Happy Spooktober! To celebrate the haunted season, Dan and Brian dive deep into adaptations of one of America's iconic horror stories: "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving. In addition to the centerpiece Tim Burton adaptation, Brian and Dan discuss the 1949 Disney animated film that's a part of The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, the Wishbone episode, and -- as a bonus -- the 1999 Hallmark movie.
Join as Dan and Brian debate the story's merit, ambiguity, and tonal shifts, rate a "Brometer" on each adaptation, find joy in the autumn cheer of the horror story, and answer "Is It Good?" for each version.
