Washington Irving\u2019s \u201cThe Legend of Sleepy Hollow\u201d is a foundational piece of American Literature whose influence is still being felt well over two centuries later as it continues to inspire adaptations. One standout came in 1999, when Tim Burton\u2019s Johnny Depp-led film took the tale in a new direction, changing major elements of the story. In episode 178, Luke & James get unseasonably spooky with this stylish 90s horror classic, but is it better than the original story?
