The opening music to the Water Cooler Podcast clues you in to one of our main topics this week. David Gordon Green’s Halloween returns to theaters, breaking box office records for the series. Premiering at the 2018 Toronto Film Festival, Halloween has also been warmly received by critics thanks, in part, to its female power narrative. But does that shift work for die-hard fans of the series? We talk about our reactions to the film and discuss the possibilities for future, inevitable sequels.
Additionally, Clarence finally saw The Wife. We talk about reactions to that film and Glenn Close’s chances at Oscar glory.
On the TV front, we’re wrapping our ridiculously early look at the 2019 Emmy race. Prepped for the biggest shake up of all, the Drama Series race enters the 2019 Emmy season with several major contenders potentially absent. We talk about what nominees are likely to repeat and what returning series will make it in. Finally, what new series, currently airing or future dated, stand the best shot at entering the 2019 Drama Series race.
We close our podcast, as always, with the Flash Forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.

Thanks for updating the contender tracking!!
Hey, no problem! You do realize this is the Golden globes TV predix right? Sorry it took so long.
Yes! At first I was like “Why is The Americans still on the list??” and then I realized it was for the Globes. Thanks again!
Do I need to see HALLOWEEN in the theater? I mean I normally don’t see horror movies at the cinema, but if it’s monumental for some reason, like if it could possibly be the last one, then maybe I need to go?
You can wait for video, and it won’t be the last.
