The lads, and Mrs âFact Checkâ, head off on a foggy morning to check out the Burbank boulevard of horrors for Halloween. First they stop at Horror Vibes Coffee in NoHoâs art district for a Call of Cthul-Ube, a Candyman Latte and some awesome horror art.
After, they head to one of a kind Dark Delicacies, browse the Halloween Town store and cautiously wander into the Mystic Museum. Did they make it out alive? Of course they did⊠or did they?

The heat is on, and the lads take shelter inside to record an episode whilst trying out some new mics, resulting in double entendres and a few "ooh matron!" moments. Martin attempts to convince James to get healthy and give oat milk a go whilst sampling a delicious almond and pear tart from Lou's, the French on the Block. As usual, they discuss their latest viewings, the UK General Election, and Jamesâs post-infusion results. Splendid news: heâs still with us!

The Gents are utterly gobsmacked to discover that their trusty old British insults are as outdated as a dial-up. Desperate for a modern slagging-off upgrade, they resort to noshing on authentic French croissants and pondering which Hollywood flicks are worth their two cents. Amidst the banter, Martin finds himself "Swimming With the Sharks" over a certain actor's behaviour and subsequent acquittal. Meanwhile, James reminisces about his dramatic tale of narrowly dodging the 2011 UK riots, while gagging for pizza.

The chaps discuss the trials and successes of filming VFX whilst storyboarding at the same time. Tyler shares his battle to get his own animation project made. Navigating the treacherous waters of film financing whilst using Russian hackers to recover deleted data files from off-shore vendors. As the saying goes, the film industry is a tough mistress!

Itâs 2024 and the lads are back in front of the mics readying to celebrate the year of the wooden dragon! Alas, they have been challenged to eat a very spiky and extremely stinky and rather dangerous looking Asian fruit.
