  2. Halloween Episode 5: Quantum Leap

    Show notes

    Welcome to Halloween Episode 4 of The Holiday Rewind, Quantum Leap. Dr.Sam Beckett was no stranger to unexpected experiences and mistaken identities during his leaping tenure, but his Halloween leap in "The Boogieman" had mysteries for the ages, with howling hounds, whistling winds, nefarious animals, a mystery writer (or two), and, perhaps, the devil. We discuss all of this and marvel at the perfect Halloween tone set by this tonally eerie and thematic episode.

  3. Halloween Episode 4: Northern Exposure

    Season 1, Episode 4

    Show notes

    Welcome to Halloween Episode 4 of The Holiday Rewind! The town of Cicely, Alaska never found a holiday that it couldn't celebrate in unique style. Halloween is no exception, as Joel Fleischman's dark half visits in the form of his twin brother Jules and Chris has to metaphorically wrestle his own inner demon with the appearance of the mad bomber, a legendary character from Chris's own town of Wheeling, West Virginia. Freud has something to say about this...or does he?
