We’ll be honest, when we saw the title of this week’s Welcome To Night Vale episode we hoped it would be a nifty wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey, Doctor Who-themed story with some Night Vale weirdness mixed in. But the writers love to defy expectations, so instead we got a lighthearted story about everyone in the town dealing with the truth of human existence, the body’s inevitable decline, and the inescapable reality of death.
HAPPY FALL EVERYONE.
After we recapped, there’s also some discussion of Peaky Blinders, Carnival Row, the Limetown TV show, and the 1997 horror movie Event Horizon.
Oh, and the new Star Wars trailer dropped while we were recording. YOU GUYS, THE NEW STAR WARS TRAILER JUST DROPPED. LET’S GO WATCH IT NOW.

This week’s outro music is a clip from Take Wing by The Polish Ambassador.
If you’re interested in a chilling tale of cryonics, broken promises, and an almost inhuman case of denial, give a listen to the episode of This American Life that Kathryn mentioned, “Mistakes Were Made”
There’s a whole collection of photomanipulations of Kylo Ren’s lightsaber here.
Also one of Rey’s double-bladed lightsaber. (Heh. You know what they’re calling it? A Sith Army Knife. LOL.)
AND LET’S NOT FORGET THE NEW TRAILER
