It's time for the great Spookytober Celebration! For your own safety, listen with the lights on.

Week in Geek: Andrew plays the ludomodular board game, 504, while Dan wraps up Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

Cthulhu Called, No One's Home: In the interest of Spookytober, Dan and Andrew return to famed horror writer, H.P. Lovecraft, and one of his most revered (and culturally important) stories, "The Call of Cthulhu," as well as discuss the really fun silent film version made by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society.

The Horror Returns: Andrew and Dan discuss what is likely the scariest of all horror movies: the not-very-good-but-hey-at-least-they-tried-something-different sequel! WARNING: contains discussion of Halloween III: Season of the Witch.

The Doctor is IN: In light of the news that David Tennant would be returning to the role of the Doctor in audio form with Big Finish, Dan and Andrew discuss the interesting implications.

Next Week: THE END! Video game endings, that is. Good ones, bad ones, weird ones, lack-of-ones. Endings are all over the place and, with games especially, carry a lot of emotional and narrative baggage with them so that it's nearly impossibly to please everybody.

Spookytober is halted, briefly and partially, to address the time-traveling elephant in the room: October 21, 2015! Er, I mean, Back to the Future Day!

Week in Geek: Andrew got a Playstation 4 and played Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and shot a lot of dudes while Dan saw Crimson Peak.

BttFP2: To introduce Back to the Future Day, Dan and Andrew spend some time to talk about the overall legacy of Back to the Future, Part II.

Predicting the Future: Andrew and Dan, in honor of the moment, spend some time talking about science-fiction predicting not only the far future, but the near future and what that tells us about...us.

Dead By Dawn: Because it's Spookytober, Dan and Andrew discuss the first two films of the venerated Evil Dead franchise because, basically, they're the same movie told through two very different lenses. And that's weird.

Next week we bring Spookytober to a close, so tune in for scary stuff, no doubt.

Spookytober kicks off with Episode 68! Grab your grimoire and your notebook and let's find some demons to fight!

Week in Geek: In a twist, Dan talks about Transformers plans with "Titans Return" while Andrew plays Super Meat Boy.

Feel the Hurt: It was announced that acclaimed actor, John Hurt, would be reprising his role as The War Doctor from his appearance on Doctor Who in licensed Big Finish audio dramas. While Andrew and Dan talk about how cool this idea is itself, they also ponder what this could mean for the future of Big Finish Audio.

Paranormal Investigation: Dan and Andrew dig into the implications, origins, and general coolness that is paranormal/supernatural investigative fiction.

The Last Laugh: It was recently made public that Warner Bros. is totally cool with the upcoming animated adaptation of the DC comics Batman/Joker story, The Killing Joke, being Rated R. What does this mean?!

Next week: Since the future has been foretold by the gospel of Back to the Future, Part II, we'll be talking about the reality versus the fiction of October 21, 2015.

Even though this show is about spoilers and how nerd culture responds to them, there are no spoilers in this episode whatsoever.

Week in Geek: Andrew played Breath of Fire IV and ponders the choices of this rather forgotten series while Dan started playing Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and wonders how the hell it even exists.

The Dimensions of Lego: Dan and Andrew discuss the recently released toy-to-life game, Lego Dimensions; one of them is rather excited about it, another is, um, not.

SPOILERS (no spoilers): Andrew and Dan disagree a lot as they wend their way through a discussion on spoiler culture, its origins, our reactions, and how studios use them as marketing tools.

RIP PS VITA: According to this Kotaku article, Sony honcho, Shuhei Yoshida, makes a bold argument as to why the PS Vita hasn't fared so well in the market––pointing fingers (some justified, some not) at everyone but Sony itself.

Geeking Forward: Next week we'll be discussion supernatural/paranormal investigative fiction and how rad it is––all in the name of introducing Scarytober!
