We are joined by comedian, gamer and master of Werewolf Live, Jon Gracey, for this monstrous Hallowe'en special, where Barry journeys through the south of France, Jon shares his favourite Thai film with us and Ben teaches us why tomatoes are not to be trusted.

There is WW2 military chocolate which was designed NOT to be too tasty, there are origin stories for names from Milk Duds to lollipops, and Josh has even created a candy-themed playlist for you all to enjoy - check it out!
