Alex and Brandon are flying solo this week (Cruz couldn’t make it), but that doesn’t stop Nostalgia Junkies from diving headfirst into spooky season! In this Halloween-packed episode, the guys explore a wild fan theory connecting Mary Poppins and Pennywise the Dancing Clown — could these two magical icons actually be the same species? From shared powers and patterns to children named Georgie and floating balloons, this Film Theory segment will blow your mind faster than you can say “practically perfect.”
Then it’s time for a THIS OR THAT! The hosts go head-to-head on nostalgic Halloween matchups:
🎃 Goosebumps vs. Are You Afraid of the Dark? (56/44)
👻 The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown vs. Simpsons Treehouse of Horror (53/47)
💀 Blow Molds vs. Inflatables (75/25)
In this week’s Meat & Potatoes, Alex and Brandon reminisce about their favorite Halloween promotional snacks — from Ghoulaid and Ecto Cooler to Pitch Black Mountain Dew, Cap’n Crunch Halloween Crunch, and the iconic McDonald’s Boo Buckets! The nostalgia is overflowing (and so is the sugar).
Stick around for a round of 90s trivia to cap off this hilarious, memory-filled Halloween special!
