Dealt with the worst virus/head cold the past week but I made time to record another delightful episode featuring a long overdue return stint from a great Chicago film critic.

A brand-new music spin-off version of Director's Club, only this time, it's all about music co-hosted with my intelligent, talented fiancée Sharon.

Happy Halloween! Sorry this showed up late, but hey, it did turn up at 6:06 which is close enough to 666. Stay to the end to hear a special guest cameo you won't want to miss!

Catching up with titles I've been meaning to sit down and write about including a couple of documentaries and reviews of Mental Filmness titles as it begins to wrap-up for 2025.
Episode 240: Mike Flanagan (feat. Chloe Waryan)

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) (dir. Tobe Hooper)
The portrayal of a true American nightmare as well as my favorite horror film of all time.
