The October Boys V: no edits, no escape
From Cinematic Oblivion by Nick and Harry Nordlinger

About this episode
The episode explores various cultural and personal reflections around Halloween, horror movies, and nostalgia for the early 2000s.
Where is that sinister, beautiful, liminal hospital of which I endlessly dream? Where can I get a can of frozen apple juice concentrate in this day and age? When will I stop getting election texts? Why won't the police stop ruining horror movies? And why did everyone in the early 2000s think they'd reached the peak of what CGI effects had to offer? Happy Halloween! I refuse to edit this one out of bitterness and haste.
