Shaun the Sheep's Halloween Horror Spoof, and a New Daniel Movie

Brian catches up with Adam Holz of Plugged In for a lighter Friday roundup. They discuss Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom, a Halloween-themed stop-motion comedy spoofing classic horror tropes when a hair-growth tonic turns a bald farmer into a mistaken "monster," with a same-gender couple briefly appearing and some content notes for younger or sensitive viewers. Adam also reviews Daniel and the Fiery Furnace, the latest in a wave of biblical dramas following the success of The Chosen, praising its effort to set up the broader biblical context before diving into Daniel's story in Babylon, while noting the usual minor artistic liberties common to the genre. They close with Adam's personal recommendation for a rainy day double feature: the World War II films Pressure and Nuremberg.
