    Crispy Coated Robots #349 - Best Halloween Costumes in Movies/TV

    www.facebook.com/crispycoatedrobots Jason gets a 5 rating for this episode (more than we expected from him). Jason, Jim, and Joseph have fun creating a list of their favorite costumes worn by characters in television and movies. Joseph misses seeing Digger in the theaters (like everyone else in the county). Jason is baffled by the male nudity in You Can See Everything. Jim mentions his award-winning costumes for this year: The Wizard of Oz and Bandit or Randy (the cowboy from the Village People). Jim is almost as irritated with Jason for thinking that Halloween 3 was in 3-D as Rob Zombie was irritated with Jim for thinking it was a good movie. Donald Trumbo was blacklisted for writing in the tub. My AI confirms that your AI is correct. Oh, it's Halloween. How fortunate. What are the three kid costumes in Halloween 3?
