Maybe after a couple of pickleball rounds, you can sit back with a large popcorn and catch a flick!
Halloween Specials Coming to TV
There are some Halloween-themed episodes coming your way on both Family Guy and The Simpsons.

Tonight’s Cult Classic: ‘Zone Troopers’
If you’re looking for something a little offbeat, check out Zone Troopers, a cult sci-fi flick about WWII soldiers who stumble upon a downed alien ship. It’s got a mix of Nazis, extraterrestrials, and some very cool retro special effects. Tim Thomerson and Art LaFleur star in this indie gem, bringing charm and grit to this quirky narrative. If you love a good B-movie with some intergalactic flavor, this is a binge later recommendation.
