I am on the Road to Christmas, but we did a month long screening series of scary movies at a movie theater in Brooklyn. Mhmm. We called it Monday Scaries. That was the the best deal we could get on renting out the theater. Was Monday night. It's great. Instead of Sunday Scaries, we did Monday Scaries. That's awesome. [00:24:40] S1: Yeah. What what what stuck out to you? What's the underrated scary film? What's the... What what's your approach? [00:24:46] S4: Really good. Have you seen March of Lost and Creep? [00:24:48] S2: No. Never watched a scary movie. [00:24:50] S4: Really? It's sad. [00:24:52] S2: I I I don't think I've watched a horror movie, like, start to finish. [00:24:54] S4: And then we watched another one called trick our treats trick our treats, which is more of like a campy [00:25:00] S1: Okay. Cool. [00:25:01] S4: Halloween one, which I... Yeah. That was great. Everyone loved to hang out. People were sort of, like, bringing their zines and trading zines, did free popcorn. [00:25:10] S1: Yeah. That's great. So does Zines? Like, old magazines? Like, zines are, like, one off, more [00:25:16] S4: More zines. More DIY. There's a there's a local news boom happening in Brooklyn right now. A lot of it is originating on Substack, So people are kind of becoming their own little paper men and town criers. [00:25:29] S2: Publishing on Substack, but also printing it and distributing it by hand. Yeah. [00:25:32] S1: They'll put it in, like, a newsstand on the... Just on the street. Right?

What's the Or, like, stacking them at cafes and stuff or bringing them to Feed Me events Yeah. To to get it in the hands [00:25:41] S1: of Is Byline a good example of that? [00:25:43] S4: Byline, I would consider a magazine. Okay. [00:25:45] S1: Magazine. Not a zine. [00:25:47] S4: But, there's, like, the Carroll Gardens [00:25:50] S2: Mhmm.

[00:26:08] S4: They said that stores that are already playing Christmas music are despicable and low brow. What? What? I think it must have been a mistake.
