We Loved The Rides But Hated Season Of The Witch

Send us Fan Mail The fastest way to learn what you value at a theme park is to watch an hour-long line crawl by while you’re standing still. We start with Hayden’s surprise birthday trip for his son to Universal Studios and Epic Universe, including why Express Pass is worth it, what it’s like trying to pack five days into a real family schedule, and the exact moment Nintendo Land hits that “my childhood is everywhere” feeling. We also talk crowds, weather, and the kind of Halloween season energy that makes you decide to leave the park before it gets weird.  Then we slam on the brakes and hit a brick wall with Halloween III Season of the Witch. We love the idea of Halloween as an anthology, but we can’t ignore the messy tone, the odd romance, and a plot that asks us to accept Stonehenge fragments on microchips delivered through a TV broadcast. We break down Silver Shamrock, the masks, the jingle, the robot reveals, and the ending choices that make you stare at the screen and ask, “So what was the plan here?”  We wrap with what we’ve been playing and what we think is happening to games and media: a disappointing Wolverine experience, the surprising fun of Mario Kart World’s open world, and a bigger debate about physical media, licensing, piracy, AI decompiling, and how copyright rules hit commentary creators trying to monetize on YouTube.
