Whew! We’ve got a week this week and I’m coming in hot so let’s get right to the business!

On Monday we return to Valheim! We were thinking of taking a break and maybe booting up Enshrouded but all of us really wanted to dig into the swamps and continue. On Tuesday we’ve got the end of our run with Abby’s 2006 Fright or Shite, so don’t miss that. On Friday it’s time for another Patron’s Choice stream, so look for a poll on the site soon!

Over in the Podcast Zone we’ve got the end of our October Watchcast run with The Lost Boys! CRY LITTLE SISTER! We’ll have The Ramblecast, Podcast, a Patron Q&A, and a new Never Been a Better Podcast this week! That’s a lot to listen to while you’re out there Trick or Treating this year.

Ok, time to get ready for Valheim!

The Nextlander Watchcast
Our final movie for our October Watchcast slate is an '80s favorite of Alex and Vinny's, and somehow something our friend Bradley has yet to see! We're of course talking about Joel Schumacher's campy vampire coming-of-age adventure The Lost Boys, a movie both extremely of its time and utterly timeless in its depiction of dirtbag teen vampires and greased up muscular saxophonists.
