What was once a complex and varied month, October has lately turned into ONE THING: 31 days of HALLOWEEN. Well, frankly, we're sick of it. It's almost like YOU have to survive the month ITSELF! Pulling from the tropes of horror classics, Scott White breaks down the activities to avoid, the jobs to fear and the tunes to listen for. Also, get a heap of under-the-radar Horror Movie recommendations from a big time fan. Originally record October 23, 2018. Hail Satire! is hosted and produced by Vic Shuttee.

CHAPTER 9 – After a long vacation away from the silver screen, and brief pitstop on television, the Guest Next Generation tour stops somewhere a bit between with Mascots on Netflix. His first mockumentary film since 2003’s A Mighty Wind, and it is clear there are some cobwebs. Many new faces and recent additions in the main company, with only a few veteran making time to cameo. But with the first ever returning character, a pandora’s box of cinematic possibilities has forever been opened. As this is our final chapter to record – how will the Guest List wrap this up?

OCTOBER 18, 2018 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! The summer is here, but there appears to be some spring in the show’s step. There’s a killer headlines about the FBI and 9/11, the RETURN of Jon’s new favorite desk bit: WHAAAAAA? and the advent of the much-sought after Daily Show Board Game! But with Jimmy Kimmel returning to the couch, will the much publicized ABC brew-ha-ha rear an ugly head and send Jon spiraling. Or will it be the attractive female new anchor Jon fumbles talking to? Time will tell.

Conversation #174, recorded on October 16, 2018. Nobody is funnier right now than Anthony Atamanuik. After years cutting his teeth improvising on UCB stages and on the comedy 30 ROCK, he's broken into the mainstream with his spot-on impression of Donald Trump seen in his TRUMP VS BERNIE debate series, his Comedy Central vehicle THE PRESIDENT SHOW and now in the new book entitled AMERICAN TANTRUM: THE DONALD J TRUMP PRESIDENTIAL ARCHIVES. Get the book and catch the latest President Show special THE FALL OF DONALD TRUMP on Comedy Central! Hail Satire! is hosted and produced by Vic Shuttee.

CHAPTER 8 – When the film world seemed inhabitable, back from grave comes Guest and mockumentary format – this time taking to TV. While some might say this breaks the “Film By Film” mission statement, the 8 episode half hour comedy FAMILY TREE might really just be a long film without an editor. Piling new faces like Chris O’Dowd and Tom Bennett into the Guest-iverse, this wild shaggy dog road trip film sees Guest abroad and home again with heart and GREAT NAMES. Missing in action are Levy, O’Hara, Shearer and more – but can this next generation of faces fill the void?

OCTOBER 11, 2018 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! As we close out May 2002 and the summer slog looks ahead, its time to reflect and take stock of the show at present. Old and new faces embody a robust news team (the recently rebranded Problem Taker Awayers), and as the Stevphens sit pretty, Weedman and Walls battle it out for blonde supremacy. Plus, for the first time, Jon demands we see his final live-action big screen role in DEATH TO SMOOCHIE.

Conversation #172, recorded on September 19, 2018. Adrianne Frost is a comedian, writer, actress and one-time Correspondent for THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART! We chatted Adrianne up about her chicken impression, transferring her skills to the ensemble on LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIEN, the LAW & ORDER triple crown and the challenges of writing a book in the age of internet trolls. Hail Satire! is hosted and produced by Vic Shuttee. 

CHAPTER 7 – As A MIGHTY WIND plunged into crafting original folk tunes with vigor, Guest’s final theatrically released film decides to chart another course mostly foreign to his team of misfits: earnest drama! While Mitch and Mickey were heart-touching, the tragedies of Marilyn Hack, Victor Alan Miller and Callie Webb are whole new levels of gut-punches. Back in the familiar fishbowl of Hollywood, the dinner table is all set up for Purim and there are more mouths to feed than ever. In an exploded cast of dozens of familiar faces looking for screen time, has the Guest universe finally expanded beyond function?

OCTOBER 5, 2018 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! As Steve Carell returns to the studio, there’s a lot of correspondents fighting for screen time. First, Lauren Weedman stakes her claim to Steve’s A Trend Indeed, then Corddry returns for an outstanding leotard centric Spider-Man piece, resulting in his own death and even our intern is done away with as we welcome Poodly Vagan to the team. But if Steve is simply here to talk about Vanilla Coke – how can this not be the beginning of a Total Failure Bistro?

OCTOBER 4, 2018 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! Another week, another NEW correspondent as ED HELMS joins the ranks with a weak field piece wringing comedy out of lies about the 16th President. Plus, Jon goes for the heart in I On News, the NRA gets skewered and skeezy Colbert nauseating effect.

CHAPTER 6 – Where can the Team Guest go after being on top? Perhaps inward and to a more dramatic place, as the original music slides to the forefront earning Michael McKean an Oscar nomination for the best original song. It’s the somber tales of Mitch and Mickey, former lovers who return to a gala in folk music’s honor after years living separate lives. The Spinal Tap boys reunite for the first time exactly 20 years later as Guest, McKean and Shearer play it straight as the pickin’ funsters The Folks Men. But as the company grows and grows, are certain favorites bound for deleted scenes (Parker Posey) or an out-and-out improvised quarantine (Fred Willard)? HEY WHA HAPPENED – turns out this is our last big screen mockumentary?! Is an era ending before our eyes? The Christopher Guest List is hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType).

SEPTEMBER 27, 2018 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! Indecision 2002 FINALLY kicks off with coverage of … The French Presidential Race. So while Colbert smokes a cigarette and Jon fears the success of right-winger Le Pen, quietly Mo Rocca interviews a would-be congressional candidate who served time. Meanwhile Michael Clarke Duncan gets declared a good man, Steve and Nancy return with a mailed-in field piece from Hollywood and STACEY GRENROCK WOODS GETS HER FIRST WIN!

 SEPTEMBER 26, 2018 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! When the program needs a dire shot in the arm, HERE COMES CORDDRY! Sporting a tiny dollop of black hair, Rob Corddry comes on strong in studio as the smarmy, believable asshat that this show desperately needs. Could this be the end of Screw Ya Stephen Colbert? Does this mean Steve Carell is gone for good!? Plus, Other News hides, Colbert covers for the Catholic Church’s scandals and Lewis Black takes on Pork Barrel spending.

Conversation #173, recorded on September 26, 2018. Screenwriter Susan Busa and Producer Leslie Cidale are creating a feature film in Austin, TX and are looking for your help through Seed and Spark. We talk about musician Jack Ingram and how he impacted the characters of the film, producing a feature on a shoe string budget and the Hometown Heroes Rally that could lead the filmmakers to meet a Duplass Brother! Hail Satire! is hosted and produced by Vic Shuttee.

CHAPTER 5 – Back in the comfortable saddle of the mockumentary genre, Guest and Levy attempt to scale the Mountains of GUFFMAN once again with BEST IN SHOW. It’s bigger and debatably better as longtime collaborator Michael McKean returns to a family populated by returning faces (Levy, Parker Posey, Catherine O’Hara, Fred Willard, Bob Balaban, Don Lake, Michael Hitchcock, Larry Miller) and first timers (John Michael Higgins, Jennifer Coolidge, Jane Lynch, Jim Piddock)! Plus, plenty of charming pups, songs for terriers and an outrageous epilogue in what may be the best of Guest. Just don’t forget your Busy Bee!

Conversation #171, recorded on September 9, 2018. We've got Jeff Abraham on the horn and we're talking about the National Comedy Center in Jamestown NY, his vast personal vault of comedy known as the Abraham Comedy Archives and working with many greats including George Carlin, Jeff Foxworthy, Stan Freberg and more. Plus: Jeff pulls out great stories about Jerry Lewis, Dick Cavett, Milton Berle and teases his upcoming book on The Ritz Brothers. Hail Satire! is hosted and produced by Vic Shuttee. 

SEPTEMBER 19, 2018 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! Coming off the lowest week in the history of the show thus far, it is NOT a good sign when explore the depths of a Mo Rocca travel segment, a return of the Penis Puppet and (in a first) a farmed-out 11 minute docu-series featurting NO COMEDY AND PLENTY OF PORN STARS in PROJECT REDLIGHT. It’s gross and it ain’t funny – sorry Shandu. When oh when will April provide!?

CHAPTER 4 – Whether it was a cash grab or a savvy filmmaking challenge, Guest follows up the high highs of GUFFMAN with the stinking open pastures of ALMOST HEROES. With only his right hand man Levy journeying over to the land of mainstream 90s comedy with him, Guest is but a director for a Chris Farley + Matthew Perry vehicle parodying the expedition of Lewis and Clark to the Pacific Ocean. Will Guest’s history with sketch comedy raise the level of the broad, potty humor of Farley in what turns out to be his final film role? Or is this simply a classic case of taking that Hollywood money and running to your next indie darling?

SEPTEMBER 14, 2018 - It's THE DAILY SHOW WEEKLY, hosted by Vic Shuttee (@VicShuttee) and Chandler Dean (@chandlerjdean)! We’re just gonna say it – this may be the worst week of the show yet. Between dancing robots, new studies, inexplicably disconnected interviews (Fat Jonny likes foods, Paint a Bow Bow Red!), and Mo Rocca evokes 9/11 for no reason. Plus, Jon is terrified by David Brock, a man who knows too much.
