Poor George. He's never seen any movies. Rather than mourn their dear friend, Travis and Dan have taken it upon themselves to show him what he is missing. But they don't stop at showing him famous movies! They also help George to understand how each film fits into the Great Narrative of Film. Not only THAT the film of the week is significant, but WHY and HOW. Also, they make jokes and stuff.

We made sure to get John Carpenter's (tepid, let's not kid ourselves) blessing to reformulate The Fog into a quasi-Halloween 2 position to begin a WILD horror anthology to conclude with Halloween 3 next week. No really, we did! It is on our YouTube page!
It has been a while since George went "Full George" on us but he picked a heck of a time to do it. The Fog is John Carpenter's theatrical follow-up to Halloween (1978.) But what if the over-sequelization of the 1980s never occurred. (Thanks Friday the 13th Part 2 for kicking that trend into high gear!) What if John Carpenter hadn't been made to make Halloween 2 featuring Michael Myers and instead he simply left The Fog as the follow-up to Halloween in a sort of Horror Anthology from the Master of Horror himself?
Has Travis accidentally let us in on his secret crush on Edith Bunker? Why does George know so much about the physics and behavior of literal fog? Was Dan able to convince Travis and George that we should just go ahead and replace Halloween 2 with Halloween 2: The Fog?
