There's a reason we're supposed to be afraid of this night. This week PJ and Derek are joined by special guest Bug as they revisit Haddonfield to dissect David Gordon Green’s Halloween (2018). In this episode, they explore how this film reimagines Laurie Strode not as a victim, but as a survivor shaped by trauma, its bold retconning of the franchise mythology, and the return of Michael Myers as a shape of pure evil. 📺

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
