AKA Halloween Retrospective #12.
In 2018, Howard, Dan and Spider-Dan began this podcast's epic mission to review every single film in the Halloween franchise (then only 11 films strong). After several years away, Dan and Spider-Dan reconvene (with Howard chiming in via phone call) to discuss two recently-added entries in the series, beginning with 2021's Halloween Kills.
Beware, the discussion includes a full summary of the film's story, including spoilers.

Our review of the next film, Halloween Ends, will be released on Halloween itself this year, although for Patreon supporters, a video version of this discussion is already available on our Patreon page.
