* Jack goes as [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] for Halloween. Kayla, inspired by delivering another ''Super Smash Bros.'' beatdown, goes as [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus]] (she makes a pretty kickass Varia suit out of milk jugs, soda bottles, repurposed off-the-rack costumes, and lots of red and orange paint). Joe goes as Film/TheCrow, because "the Crow is only the coolest thing to ever do anything ever." Belle goes as [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Elsa]].

* Jack relates a bit about him and a coworker locked in a debate that has sundered friendships and destroyed families, and even now threatens to tear the veneer of professionalism away and cause them to come to blows. The debate? [[Film/BatmanVSSuperman Batman vs. Superman]] (as in, the film had not come out yet and the debate whether Batman could defeat Superman, not the merits of the film itself).
