Can we please stop low-effort Halloween costumes?
Do you hear that? Something wicked this way comes鈥� and by that, Raven and Joel mean a man who鈥檚 wearing a rubbish Halloween costume, carrying a blue bag of booze.
The boys think it鈥檚 time everyone stepped it up a gear. Hear their fundamental Halloween outfit rules, and please do adapt accordingly.
Plus, horror-lover Raven has some hauntingly good films you should watch this weekend. But remember, horror isn鈥檛 just for Halloween - it鈥檚 for life. And death.

Is It Gets Worse a Gen Z Girls?
Last week brought us the news about Girls returning - and it鈥檚 apt timing, given the release of new show It Gets Worse by friend of Lena Dunham, comedian Leo Reich. It follows three friends - deeply un-self-aware Ethan, people-pleaser Abi, and the slightly uptight Sam - as they traverse the trials and tribulations of London in their mid-20s.
It鈥檚 already had a very sexy viral moment featuring Andrew Scott, and actual Zadie Smith serves as the show鈥檚 narrator - but which acclaimed British comedian blew Raven and Joel away with her moments? And is it time UK comedy got used to 鈥淔leabagging it鈥�?

But who鈥檚 the fourth? Raven and Joel have their theories - including one incredibly close to home.

Plus; is turning a wine bottle upside down rude; hear how Joel has freaked out the entire nation, including iPad Jane, with his plane pant pursuits; why Amelia Dimoldenberg has caught heat from the boys for dressing like Paris Hilton; and Raven and Joel pour one out for the latest murdered Faithfuls in the Traitors.
Raven and Joel are back next Thursday.
