A Pinky and the Brain Halloween

The Brain tries to take over the world at Halloween and is so frustrated that he can’t take over the world that he would sell his soul for it! Suddenly Mr. Itch, a proprietor of lost souls, enters and offers the world in exchange for Brain’s soul. The Brain isn’t impressed and refuses. Pinky however wants to help Brain so gives Mr. Itch his soul so that Brain can rule the world.

The Brain then gets to rule the world but Pinky must go down to Hades. The Brain quickly realizes that he must go down to rescue Pinky! (Who else will show him where the food pellets are?)

This story features the late Garry Marshall as the voice of Mr. Itch and a lot of references that might go right over your head!  The hosts also share some behind the scenes information from Kirk Tingblad and Charles M. Howell IV. How many water towers will this episode get? Listen to find out!
