Leprechaun in the Hood w/ Kumail Nanjiani (Classic) Oct 13, 2026

Show notes

Is Leprechaun in the Hood a movie so bad that it's good? It stars Ice-T and Warwick Davis, who are always bodacious. We got Kumail Nanjiani as our special guest, to help us put this horror flick to the test. Sure, these rhymes aren't that great, but this movie isn't exactly first rate. So try to contain your howls and shrieks, 'cause we have more spooky movies coming next week! (Ep. #22 Originally Released 11/01/2011)

Happy Birthday to Me Oct 09, 2026

Show notes

The 1981 teen slasher Happy Birthday to Me has a wild twist ending that you could never predict, but Paul, Jason, and June try nonetheless to make sense out of all the bonkers plot turns leading up to the reveal of the killer. Along the way they discuss how everyone in The Top 10 looked too similar, Ginny's inappropriate relationship with her therapist, if shish kebab is a romantic midnight snack, how Ginny has a bidet but not a toilet, and so much more. Plus, the gang debates if it's acceptable to pee in the shower. Mark my words, you won't want to miss this episode!
