Joined by the fantastic Amanda Baez, we dive headfirst into the eerie allure of this iconic horror date. 2024 has been a banner year with three Friday the 13ths, and we unpack why this day holds such a place in our hearts. Beyond the spooky, we hit all the high notes in music, talking about fresh singles from The Weeknd and Mike Posner, and new albums from powerhouse artists like Miranda Lambert, Eminem, and Yolanda Adams. Plus, we tease you with what's new in cinema, from Blumhouse's "Speak No Evil" to a sneak peek at Kevin Smith's latest, The 4:30 Movie.

We share our mixed emotions about Twisters and its attempt to capture the stormy majesty of the original. And Amanda discusses Joaquin Phoenix’s mesmerizing portrayal in The Joker and the anticipation of Lady Gaga stepping into Harley Quinn’s shoes in the sequel. We also discuss the chilling film "The Deliverance" on Netflix, praising the impressive performances and the compelling, culturally rich storyline crafted by Lee Daniels.
