Ep. 40: Soy Macho Jul 05, 2019

Show notes

It's just dudes this episode. Dudes sitting around, giving each other some good-natured manly shit, discussing toxic masculinity. Bill is joined by comedian / podcast regular Bryan Miller and too-long-gone Mike Fotis to chat about what the hell is wrong with men. (And right too. But mostly wrong.) Also a fine selection of horror movies are discussed, including HBO's reality-scary CHERNOBYL. Finally: a classic film starring young and unbroken Orson Welles. With Bryan Miller and Mike Fotis.

Ep. 39 Best Old Brains Jun 28, 2019

Show notes

Bill is joined by friends and classic MST3K vets Trace Beaulieu and Mary Jo Pehl to discuss the super-fun topic of aging! An honest but not particularly serious chat about getting older in the arts & entertainment world, and the world in general. Spoiler: it's really not that bad. Oww my knees.

Ep. 38: Localish Heroes TEASER Jun 21, 2019

Show notes

It's a loosey-goosey show this week! We mostly play with an interactive map showing who the most famous people are from every geographical area of the USA. Can Bill get over his bitterness about not making the map?? Also we revisit the excellent show Fleabag, now in its second and final season; descend into ursine madness with the Berenstain Bears; and Bill tries some domestic joy-sparking. With Brandi Brown and Shanan Custer.

Ep. 37: Candidate Beauty Pageant Jun 14, 2019

Show notes

Welcome to the Democratic Party presidential primary! There are 7000 candidates and it lasts forever. In this very special episode, Bill and Brandi consider EVERY SINGLE DAMN CANDIDATE who has announced before this sentence started being typed. So maybe not all, but a lot. A real lot. We parade them all before us and judge away. Judging is fun. But man, there's a lot of 'em. With Brandi Brown.

According to our old friend The Internet, it's hashtag Mental Health Awareness Month. Bill, Brandi and guest Bill Stiteler chat about their adventures in mental health care, the challenges involved, and what seems to work in addressing depression, anxiety, ADHD, and so forth! A stigma-free podcasting zone. Also: Stan and Ollie and... Rothschild? Plus a graphic novel about black Americans; a sitcom about Canadian farmers. And advice about genre switching. With Brandi Brown, Bill Stiteler.

Ep. 34: Sticking That Landing May 22, 2019

Show notes

GAME OF THRONES and AVENGERS: ENDGAME both just finished long-running stories set in complex fictional worlds. Were their last chapters satisfying? What makes for a good ending? Do time travel stories give you a migraine? What the hell was Bran's deal? Bill is joined by veteran podcaster and Funhouse producer Ken Plume to discuss the joys and pitfalls of tying up big, giant, really huge stories. An episode of geeky indulgence.

Ep. 33: Oh Hi, Greg! May 17, 2019

Show notes

Bill chats with Greg Sestero, a.k.a. Mark from legendarily bad movie The Room. They discuss the making of the movie, Greg's book on the experience The Disaster Artist (and movie of the same name), and the strange ways of Tommy Wiseau. Also: Greg's new movie series with Mssr. Wiseau, Best F(r)iends; his starring role in 1999's Retro Puppet Master; and his boyhood pitch to costar in a Home Alone movie. Bonus: Greg channels the spirit of Tommy W. for an exclusive interview!

Ep. 31: We Have Issues May 10, 2019

Show notes

Issues and only issues, mostly! Bill and Brandi are joined again by organizer and activist Erica Mauter as they try to look past the 137 Democratic presidential candidates and the narcissistic madman in the White House to focus on what actual policy issues the country should prioritize for 2020 and beyond. Also: black Game of Thrones fans and their #DemThrones live tweets; Minneapolis moped culture; and a recipe website even Bill can handle. Finally, we try to help a listener who thinks she may be DONE trying to find a life partner. With Brandi Brown and Erica Mauter.
