“This is prom. Let’s all just be nice and forget the past.”

Welcome to our sixth annual Spooky-thon! This year, we’re covering 2000s era horror remakes, starting with this nothing-burger of a movie that somehow stars Idris Elba and James Ransone! We also go deep on Chris Columbus’s filmography, the other Norman McCormick horror remake, and the definition of the word ‘wassail’. Don’t miss it!

249 - Prom Night (2008)

“I want my money back. And I want angels to give it to me… and pixies to count it out… and a gnome or a hobbit or an elf to sleep at the foot of my bed, and have - I just want them all over my backyard. But no matter what happens with any of that, I DO want my money back!”

Our Sketch-tember theme month comes to a close as we chat about a quintessentially Tucker movie inspired by a recurring “Mr. Show” sketch and, along the way, discuss our favorite types of cake, our thoughts on John Kricfalusi and the art he inspired, and the storied career of David ‘Dave’ Koechner!

If we don't update these social media abound frequently enough for you, don't mind us. Y'see, we're a little drunk our own selves.

248 - Run Ronnie Run! (2002)

“Can I get you anything else? Grappa? Wine? Cappuccino? Tickets to a Lakers game? …cheesecake? Double-A batteries? Land in Montana?”

Sketch-tember continues as we discuss this disappointing cinematic effort from the famed Canadian sketch comedy troupe! Along the way, we discuss our histories with “The Kids in the Hall,” the reason behind this film’s signature lack of Dave Foley, which Kid in the Hall makes the best lady, and extended riffs on this release week’s box office offerings!

247 - Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy (1996)

“...are you mocking me?”

Sketch-tember continues as we discuss this ill-conceived vehicle for ‘80s and ‘90s sketch comedy impressionist icon, Dana Carvey! We talk about the correlation between Carvey and SNL costar Mike Myers’s views of comedy, Carvey’s spiritual SNL successor, who this movie is actually for, the oeuvre of M. Night Shyamalan, and more deep-cut Indianapolis-area talk!

We're kicking off our sixth season with a special theme month – SKETCH-TEMBER, a month filled with films featuring some of our favorite sketch actors and characters!

245 - Strange Brew (1983)

“Bob, I want all my Garmanbozia.”

It’s our fifth season finale! Few movies could do justice to such an austere and august occasion as the cinematic adaptation of one our favorite television shows! Join us as we discuss David Lynch’s unwavering sincerity, our “Twin Peaks” backstories, the reasons behind the absences of several key cast members, and how our opinions of this film have evolved over time!

244 - Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992)

“Kabukiman sanjo!”

With a new Toxic Avenger film on the horizon, we’re talking about another Troma superhero who, unlike Toxie, didn’t get a series of sequels! And, along the way, we discuss this film’s aggressively problematic nature and content, Tucker’s frustrations while driving in Indianapolis, our thoughts and histories with Troma films, our thoughts on theatrically-released Looney Tunes films, and Luis Guzmán’s status as a “that guy” actor.

243 - Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D. (1990)

“Don’t underestimate a straight white man’s propensity for violence…”

This week, after the release of Freakier Friday in theaters, we’re talking about this body swap slasher and, with it, the work of Christopher Landon, the fun of a well-executed genre mashup, this incredibly talented cast, and how nice it is to be reminded about how funny Vince Vaughn can be!

Cue the creepy dudes in the masks. Okay, so we’re not THAT creepy… and the masks are social media… I dunno, just give us a follow, why not?

241 - Brigsby Bear (2017) w/ Noah East (Straight Up 008)

“I don't take compliments well, but I get them all the time.”

The Naked Gun remake hits theaters this weekend, so we're taking a break from our regular schedule to rewind back to our Jim Henson theme month from 2022 when we talked about another cop comedy… but this one has PUPPETS! PLUS, we're joined by one of Stephen's former students, filmmaker Katy Doyle! (Don't worry - it gets awkward!)

REWIND 010 - The Happytime Murders (2018) w/ Katy Doyle

Join Stephen Foxworthy, Brett Wright, and Tucker as they dive into the specifics of those ’Franchises of One’ - films that were meant to kick off major film franchises... but ultimately failed to do so! Together they examine the people, properties, and potential of each ’failed franchise starter’ with wit and humor without ’punching down.’

Disenfranchised

Stephen, Brett, and Tucker talk failed franchise starters.
