Raised by Rentals

100% More Christian Slater

Brian Kelly was just a skater-punk screw-up from Orange County until his brother became the victim of a deadly conspiracy. Obsessed with uncovering the truth, Brian got in too deep and his life would never be the same (or safe) again. So what do a vulgar radio pirate in Arizona and a teenage suicide bomb in Ohio have to do with it? Fellow Rad Panther Dawn D'Orazio joins Mike and Josh to connect the dots between the rebellious anti-heroes of GLEAMING THE CUBE, PUMP UP THE VOLUME, and HEATHERS!

Jay and Silent Bob Meet Frankenstein

After meeting God herself, the resident stoners of the View Askewniverse went to Hollywood to get revenge, get the girl, and get paid. Then what happened? For the first episode of RAISED BY RENTALS Season 3, we channel the spirits of Tinseltown's classic comedy duos to daydream a movie where JAY AND SILENT BOB meet FRANKENSTEIN!

The Year in Rear-View (Rental Rant)

It seems like a lot of content creators build their brands riding the coattails of actual creative people...and we make a whole podcast doing exactly that! So for our 11th RENTAL RANT episode, we turn the meta-spotlight on ourselves and take a look back at what we “made" in RAISED BY RENTALS SEASON 2.

Yule Perish

In an age of consumerism and forgotten traditions, sometimes people need to be reminded what Christmas is all about...whether they like it or not. To round out our spooky holiday season, our very own horror host Samm Grandquist from WNY Horror Krue and Jerry's Closet calls the shots as we conjure the spirit of the YULETIDE AVENGER!

Black Friday

For decades, the day after Thanksgiving in the US was a day for Xmas shopping, doorbuster bargains...and terrifying mob rule. But in recent years the tradition has declined, so in this episode we spitball a slasher flick to bring back the classic holiday horror of BLACK FRIDAY!

Pauly Shore’s Thanksgiving Vacation

From MTV VJ to leading man to Hollywood has-been, Pauly Shore has had one long strange trip of a career...but we thought we could make it even stranger. For our 2023 Thanksgiving special, we take the Weasel on a holiday road to a good ol' fashioned Griswold family VACATION.

Trick ’r Treat: Good to Eat

The residents of Warren Valley take Halloween very seriously and one trick-or-treater in particular makes sure the traditions never die...or else. For our 2023 All Hallow's Eve special, we lovingly contribute to the mythos with a fan-fiction sequel to TRICK 'R TREAT!

The Incredible Jason Returns

He was melted by toxic waste in the sewers of New York but still made it home in time for the next film...but how exactly did Jason get back to Camp Crystal Lake? With an episode that hearkens back to our first ever, we fill in the blank between JASON TAKES MANHATTAN and JASON GOES TO HELL!

Suffer the Children

When kids from their school go missing but the adults can't seem to do anything about it, Paul and his friends decide to take matters into their own hands. In the second episode of our FRIGHT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY DOUBLE PACK original series, we explore what happens when small-town America will no longer SUFFER THE CHILDREN.

Look Alive

Highschoolers have a lot to worry about, from homework to acne to lovers' lane. The last thing they need is an insatiable hunger for brains! For the first part of our FRIGHT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY DOUBLE PACK original improv special, we imagine what it would take for the walking dead to LOOK ALIVE.
