We're revisiting one of our favorite recent episodes with one of our favorite recurring guests as we talk about our histories with motor vehicles, our mutual dislike of Nick, and reckon with Paris Hilton and the “See Paris Die” campaign for this movie!

REWIND 011 - House of Wax (2006) w/ Ariel Powers-Shaub

“Houses don’t kill people. People kill people.”

Week Two of our 2000s-Era Remakes Spooky-thon is back in full force as we talk the late, great Phillip Baker Hall, the difference between the James Gunn and Zack Snyder takes on DC Comics movies, why this movie is quintessential 2000s horror, and the regrettable use of the IBG horror trope.

250 - The Amityvillle Horror (2003) w/ Evan Wilson

“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!

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!

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

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.
