• M.L. Elrick (Twitter @elrick/Facebook ML ELRICK/Instagram ml_elrick), Marc Fellhauer (Twitter @MarcFell), Shawn Windsor (Twitter @ShawnWindsor) and clear the aisles for Fox 2 Entertainment anchor Lee Thomas (Twitter @Lee Thomas TV/). Later, Matt Jennings (Twitter @MattRJennings) checks in with an epic bomb, while Joey Zuver keeps his head down to avoid the arterial spray.
• THE STRAIGHT DOPE:  Lee reminisces about his start in New York, working with ABC-TV’s Joel Siegel, scoping out Siskel & Ebert of “At the Movies,” and vowing not to ever get his hair did like Gene Shalit of NBC-TV. Now he is the cinematic genius behind Fox 2’s outstanding “CriticLEE Speaking” film review show. 
• We’re talking our favorite horror films, but Marc gets Lee talking about his most horrific celebrity interviews. (Spoiler alert: Jonah Hill isn’t always funny.) ML shares his own scary encounter with one of Michigan’s biggest movie stars of all time. And Marc is still heartbroken that MCA turned out to be a Beastly Boy when he interviewed him.
• Turns out Lee and ML agree on the best horror movie of all-time. Listen to find out Lee’s other favorites. And ML reveals which flick caused his brother to almost pull the film alarm at the old Shores Madrid movie theater.
• Lee lays down some markers for what makes a great horror movie — which is not to be confused with a suspense or slasher flick.
• Here’s something scary: Marc was part of Hands Across America. And, allegedly, Up with People.
• Shawn chimes in to point out that 30 years after ML was exposed as pathetically unprepared for his interview with Jeff Daniels, he is STILL pathetically unprepared. (Thanks, Shawn!!!)
• Lee recalls how he helped make the peace after another critic said something to Snoop Dogg that he NEVER should have said. Listen and learn what “LIG” means when uttered by the King of the LBC. 
• After Lee exits the stage after his star turn in a leading role, the boys share some of their favorite Halloween costumes of all times. Picture Marc as a dinosaur. ML as Marilyn Monroe. And Shawn demands a re-telling of ML’s Telly Tubby costume story. 
• THE GREAT DEBATE: After one week of Big Ten football, the boys debate whether we saw the real Wolverines in Minnesota (Marc hopes so) and the real Spartans in East Lansing (ML hopes not).
• GEEK OF THE WEEK: Shawn self-flagellates, Marc whips it out on a North Carolina preacher and ML gets deep.
• THIS WEEK IN SOFT HISTORY: After this week’s lesson, Professor Matt may be history! Listen to find out why …
• ROOM 7609: Just in time for Halloween, Dope checks in to the NuWave suite with their cover of Dead or Alive’s “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record).” It is yet another awesome non-NuWave band covering a NuWave hit. We’ve received so many great suggestions for these kinds of covers that we’re EXTENDING NuWave covers into November. Wait til you see what we come up with next!
