The Ghouls are joined by guest Pascale of Liberty Resources to talk about how people with disabilities have been treated in horror. I think you can see there's a trend in that the answer has been not very well. We talk films Hush and A Quiet Place to discuss the right and wrong way to portray deafness on screen.
The ghouls have a special episode featuring guests Marina and Pascale, tackling the film Midsommar and the many ways in which it let us down, specifically involving the many marginalized communities it abuses for its subpar plot. For more on why you should also be more critical of the media you indulge in - tune in!
JD is not excited about Spiderman's return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Len is un-wowed by Matt Smith's Doctor Who but loves Amy (kinda) and River (really), and Brandon is around for the ride to Elseworlds and beyond.
The #BlackTribbles learn all about the world of #OVERWATCH and the Overwatch League from RICHARD NG @NYXL_Venoms @alphaflight_TO who gives us the lowdown on the online video game community sensation.
We take a look at overrated and underrated Comic Book runs like Saga and Batman (which is which?) and turn a hypercritical eye at the Titans second season. Listener mail, guests in the store - this one has it all + more Brandon.
The Tribbles discuss new merch for the Nation, answer a curious Star Trek rant from a fan, introduce 2 new features and take a trip along the fanciful mystical cobblestone streets of Amazon Prime's CARNIVAL ROW.
Have you ever thought about what your dream home would look like? What if you built it from scratch? Is it even a home? Maybe you're all about that #tinyhome life or #vanlife. Join us as we explore the world of ecological living in the modern age.

What's the origin of Han Solo? Casper the Friendly Ghost? Do you REALLY want to know? Listener mail + reviews of Young Justice and Titans.
Ghouls are talking representation and this week we're talking to our friend and Kat's co-worker, Marina about how mental illness is shown in horror. History has been unkind to the mental illness community but we have had some victories. We talk about a win, the film Babadook which has done a great job of this!
The Black Tribbles spend the evening answering viewer emails and probing questions to hilarious and enlightening degrees.
JD and Len welcome back Randy aka R-Son the SuperTribble as they talk with photographer/author KRISTEN KIDD about her new coffee table book about Women and the canines in their life, Women's Best Friend. And Brandon goes completely off the rails…or is it Len's fault?

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
