On the Halloween edition of the program, Jon skips the tricks, but dishes lots of treats. The Muppets are coming to Atlanta to promote their new movie “The Muppets,” which opens in theaters Nov. 23. They’re making a special appearance at WWE’s “Raw,” which is broadcasting live Halloween night at Philips Arena. Jon talks to second-generation wrestler Cody Rhodes about the event. And since it’s our special Halloween show, we’ll be talking with author Rick Goldschmidt, who wrote the new book “Mad Monster Party,” which is all about the 1967 Rankin/Bass stop-motion or animagic movie featuring the most famous monsters of all time. Music comes from Billy Taylor, the Muppets and “Mad Monster Party.”

Jon is a huge fan of legendary comedian Andy Kaufman, who single-handedly changed the definition of funny in the ’70s and early ’80s. This week Jon tracks down the late performer’s co-writer, co-conspirator and close friend, Bob Zmuda. Zmuda is a writer, comedian, producer and director in his own right. He dishes some behind-the-scenes Kaufman tales on this week’s show. Does Zmuda think Kaufman faked his death? Listen and find out. And to celebrate the release of “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” on DVD and Blu-ray we hear from Johnny Depp and Keith Richards. The playlist features Andy Kaufman, Tony Clifton and the Stones.

Coming into the studio this week is Mike Snowden, the owner of Snowden Guitars. Snowden handcrafts guitars, but these aren’t just any guitars. These are made from cigar boxes. We’re also gonna be hearing from actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead. She stars in “The Thing,” the prequel to John Carpenter’s groundbreaking 1982 horror film of the same name. Jon dishes some pop culture news and spins tunes by Mike Snowden, Joe Tex and Men At Work.

This week Jon has a pair of super cool creative minds on “The Pop Culture King Show.” Ivan Ingermann, the costume designer for “Disney On Ice: Dare to Dream,” which runs Oct. 12-16 at Philips Arena, will be calling in. Ingermann is also a professor at the University of Georgia. We’ll also be hearing from Vince Waldron, author of the “Official ‘Dick Van Dyke Show’ Book.” The “Dick Van Dyke Show,” one of the greatest TV sitcoms of all time, is currently celebrating its 50th anniversary. Jon spins some music from Dick Van Dyke himself and others including Dr. John.

Jon kicks off the beginning of the Halloween season as Ben Armstrong, co-founder of the award-winning Netherworld Haunted House in Norcross, comes in the studio to tell us about what’s going bump in the night over there. And Jon finds out he’s not the only one who’s white and nerdy when the always awesome Weird Al Yankovic calls in on the Bat Phone.

It’s no secret that host Jon Waterhouse is a huge “Star Wars” geek. Since the “Stars Wars” Saga was recently released on on Blu-Ray, the force is extra strong with him at the moment. So this week Jon celebrates “Star Wars” on Blu-Ray with a review and guide to the set, lots of “Star Wars” tunage and an encore interview with C3PO himself, Anthony Daniels. Now George Lucas has always said that “Star Wars” was influenced by, among other things, “The Wizard of Oz.” Coming into the studio are two of the stars of the Broadway touring production of “Wicked,” Alma Cuervo and Mark Jacoby. “Wicked” plays at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta through Oct. 9.
