Halloween is almost here and we've got Dan, Abby, Bakalar, and Austin here to share in the spirit or SPIRITS of the season.
NOTE: Possibly some movie/TV spoilers in here, but I think you're fairly safe. I put the main one in the time markers.
Below is Abby's CLEARLY ASKING TO BE HAUNTED webcam shot t...
We're in it now: the fabled fourth quarter. Are there games to match the grand reputation of this time of year? How about Overwatch 2, Scorn, A Plague Tail: Requiem, Gotham Knights, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Bayonetta 3, and the Resident Evil Village DLC? Those are video games! Listen to us plan about them!

Listen to us plan about them!
This week, we did battle with the Overwatch 2 launch (and lost), got lost in the giant Grounded backyard, checked out the closed alpha of The Finals, said a preemptive goodbye to Stadia, stared in bafflement at anime Need for Speed, and took our very last opportunity to speculate about Chris Pratt's Mario voice.
This week, babysitting is happening, dogs are off the leash, celebrities are behaving badly (or just having a bad day), Martin Short squares off against Dudley Moore, and the fate of certain hard drives is in question. All that and more, rambled about!

Who goes there?!? Why, it's nobody but the cast of the Nextlander Watchcast, of course! We're just here to enjoy a genuine horror classic in John Carpenter's The Thing, and certainly not planning to absorb you, dear listener. We would never do that! Now sit back, relax, and enjoy a quality podcast about a quality fil...
2022-10-03 16:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings, Nextlanders! It's Alex here once again to give you the rundown on the upcoming Watchcast schedule for October. As this is legally recognized as the spooky month, we're putting Star Trek on hiatus until November to fully dig into some classic horror and horror-like films. Our theme for our very first spooky...

Here's your last chance to vote before the demons hold sway, so make it count! And as always, thanks for your support.

In the latest installment of this old rambling podcast, Vinny talks lovingly about good solid wood construction, Alex's desk sounds like it could kill a person, Brad gushes for far too long about how great Andor is (and how greatly weird George Lucas is), and more!

Dan Ryckert is in town with a few podcasts to kill, so he joins us once again to talk through our mostly uncomplicated feelings about this profoundly stupid sequel, 1990's Predator 2!
Happy Friday, everyone! October is fast approaching, and along with it our Halloween-themed slate of films. For our first spooky month since launching the Watchcast, we're gonna be watching a selection of films by one of my all-time favorite directors, The Horror Master himself John Carpenter! Four of those films have already...
