What's New At G-POP.net:
A Quiet Place - Melissa Minners reviews the horror film starring John Krasinski and Emily Blunt.
Excerpt: "When A Quiet Place hit the theaters in April, the movie received great reviews, but I wasn’t much in the mood to spend my hard-earned money on yet another post-apocalyptic horror film, so I passed it up. Recently, looking for something new to add to Horror Month at G-POP.net, I decided that I’d check it out. I never realized just what I passed up on!..."
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown - Melissa Minners Turns Back the Clock to discuss this holiday classic.
Excerpt: "I’m a huge fan of Peanuts and have been since I was a little kid. I’ve watched every animated feature, the animated television series, read the comic strips and compilation books, but I can’t seem to get enough of the animated holiday specials. One of my favorites is I'ts the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown...."

From the Desk of Natasia: Why I Hate Halloween - Natasia Minners reflects on why Halloween is her least favorite holiday.
Excerpt: "I don’t understand the big deal about Halloween. Sure, I like watching the leavesrustle around in the wind and there seem to be a whole lot of them at that time of the month. I love chasing them around…well, I pretend to chase them around, running back and forth in front of the window. But it seems like there is a whole lot of human activity on that last day of Octoberand I find it to be quite annoying..."
Reflecting on Halloween - A holiday tradition - Melissa Minners reflects on what Halloween means to her.
Excerpt: "Ah, Halloween, the eve of All Hallows’ Day(aka: All Saints’ Day), a day of religious festivities celebrated by many as the one day of the year on which spirits can make contact with the physical world. As kids, all we knew was that on October 31st, we got to dress up in costumesafter school and go from house to house, saying “Trick or Treat!” and walking home laden with goodies. If we were lucky, Halloween fell out on the weekend – twice the time to go Trick-or-Treating meant twice as many treats. As Halloween roles around again this year, I begin to reminisce on Halloweens past..."
Peppermint - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the new vigilante action film starring Jennifer Garner.
Excerpt: "...That explained quite a bit for me as I was wondering where all the action was, forgetting that there is a great deal of emotional trauma suffered by Riley. Of course, Franglen would create music that expressed Riley’s anguish at her loss through pianos and strings, as noted toward the middle of Drive By Shooting. Her anger and shock at the lack of justice is evidenced through the bass and low strings in These Men Killed My Family, but there’s a hint of a synth edge here and there that are a sort of foreshadowing of things to come..."
