    Halloween Movies You Won’t Believe Are Real

    25/10/2026 | 39 mins.
    Haaapppyyyy halloweeennnn you rats!! Or should we say, happy RAToweeeeen! In today’s Halloween themed episode we begin with a segment where Mel has to guess if the movie is a real Halloween film or a plot Sam has made up. Then we come up with some gay Halloween couples costumes off the dome, we answer a heinous hypothetical surrounding trick or treat and then of course, we sing, but what about you may ask … you’ll just have to watch to see.
    Thanks as always and see you on Thursday for another “Ratfood!”
    Love Mel and Sam xx

    Mel & Sam would like to acknowledge that Ratbag is being recorded on Stolen Land.

    The original custodians of this land have had a rich history of storytelling for over 65,000 years, and we pay our respects to the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation whose land we are recording Ratbag on.

    Treaties were never signed. Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

    Helloooooo darlings!!

    Welcome to your platter full of ratfood for the week! This week, Mel shares her complex feelings around it being the final week of the heathers tour, talking about what happens when you achieve your dream and it becomes your job, work life balance and from Sam’s POV, what it’s felt like to actually NOT have performed in a little while.

    Sammy also shares an outrageous story involving a dildo and a plumber, and we chat about unbelievable Air BnB hosts, AI chat bots and so much more.

    We will see you for another Ratbag on Monday, and wishing you love and cheese cubes wherever you are in the world this Ratfood day.
