Ep48 - Spooky Season Special 2022, Part BOO!! (Two)

Special Spooky Compilation Edition! A whole slew of feature creatures volunteered for this episode, in which our guests each pick a spooky movie that means a lot to them! In endearingly spooky self-interviews, each guest asks themselves: What makes a good "Halloween movie"? Do you get scared during scary movies? And what's so special about the spooky movie you (me) wanna talk about? 
I want to thank the wonderful guests who submitted interviews for this fun community episode:
Jenn Owens from My Streaming Bubble (Movie: Nightmare on Elm Street)
Skylar from Kawaii Desuppointment (Movie: Scream)
Johnny from Flores Podcast Consulting (Movie: American Werewolf in London)
Cake from Nymphomercial (Movie: Noroi the Curse)
Joe Shannon from Phantom Jukebox (Movie: Tucker & Dale vs. Evil)
Amber from Witches Talking Tarot (Movie: Trick r' Treat)
Tim Nunez from friendship (Movie: It Follows)
Ernie from From Under the Apron (Movie: Nightmare on Elm Street) 
Ty Lindsay from Phantom Jukebox (Movie: The Thing)
Follow everyone everywhere (all at once)! I loved hearing these fine folks' thoughts and feelings on these movies and why they're special - and spooky - to them. Thanks everyone, and thank YOU, listeners, and readers of these here words.MUSIC: "Adult Problems" by Richard and the Julians Copyright Richard and the Julians 2015.

Comedian, writer, and cool T-shirt owner Diana Hong takes us down the nostalgia tunnel with a wholesome nineties CLASSIC. Diana was handpicked from Mixtape's timeline after we saw her hilarious stand-up clip about the featured movie in this episode. This episode has got lots of laughs, reminiscings, tales from the 90's, mental health, and of course, GOOFS. Grab a Capri Sun and pull up a beanbag, it's time to follow the open road to Lake Destiny... AKA, Popcorntown. (I just mean this podcast. Listen to it. Ok bye.)

FEATURED FILM: Corrina Corrina (1994). OTHER FILMS DISCUSSED:  Finding Nemo (2003), Dazed and Confused (1993), Matilda (1996), and Superbad (2007).
Wonderful comedian Becky Lynn takes us on a delightful dive into the 90’s to look at two hotties (Whoopi Goldberg and Ray Liotta) finding joy during a time of grief, in Corrina, Corrina! In this episode we learn about Becky’s deep history with Junior Mints, the best movies to take camping (2 for the adults, 2 for the kids), what kind of jokes we would love to see disappear from kids movies, why it's ok to show some freakin' joy onscreen rather than tragedy, and we wax poetic (e.g. “omg omg”) about how hot Whoopi and Ray are. Like. Omg. Special Surprise Bonus Co-Host: Becky's Apple watch.
Enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it, and check out Becky’s website at ohthatsbecky.com!
