🎃 Deadbeats Podcast: Halloween Special 👻
It’s a special Halloween episode and chaos reigns! Will showed up dressed as one of The Shining twins, while JT was supposed to match… but instead rocks a dinosaur mask that looks like it was made by a 3-year-old with a glue stick.
This week, Will puts JT’s horror knowledge to the test with a full-on Halloween movie quiz (yes, every Michael Myers flick!). Then, the Deadbeats break down Halloween (2018) and wrap things up by ranking every single Michael Myers mask — from terrifying to tragic.
Don’t miss this spooky, hilarious episode!
