Tim discusses his favorite Halloween movies, joking that Hocus Pocus is scary because it lacks diversity, then praises Jacob's Ladder and Danny Aiello, including a tangent about Aiello's ubiquity on NYC pizzeria celebrity walls.
- Tim explains why Hocus Pocus is legitimately scary: everybody in the movie is white.
- The film lacks any diversity — no disabled people, no one transitioning, no Black Panthers.
- Jacob's Ladder with Tim Robbins and Danny Aiello is a phenomenal film Tim enjoys.
- Jacob's Ladder is about a Vietnam vet who the government drugged to make soldiers more vicious because American boys were too soft.
- Danny Aiello delivers the film's great quote: demons are really angels, depending on how you look at it.
- Tim recites the full Jacob's Ladder quote about making peace with dying and seeing devils as angels freeing you from the world.
- Tim enjoys Rob Zombie films like Devil's Rejects and House of a Thousand Corpses.
