    Halloween Dad with Jordan Morris

    10/21/2026 | 1h 14 mins.
    Are 12-foot skeletons played out? What should you do if you want to go wild with Halloween decorations but you live on a “lights out on Halloween” street? What makes a successful Halloween costume? Are all scary movies fair game for Halloween movie nights, or does the movie have to involve the holiday? Judge John Hodgman answers these questions and much more, with Bailiff Jesse Thorn and special guest Jordan Morris (Marvel’s The Amazing Venom, Free With Ads, Jordan Jesse Go)!
    We’re always looking for disputes – especially from outside the non-nuclear family! Got (friendly) beef with a co-worker? Have an unresolved dispute from a housemate? A running argument within your group of friends? Submit yours here: maximumfun.org/jjho

    When Steve takes the dogs on a walk, he loves to give them treats on the road. But Abbey says the dogs are getting too chonky. She wants Steve to give frozen peas a chance instead. Steve says: mushy, half frozen peas are NO TREAT. Who’s right? Who’s wrong?
