On the first episode of Movie Listings, I dive into the world and movie releases of June 8, 1984. VHS tapes are expensive, Reagan sucks, Billy Crystal's joining SNL, and America loves corny music while Ghostbusters, Gremlins, and Beat Street hit theaters to join Tarzan and Rock & Roll movies.

Just in time for Halloween 2022, we're drinking orange things and talking about scary movies to watch in the dark. Ellen tells Robert the story of Lights Out, which is about some lights being out and then plus also a scary thing. Robert tells Ellen the story of some ladies going into a cave. Except we're telling the stories backwards! So it's more like Lights On and The Ascent, huh?

Tis the season...for scary stuff! Rob's recapping the original Halloween, which is a real fun tense atmospheric time. Ellen's recapping A Nightmare on Elm Street, which is cool and also maybe not a full story, right?
