Best Of Black Friday!

We hope you all had a safe and turkey filled Thanksgiving. Normally each year we do a bit on the show talking about all of the exciting Black Friday deals that you need to rush out and get ASAP, however, with the plague going on and 2020 being 2020, it didn't seem like a fun idea to encourage people to go out shopping. We have put together our previous 4 years worth of Black Friday deals and related games in one episode for you to enjoy why you stay safe at home. 

Ep. 255 - The Year of Animation: Chicken Run (2000)

This week we continue our journey through the Year of Animation by looking at our first Claymation feature: 2000's Chicken Run. When a group of hens realize their days are numbered, they look for any way to escape their farm. Along comes Rocky, a rooster that looks like he has figured out how to fly...

Before we get to discussion of the movie (about 55 minutes into the episode) we also talk about our weekend watches, including a brief talk about The New Mutants, and a story about a brawl for some burgers.

Have a good and safe Thanksgiving!

Ep. 254 - The Waffle House Theory!

This week we solve the age old mystery of what happened to the dinosaurs, Wonder Woman is coming home for the holidays, of course we talk more about the Mandalorian, there's a bacon flavored beer out there, and we go ghost hunting with Amazon Prime's Truth Seekers and enjoy walking the line between humor and horror, and we have a quiz about toilets (please send us our podcast Emmy now, thanks). 

Ep. 253 - Trailer Trash!

This week we talk about our post election fatigue, going to doctors, and not feeling welcome at gas stations. Also some people are upset that a puppet ate some fake eggs, Alex Trebek has passed away and 2020 just keeps getting sadder, century old statue got an unfortunate facelift. We discuss a brief history of movie trailers, what they are supposed to do, what makes a good trailer, and we talk about some of our favorites. Finally, Steve beta tests his new Buzzfeed quiz on Paul. 

Ep. 252- Creepshow: Animated Special!

This week we talk about our very different Halloweens, we say goodbye to a legend, Clive Barker is back to raising some hell, pumpkins grow scary big, and we end our SpooOooOOOooky month of animation by looking at the recently released Creepshow Animated Special and it's two twisted tales, and how we feel about the 'motion comic' aesthetic, and Steve has to figure out which Are You Afraid of the Dark titles are real or fake?

Ep. 251 - ParaNorman! (aka Ow! My boobs!)

This week Apple has the Great Pumpkin, Quibi is Quibye, a young girl pulls a sword out of lake and will now rule us all, we continue our SpOOoOooOOOoky month of animation by looking at 2012's ParaNorman with Norman seeing dead people and us seeing a wonderful and funny film, and Steve then tasks Paul with determining which animated Halloween special is real or fake. 

Ep. 250 - Treehouse of Horror III, IV, V!

This week we talk about what we did on over our birthday weekend, what cool stuff we got, and how we got to see a large baby in a theater, Dexter is coming back and Steve isn't sure how he feels about it, Tremors gets a small documentary about some very big graboids, not all heroes wear capes when they steal a school bus, and to continue on with our SpOoOOooOooky month of animation we dig into some early editions of the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror and talk about how what was once a weird one off became an institution of the franchise, and Steve picks out 2020's hottest Halloween costumes. 

Ep. 249 - Monster House!

This week we kick off our SpOOoOOoooky animated Halloween month by checking out 2006's Monster House. We also discuss the loss of Eddie Van Halen, the loss of GLOW, the addition of an Electro, and there is a Monster Mash brawl at the end. So grab some empty bottles of Mountain Dew and have them at the ready for this episode. 

Ep. 248 - The Year of Animation: Persepolis (2007)

This week we continue our Year of Animation by looking at the semi-autobiographical work about the life of Marjane Satrapi with 2007's Persepolis. This film tells the story of Marjane growing up in Tehran, Iran during the late 70's amid the Iranian Revolution and how she grew into womanhood under an oppressive new regime. This film is full of thought, heart, humor, and sadness and is worthy of watching. We try our best to do it justice with our discussion. Also, we talk about parrots that swear a lot (unrelated to the film but fun). 

Ep. 247 - Strange Brew!

This week Snyder's complete film isn't as complete as he let on, we can see John Cena as Peacemaker, Dreamhaven is where a lot of people are going after Blizzard, we crack open some Elsinore beers and talk about the very Canadian adventures of Bob and Doug Mackenzie in 1983's Strange Brew and Steve has to guess which craft pop culture beers are real or fake.
