Good evening, ladies and ghouls, it's spooky season so we are taking a look at the classic HBO anthology series Tales From the Crypt. We debate many important questions, like "Should the Cryptkeeper be canceled?" and "Why is the last episode of this an animated twist on the Three Little Pigs?"

Stephen debuts a new character as we discuss Jason Momoa's post-apocalyptic fantasy series about a world where almost everybody is blind. This somehow existed for three seasons but you have probably never heard of it! Baba Voss

Dinosaurs
The last show we discussed ended with demons being released from Hell and encroaching on the greater Copenhagen area, so we thought we'd lighten the mood with a bizarre sitcom about dinosaurs and how they're just like us. Except that it ends with the world ending and the implied death from starvation/exposure coming for every character, including a catchphrase-spewing baby. Not the mama! Gotta love me!

The Kingdom
We're going to continental Europe for the first time in a minute to talk Danish enfant terrible Lars Von Trier's The Kingdom. It's Twin Peaks meets ER but really mostly trying to be the former. There's a lot of Danish-Swedish beef that we don't really understand. And a lot of unrelated talk about a certain move that improv comics are way too fond of doing.

Designing Women
The South got something to say...but we only have a little bit to add about classic sitcom Designing Women, about a group of interior designers in Atlanta sniping at each other (and the showrunners, it turns out). Like all discussions of shows we didn't find to be rich texts, we do start talking about Hideo Kojima.
