Ep. 117: Halloween Chaos, Scary Movies and 12-Foot Skeletons! Two geeks, a 12-foot skeleton, and a pile of scary movies walk into a livestream… what could go wrong? 🎃 With Brock and Jess out of town, Kevin and Bo take over the show — and things get delightfully spooky! The guys dive into their favorite scary movies, from Event Horizon to Get Out, swap haunted house stories, show off their insane Halloween decorations (yes, there’s a 12-foot skeleton), and even wander into gaming and DC movie talk. Laughs, tangents, and total Halloween chaos. It’s the front-porch vibe of Bama Geeks, just with more ghosts and less supervision. ---------- Website: Become a Bama Geeks supporter: Available on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Amazon, Spotify, and YouTube.
