Come and Play Episode 38: The Halloween Spooktacular

Episode 38 is our Halloween episode! We discuss our histories with this favorite holiday and trick-or-treat adventures along with spooky and spooky-adjacent films. We digress into conversations about movie soundtracks and how Bonnie Tyler goes so hard it’s amazing. To stay on brand, we head back to talking about all kinds of fancy dildos beyond the world of silicone. Finally, it’s time to talk about fanfiction and our own love of this oft-maligned genre. It’s a wild ride this week! Thanks for hopping aboard.
