Due to illness, we can’t provide our high-quality podcast tonight — Dead On the Bases for 10/12/23 is postponed. We hope to be back on the air and in your ears next Thursday, 10/19/23. Thanks for understanding!
It’s a close game now: Jeff (the Ump) gets The Hidden (1987) while Tim (the Vamp) returns the favor with the Burt and Loni classic Stroker Ace (1983). And we thought last week was all about nightmares!
Jeff’s dreams come true as he finally gets Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), while poor, undeserving Tim (the Vamp) is forced to watch Rudy (1993) like an endless nightmare. Tim reviews Rudy, Jeff reviews Elm Street.
