THE BEST OF 2023 - PART 3

Here you go, boils and ghouls. It's the last part of our look back at some of my fave releases of last year. Along the way, I also nerded out about binging Star Trek: The Next Generation for the first time ever, as well as playing Miles Morales on the PS4. I could honestly do 3 more parts of these, but it has to end sometime, and I'm itching to play some of the fantastic new 2024 releases that have already dropped. So, we'll be jumping into that next week. Enjoy!

11/11/2023

This one was a fun one, because I skipped my usual process of planning the show out from beginning to end. Instead, in the first hour, I just winged it and used that time to throw on some of my favorite Batcave and other retro tracks. In the second hour, we worked in another set from the new compilation from Darkness Calling, 'Back from the Grave - Vol 2'. Finally, we honored a request with a short set of German artists, and I ended the show with a rant about how confusing Season 2 of Loki was. I still have no idea what the hell that was about!

THE 2023 RETRO HALLOWEEN SHOW!

This is it, ghosts and goblins! The one we build up to all year. Join us as we flip channels on our TV and radio for a montage of morning shows, news reports, commercials, interviews, late night Halloween specials, and of course, spooky tunes. All on Halloween night in 1980-something! I also gave my thoughts on The Exorcist: Believer and told the story of finally tracking down a collection of horror stories I've been trying to find since I was a kid. So turn down the lights, grab your favorite candy, and enjoy. Happy Halloween!
