Whoever came up with the bright idea to put these together at the end of the month should have their head examined. But since you’re here, obviously taking a break from your important Halloween activities, take a look at what we got up to. It’s a time of year for film releases, album releases, and the subsequent application for grant money to fund them. We’ve never gotten the hang of it, so please support our Patreon instead. Here’s everything we covered in October of 2018.
