We throw our very first grandchild birthday party and fill the house with…in-laws. Bodkin is charming and twisty, Backrooms is weird and creepy, Carrie is uneven but still compelling. In Catholic Stuff, we discuss why art should not be political.

Bonus content: Our spoilerific take on what does and doesn’t work in the new Carrie.

The Barron’s head back home to Swainsboro for a wet and humid family wedding, Predator Badlands is NOT a real Predator movie, the Silver Chair makes Kat cry every time, and Mac invests in Fraturnus.

Bonus content: We workshop new show intros.

Ben & Grace’s party went great. Heavy traffic and trying to get to a show before it starts does not make for great decompression time, Heart of the Beast almost knocks it out of the park, and we unpack so many things wrong with the makeover reality series The Swan.

Bonus content: No bonus content this week.

Instead of patrons (like at Patreon), we are called "Supporters" here at Local. I heard Mac reaching for the word to use. I believe that is it.

It would be nice to get an RSS link so I could add the bonus episodes to my podcast app. Any chance of that?

Stay tuned! Locals is about to be CST's new home base.
