Whitney chose this month's Mental Health episode as her birthday episode, 1995's EMPIRE RECORDS, directed by Allan Moyle and starring Liv Tyler, Rory Cochrane, Ethan Embry, Robin Tunney and Renee Zellweger. The crew of stereotypical Gen X slackers working in a record store discover that their beloved workplace is slated to be consumed by a megastore chain, they fight to save their indy shop. Meanwhile, it's Rex Manning Day, and the whole store is excited... well, Liv Tyler is at least, as she's planning on offering her virginity to the aging pop star. It's very much a post-Clerks type of Gen X comedy that's endlessly quotable and massively charming with an absolute banger of a soundtrack.

PATREON Free Preview: Ep 114: Empire Records

For the next entry in our Tucson Music Scene month, we welcome Ty from the ska punk band Swigfoot [http://www.swigfoot.com/] and he's bringing us 1998's ALMOST HEROES directed by the great Christopher Guest and starring Matthew Perry and Chris Farley, in his final role before his untimely death. Leslie Edwards and Bartholomew Hunt are two explorers in the 1800s, racing their way across the country to chart a path to the Pacific Ocean, trying to beat Lewis and Clark to the punch. Joined by a band of misfits, they get into a bunch of shenanigans and, eventually, find that the real journey was their friendship... or something. This one was a big flop and we're going to have a great time diving into it.

Ep 113: Almost Heroes (w Ty from Swigfoot)

We continue Tucson Music Scene Month with our pal, and local synth musician, 3CEUS brings us this black sheep entry in the Halloween franchise, HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH, directed by Tommy Lee Wallace and starring Tom Atkins and Stacey Nelkin. Better known as "the one without Michael Myers", we'll talk about why that happened and what is even going on in this batshit crazy tale of child murder, Irish warlocks, mysticism and rubber masks. Oh, and Tom Atkins is REALLY drunk the whole time.

Ep 112: Halloween III: Season of the Witch (w 3CEUS)

This week we welcome our good friend Patch from Evasion [https://www.instagram.com/evasion_tucson/] to dive into the 1994 smash hit turd, STREET FIGHTER directed by Steven E. de Souza and starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, the incomparable Raul Julia, Ming-Na Wen, Wes Studi and Kylie Minogue. When General Bison, the evil dictator of Shadaloo, takes a busload of relief workers hostage for ransom, Colonel Guile leads the Allied Nation's forces against him along with reporter Chun-Li and a cast of colorful characters. There's almost no street fighting and a lot of silly bullshit, but it was a lot of fun to watch and even more fun to discuss!

If you're in Tucson, Arizona, go see Evasion perform this Friday (Nov 8) at The Rock [https://rocktucson.com/] when they open for Crowbar!

Ep 111: Street Fighter (with Patch from Evasion)

Jamie Lee Curtis makes a short appearance in the film she describes as "a joke", but the meat of this turd sandwich takes place back in Haddonfield where a live internet reality show called Dangertainment hosted by Busta Rhymes is being filmed in Michael’s old home. This stupid throwback to the early 2000s is widely considered the worst entry in the Halloween franchise and, in fact, was so bad that the planned sequel was canceled and the next Halloween film ended up being Rob Zombie's 2007 reboot.

Ep 110: Halloween: Resurrection

Here's a little clip of our newest Patrons only episode for Halloween Horrorfest available at patreon.com/worsepeople [http://www.patreon.com/worsepeople]

PATREON FREE PREVIEW Ep 109: The Fly (1986)

For our penultimate entry in the Dirka Classic Movies series and our next episode of Halloween Horrorfest, we discuss this flick, directed by a guy apparently known as Mr. B.I.G., Bert I. Gordon, a monster movie master and schlock king. This one stars Joan Collins of Dynasty fame and follows her and a group of unsuspecting shlubs that she is trying to con into buying fancy houses in a high-class neighborhood that hasn't been built yet. They stumble upon gigantic irradiated ants that can also mind-control humans with pheromones that their Queen squirts into their faces. A bunch of no-names that we give fun nicknames to have to fight their way through the swampland to survive screeching ants, pod people and the wilderness.

Ep 108: Empire of the Ants (Dirka Classic Movies)

The next installment in our Halloween Horrorfest, THE FACULTY is directed by one of Derrick's favorite directors, Robert Rodriguez, and stars a deep cast of future stars including Josh Hartnett, Clea DuVall, Jordanna Brewster, Jon Stewart, Famke Janssen, Elijah Wood and Usher (in his film debut) as well as old favorites like Selma Hayek, Piper Laurie, Bebe Neuwirth, Robert Patrick and Chris McDonald! Basically, this is The Invasion of the Breakfast Club Snatchers, with a high school being infiltrated by alien squids that bind with their hosts and alter their behavior. A ragtag team of kids, including the jock, the cheerleader, the nerd, the burnout and the new girl, are made to join forces to stop the invasion before it can spread outside of their little Ohio town. We revel in the 90s-ness of the soundtrack, the storytelling, the action and the fashion while finding ways to dismiss the sometimes god-awful CG.

Ep 107: The Faculty

A direct-to-video early 90s oddity starring a little baby Seth Green, Alfonso Ribeiro (yes Carlton himself) as a street tough named Panic, Clint Howard and a whole cast of nobodies! A group of troubled and misfit teens go on a camping trip with a youth group to commune with nature and find some peace, but the local pot farmers are using a dangerous chemical on their crops that leads to football-sized flesh eating ticks terrorizing the camp and the entire town! TICKS pays homage to the monster movies of the 1950s while upping the level of goop and bloodshed massively!

Ep 106: Ticks

This sequel to our Patreon exclusive episode [http://www.patreon.com/worsepeople] was released a whopping SIX YEARS after the original, seeing the return of Fred Ward and Michael Gross, but notably not Kevin Bacon. Ward is now an ostrich farmer and graboid hunter for hire, recruited to help a Mexican oil company eradicate their infestation south of the border. Joined by a new, forgettable partner, Ward begins to realize that the graboids have evolved into a slimy version of Nerds candy and has to pull out all the stops to win the day with the help of his old pal Burt and a truckload of explosives.
