YDKF Episode 166: Horror Movies

On this very special Halloween edition of You Don’t Know Flack I traipse through my history with horror movies, starting with the first ones I watched as a youngster and ending with my thoughts on modern horror films. Happy Halloween!

PS: I recently moved my microphone and apparently I hit it a dozen times during this episode. Pretend a ghost did it.

YDKF Episode 165: College

Summer’s over and class is in session! On this episode of YDKF I talk about the five (!) different colleges I’ve attended — not particularly technical in nature, but I thought you guys might want to know what I’ve been up to over the past month. The next two episodes will both be related to retro games, so hang in there!
