The League of Extraordinary Arnies

Harry Tasker thought spying on some teacher from Oregon was a standard Omega Sector operation...until he noticed he and John Kimble have the save face! For this new installment in the "Arnieverse," everyone's favorite KINDERGARTEN COP gets roped into a conspiracy of TRUE LIES.

Ernest Goes to Slasher Camp

If you can't beat 'em, SLASH 'em! Summer is the season for camps in the woods and the slashers they attract so it's the perfect time to revisit Freddy and Jason's Slasher Camp. For our 50th episode, we return to Crystal Lake to find out who will survive when ERNEST GOES TO CAMP!

Secret Origins Revealed! (Super Gushers)

Every hero has an origin story and every pop culture nerd has something that hooked them forever—a formative moment, an older fan who shared the sauce, or a rad item that blew their mind. In our latest SUPER GUSHERS installment, Samm Grandquist of WNY Horror Krue and Jerry’s Closet (@injerryscloset) joins us to share the stories that sparked our fandom obsessions.

Johnny 5 Is Still Alive

He escaped his original directive as a military war machine, had adventures in New York, and found a family...but whatever happened to Johnny 5? Podcaster General Dawn D'Orazio joins Mike and Josh to chronicle the fate of pop culture's forgotten A.I. hero in a what-if threequel to SHORT CIRCUIT!

Brain-slurping teenagers from beyond the grave! Special guest Samm from WNY Horror Krue and Jerry's Closet joins us to improv a totally rad sequel to Mike's all-time favorite flick, RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD!

Spider-Man ’95

Despite being one of Marvel's most popular characters, it took Peter Parker decades to get a proper big-budget movie...but what if it happened sooner? For Episode 46, Mike and Josh revisit the 90s to daydream a cast and script treatment for what would have been the first silver screen feature of your friendly neighborhood SPIDER-MAN!

Alien/Predator: Revengeance Rising

Happy Alien Day! In this second part of our first two-part special, we break down two of the best-ever sci-fi franchises film-by-film and lay out a retroactive blueprint of what Hollywood should have done with ALIEN and PREDATOR!

AVP ABCs (Super Gushers)

Horror and sci-fi fans of the VHS era had an impossible choice: Who's better, the Xenomorph or the Jungle Hunter?! So of course Hollywood cashed in and gave the fans what they wanted with canonical crossovers and bigger, flashier movies...to mixed reviews. For the first part of our first two-part episode, Josh and Mike the SUPER GUSHERS critique the dual-franchise films of ALIEN and PREDATOR!

Cobra 2: Assignment Miami Beach

Genre switches and mash-ups are always a good time, especially when it comes to the Hollywood badasses of the 80s and 90s. In this episode, Josh and Mike try to find Marion Cobretti's friendlier, squishier center with a PG comedy sequel to the 1986 action classic COBRA!

Whose Improv Is It Anyway?

Audience choice! We asked our friends and listeners to participate by submitting clichés, tropes, genres, styles, etc.--random storytelling elements for a blind challenge game. Because no one demanded it, Josh and Mike fire up the randomizer to improv a story in real time from your suggestions...and boy, is it a doozy!
