It's the most wonderful time of the year! October is here and with it comes Halloween and a staple series here at The Occasionalists, Fright Fest!

It's our sixth edition and because of that, we were left with no choice but to take a trip to hell and focus this Fright Fest on the Prince of Darkness himself, Satan!

The first full episode of Fright Fest 666: Satanic Panic is on its way, but in the meantime, how about a little teaser episode and a lightning round question:

What would you sell your soul to the Devil for?

What's that sound? That's just Smoke and The Big Freeze crashing your soundwaves with another hard-hitting edition of the number one rated sports podcast in all of the former Soviet Satellite Nations, Over The Line!

We are back with our third episode of Sports September, this time with none other than hockey correspondant Rob Nugent!

We combine two concepts for this episode: our blind sports episode where we don't know what subjects the other is going to bring up. Then we mix it with a little trivia challenge at the end.

Put your thinking rally caps on and join us to get more smarter!

Sports September rolls on as we review some short-form sports documentaries and give a few movie pitches for people and situations that would make excellent sports movies.

Is there a brief discussion about 10 Cent Beer Night? Yes!

What about oiled up Greek men? Also yes!

Sports September kicks off this week with a dive into some of the many reasons why sports are beloved by so many people, but especially the one person doing this podcast.

Lightning Round Question: Who was your first favorite athlete?

Our final stop of Back To School month takes us to our college years and the cult classic PCU from 1994. However, you would be forgiven if you thought this was a modern-day critique of the current culture wars.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

We have graduated from elementary school and are heading on to high school, with the review of The Substitute (1996).

It is a deeply flawed but fun action movie that will remind you of simpler times in the world of action movies when squibs, practical effects, and physical stunts were still in demand.

One tip for enjoying this movie: don't let the horrid messaging on the education system, teachers and the inner city get in the way.

We are back with our first of three big movie reviews for Back To School month.

Obviously, we have have to start at the elementary school with an entry that deals with younger kids. What better way to start off than with Damon Wayans barking insults at teenagers as Major Payne.

• Nearly 30 years later, does this movie still hold up? (Yes.)
• Is some of it problematic? (Maybe. Context is king!)
• Would I do anything Ms Walburn asked me to do? (Absolutely Yes.)
• Is this the most quotable movie of my childhood? (10000% Yes.)
