One year ago we lost the beloved Neil Innes, a gently acerbic comedian with a knack for sideways pop pastiches that are as sturdy and hook-filled as the hits they’re sending up. Longtime friend of the show Skizz Cyzyk returns to pick some gems from Innes’s storied career, including memorable work with The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and The Rutles. Stick around till the very end for a musical surprise.

Funtime nerds Bekah Eaton, Jonathan Eaton, and John Walker gather for the second meeting of Star Wars Support Group, a safe place to enthuse shamelessly and voice concerns about the most overhyped, overrated, overexposed and totally awesome film franchise ever. This time around, they talk about Solo, Rogue One, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and The Mandalorian! The episode turned out more jam-packed than we could imagine. (And we can imagine quite a bit.)

Sarah Read’s fiction is brutal, strange, and beguiling, so it’s a pleasure to have her on the season finale of SKEERT. And she exceeded already high expectations, affably breaking down the inspirations and intentions behind some stories from her disturbingly good collection, Out of Water. Add in some gorgeous ambient music from sonic wizard Daniel Farris, and this is the Halloween podcast that you need.

A couple weeks ago we discussed Henry James's The Turn of the Screw and its 1961 film adaptation, The Innocents, with friends/podcasters Bekah Eaton and Kelly Fuller. Now the same gang is back to follow up with our thoughts on another adaptation of this material, Netflix's brand new horror/drama mini-series The Haunting of Bly Manor.
