    Halloween H20: 20 Years Later & Halloween: Resurrection

    Michael Myers is back and then he’s back back back AGAIN! So hop in a dumbwaiter and get ready for some Dangertainment, because we’re discussing both HALLOWEEN H20: 20 YEARS LATER and HALLOWEEN: RESURRECTION! Cody and Kira celebrate the spookiest time of the year by judging Michael’s masks, the acting abilities of two of our finest performers (Michelle Williams and Tyra Banks), and cinematic depictions of outdated technology.
