So welcome to a very special episode of Meteoroutes Radio.

0:28.6

This is our, now I believe, only our second Halloween episode.

0:35.5

I mean, we've done other episodes on Halloween, but this one is probably only the second

0:41.2

one we've done that's like properly Halloween themed. The previous one was with Eric Jackman,

0:49.0

where we discussed the phantasm quadrilogy. It's, i guess it could be technically called the quintilogy

0:57.7
