Before Nicole and Cole get to discussing Lost Highway (a.k.a. one of the most cursed things ever made) for two hours, Nicole shares a funny Instagram account that made her laugh so hard she drooled on her phone.

Black Adam, or To Egg Fu, Thanks for Everything

He was chosen by the Wizard Shazam as a baby boy, messed up his head and even changed the hierarchy of power. More like Brap Adam as the gang dive into The Rock's attempted takeover of Warner Bros.

[TEASER] Goatse to the New Dimension

We delay having to have a conversation about Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time by positing a new hypothetical nobody else in the world has ever considered: what if goatse was a portal to another dimension?

Halloween Special: The Evil Within, or Poop Pilled (feat. Thomsen)
Thursday Oct 30, 2025
Thursday Oct 30, 2025
Happy Halloween everybody! Here's our scariest offering yet: a failson vanity project by a Getty scion who did so much meth it ultimately killed him
Friend of the show and man who was not torn apart by dogs on October 26th 2025 as foretold by Afroman, Thomsen (@mood_probiotic), joins us to talk about 2017's The Evil Within (original title The Storyteller), the first and last film by Andrew Getty, brought to you by decades of billionaire psycho familial trauma and an insane amount of meth. Starring real actors and shot with a real production budget in the early 2000s, The Evil Within is a movie about a mentally disabled man who is tormented by his evil mirror double Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes) into doing a Son of Sam style serial killing to open his own personal Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. It's like if Tommy Wiseau had 20% of David Lynch's artistry and sleep paralysis every night of his life. Plus, Thomsen tells the most insane story ever shared on the podcast.

Top Gun: Maverick, or Take My Gay Away
Thursday Oct 16, 2025
Thursday Oct 16, 2025
This week on the pod your three favorite shithead haters find another thing to tell you sucks. Only this time, it's a movie everyone loves: Top Gun: Maverick, the sterile, Lockheed Martin sponsored legacy sequel to Tony Scott's (RIP) 1986 Air Force recruitment blockbuster that's equally as jingoistic but lacks the benefit of pure eighties cheese. We're mass issuing "fell for military propaganda" awards to people who should have known better but got caught up in the Cult of Tom Cruise, the sense we could finally go back to Normal under President Biden, and the desire to see some kind of sign that the "movies are BACK" after COVID. Nicole's not falling for it. Stu's plane autism was annoyed. Cole thinks its mid.

Jurassic World: Dominion, or Now This Just Happened
Thursday Oct 02, 2025
Thursday Oct 02, 2025
Friend and critic Jake Tropila, bravely joins us to talk about the third Jurassic World movie, which is the sixth Jurassic Park movie, in which the fist film's septuagenarian cast is reunited to putter vacantly around a lab looking at big grasshoppers. Meanwhile, in Malta, Chris Pratt does the "talk to the hand" at every dinosaur he meets and it works for some reason. It's a cavalcade of bad performances, bad direction, and terrible xillennial writing.Thank you to Jake for joining us on this Odyssey into Crap. You can find his writing on inreviewonline.com.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, or Death at a (Wakandan) Funeral
Thursday Sep 18, 2025
Thursday Sep 18, 2025
Pulp month comes to a close and we get back to business as the gang discusses Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Disney and Ryan Coogler's brief Eulogy for Chadwick Boseman and the over-two-hour postscript in which they desperately cast around for replacements for all the guys that retired before Covid. An origin film for not only a new Black Panther, but a new Iron Man Jr. and completely revamped "Namor: The Sub-Mariner", they could've called it Ironheart Origins: Latinx Wakanda. Other discussions include: The contradiction between an idealistic power fantasy and anti-colonial politics, the friction between Coogler and Disney, US diaspora politics, the limits of MCU worldbuilding, murkovision, and more!
