Description

Celtic mythology, ritualistic bone-fires, and... Julius Caesar??? Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! In celebration of ONE YEAR of That’s Pretty Dark, and the official beginning of ~spooky season~, these ‘90s kids begin their Halloween deep dive with an exploration of the facts (and myths) surrounding the earliest recorded Samhain celebrations - from the Celts to the Romans to the Catholic Church.

Here for the 80s and 90s kids who still long for the safe, spooky glow of the TV screen in a dark room, Kalyn Andrews and Christian Baxter Mott (also 90s kids) take a nostalgic look at the grittier side of the children's entertainment that ruled our adolescence and moulded our generation. Our show features every-other-weekly discussions ranging from movie nights and season-long binges, to spooky specials of shows and other traumas... (ahem, memories). So, grab your flashlights and join us on Saturday nights as we go searching for and researching what exactly it was that happened to us in the dark all those many moons ago. Indulge the collective nostalgia and follow us on Instagram and Facebook @thatsprettydarkpodcast. Tell us about your childhood experience, frightful or otherwise, at thatsprettydarkpodcast@gmail.com.
