This week we welcome our special guest James Katz. James is the former President and Founder of the Universal Pictures Classics Division. He has worked in many different areas over the years, including film distribution, publicity, marketing and working as a producer and as executive producer on several films. But more then anything James has made a monumental impact on film history through his preservation and re-release of five Alfred Hitchcock’s films in the early 1980s.
This week we settle in for our annual Halloween party... and this time it's at a house that has actually been exorcised!! So listen as well tell scary stories about demons and marriage and Tom Cruise. (Those may or may not all be the same story.) Then grab some candy and join us as we discuss this creepy holiday edition of Sofa Theater with an in-depth discussion of "Tales of Halloween".
This week we are coming to you "live" from ScareFest as we discuss October fun, seasonal foods and lame childhood memories.

This week we continue with our Super Series exclusively for our Meltdown Club members, as we discuss Logan - the grim finale to the Wolverine story arc.

Plus we examine our thoughts on The Defenders and our first impressions of the new version of The Tick.
This week we are coming to you "live" from Fandomfest as we sit down with our special guest... Sean Gunn! These days he's playing Kraglin, as well as the on-set Rocket Raccoon, in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, but we also discuss growing up in his family full of (these days) writers and performers.
