With Halloween upon us, everyone will be itching to be frightened, and these days movies are just a bit more popular than the haunted house. Of course, this used to mean suspense, ghosts, maybe a murderer on the loose. But now, for some reason, it means staring at unlimited amounts of blood and gore for 90 minutes. These things don't scare, so much as they shock.

So what has become of us? Why do we crave such exhibitions, and what will happen if we indulge ourselves? We discuss these issues, plus we count down our top five terrifying films.

In this show David and Rich discuss the current cultural emphasis on the idiocy of men. Also, they list their Top Five Stupid Films. Enjoy!

David: We're continuing to make changes to the format of our show and we thought we'd let you all in on the news and updates concerning C & PC and the future.

The "Listener Feedback" show is gone! We will no longer be doing a separate show for listener feedback, but will, instead, be consistently talking about feedback on each episode (so long as we have feedback to talk about...that's your job). Also we have some great new shows coming up, dealing with subjects such as: music, horror films, Virtual Communities, The Pop-Culture "Dumb Guy," Television, and evangelism. We also have more special guests, and were going to be putting out one episode a week consistently. So each Monday be sure to check out the latest edition of Christ and Pop-Culture.

Remember back in the day, when Rich and David used to disagree on things? Man, those were the days. Fortunately, those days are back, and now Rich and David are convinced that the other is completely wrong! It makes for spirited conversation, and an interesting show!

This time around, David and I saw a movie called the Kingdom. How was it? It was fun and meaningful! Or it was boring and overly pretentious! Or it depends on who you ask!

We got a lot of good feedback, so we figured we should probably devote a show to it. Enjoy!

Also, a special thanks to the following, who were kind enough to link to our podcast:

We've also added a permanent link section for anyone who has linked to us.

Rich: You know, it's funny. You always look forward to fall break and plan all sorts of things you will do and catch up on and have fun with... and then you get scheduled for something ridiculous like 45 hours and you STILL have to catch up on things. So, we figured CAPC can be on fall break too, just until a week from today. We hope you will miss us, because we already miss you!

We have a lot of exciting ideas for the next few shows, and David even got a new microphone that should sound way better, so now he won't sound like he's on the telephone. Also, we have a lot of feedback to get through, so we'll probably be doing a whole show on that.

As for those who have linked us, we'll be thanking you in our next show, and we'll also be blogging a special blog to thank you in the next day or so. We really really appreciate you guys support. It's been so encouraging. You like us. You really like us.

For those of you who don't like us quite yet, it's not too late! You can still get that link and mention on our show if we see you in our referrals before we blog the list.
