Trump is playing with nukes.
My brother Ryan joins me to discuss ways to better enjoy the much-maligned "Halloween: Resurrection." In the process, we also discuss plot holes in horror, multiverses, the iffy nature of Freddy and Pennywise's powers, gasoline in The Walking Dead, and the importance of suspension of disbelief.
Today we’re revisiting the Granada Television series The Return of Sherlock Holmes, beginning with Season 1, Episode 1: “The Empty House.”
Talking about Phantasm — the 1979 cult horror film that might be the strangest franchise starter of its era.
In 1820, a whaling ship set sail from Nantucket, chasing profit and prestige into the far reaches of the South Pacific.
What its crew found instead… was terror in the shape of a 90-foot monster from the deep.
This is In the Heart of the Sea — the true story that inspired Moby-Dick, brought to the screen by Ron Howard in 2015.
Today we’re diving into one of the most well-known tales in the world — Little Red Riding Hood.
It’s the Fourth of July. A dark coastal highway. Four friends, a secret, and a man with a hook.
I apologize for veering off into so many tangents in this review, but this movie and nostalgia are such a winding road! Let me know if my rambling review is too confusing.
You ever watch a movie that feels like it could actually happen — and that’s the scariest part?
Today, we’re talking about I Care a Lot, a 2020 dark comedy thriller from J Blakeson, starring Rosamund Pike, Peter Dinklage, Eiza González, and Dianne Wiest.
(IMAGE: File photo of Stephen Miller...okay, it's actually from the movie "Salem's Lot," but still reminds me of Stephen Miller, even though Miller is nowhere near as cool as an actual vampire...)
EPISODE PREMISE:
Robert De Niro didn’t mince words when he said of Stephen Miller: “He’s a Nazi, yes he is, and he’s Jewish. He should be ashamed of himself…”
In turn, Miller replied on fascist propaganda network FOX News with: “Robert De Niro is a sad, bitter, broken old man who is mostly enraged because he has not made a movie worth watching in at least 30 years…”
Today, we’re talking about The Purged: The Vanished Voters of Trump’s America, a 2020 short documentary directed by
David Ambrose and narrated by Debra Messing. It’s just 14 minutes long, but it packs a punch—because it shows how millions of Americans, especially people of color and young voters, were wiped from voter rolls in key battleground states.
On June 13th, 2025, Israel struck more than a hundred sites across Iran — nuclear facilities, missile bases, command centers. The operation had a name that sounded almost mythic: Rising Lion.
Within hours, air raid sirens wailed over Tel Aviv and Jerusalem as Iran fired back. Israel called it “its darkest day.” But for one man, it might have been a turning point — even salvation...
Today, we’re talking about a puppet… no, not just any puppet—America’s favorite sarcastic alien. That’s right. We’re taking a look at ALF’s Hit Talk Show, the series you might not even remember existed. And specifically, its very first episode, featuring Drew Carey and Dennis Franz.
Today’s episode: Industry, Power, and the Immense Human Cost.
Could this be my worst, most random episode yet? I offer a rambling review of a French charity single from the early 2000s. Listen to me butcher French pronunciations!
In this episode, I discuss JD Vance, the Vice President of these United States, defending some Republican Nazi punks after their texts were leaked. I'll discuss why their supposed "jokes" are not funny, especially in light of their proximity to power. I'll also discuss the tech goblin known as Peter Thiel, and also JD Vance's buddy and another PayPal and co-founder Ken Howery, and how Howery might be tasked with stealing Greenland and putting it into Trump's greasy and greedy clutches.
Today, we’re talking about a band that managed to revitalize funk as a musical form, crash Spotify’s business model, and sell out Madison Square Garden — all without a record label.
This is the story of Vulfpeck — the internet’s favorite funk band.
The episode image is a moment from the music video itself. Steamy and creepy! (Sex sells, baby!)
Today we’re heading to Osaka, Japan — home of one of the wildest, loudest, most unpredictable bands to ever exist: Boredoms.
There are times when obedience makes sense. Not just to keep some authority from putting a bullet in your brain, but because— well — sometimes, following direction is actually the wiser move.
So this episode is about discernment. When should we rebel, when should we obey (or listen)?
Welcome back to the show. Today we’re diving into something both abstract and deeply real: the strange way that human beings hand over their lives, their communities, and their identities to symbols, systems, and structures that are — when you really think about it — completely made up.
