Anora

Anora (Mikey Madison), or Ani as she prefers, is a fiery young stripper at a Manhattan club leading a mostly unremarkable life until the night Russian man-child Vanya (Mark Eidelshtein) walks into the club. Hitting it off, Vanya returns night after night eventually paying for private dates with Ani leading to a weeklong girlfriend experience of booze, drugs, sex, and partying ending in to a trip to Vegas, an unexpected proposal, and marriage. It seems Ani has hit the jackpot a rags to riches story. However, when Ani’s family discovers what Vanya has done things get nuts.

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein

Scary Sunday takes us back to an unlikely meeting of Hollywood stars. Hoping to use the studio’s most popular stars to rekindle interest in their monster properties, Universal brought the comedic duo into the world of Dracula (Béla Lugosi), Frankenstein’s Monster (Glenn Strange), and the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney Jr.) bringing back the actors who had made the monsters popular. Despite concerns about the script from everyone involved, and the less than cordial relationship between Abbot and Costello, the film became one of Universal’s biggest hits leading to further misadventures of the duo with the Universal Monsters.

Bob's Burgers - Fort Night

Scary Sunday takes us back to the second Halloween episode of Bob’s Burgers featuring Gene (Eugene Mirman), Louise (Kristen Schaal), and Tina (Dan Mintz) getting trapped in their (admittedly awesome) cardboard fort on Halloween night along with Andy (Laura Silverman), Ollie (Sarah Silverman), and Daryl (Aziz Ansari) missing their chance to go trick-or-treating. Concentrating on making the kids a dragon costume, it takes quite some time for Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) and Linda (John Roberts) to notice the kids aren’t around.

Family Guy - Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Cheater

The Family Guy Halloween episode “Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Cheater” fits the show’s formula with Peter (Seth MacFarlane) doing something stupid (here breaking his neighbor’s pumpkin while attempting to steal it) without a reason or a plan, and a B-story of Stewie (MacFarlane) doing something crazy (here bringing his teddy bear to life to replace Brian after the pair have their latest tiff). Both stories have a Fall theme, although its ready just Halloween-ish trappings for the characters to get into their usual shenanigans.
