1) Poor Devil: What more can we say about this forgotten 1973 TV movie/failed pilot? Frankly, I think we did a good job of doing 45 minutes on it on this week's podcast!

9) James Randi: R.I.P. to the noted skeptic and frequent Carson guest:
10) Yogi's All-Star Comedy Christmas Caper: Ok, we've been celebrating Halloween, but let's mention that the beloved holiday classic premieres on HBO Max this weekend! Click here to listen to us break it down on the podcast!
