TONIGHT AT 8PM CST ON TWITCH - A very special DM in the PM, DM @helloitshobert will be preparing for this year's @desksanddayjobs Halloween special with the Call of Cthulhu! . Call of Cthulhu is a skill-based rpg set in a darker version of our world based on H. P. Lovecraft's observation (from his essay, "Supernatural Horror in Literature") that "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." Like D&D, we'll be using dice to determine success or failure in an unforgiving and terrifying version of the 1930s. . Last year is going to be pretty hard to top, so tune in below to hear how a group of criminals met unfortunate ends/fell in love with the Mothman and get ready to talk about the horror genre, making your own monsters, and the inherent fun of making a game where the goal is for no one to make it through the night. . Listen here: http://bit.ly/DnD1920s

NEW EPISODE In this climactic Please Make This Minisode, our top two Air Buddies movies face off against each other to see which is the best in the series. Will it be Air Buddies (2006), the movie that started the franchise with vaguely European villains and sexy wolves? Or will it be Spooky Buddies (2011), the Halloween horror with terrifying old men and petrifying farts? Who will win the crown??

NEW EPISODE! Before we merrily skip into October and kick off a fun Halloween month for Podzooky, it's FROG SEASON! The Hollywood Kaiju bad boys Brandon, Martin and Luke had on Chicago comedian and frog appreciator Liz Stockwell to talk about the 1988 cult classic Hell comes to Frogtown. It's yet another great episode full of hot frog ladies, the impressive catalog of Donald G. Jackson and Randy Newman. Also a CW:  this movie has more sexual assault in it than we were expecting so there's some discussion on that trend in 80's movies.  👾 Subscribe to Podzooky on Apple Podcasts! ⚙ Follow @machineculture for more Chicago-based Podcasts! . #podzooky #machineculture #kaiju #godzilla #monstermovie #movie #🎥 #movies #moviepodcast #comedy #comedypodcast #chicagocomedy #funny #humor #pod #podcast #podcasts #podcastersofinstagram #chicago #chicagopodcast #chicagopodcastnetwork #podcastnetwork #hellcomestofrogtown #frog #frogs #mutant #randynewman #80s #80smovies #frogtown
