12 Hours Without Wi-Fi, Physical Media Nostalgia & Japanese Halloween Lore

Episode 331 Hey! Look Behind You Season 4 — Week 3 is here! 🎃📀👻 What happens when your Wi-Fi goes down for 12 hours in the middle of spooky season? You go back to basics! This week, Evo finds himself rediscovering the joys of physical media: watching DVDs on the PlayStation 5, dusting off an old CD player, digging through cases of CDs, and listening to music without Spotify deciding what should play next. Remember burning CDs, making your own mix CDs, and carefully choosing every song? Before algorithms built our playlists, we were the DJs of our own lives. We talk about the magic of rediscovering old music, the memories attached to physical collections, and why sometimes losing access to the modern world reminds us what we loved about the old one. Then we look ahead to the new Baywatch TV series coming to FOX in 2027. Which familiar faces and original cast members would we love to see return to the beach? The revival brings a new generation of lifeguards to the franchise, with David Chokachi returning as Cody Madison. We also discuss the upcoming McDonald's Pokémon Happy Meals, the timing around the latest Pokémon TCG releases, and why a new promotion should learn from the problems that previous Pokémon promotions have faced in Japan. Next, we return to Fortnitemares 2026 for Wave 2! Which horror icons and crossover characters are arriving in Fortnite, what collaborations are we excited about, and which characters did we hope to see but still haven't shown up? Fortnitemares is bringing together horror franchises and gaming favorites throughout October. Our weekly Pod Deck question brings back some childhood horror memories: What's the one horror movie you watched way too young, and what scene still lives in your head today? We share the movies that got under our skin, the moments we never forgot, and the scenes that still make us uncomfortable decades later. We also check out the first episode of Crystal Lake, the Friday the 13th prequel series, and ask whether we should take the plunge into Mike Flanagan's new adaptation of Stephen King's Carrie. Then we introduce a brand-new segment: Six Feet Under. We're digging up six horror folklore stories from across the United States, exploring the legends, local tales, and unsettling stories that have been passed down through generations. These are the kinds of stories that make you think twice about taking that late-night drive or walking through the woods after dark. And for this week's Halloween Lore, we're traveling to Japan! How does Japan celebrate Halloween? How did the tradition develop there, and how does Japanese Halloween culture differ from the trick-or-treating, haunted houses, and neighborhood traditions familiar to many Americans? We're exploring the country's unique approach to costumes, public celebrations, and spooky-season culture. From burned CDs and old-school movie nights to horror films, gaming collaborations, American folklore, and Halloween traditions across the world, Week 3 brings another packed episode of Hey! Look Behind You. The Wi-Fi went out. The CD player came back. And spooky season is only getting stranger. Turn down the lights, grab your favorite physical media, and join us. Hey!
