While the Bud's away Art, Kirsten & Pol will play but without time codes or decent cover art or any of the other stuff that Bud does to make this podcast semi-professional on a weekly basis. Lots of fun stuff to talk about though including Megalopolis more like Mega-FLOP-olis, Spirit Halloween haunting SNL Season 50, the Simpsons "Series" "Finale", Dame Maggie Smith and a Dracula named Nosfaratu.

Pol, Bud, and Art talk Thunderbolts, Squids, Gladiators, Batmen, and Asteriks. Erm, asterisks.
