Nobody goes to the US box office, Hitchcock comes to Blu-ray, cult classics dominate Netflix, Matthew Vaughn abandons X-Men: Days of Future Past, Schwarzenegger returns to Conan, and our friend Steve quits Lindsay Lohan.

This week, our Halloween Canuckleheads -- Steve, Jon, Andrew, and Gabriel -- go toe-to-gangrenous-toe debating the good, bad, and ugly of zombie master George Romero.

Join Dave, Mac, Erich, and Daryl for a festive indulgence, providing commentary on The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Season One episode "Life's a Masquerade." You can play along by accessing the show through Netflix, Amazon Prime, or the Shout! Factory DVD release.

Patrick, JB, Doug, and Mike subject themselves to 24 hours of horror movies at the annual Chicago Massacre, changing venues from the Music Box to the historic Portage Theater. Did they survive the ordeal without irreparable harm or a need for psychotherapy? Listen in and find out! You can also check out their 8-minute video recap.

Join Dave and Dan, in yet another very special episode, as they come to bury Parks and Recreation, NBC's most schizophrenic sitcom. From Meat Tornadoes and Jean-Ralphio, to Tom/Ann and Leslie's run for higher office, the series showed flashes of brilliance but ultimately choked on its own inconsistency.

This week, Clark spotlights another batch of new and recent releases, offering selections from Lincoln, Paranorman, Looper, The Master, The Words, Seven Psychopaths, Anna Karenina, and Skyfall.

Scary movie month continues, as Patrick and B fire up their ancient analog equipment for a found footage anthology horror flick that uses VHS as its story conceit and a cadre of genre writer/directors to tell the tale.
