It's night two of Movie-Ghoul-Round 2020 and we have modified our Netflix/Amazon Roulette randomizer a bit to include only horror movies. It sent us off to watch Lake Placid. Although more of a comedy with a scary premise, there's an argument to be made that the scriptwriting alone is horrifying enough to qualify it for the genre. Are there enjoyable elements here? Does the croc look good? Can Oliver Platt and Brendan Gleeson save the day? And how big was the paycheck to get Betty White to swear so much? Connect with your hosts!

It's time for the annual Movie-Ghoul-Round! For our third go-around of this tradition, we'll be hosting a 5-night marathon of episodes leading up to Halloween night. To kick it off, David brought 1988's Pumpkinhead as his pick for New to Two. While it's not one of the "big" horror movies of the '80s, it's become more respected over time; we dig into why with the gusto of an angry man digging up a demon. Is it Lance Henriksen's performance? The practical monster effects? All the "teenagers" getting picked up by the head? Have a listen and let us know! Connect with your hosts!

In this Movie-Go-Round New to Two, chosen by David, we watched our most recent movie to date: Toy Story 4. Brett hadn't been able to fit it in his schedule, and Nicole thought it would be impossible to add on to the neat bow of Toy Story 3. We asked ourselves: What themes do you explore after you've tackled death? Does it matter what the story is when the animation is this stunning? Who was the genius who did the casting? And most important, why is Andy's RC racecar sentient, when Bo Peep's RC skunk is not? Connect with your hosts!

In this Movie-Go-Round You Did This to Us, you chose The Hobbit for us to watch. But no one specified the Peter Jackson movie, so we thought we'd pull a fast one and watch this animated film from 1977! ...It was not a fast one. It was a very, very slow one. Although Nicole, Brett, and David enjoyed a few things, like a compelling riddle game with Gollum, and found some other things to talk about, we pretty much did this one to ourselves.
