    Dark Copers! We have a special guest speaking this evening! Coming at you from Australia, Parker sits down with Dominic and they debate the age old question...Pineapple on pizza?

    Dominic rants and raves back in his day about VHS being scary because Uncle Bob's recorded over video tapes could be moans with OR without the horror.

    Parker hits us with the perspective of a young adult growing up in the "Google around and find out" age. He shares his personal beliefs on how to push your Rapture awareness, and warns Freddy Krueger about jumping into his ADHD dreamworld.
