The KoЯnkast
On this very special patrons-only presentation, the gang spends close to two hours deconstructing every single track from KoЯn's breakthrough 1998 record, Follow the Leader! Come for the chunky guitars, stay for the trips down the KoЯn Wikipedia Rabbit Hole, discussions about the gang's various relationships to Nü Metal, Andrew interrogating Chris over whether he owned a KoЯn t-shirt in high school, more chunky guitars, and even some positive things said about a few of the tracks...
2020-09-04 22:30:55 +0000 UTC View PostFrom the Vault: Trekmentary: Nemesis
This month, as an added bonus to our Belushi-tier patrons, we're digging up an oldie as we re-release our sync-able commentary track—the second one we ever tried to record!—for the abhorrent sci-fi failure, Star Trek: Nemesis! Why couldn't they just write Lore again instead of B-4? What's the Riker chest hair level at here? And really, a Picard clone? PLUS: This commentary was recorded ages ago and as such, we will now cue the Shredder, "They're babies!"
If you need to re-...
The Nexus #48 - "Obsession" / "Samaritan Snare"
On this month's journey into The Nexus, the gang chats about two incredibly different episodes of the beloved Star Trek franchise!
First on The Original Series, the episode in question is "Obsession," which originally aired December 15, 1967. This episode is Star Trek doing Moby Dick as Kirk searches for ::checks notes:: a big cloud? This episode features Kirk treating a new ensign like garbage, Spock and Bones wanting to relieve Kirk of co...
Episode 501 - Superman
On this month's exclusive We Love Movies episode, the gang keeps the Superman party going as they chat about the original classic, Superman! How fantastic are Christopher Reeve's TWO completely different and distinct performances in this film? How ridiculous are Hackman's wigs? And could this John Williams score be any more perfect? PLUS: Nick Nolte as Superman? It almost happened, and we have audio!

On this month's very special edition of the Gleep Glossary, the gang is chatting about one of the all-time greats, everyone's favorite Gungan—Jar Jar Binks! How many jobs has Jar Jar washed out of? How much of Phantom Menace's problem is Jar Jar's fault? And was Jar Jar really based on Goofy? PLUS: Wow, George Lucas really started sleeping on some of these character bios!

Animation Damnation - "Inspector Gadget"

The episode covered this month, "Monster Lake," originally aired September 13th, 1983 and features Gadget driving his car straight off a cliff, nearly killing several people, including his own family; Scottish people portrayed as weird, wordless aliens; Dr. Claw dispatching a robotic sea monster; Gadget terrorizing an elderly s...

The Nexus #47 - "The Deadly Years" / "Q Who"
On this month's edition of The Nexus, the gang deems it a no-contest win for TNG as they cover two Trek 'sodes—one hilarious, one historic!
First on TOS, it's the age-make-up-tastic "The Deadly Years." Originally airing December 8, 1967, this episode features Chekhov getting spooked by a dead body; Kirk, Bones, Spock, Scotty, and some nobodies aging rapidly, Kirk losing his mind in a sea of paranoia, and some sub-Jackass levels of age make-up!...

2020-07-30 15:38:16 +0000 UTC View PostFrom the Vault: Sucker Punchmentary
On a special From the Vault release, it's the WHM flashback commentary track, Sucker Punchmentary! Was Zack Snyder really saying something here or is it all just a pile of soggy towels? How about Oscar Isaac's period-inappropriate haircut? Could these cover songs be any worse? And how about that awful, awful soundtrack? PLUS: Listen in real time as Andrew experiences this hot pile of trash for the very first time as the guys all watch on in horror!

Gleep Glossary: A Star Wars Story #19 - Bib Fortuna
On this month's entry into the Gleep Glossary, Eric tells the guys all about Jabba's... aaaaaaah..... numba one guuuuuuuuy, Bib Fortuna! How did this fella get this cool job with Jabba? Was he literally hated by everyone in the galaxy due to his rotten personality? And can we get a NC-17 episode of The Mandalorian already? PLUS: The source material for this story is terribly, terribly produced!

2020-07-21 18:34:22 +0000 UTC View PostEpisode 495 - Raiders of the Lost Ark
On this month's exclusive We Love Movies episode, the gang gets together (virtually) to chat about one of their all-time faves, Raiders of the Lost Ark! Why couldn't they get a better Alfred Molina dummy? Did Lucas slide in a jab at William Hootkins with that character name? How bad-ass is Marion Ravenwood? And how come there aren't any .gifs of Dietrich's head exploding? PLUS: Mulder and Scully, but they're nazi paranormal investigators!

Animation Damnation - The Mask
This month on AD, the guys are chatting about the absolutely abhorrent cartoon adaptation, The Mask! The episode in question, "Mr. Mask Goes to Washington," originally aired September 24th, 1996 and features The Mask getting obsessed over crab tacos, saving the President's life, tangling with secret service agents, and illegally invading a fake South American country! PLUS: The President throwing out the first pigskin at a football game?

On this month's exclusive Sleaze the gang is chatting about the beloved 1980's Sleazy NYC Indie Horror—Basket Case! Why did Duane choose a huge, wicker basket over, say, a gym bag? Had anyone in this film acted before stepping onto set? And what legit New Yorker would ever recommend a tourist actually visit the Statue of Liberty? PLUS: Andrew and Steve's bizarre connection to this film is revealed—in full!

The Nexus #46 - "Friday's Child" / "Pen Pals"
On this month's journey into the Nexus, the gang is chatting about two pretty different episodes of Trek!
First up on TOS, it's the action-packed episode, "Friday's Child"! Originally airing December 1st, 1967, this episode features Scotty taking command of the Enterprise, Kirk and Spock stockpiling bows and arrows, and Bones helping Catwoman give birth!
Then on TNG, it's the Wesley-tastic episode, "Pen Pals"! Originally airing April 29th, 19...
Gleep Glossary: A Star Wars Story #18 - Salacious B. Crumb
On this month's journey into the Gleep Glossary, Eric tells the guys the tale of one of the grossest puppets in the galaxy, Salacious B. Crumb! So just how stupid was Salacious? What was it like being Jabba's court jester? And how many spelling errors does this book have? PLUS: Salacious B. Crumb hits the intergalactic comedy club circuit!

Animation Damnation - Scooby Doo, Where Are You?
On this month's AD, the gang is chatting about an incredibly outdated (read: racist) episode of the classic show, Scooby Doo, Where Are You? The episode in question, "Mystery Mask Mix-Up," originally aired September 19th, 1970 and features the gang trying to find a stolen mask that Daphne bought from a curio shop. During the course of the investigation, Velma and Fred search for clues, Daphne gets kidnapped, and Shaggy and Scooby pull one absolutely racist stunt tha...

It's finally here! One of the most anticipated commentaries in show history, available now exclusively to our wonderful subscribers... it's the CATSmentary! Listen now as we marvel at the disgusting character designs, awful decisions about how to animate mice and bugs, stupid cat puns, an auditorium full of cats getting dosed with drugs, a sad magician, a cat with a mustache and more!

Hi Everyone,
Clearly we put this month's dispatch out a bit quickly...here's some corrections.
Episode 489 will be The Mummy (1999), not from 2001 as previously reported.
Also, the Nexus section reported last month's episodes, the correct episodes this month are TOS: "Friday's Child" (s2, e11) & TNG: "Pen Pals" (s2, e15)
Oh, and Ted Koppel is...

Dispatch Forty Three, June 8th, 2020
Episode 488 - No Country for Old Men
On this month's We Love Movies entry, the gang is chatting about the Coen Brothers masterpiece, No Country for Old Men! How perfect is all the silence in this movie? Who asks to see a motel's room layout like it's a restaurant menu? And how incredible is Bardem here? PLUS: Dad road rage stories!
No Country for Old Men stars Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, Woody Harrelson, Kelly Macdonald, and Garret Dillahunt; directed by Joel & Ethan Coen.
A Side Order of Sleaze - Don's Plum
On this month's exclusive Sleaze, the gang is chatting about the infamous Hollywood mumblebore film, Don's Plum! It should be said that there was a second title screened for this episode, the absolutely fascinating New York Post documentary, The Curse of Don's Plum. It should also be said that this is of course a bit of a different angle for Sleaze, but hey, we had to put this discussion somewhere!
Both films are currently avai...
