  • ā€œTuskā€ is hot trash.

    This is a great podcast and I enjoy each and every episode.

    I do however have to state how absolutely terrible ā€œTuskā€ the movie is, it’s hot trash soaked in warm sick and sprinkled with disease. The movie should be removed from circulation and never shown to another human ever again.

    Great podcast btw and look forward to future episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EPISODE 221 - LA HAUNTED HAYRIDE & SIX FLAGS FRIGHT FEST 2026 REVIEW with Special Guest Gregg of Park Journey
Q: What impressed us? What could use some improvement? And most importantly, are these Halloween events worth adding to your spooky season plans?
They praise the events' atmosphere, performers, selected mazes, and entertainment, while noting weaknesses such as repetitive maze designs, uneven sightlines, and operational problems. They consider both events worth visiting and urge listeners to judge them for themselves.
EPISODE 217 - KNOTT'S SCARY FARM NIGHTMARES REVEALED, MIDSUMMER SCREAM 2026 & HHN HOLLYWOOD
Q: How does Carnival get reimagined this year, and who are the new key figures involved?
Carnival shifts from a fun, silly zone to a meaner, more horror-focused environment led by Mesmer, who has integrated a new sideshow and a new queen of clowns called the Clownmaker, bringing a darker aesthetic and more menacing energy to the scare zone.
EPISODE 217 - KNOTT'S SCARY FARM NIGHTMARES REVEALED, MIDSUMMER SCREAM 2026 & HHN HOLLYWOOD
Q: What are the two new mazes announced for Knott's Scary Farm 2026 and what makes Inked stand out?
Inked is a black-and-white, 1930s animation-inspired maze where Mortimer Morbid bleeds ink to bring his cartoons to life; its standout is the high level of animation-driven set pieces and the goal of keeping it scary while delivering a cartoon aesthetic.
BONUS EPISODE - MIDSUMMER SCREAM 2025 SNEAK PEEK with Special Guest RICK WEST
Q: What are you most excited for this year?
Rick expresses excitement about meeting Henry Winkler, having Mike Aiello back, and showcasing the largest entryway experience in Midsummer history, as well as the various new attractions in the Hall of Shadows.
BONUS EPISODE - MIDSUMMER SCREAM 2025 SNEAK PEEK with Special Guest RICK WEST
Q: When Midsummer Scream ends the year prior, what does that process look like picking up the work boots again and jumping back into it?
Rick explains that the process starts well before and takes about 18 months for one of the shows to come to fruition, with ongoing discussions about future events even before the current one takes place.
