 The latest *Now Playing Intermission* pulls back the curtain on everything happening beyond the reviews.

On this month’s episode Stuart provides a candid update on his health. He just underwent yet another surgery, but he’s back home and joining Arnie, Justin, and Jason to give you an update on his health (and if he has a chestburster!) It’s a harrowing tale still in progress as Stuart works to restore his quality of life.

On teh lighter side, the hosts then bring in a listener for a trivia showdown featuring *I Spit on Your Grave*, *Star Wars*, and an unexpected *Mortal Kombat* crossover question that sparks debate.

Arnie discusses finally launching the redesigned Now Playing Podcast website after years of planning, including new ways to explore the archive, staff picks, and curated movie recommendations. Jason introduces a new creative outlet turning films into atmospheric audio experiences, while Justin shares what he’s watching as *The Boys* heads toward its finale. A

rnie also recounts a recent trip to Pittsburgh, including a visit to the Monroeville Mall and its hidden horror museum packed with *Dawn of the Dead* artifacts.

Part conversation, part catch-up, and part real talk, is this a group therapy session? No! This is Now Playing Podcast’s Intermission!
