On this episode, Jeremy Weed makes another Halloween appearance to help us tackle a hefty topic! The three of us talk programming blocks, bumpers, graphics, sitcoms, and holiday specials TV stations big, small, local, network, or cable would produce to present as a package celebrating spooky season! All these things, plus, Count Uli and crew confront Chad Alucard and demand he leave Uli's castle. However, the group realize Chad is not all he appears to be. We send the season off talking about 90s Halloween Television this week on the Radkast!
On this episode, we continue with week four of the Radkast Five Weeks Of Fright!

However, after a visit from her eccentric Grandmother, she finds out a family secret that shows her she's more special than she realized! After following their grandma back to a land of Witches, Warlocks, and other amazing creatures, it takes Marnie, her two siblings, and their disapproving mother to help Grandma stave off a looming threat that casts a shadow over her whimsical home!

It's up to him, his sister Dani, his crush Allison, and a talking cat named Thackery Binx to send the dreaded Sanderson sisters back to their graves before the trio can complete some 300 year old unfinished business! Before all of the that, Uli's hope for a more permanent dwelling quickly ends up being a very short stay! It's the movie that is top of the heap every Halloween season, it's Hocus Pocus this week on the Radkast!
On this episode, it's week two of the Radkast Five Weeks of Fright 5!

Not to mention, Count Uli seeks the help of Count Boris and the Vampire Counsel to get his castle back. However, there's one major snafu that throws a wrench in his plans. All these things and, wouldn't you know it, so much more with the return of the Halloween edition of the Six Mix this week on the Radkast!
Five Weeks of Fright is finally here! This year, we start off the 5th edition of our annual celebration of the spooky with the classic story of Casper the ghost and his journey to find a friend.

Just before September closes, we're bring you a quick bonus episode right before we kick off Five Weeks of Fright! Joe Gilbert stuck around to help us discuss a missed opportunity Saban could've had with Super Sentai, we have some ideas on how social outrage over media can be curbed, and we continue to believe the message of the Power Rangers; ultimate good will always conquer evil. All those things and a few more topics here in this bonus episode of the Radkast!
This week on the show, we revisit the world of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers! On this go around, we talk again about the general phenomenon and merchandising juggernaut The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was, and track how that transitioned into the marketing mania of the movie! We discuss the McDonald's campaign and the two Happy Meal tiers, some surprising disappointments, and even have a few suggestions of what could've helped some of the marketing. You know...from an amateurs perspective. All those things, and a metric ton more, as Joe Gilbert takes his place in the 5-Timers Club and helps us talk the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie Marketing this week on the Radkast!
This week on the show, Summer is behind us, and as we look to the fall, our buddy Derek Gove returns to talk about the method he and his brother had for trying to beat one of the Sonic games, his memories with LAN Parties and couch co-ops, and he almost forgets to talk about one of the more formative, and instrumental, gaming franchises of his youth! Our discussion yielded those subjects, and oh so much more, for this edition of Gamer Guy-des this week on the Radkast!
This week on the show, it's the finale of Radkast 90s Summer! On this episode, we talk a beloved movie, a sweet, sincere hero, and once again, the ever so charming Brendan Fraser!

We're back after a two week hiatus, and we soldier on with the Radkast 90s Summer! In the penultimate edition of the series, we revisit a film that was constantly in our Movie rotation when we were kids! It's the tale based on a comic strip about a well-meaning, rambunctious, and precocious child and his adventures terrorizing his elderly next door neighbor, with a terrifying, theving drifter thrown in for good measure! No matter the lack of discipline or parental supervision, Dennis Mitchell remains a charming and lovable scamp! Its Dennis the Menace this week on the Radkast!
This week for RK 90s Summer, we revisit a film that not only celebrates it's 35th Anniversary in 2025, but was also a childhood favorite of ours! It's the well beloved and oft quoted tale of Arnold Schwarzenegger interacting with and teaching Kindergartners. There's obviously more to the story, but such an odd premise is pulled off so wonderfully. Although it is often times mis-categorized as a children's movie, and more times than not, has a darkness to it, it still remains a bonafide classic enjoyed by people of all ages to this day! It's not a tumor, but it's definitely Kindergarten Cop this week on the Radkast!
This week on the show, we wheeze a little juh-uice! 90s Summer rolls on as we talk a film that is a pure, un-adulturated time capsule of the early part of the decade! It has an excellent soundtrack, an off-the-wall premise, an endlessy charming Brendan Fraser caveman, and Pauly Shore's weasel persona hitting big at just the right time!

This week for The Radkast 90s Summer, we talk about an unsung hero in world of Sports movies! It's a movie that had an outlandish premise, but balanced it out and kept it grounded by showcasing some of the best shot and most realistic Baseball ever put to film. Even if you aren't as instrested in accuracy in your Baseball movies, theres still enough charm to keep you endeared to it. It's Little Big League this week on the Radkast!
This week on the show, we launch a new series with one of our favorite guests! For week eight of the Radkast 90s Summer, we revisit quite possibly the most 90's movie of them all, and definitely one of the biggest Summer blockbusters of the decade! Unlike when we talked about the film a few years ago, this go around we cover just about every bit of advertising that had Batman Forever slapped on it. We gush over the campaign itself, and try to illustrate just how big of an impact it all had on the film's success and how it set the standard for how Super Hero blockbusters would be marketed in the future! Strap in for an action packed thrill ride of a show, because Jeremy Weed is back to help us talk the Batman Forever Marketing this week on the Radkast!
This week on the show, it's week 7 of the Radkast 90s Summer! For this edition, we talk four junior highers sick of their typical Summer plans enlisting the help of an eccentric former drama teacher with a knack for disguises. When it's soon found out by their classmates that the friends were planning on financially fleecing their parents, and hiding away for their own Summer ruckus, a host other kids come along for the ride to go buck wild in their own little haven. Even with snafus and close calls along the way, the audience is in for a fun adventure of 90s wish fulfillment! It's Camp Nowhere this week on the Radkast!
This week on the show, Radkast 90s Summer rolls on with a sequel we used to watch constantly! So much so that we can't help but quote a bit and drop in a few audio clips here and there!

Along the way they meet a kooky roadie, encounter a conniving record producer, and a sexy married woman has the hots for Garth.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll hurl...again as we talk Wayne's World 2 this week on the Radkast!
This week, we roll on with the Radkast 90s Summer! On this edition, our sister Samantha Kennedy returns to help us talk a film with charming, quirky characters and a killer soundtrack! A movie whose entire aura is a prime example of how younger generations romanticize the 90s...and we're not saying that's a bad thing! A rag tag crew, middle fingers to "the man" and that iconic spot where music is king. It's a bona fide cult classic, it's Empire Records this week on the Radkast!
This week, we continue with our coverage of Season 6 of The Simpsons!
