The Battery's back! The guys talk girls being friends, the Tekashi Six9ine trial, being true to your upbringing, Antonio Brown's group chat, Denzel playing Magneto, Kanye's latest album, the Area 51 flop, Trump and the Ukraine, and keeping your Ls off social media.

In a tonal departure, Jeaux interviews Adam, artistic baker and painter, for a conversation that's heavier on process than performance.

The first sequel in the series, Monster Blood II picks up shortly after the first, and our hero Evan is anything but a hero to the kids in his new town.

The change in Evan's life, the return of a few old friends, and witch induced PTSD are all covered in this...

Cam and Peanut recap their weeks, and Cam goes a step further by using a meeting at an event at his Alma Mater to talk about the biggest lies the guys have experienced, and how one helped provide guidance for a kid in need.

This week's story goes from downer to WAY DOWNER is... silver lining.

A 3 way body swap, lots of near death experiences, and learning to focus on yourself are the big points as we se...

WHAT FUN! Seriously, in a horror/sci-fi/fantasy series, RL Stine takes a bit of a chance to get off some pretty good comedy. Think National Lampoon's Vacation meets Killer Clowns from Outer Space in this story about a family taking a wrong turn to the wrong place for all the right scares and jumps! There are really great descriptions of "costumes", rides, attractions... and a damn Nick arcade game...

This week's book has a lively protagonist, maybe the most rational parents, a little interracial romance, and some things that are better off imagined than seen. It tries to be a ghost story, but a sci-fi story, but a psychological thriller, and kind of falls on it's face at all three. I compare it a bit it to the visual treatment, but mostly have fun talking about Jerry's interactions more than a...
