## Resource

Odds and Ends: We embrace our oldness and talk about important things like the weather, and that youngster George Harrison's new record All Things Must Pass; T.J. saw the new War of the Worlds that everyone was talking about when this episode was recorded. Good thing we release these right away so that's still relevant when this comes out! Feature Film: Our regular horrorspondent Chris brings in The Fourth Kind, a pseudomockumentary about aliens and the people that wojak for them. T.J. couldn't tell if Chris picked this as a good movie or a bad one. Next week's movie: Clown in a Cornfield (2025) You can join the conversation Wednesdays at 7pm EST! Available in podcast form on all your favorite podcatchers!
