id=133399&pg=personalOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

Listen in as your host Just Nate and Greg talk with Dr. Matt Hortt about the amazing Library located in Greeley, CO. The Evolution of Libraries and the Link Facility: Dr. Hortt discusses the massive evolution of libraries over the past 25 years, moving away from things like stamped due date cards and VHS/DVDs towards online streaming services and specialized community resources. The new facility, located in Greeley, is called Link (Library and Innovation Center) and encompasses a massive 63,000 square feet. The design for Link was driven by community input that highlighted the need for skills-based development. Key Offerings and Resources: The Link facility combines many resources often found separately in other libraries into one space, including a recording studio, interactive children's areas, and a wood shop. Key features and services mentioned include:Meeting Spaces: The library offers various meeting spaces, including a boardroom (set up for streaming and public use), smaller 2-3 person spaces, and a flexible events center that can hold approximately 300 people.• Cost: All meeting spaces and core library services are free to the public, treated as prepaid services via tax dollars.• Media and Digital Access: The library still carries books (fiction, children's, graphic novels) but relies heavily on digital resources via apps like Hoopla, Libby, and Overdrive for streaming music, movies, audiobooks, and ebooks. Anyone living in the state of Colorado can obtain a library card.• Specialty Checkouts: Patrons can check out specialty items such as laptops, wireless hotspots, and state park passes (allowing free entry into state parks).• Maker Space: The maker space is industrial-grade, featuring equipment like laser cutters, 3D printers, UV printers (capable of printing on items like golf balls), and a sublimation machine. Staff with industry experience are available to teach classes and assist the public with projects.• Certifications: The library is launching a partnership with Snap-on tools (through NC3) to provide hands-on certifications to patrons related to tools and industrial skills.Operational Context and Challenges: The High Plains Library District is a government entity (a special taxing district) funded by property taxes (mill levy), supported by a strong tax base from gas and oil production in Weld County. Although they are exploring using an unstaffed model to become 24/7, they are not currently open around the clock. Dr. Hortt noted that the biggest current challenge is determining the library's next focus based on competing community ideas, securing continued government funding, and overcoming the lack of public awareness regarding the modern capabilities the library offers.To go to the Library, you can drive to 501 8th Ave, Greeley, COTo find out more about the Smalls or become a member, please check us out at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thesmalls.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To contact Just Nate:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠justnate@thesmalls.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠—  Send in a voice message: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/thesmalls/message⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support this podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/thesmalls/support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/thesmalls⁠⁠⁠⁠

In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS (2003), from the book by Michele Alexander and Jeannie Long; screenplay credits to Kristen Buckley, Brian Regan and Burr Steers, the film is directed by Donald Petrie.  The film is a romantic comedy about a women's magazine columnist, Andie (Kate Hudson), who must write an article detailing how to get a man to break up with you in ten days. Unbeknownst to her, the man she chooses, Ben (Matthew McConaughey), an advertising executive who has made a high-stakes bet that he can make any woman fall in love with him in the same amount of time. Both try to manipulate the other to win their respective bets, but they soon find themselves genuinely falling for each other.  The film clocks in at 1 h and 56 m, is rated PG-13 and we watched it on the @Hoopla app but streaming on various platforms and to rent/buy on Prime Video.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.#SupportYourLocalLibrary ⁠ ⁨@hoopladigital⁩ ⁠ #HowToLoseAGuyIn10Days #MicheleAlexander #JeannieLong #KristenBuckley #BrianRegan #BurrSteers #DonaldPetrie #KateHudson #Anndie #MatthewMcConaughey #KathrynHahn #Michelle #AnnieParisse #Jeannie #AdamGoldberg #Tony #ThomasLennon #Thayer #MichaelMichele #Spears #ShalomHarlow #Green #RobertKlein #Phillip #BebeNeuwirth #Lana#SamanthaQuan #Lori #JustinPeroff #Mike #CeliaWeston #Glenda #JamesMurtaugh #Jack #Comedy #RomanticComedy #FeelGoodRomance #Romance  @HooplaDigital  @PrimeVideo  #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

Hey there Lovelies and welcome back for the 368th episode of Final Girls Horrorcast! Today we'll be discussing ‘Alligator' from 19080 which is streaming on Prime, Fubo, Peacock, Shudder, TubiTV, & RokuTV.   Trailer Trashtalk: ‘The Long Walk' (September 12th, 2025)   Next Week - Join us next week as we continue to tread water during Aquatic Horror month with ‘Cruel Jaws' streaming on Prime, Phil, Hoopla, TubiTV, & Pluto.

It's Die Hard in a war zone!This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK…it's war! Not just on screen, but also between Phil and Liam, have very different opinions about this divisive film!During a disastrous mission in Somalia, a group of U.S. soldiers find themselves besieged by scores of enemy militia in the city of Mogadishu, a situation that is compounded when not one but two Black Hawk helicopters crash in the middle of the war zone. With the situation worsening by the minute, inexperienced Staff Sgt Matt Eversman (Josh Hartnett) must use all his skills and determination to bring his men home, save the pilots, and honor the Army Ranger credo: ‘No Man Left Behind'. As our hosts debate the relative merits and demerits of this undeniably powerful picture, the conversation also widens into a larger discussion of whether any film can legitimately be an anti-war movie or whether all war films are inherently propagandistic on some level. The boys also discuss some of their own brushes with military personnel and how that informed their views about this film…and Phil even recounts his own experience of flying in a Black Hawk! As always, events culminate with the Die Hard Oscars and the Double Jeopardy trivia quiz. Helo heads rise up! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GfBkC3qs78At the time of release, BLACK HAWK DOWN is available to stream on Netflix, Hoopla and Kanopy and is available rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV/iTunes, YouTube, Fandango and all the usual platforms, as well as on physical media!Click here to subscribe to our Patreon feed 48 HOURS OF BUDDY MOVIES!www.patreon.com/48hoursofbuddymovies Hosted on Acast.

Katherine's Telling Everybody Everything about Violet's upcoming prom and wondering why the 16 year olds themselves cannot be responsible for knowing so much as THE TIME AND DATE when Katherine herself literally hired security, crafted decorations, booked a DJ, did budgeting and made all the decorations for her own in 1999. It looks like she's back on the mum's group chat for three more weeks. (The mums are lovely lol). Bobby's got a yucky man in the family who's been predictably pathetic and his children are reaching out to express their disgust. Plus, Katherine is bummed not to have been able to attend another Mighty Hoopla festival in Brixton. It's homophobic at this point and she won't take it anymore. Also, Katherine's recent interest in facelifts makes sense as she embarks upon a fat girl summer. x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
