- Welcome to #Millennial, the home of pretend adulting and real talk!
- It's October, so you know what that means in a Presidential Election year - October Surprises!
- We reflect on previous October surprises in 2020 and 2016 - oh for simpler times...
- This week's ballot plug goes to.... THE BIG 7: 7 incumbent Senate Democrats really need to hold onto their seats, especially since Joe Manchin (D?-WV) is noping out of Congress. Split a donation between Ruben Gallego (AZ), Elissa Slotkin (MI), Jon Tester (MT), Jacky Rosen (NV), Sherrod Brown (OH), Bob Casey Jr. (PA), Tammy Baldwin (WI) at Swing Left.
- Are the most prominent voices amongst toxic fandom figures just out for blood? Some in Hollywood think so.
- Should there be limits on how much production companies are relying on fan input/focus groups?
- Has fandom toxicity gotten worse over the years due to the internet and social media? We think so.
- The slippery slope of fans thinking they know better than creators, and burning those creators when they don't match fan visions.
- Our very own Pam has seen backlash from toxic fans just for reporting the NEWS.
- This week's recommendations are a mix of altruism and comfort: Donating to support Hurricane Milton relief (Laura), Balatro on mobile (Andrew), and Snag Tights (Pam).
And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon and Apple Podcasts:
- Come get cozy with us for what may be the most wholesome discussion to ever happen on this show!
- Ok, be honest - as adults, do we still sleep with stuffed animals?
- Each of us brings some special cuddly guests to introduce on the show - some have been in our lives since before we can remember!
