Happy Halloween, dear listeners, and welcome to our annual Monster Mash special! This year we're trick or treating down Millennial Nostalgia Lane (or so I'm told by my fellow millennials) with The Monster Squad! Join Jas, River, Conor, Leif, and Sophie as we discuss why Phoebe is the real hero of this story, how the 80s sucked a lot more than John Hughes would have you believe, and why in the world Dracula needs dynamite.

The following podcast is for entertainment purposes only. The views and opinions expressed therein belong solely to the speakers.
