Episode 21: The Fire Ghost
"I'm the trouble starter, punkin' instigator. I'm the fear addicted, a danger illustrated. I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter. You're a firestarter, twisted firestarter."   The Prodigy set the fire and we're here with Are You Afraid of the Dark? to deal with the aftermath. What Katie thought was a GREAT episode, Becky wasn't so sure about. How about you break the tie?   Other topics of discussion: Chuck's here and there's nothing you can do about it, getting misgendered at the Hobby Lobby, and what exactly are the grander implications of FIRE ghosts?

Episode 20: The Room for Rent
This is one of those episodes we watched so you wouldn't have to. Go on and give 'er a listen, but you can probably skip this one on your rewatch. Unless of course, you're crazy about forced sexual tension between senior citizens and bad ghost special effects!   Other topics of discussion: the secret to conquering nerves, whimsical neighbors, the end of "reality", and podcast SCANDALS.

Episode 0: The Channel Zero "Pilot"
Hello Zeebs! We're on a break this week, but now that we have almost 20 episodes under our belts we thought we'd take you on a trip back in time to our very first recording. Call it a "test of concept" if you will. In this episode we discuss Episode 1 of Season 2 of the underrated sci-fi show Channel Zero. Leggo.   Take a listen to see how far we've come, and perhaps where we'll revisit once we're done with Are You Afraid of the Dark?!

Yeehaw Zeebs! We're back with a brand new episode. In this one, Becky and Katie try to find their way out of the infamous Watcher's Woods.

Episode 16: The Pinball Wizard
Yucky yikes. Becky and Katie could barely get through this one. We'll spoil it here, it's so bad. If you don't want to listen to our hosts seethe with rage at an episode of a Nickelodeon kid's show, go ahead and wait a week. We also forgot to put a mat under our mic so we apologize for the table bumps. We're a work in progress...  Other topics of discussion: Working for chains, the pressure that comes with being a Kumon kid, and just how fast we can turn on our beloved Gary.
