Bill Corbett's Funhouse

A follow up to Episode 59 a.k.a. White Supremacist Club. Bill and Brandi chat about the white people problem along with Kyle Tran Myhre, stage name Guante, a hip hop artist, slam poet, activist, and educator based in Minneapolis. With Brandi Brown and Kyle Tran Myhre.

Bill might be an expert in cheesy movies, but his wife Virginia is an expert in cheesy... cheese. Yes, Virginia Corbett is a for-real cheesemonger, a cheese expert for an actual living, and knows her profession well. She and Bill chat about the wonderful world of cheese, and how you might include it in your holiday parties and feasts. Plus lots of conversational diversions and distractions. A lactose super-tolerant show! With Virginia S. Corbett.

Bill interviews John Moe, author, radio host, mental health advocate and star of the late great show WITS on American Public Media. They discuss John's life in public media, including his popular podcast The Hilarious World of Depression and new book of the same name.

Christmas is rushing at us, full speed ahead. There's no stopping it! And since a previously scheduled episode had to be canceled at the last minute, Bill asked Bryan in to chat about the inescapability of Christmas and some of the movies, TV and so forth that come with it: good, bad, offbeat, from the classics to the obscure. Christmas randomness! With Bryan Miller.

Contemplating his next career move, Bill explores the wonderful world of improv comedy. Funhouse regulars and seasoned improv performers Shannan and Mike guide him through this potentially fulfilling and lucrative life change. Includes live audio improv! Yes, and they have fun. With Shannan Custer and Mike Fotis.

Bill interviews longtime MST3K and RiffTrax colleague Kevin Murphy about his early days, the early days of MST3K, early days in general. Note: this is the second time Kevin has been interviewed for the Funhouse podcast, the first time being back in February AND thus far the only instance of Bill absolutely messing up a recording! Let the record show that Kevin was gracious enough to try again.

Let's get shallow! Bill and company go off about their many petty grievances. And some small blessings, though not as many. A truly shabby, petulant little party. Also: Narcos! Great Korean movies! Woodstock '99! With Brandi Brown and Bryan Miller.

Bill interviews one of his favorite comedians and favorite people in general, Mr. Paul F. Tompkins. Besides being a brilliant stand-up, PFT is a a veteran of many great shows such as Bojack Horseman, Mr. Show, The Thrilling Adventure Hour, Comedy Bang Bang, Best Week Ever, plus his own podcasts including Spontaneanation and Dead Authors. They chat about Paul's early years, comedy, clothes, politics, therapy, and life itself!

Bill and some fellow white people discuss what the hell is wrong with white people, a.k.a. themselves. In the wake of a vicious, racist Trump rally in their city recently, they try to look hard at what white supremacy is, and get a glimpse past the White Matrix. Also: interesting stuff to watch including Gary Gulman's new comedy special, the show Derry Girls, and (maybe?) The Watchman. With Shanan Custer and Bryan Miller.

It's Halloweeeeeen so it's time to get spoooooky and use too many vowels! Bill and crew honor the scary season and talk about the stuff that frightens them, rational and otherwise. Includes terrifying things to watch like The Exorcist, Testament, and (*shudder*) Unsolved Mysteries! With Brandi Brown and Bryan Miller.
