We have been having a rollicking, good time in the Members Only Mailbag! As an early Halloween treat, we want to share some of our favorite letters on the main feed. Nostalgia for local tv commercials, Hearst Castle, the origins of a catch phrase, and much more! PLUS a never-before-heard chat with past guest Jamie Loftus about vegan hot dogs!

And if you want to hear more of these gems, we have over two years of Membo Mailbag episodes to catch up on. Just join Maximum Fun at maximumfun.org/joinjjho!

Are all scary movies fair game for Halloween movie nights, or does the movie have to involve the holiday? Judge John Hodgman answers these questions and much more, with Bailiff Jesse Thorn and special guest Jordan Morris (Marvel’s The Amazing Venom, Free With Ads, Jordan Jesse Go)!
