This Halloween, check out some not-so-scary flicks - a podcast by KCRW

This Halloween, film critic William Bibbiani recommends Cat People, The Fly, Elvira: Mistress of Evil, Ghostwatch, and Over the Garden Wall. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is defending himself against accusations that he was “justifying terrorism,” after remarks that included calling for a humanitarian cease-fire. The WGA West addressed the Hamas attack for the first time, calling it an “abomination” in an email to WGA members, and apologizing for not commenting sooner. A 300-year-old Shōya house from Japan was meticulously disassembled and shipped to the Huntington in San Marino, then put back together. The process took eight years. Bollito misto is the ultimate salute to meaty goodness. The key to this Italian dish: meats with different textures and flavors. It only has vegetables in the pot as aromatics.
