Darcy The Mail Girl returns for the 6th Annual Talk Is Jericho Halloween Special, and this year it’s all about Heavy Metal Horror! Chris and Darcy dig into the unholy union of rock and the macabre, from satanic panic and backwards messages to the riffs that ruled horror’s bloodiest moments.

John 5 Presents - KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Museum

Chris Jericho tours guitarist John 5’s private KISS Museum, an undisclosed location housing some 5,000 pieces of memorabilia — all from KISS’s legendary makeup era (1973–1983).

Back To The Future 2 – The Wackiest, Darkest, Most Ambitious Sequel Ever Made

Brad Gilmore returns to celebrate Back To The Future Day (a few days late) with a deep dive into one of the most ambitious sequels ever made! He and Chris break down the 2015 that actually got a few things right, the dark alternate 1985 ruled by Biff Tannen, and all the chaos that comes with Marty McFly colliding with his past self in 1955. They talk about the behind-the-scenes drama with Crispin Glover, why Jennifer Parker was recast with Elizabeth Shue, Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers random cameo, and the scrapped “Vietnam draft” script that almost changed everything. Brad and Chris also discuss the groundbreaking effects that let Michael J. Fox play three characters at once, the new camera tech Steven Spielberg’s ILM invented for the film, and the real reason old Biff disappears at the end!
