Bonus pre-show material from Episode 81! Hear what you’re missing by not joining us live every other Sunday at 8:30 PM Eastern at http://www.zapow.tv!

Did you know you can’t go to a Disney park in costume? Disneybounding is born! We wonder how big a hit Harry Potter and the Casual Vacancy is and whether it’s possible for celebrities to reinvent themselves.

Happy Halloween! We talk about our favorite Halloween memories, haunted houses that get hardcore, and how high you should be before NOT ordering a pizza. Also, Matthew McConaughey! Alright, alright, alright!

Janae guest hosts! We talk con “celebs” who blame cosplayers for low sales, World War II radar, plus Tolkien and the Beatles. Seriously.

Andrea and Jonathan from The Pasta Foundation join us to teach about His Noodly Appendage, Sarah Palin get’s an eyeful of zombie, and we all say “‘ello, guv’ nah!”

Seriously, why does Jimmy have blood on his hands? What’s this thing about porn for women? Which futuristic Back to the Future promises are coming true? Why did science fiction never envision women’s rights as a possible future?

Car2-D2 from the chat room joins in, Matt eats roasted seaweed and likes it way too much, a new steampunk cartoon is out to save 2D animation, and Renee tells us all about her pigeon boyfriends.

Were half of all Viking warriors really women? Should we be upset about the Spider-Woman variant cover? As usual, people on the internets are pretty much awful.

We talk Dragon Con, Dragon Con and then more Dragon Con. There might be a Monster Corner thrown in there somewhere.

FSS takes the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, we’re all SUPER excited for Dragon Con this weekend, Felicia Day gets a new haircut, and the Internet behaves…well, like the Internet.
