#71: Scary Halloween Mazes, Childhood Pets, 'Bridegroom'




The Banter Blender show

Summary: Lisa Timmons is back in LA, y'all! And to celebrate, we've got a brand new episode of "Banter with Ben and Lisa" for you. This week, Ben Mandelker (bsideblog.com) and Lisa (twitter.com/timmonslisa) get into the Halloween spirit by talking about all sorts of scary things. For Lisa, that means going to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. For Ben, it means telling stories of Yiddish ghosts in his childhood home. There's also a tear-inducing tale of Ben's beleaguered hamster Snowflake, and talk of fall movies including "All Is Lost" and "Bridegroom." Plus, Ben and Lisa go way back to 1986 with "The Great Mouse Detective." Oh, and there's an impassioned discussion about mayonaise and other sundry condiments. Just another day in the Banter Blender! Come listen!
