We're back at it again. John embarks upon the pointless annual journey he calls Schlocktober with the movie that started it all: John Landis' directorial debut Schlock (1973). Ryan tackles another horror franchise with The Conjuring (2013), and Dixon probably gets a little too political with his discussion of Michael Radford's adaptation of the dystopian George Orwell novel 1984 (1984). Dixon is patiently awaiting his banishment from the internet while John and Ryan quietly talk to potential replacements.
