Throw on your hautest couture and grab your Multi Pass, as we dive into the sci-fi ingenuity and unavoidable ickiness of Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element. Can we get some more backstory on those steampunk armadillo-ducks? Does Ruby Rhod’s hair tube get in the way when he goes down on someone? How was the opera diva planning on getting those stones out of her body? And does Gary Oldman realize he won’t get paid when the whole planet goes big bada boom? We might have some answers for you if we didn’t get so sidetracked in this episode. 

Pick up your proton packs and watch out for that moody slime, it’s time to get the band back together for the campy cash grab that is Ghostbusters II. Who else has a soft spot for sequels? Was there no such thing as workplace harassment training in 1989? (No need to answer that, we know there wasn’t.) Is there any scene that Peter MacNicol does not steal? (No need to answer that one either.) How did everyone forget that the city was attacked by a giant supernatural marshmallow man five years before this? The only thing we make sure you know in this ep is that we’re all New Yorkers.

Cook up some fava beans and uncork your nicest chianti, as we find out where our early fascination with gruesome murders likely comes from, with Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins (or should we say HOTkins?) in Jonathan Demme’s The Silence of the Lambs. How much direct eye contact can an audience withstand? Did anyone else watch the TV spinoff Clarice? And why would fashion conscious Hannibal Lecter be caught dead in that frumpy linen suit and floppy hair? We might have some answers for you if we didn’t spend most of this ep talking about serial killers. 

Swap on your witchiest head and take a long swig of nightmare juice, as we re-traumatize our tender psyches with Disney’s Return to Oz. Why were the 80s so messed up? How much of this movie have we all repressed? Where can we find our own sassy talking chicken? And who doesn’t like a nice mutton sleeve? This is a fittingly haunted—at least psychologically—episode to get you in an Octobery mood.

Pour on that glitter and stuff those jodhpurs, as we fall back into the Goblin Kingdom with Jim Henson’s Labyrinth. How much of our generation had their sexual awakening watching David Bowie? Where did Jennifer Connelly so effectively learn about stranger danger? Should we let go of childish things, or just up the production value? And what the f**k is an oubliette? This is the first episode we recorded, so cut us some slack.
