Being sick is no fun, especially in October, but I find it helps to marathon a bunch of old WCW Halloween Havoc PPVs.

Today’s Moment of Zen is MTV’S HALLOWEEN HORROR SHOW

Have a spooky Saturday morning, ghoul kids!!

**NEW EPISODE** In our first-ever Ghoul Kids Movie Club, our special (and spoOOoOooOoky) guest April joins us to discuss 1995's CASPER, a movie filled with heart, hijinks, and pre-teen hormones. Available now wherever you get your podcasts, or just go here: coolkidsclub.libsyn.com/episode-118-...

Come for the Casper hand puppets, stay for the wonderful look inside Pizza Hut in the 90s. Our Casper episode drops TOMORROW AT NOON wherever you get your podcasts!

This week’s spooky new episode (dropping FRIDAY AT NOON) features not one but TWOOOOOOOOO special guests: the lovely April and the one and only CASPER himself!!

**FRIDAY AT NOON** It’s our first ever Ghoul Kids Movie Club!! Our very special guest April returns to the show to discuss the spooky hijinks, dream houses, and pre-teen horniness of 1995’s CASPER!

Because it has pretty much become tradition that I post this every year, today’s moment of zen is my favorite Halloween commercial ever.

Since I’ve been watching lots of Are You Afraid of the Dark lately, I thought it would be fun to rank my (Justin’s) top ten episodes! Tell me what you think - did I leave out your favorites? What would your list be like?

The witching hour is at hand, and the Ghoul Kids Club has risen from the grave! All month long we will be celebrating the spooky season, including THREE new episodes, and maybe some fun extra goodies along the way. Let’s have an awesome Halloween, cool kids!!!

Guys will see this and just think “hell yeah.” 🦍 🧠

Today’s moment of zen is SPOOKY FRUIT. Soon….🎃👻

Saturdays are for the toys.

**NEW EPISODE** Fire up the family computer and join us as we reminisce about the PC games we loved, from Chip's Challenge and Pipe Dream to The Sims and Oregon Trail! It's PC GAME ADVENTURES, available now wherever you get your podcasts, or just go here: coolkidsclub.libsyn.com/episode-117-...

Get your floppy discs ready and join us FRIDAY AT NOON for our new episode PC Game Adventures!! We’ll be talking Oregon Trail, The Sims, the free games that came with Windows for us poors, and much more!

Guys. I forgot that sir Bob Saget was a local Norfolk boy. youtu.be/EGrvoXNvAHo (he discusses watching bungles as a kid in Norfolk halfway in the clip) ( @coolkidsclubpod.bsky.social )

Happy first day of fall, cool kids!! Just remember: never jump into a pile of leaves with a wet sucker. 🍁🍂

Another excellent day at the toy show!

**NEW EPISODE** Come with us to a time before YouTube and TikTok, when we would gather around the TV on Sunday nights to watch Bob Saget narrate our weekly dose of slips, pranks, funny kids, and crazy pets. It's America's Funniest Home Videos! Available now wherever you get your podcasts.

We’re back! Sorry about that cool kids, we had some personal stuff come up and had to take a few days away. But time to get back to the important stuff: talking nostalgia! Better late than never, our AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS episode will now be dropping TOMORROW!

Hey cool kids, we thought we could make it but unfortunately life stuff happened and we will not have our new episode out today. We will get it out ASAP, thanks for hanging tight!

It’s a good night for a spooky movie.

AMERICA, AMERICA, THIS IS YOOOOOOUUUUUU!! Join us Saturday at noon for our brand new episode America’s Funniest Home Videos - from a time when you’d wait all week to watch an hour of Tik Tok videos.

SATURDAY AT NOON (yes, we’re pushing this week’s episode back a day) we revisit those evenings gathered around the TV with the family to watch Bob Sagat tell dad jokes and people get hit in the nuts. It’s AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS!

Fall candles and Are You Afraid of the Dark? Not a bad way to spend a Saturday evening.

We made it to Friday, cool kids - time to party!

It’s time once again for some bite-sized nostalgia, with more retro commercials!! These were recorded off WGN Chicago in August 1988. Lots of back to school and Chicago-area local commercials on this one!

The switch has been flipped and Spooky Season Mode has been engaged. There is no going back now.

We as a society need to make a bigger deal about Billy Madison and Ralphie Parker having the same dad.

The best thrift store VHS haul of my life: super obscure horror, Saturday morning cartoons, MST3K, Zacherly, 90s wrestling, and the worst TMNT content ever produced!

**NEW EPISODE** In this episode we have to re-do school two weeks per grade in order to gain control of our family’s hotel business. Just kidding - it’s Movie Club and we’re talking about the 90s cult classic Billy Madison! Available NOW wherever you get your podcasts.

Dale yeah, it’s another nostalgic slice-of-life in the form of retro commercials! These were recorded during NASCAR races on ESPN and TNN (The NASHVILLE Network) in November 1991.

Everyone know that our newest Movie Club episode Billy Madison drops Friday at noon?? GOOD. GREAT. GRAND. WONDERFUL.

FRIDAY AT NOON we’re going back to school (to prove to dad that I’m not a fool) with the cult comedy classic BILLY MADISON! And yes, we will be discussing the eternal debate over which is better: shampoo or conditioner 🦢

Soon………🎃👻

How the first week of school has me feeling.

A hot take! What do you think, cool kids?

This is wonderful.

Your Sunday Moment of Zen is POLLYVILLE💕

Aimee captured the current state of our local mall food court - not bad!! A lot of other malls in the area have declined or closed but for whatever reason this one seems to thrive. (Notice that Dippin’ Dots sign at the very end!!!)

Shout-out to all the food court knock-offs

“That’s a Star Trek computer. Like Captain Clark.”

**NEW EPISODE** Snack Attack is back! Grab an Orange Julius, a slice of Sbarros, or a big soft prezel and join us for a trip back to the ultimate childhood and teen social hub - and all the glorious food you could get there - the mall food court! Out now wherever you get your podcasts.

This week’s retro commercial block was recorded October 28, 1997 during a clip show special called “Flashback: Survivor Series” that WWF produced specifically to counter-program Hulk Hogan’s TV movie “Assault on Devil’s Island.”
