Episode 165 - The Surprising Character Depth of Halloween (2018)

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to an episode that we've been waiting for since Justin and the Sauce got a chance to see David Gordon Green's Halloween at a very early screening. The entire episode this week is dedicated to the brand new film featuring some fantastic performances and surprising character depth coupled with some incredibly brutal kills and the ever-terrifying presence of The Shape. Yes, Michael Myers is back, and the guys are more than thrilled that he has returned this time around. Thank you all so much for listening!!!!
