It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for — we discuss the fabled Castle Freak. And we don’t do it alone! We do it with noted B-movie aficionado Joe Bob Briggs who you can also see on Shudder’s “The Last Drive-In.” Meanwhile, Dan asks salient questions about Grimace’s anatomy, Elliott denies all of Dan’s best bits, and Stuart fulfills his destiny.
MAX FUN DRIVE part TWO! We talk about The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, which Elliott chose for some baffling reason. Meanwhile, Elliott explains Richard Gere’s Mothman issues, Stuart reveals the scariest number of ghosts, and Dan takes the show off-road to an abandoned farm.
It’s MAX FUN DRIVE time, everyone! That means we’re putting out an extra episode on a week we’d normally take off and drink pina coladas or something. Instead we watched the Jennifer Garner revenge fantasy Peppermint, and hoo boy is it racist! Meanwhile, Elliott reveals his Mandela effect defense attorney strategy, Stuart gets lost in his thoughts, and YOU’RE NOT DAN’S DAD, JESSE.
We continue to exploit our vault of unreleased live shows, with this discussion of The Dark Tower, with special additional guest co-host, Hallie Haglund, the star of the show. And for those who don’t dig live shows, good news! Since next week is Max Fun Drive, we’ll be releasing an EXTRA EPISODE during a week we’d normally be dark. Everyone wins!
By popular demand, we talk about all the glitz and glamor that is… OSCAR!
We reached into our archives, all the way back to 2017, to bring you this performance taped at the Now Hear This podcast festival. Elliott’s not here (something about it being “too far to fly across the whole country for an unpaid gig, waaah waaah waaaah), but we’ve replaced him with guest host Ronny Chieng of Crazy Rich Asians and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Did we hold onto this so long, just to wait until Ronny was a BIG MOVIE STAR? Perhaps!
We don’t usually editorialize on our own show, but… this is a good one, guys. The gang got together in a hotel room after our Madison, Wisconsin live show to discuss Life Itself, one of the most baffling, and most pleased with itself movies ever made, about nothing less than THE HUMAN CONDITION. Meanwhile, Stuart explains the secret history of the Zales shadow, Elliott reveals God’s secret message to us via olives, and Dan suggests you just cover yourself in gum.
It’s Jason Statham and a giant shark. Whaddaya need, a roadmap? We discuss The Meg. Meanwhile, Dan reveals a surprising science fact about Meg Ryan, Elliott reveals that Swamp Thing is the ideal male body, and Stuart’s feet have a surprising superpower.
