If you forgot, this show takes a Futurama episode and thematically pairs it with an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, which works surprisingly well.

Michael has been locked in a garage by a mysterious editor and forced to watch and respond to last week's movie trailers. He's been eating sawdust exclusively, poor guy. Welp, there doesn't seem like there's anything we can do here. Enjoy the show!

A classic movie bean pod. This time around David Bell joins the conversation where the beans discuss the legacy, maneuvers, and storytelling of the OG Alien. We decided to do this after we all had contentious thoughts on Alien:Romulus. So consider this round two! Facehug!

It's good though, so if like 50 - 85k of you and your pals could roll through and watch (or listen on Spotify if you prefer your pods audio-only) it'd really help him out. This episode, Swaim is joined by Danielle Radford of Dimension 20 and Honest Trailers to discuss the origins of the torrid romance novel, comedy of Buddy Hackett and Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam!

Recent indie hit Blue Prince, a game developed by one person over 8 years, was also a critical darling. This podcast, a listening experience developed by two people over one hour, is what you’re listening to. Hey, maybe you’ll be our critical darling. Or not. Jeez.

Our three co-hosts are stuck in the multiverse and need to get back to their home universe. Clearly, the only way to do that is to explore our cultural obsession with multiverses, alternate timelines and parallel worlds, and tie it all into a conversation about post-modern art, pop culture, and the lessons these stories teach us. Also, each episode, one of them is an asshole who will probably sabotag...

This episode covers 1985’s Cat’s Eye, an anthology of three stories: “Quitters, Inc,” “The Ledge,” and “General.” Two stories about humans being horrible and one story about a tiny goober being horrible. Michael and Abe are there. You’re there. It’s the podcast.

Obsidian Entertainment (of Fallout: New Vegas fame) gave us a new single-player action RPG in early 2025. The hosts played it and then they recorded their thoughts for an hour. This is that. You are listening to that.

Swaim here! I'm one of the beans, I forget which. Anyhow, I'm just letting y'all know that the trailer dropped for my new Cracked podcast, available in both audio and video form once it is. The first episode drops JUNE 1st on YOUTUBE and SPOTIFY and will be all about The Monorail Song and the musical that inspired it, The Music Man. Then throughout June we'll unpack the things inside The Music Man, like Elinor Glyn, Omar Khayyam, large-scale cons and mass hysteria. It's a goo...

Our limited series with co-hosts Abe Epperson and David Bell digs deep into the internet meme of the “dad movie.” We can all probably name a dad movie, but can we isolate the tropes that really make this a bona fide film genre? Let’s find out!

The boys watched The Electric State (2025) which recently premiered on Netflix. It’s almost a state of the union of how America bottles up revolution and sells it back to us in corporate packages. Is this detrimental to art? Is the commoditization of art bad? Or is it just an American enterprise that creates fun films that pass the time?

First off, apologies for the flutter in Abe’s voice. It’s not a recording error, he’s just so moved by the conversation he is on the brink of tears.
1989’s Little Mermaid is the movie! Abe and Michael talk about the songs, the illogical characters, the backward attempt at progressiveness of the tale, and the importance of the film.

Michael made his longest and most carbonated New Cracked yet, so pop it open and listen to the refreshing hiss of someone nerding out about Arrested Development at a professional level! Watching this epic-length essay has the bonus knock-on effect of helping ensure his Cracked job gets reupped for another month. Do the right and humorous thing here folks.
