Zero-Sum Ick Game (TOS S2E1) Nov 06, 2026

Show notes

When Spock starts going crazy and demands his leave on Vulcan, a facetime with T’Pring puts his horny situation on main. But after things get messy at the koon-ut-kal-if-fee ritual, Kirk‘s fake death is enough to free Spock from the drama. What’s the limiting factor for more soup on the wall? Who should also receive sympathy during a whipping? Which cosplay is woefully underutilized at STLV? It’s the episode that probably owes royalties.

When a ghostly force is terrorizing the town of Fairwater, a traumatized con man starts using his paranormal abilities to investigate. But after an FBI agent with an unfortunate haircut shows up, the ghost of a serial murderer past is finally brought to justice. What’s the primary issue with owning a mansion? How is holy water like a nasal irrigator? Whose murder would be very inconvenient? It’s the episode that’s punching through the envelope.

When Dr. Tillinghast proves his boss’s theory, their experiment results in a gruesome murder. But after Pretorius comes back from another dimension, their overnight stay turns into a nightmare. How does one keep professional opportunities open in LA? What's a sure sign of a sexual militia? Where should a dungeon be located in a house? It’s the episode that’s both serious and unserious.

Bonus Preview: Head n’ Feeled (Film Fest: Halloween 1978 with Chuck Bryant) Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

When Dr. Loomis fumbles a high stakes mental patient transfer, he’ll go on as many laid back strolls as it will take to hunt down the escapee. But when Michael Myers starts having a little too much fun, it’ll lead Loomis right to him. Is hair combing a post or pre-coitus activity? When’s the last time you saw a raccoon? How many lunatics can you fit in a station wagon? It’s the episode that’s 90 minutes long but only lasts a minute and fifteen seconds.

But after a special pendant implicates Doctor Mordrid in a murder investigation, his lady neighbor breaks him out of police custody just in time to save humanity from Kabal’s evil plan.

Too Much Teeth (Film Fest: Castle Freak 1995) Oct 09, 2026

Show notes

When John Reilly brings his wife and daughter to Italy to take possession of a distant relative’s castle, it all seems a little too good to be true. But when John’s personal demons become more and more apparent, it’s clear that those aren’t the only monsters he’ll have to wrestle with. What’s the best way to get around the MPA? How do you make your dungeon ADA accessible? Which part of the cat should get eaten last? It’s the episode that opts for the shovel again.

When Dr. West transfers medical schools, he finds himself entrenched in some pretty significant disagreements with the faculty there. But after his roommate gets his student loans revoked and his professor dies, their desperation has them pushing past the side effects of their research. Can we not be weird about boobs? What are acceptable expectations to have for a quiet roommate? Should we take an anatomy class? It’s the episode that wears out the RSVP drops!

Who got personally thanked for “making the world such an awesome place to be”? Which possible time traveller may have just forgotten all the details? What color is this hole actually? It’s the episode that only has one person following the temporal prime directive.

But after a couple of fairytale characters try to take over the iron dragon, La’an reunites her light and dark selves and the evil queen gets beamed straight to the brig. What’s the most well-established plot device in Star Trek? How do you know a mask is insufficient? Who is real in the Elysian Kingdom? It’s the episode that finally comes full circle on season 4.
