This week Wes and co-host Chad Harlan dust off their ad lib skills in a totally improvised episode full of random interesting facts and tomfoolery. They discuss the huge number of entries in this year’s Film Festival, Tik Tok yoga, and some of the latest television shows that are currently on their watchlists. Plus, will Wes become a marathon running vegetarian? Watch and find out.

In our regular features, we get three new celebrity announcements, including some familiar faces, and Joe Lewis reviews the Hulu horror/thriller HUNTER HUNTER, starring Devon Sawa and Nick Stahl.

 

The time is upon us again as the all-knowing, all-powerful Council meets once more to discuss all things Scarefest, and maybe even a few other things in between. How much coolness can one show handle?

Wes, Brandon, and Adrienne spill the beans about limits on VIP tickets, electric bras, and the benefits of moving the film festival back to the convention center. Plus, they also field some questions from the chatroom. Bonus game: try to figure out where Adrienne is visiting this week (hint: there are lots of bears).

In our regular features, there are two groovy celebrity announcements and Joe Lewis gives his insight on the Netflix television series WEDNESDAY. It’s spooky and altogether ooky.

 

This week Wes is joined by co-host Katie Followell as they explore deep into the mind of fear and wax poetically about the nature of terror. Wait, scratch that. Just kidding. It’s not that kind of show this week.

Wes and Katie do give two big names coming to Scarefest (hint: they both are tied to HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES) as well as talk about Katie’s visit to a food convention and Lexington Comic Con, generational childhood heroes, and where the saying “eating crow” originates. Plus, can anyone beat Wes’ blood pressure record? You may not want to.

Speaking of eating crow, Joe Lewis critiques M. Night Shyamalan’s KNOCK AT THE CABIN. Based on his love/hate relationship with M. Night’s films, Joe really doubles down on this one.

 

Say it’s not so. Yes, tonight we discuss Wes’ near-death experience as the enigmatic Council meets after an extra week off due to poor weather. It’s all here. Nitro glycerin, defibrillator bras, and smoking cessation.

Wes shares his advice on recognizing blood pressure and thyroid issues, the trials of wearing a CPAP while having a beard, his steps toward living healthier, and the importance of being your own advocate in medical situations. Sneaking into the conversation are a few new, exciting celebrity announcements and the question of who has the most attractive ER nurses.

Plus, Joe Lewis offers his take on the critically acclaimed AI killer doll movie M3GAN. Sure, it’s beautifully made but does it live up to the hype? Joe knows and Joe tells.

 

In the candy world, tonight’s episode would be considered bite sized. Yes, this week may be a little shorter than the average show but, as the saying goes, size doesn’t matter because it’s still packed with all that Scarefest goodness.

Wes and fellow Council member Adrienne Elder break into a discussion on current television shows and movies as well as make a few new celebrity announcements that include a DAY OF THE DEAD star and a certain infamous cocaine bear. Plus, we get a peek at Adrienne’s mystery gift. The episode may be short but it’s sweet.

 

Has the cosmic axis swung to total coolness again already? Yep, that’s right, it’s time for another action-packed episode with the all-powerful Council. Adrienne couldn’t join in on the fun but never fear, Nicole Griffin sits in to round out this evening’s (un)holy trinity.

The Council gives us some insight on how they try to create events not seen at other conferences, some events that might be on the chopping block, and why there hasn’t been a ghost hunt lined up.  Plus, we get a new guest announcement and briefly discuss the greasy Batman. What is greasy Batman you ask? Tune in to find out.

And let’s not forget about Joe Lewis. Tonight, he shares a throwback review of 1990’s I COME IN PEACE (aka DARK ANGEL) showing on streaming platform Tubi.

 

It’s the beginning of the New Year and we all know what that means. It’s time for the annual visit from John and Stacey Edwards and their summary of the oddest news stories of the past year. This is a show you do not want to miss.

Wes, John, and Stacey discuss the top 10 weirdest stories including a lethal VR headset, a ghostly patient in Argentina, and a ceremonial sacrifice gone wrong. We also get some archaic website talk and ponder the question of whether you can ride a drunk horse or not. Plus, Wes introduces a new segment to the show where Scarefest attendees can submit their own short Best of Scarefest videos. See more of John and Stacey at TODAY IS STRANGE on YouTube.

In our regular segments Joe Lewis gives a double dose of his trademark movie wisdom as he reviews two films, 2017’s THE EVIL WITHIN and 2009’s AFTER.LIFE, starring Liam Neeson and Christina Ricci
