In 2009, S Michael Smith was cast in the art house/horror film “The Beast Pageant.”

In 2016, in celebration of Halloween and their 50th episode, Buddies In Space made fun of The Beast Pageant.

While drunk.

That’s right, folks, it’s our super-special interactive 50th podcast episode!!! We basically did a RiffTrax of S’Mike’s movie, and you get to follow along while watching it. The movie is free to stream on Vimeo here.

Navigate to the movie and press “play” when prompted in the podcast to have the interactive experience of watching the movie with us in real time as we mock it/provide tons of production commentary.

Enjoy, and here’s to 50 more episodes!

The Buddies christen an amazing new drink entirely of Central American origin while applauding all that was Hardcore Henry. Like everything- the production, Sharlto Coply’s performance, the whole deal, all of it. Seriously, see the film.

Also: Funny true-life parenting improv scenes! Mike’s two-year search for the perfect station wagon! And the evils of Papa John’s!

And don’t forget, the next episode is the extra-special BIS podcast number 50!!!!

In this episode, the Buddies chug delicious non-alcoholic kambucha as they recall the funniest moments from the first Presidential debate, explore the love children have of dinosaurs and S’mike reveals a unique take on Mike’s parenting style.

Fairport Brewing Company!

The Buddies sip ghetto-chic Home Sweet Homes as they gush over the outstanding Kubo and the Two Strings and The Boy and the Beast.

Also covered: Mike’s crazy new computer monitor set-up! Favorite anime! Curved television rants!

Oh, and accents, too!

The Buddies knock back a veritable buffet of gin-and-soda combinations as they discuss their First World Problems.

They then move on to a hard-hitting investigation of the strangest and scariest drug side effects out there. Hey, it’s kind of educational!

Also: Political burn-out. Silent Hill dreams. And Humor!

The Buddies knock back an updated take on the Irish Buck cocktail as S’mike loses his $#!^ over No Man’s Sky. Mike mocks him extensively during this.

Also covered: The lack of feminism in The Killing Joke! Subjective media! Mouth orgies versus a dark alley rendezvous!

The Buddies brave the scariest of liquor, 56-proof Red Star Er Guo Tou Jiu, also known as “Chinese Jet Fuel.” The wives join them to take reaction pictures (it’s a thing, apparently).

S’mike then shares the topic of his forthcoming scholarly thesis on Trump and high status behavior. Read all about it here:

Looking at Donald Trump Through the Lens of Improv Comedy

Also, Mike relays the most manipulative thing he ever did to someone. No apologies.

Finally, the Buddies discuss the phenomenon that is Stranger Things, and Mike tries relay his love for the show without gushing too much.

Spoiler: He fails.

The Buddies go full on nerd for this one, geeking out so hard and so fast that they never even say what they’re drinking (pineapple and mixed vodkas).

Old school gaming magazines get brought out, favorite nerdy RIT stories are swapped and The Scottish Play gets brought up an absurd number of times for some reason.

Plus: the ridiculousness of JRPGs! The Adventures of Young S’mike When He had No Friends! And jiggle-physics!
