Episode 148: Coronavirus news, Holidate, The Donut King, The Craft: Legacy, Synchronic

It might be a wild week coming up, so we’re self-soothing with fun-size Halloween candy and inane rom-coms on the latest Breakfast All Day. Alonso, Matt and Christy review “Holidate” on Netflix, the lovely documentary “The Donut King,” the sequel “The Craft: Legacy” and the trippy, time-traveling thriller “Synchronic.” We’re chock full of news, including the Dodgers winning the World Series (and Justin Turner testing positive for covid), how we’re feeling heading into Tuesday’s election, sex cult leader Keith Raniere receiving a life sentence and Kim Kardashian‘s 40th birthday, complete with a private island celebration and a hologram of her dad. It’s a lot! And over at our Patreon, we’re thrilled about the return of “The Mandalorian” on Disney+, we dip into the other docuseries about NXIVM, “Seduced” on STARZ, and we review the Off the Menu horror movie our subscribers chose for us, 1977’s batshit crazy “Hausu” from Japan. Please keep in touch with us as this week goes along and let us know how you’re doing during this tumultuous time — and thanks for spending some of that time with us.
