REBUILDING the MONOCULTURE (LISTENER CELEBRATION for Thanksgiving!) Nov 29, 2025

Show notes

In this raw, unfiltered three-hour-plus marathon straight from the heart—no script, no safety net, no second takes—Joe goes all-in on why he’s obsessed with the idea of a real monoculture, the shared cultural air we all used to breathe together that’s been deliberately shattered over the last decade, and how this show (with its 1.3 million warriors) is quietly becoming the seed of a brand-new one: a tribe that laughs at the same jokes, sees through the same lies, and marches toward the same horizon. Part love letter to the audience that’s turned his wildest dreams into inevitability, part victory lap now that every door in entertainment is swinging open, and part unapologetic blueprint of what’s coming next—from bigger stages and bolder projects all the way to the insane endgame of a full-blown amusement park—this special Thanksgiving episode is pure gratitude, zero brakes, and a promise that the best chapters are still ahead because you, the listeners, made the old rules irrelevant.

COMICS: The Flash: Iron Heights (Rogues Gallery One-Shot That Made them Terrifying!) Nov 26, 2025

Show notes

Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver’s brutal 2001 graphic novel that built the metahuman Alcatraz, birthed Murmur, Double-Down & others, and dragged Wally West’s world into the dark for good & for BETTER!

ANIMATED: Wreck-It Ralph – The Greatest Video-Game Movie Ever Made (Fight Me!) Nov 25, 2025

Show notes

Disney’s arcade-hopping love letter to 8-bit and 16-bit glory – packed with real cameos, zero condescension, and what we think must be the best depiction of what it actually feels like to live inside a game ever “rendered”.

CRITTERS CELEBRATION (That RARE Creature Franchise w/ SMARTS, MENACE & HUMOR!) Nov 22, 2025

Show notes

This week on Coolest Alive, we’re celebrating one of the wildest, weirdest, most unexpectedly enduring franchises of the VHS era: CRITTERS! From the scrappy 1986 original that won over Siskel & Ebert, to the bonkers Easter-egg massacre of Critters 2, to Leonardo DiCaprio’s first film in Critters 3, to the deep-space madness of Critters 4, all the way through SyFy’s Critters Attack!, Shudder’s A New Binge, and the two fan-made shorts keeping the Krite flame alive — we’re covering the entire saga. Horror, comedy, sci-fi, practical effects wizardry, bounty hunters, ham-eating murderballs… It’s all here. If you love creature features, cult classics, or anything truly alive, this is one you DO NOT want to miss.
