May 10, 2023The Invisible Woman (1940)
The one and only villainess that's as clear as the vodka she drinks! In this episode:
William disapparates and evaporates this movie's extensive production history.

Jason kicks the plot in the pants and makes it fly higher than it's own voice!

And Margret Hamilton is put to rest with the recognition she deserved.

April 22, 2023The Ape (1940)
A new decade! And a smelly banana peel... In this episode:
William injects the production history into our spines, as if we were guinea pigs in the big hamster-wheel of life.

Jason lays out the "plot" for all of us to hear, being unable to be kong-victed of its a-peel (Sorry not sorry)

And these two victims wander back and forth, circling but never finding the smells they're looking for.

April 12, 2023Son of Frankenstein (1939)
The end of Karloff! As Frankenstein's monster, that is! In this episode:
Jason tries to figure out how Inspector Krogh can survive with missing an arm and ends up proving how he can live without an arm.

William tries to learn how to resurrect the comatose plot that is this movie but ends up learning how to make a podcast episode. "I LEARNED NOTHING!!!!!"

And Wolf von Frankenstein's father was totally a GREAT man, with a GREAT contribution to society and a totally GREAT reputation. (GREAT stands for sarcasm.)

March 27, 2023The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)
Fanfares galore! It's Robin Hood!! In this episode:
William and Jason raid Prince John's treasury to share the wealth of Robin Hood knowledge, falsehoods (haha pun), and awesomeness.

Jason shoots an arrow at every point in this movie's plot, and realizing it was tedious, decides to just slap every 2 targets with his hand to save time.

After listening to all our charges, we forgot the ultimate crime of being a great podcast.

March 17, 2023Dracula's Daughter (1936)
The movie where the only stakes are in the heart of the villain. In this episode:
The digression duo talk about this extremely crazy production that you'll never know how on Earth they managed to release the movie!

William sinks his teeth into the salty piece of jerky that is this movie's salty plot. And it's not potassium salts, nor magnesium salts. Sodium salts, baby!

And we don't drink wine. We drink cherry limeade flavored Dracul-aid in Transylvania! (Boy, am I feeling thirsty after so much talking about salt...!)

March 02, 2023Things To Come (1936)
Blasting from a space gun near you! In this episode:
William compares H.G. Wells' ideas of the things to come to the fascinating realities of today, and all of his extremely accurate predictions!

Jason goes over the proposed future of humanity and many of its philosophical nooks and crannies.

And we experience scenes featuring complex model work and special effects for the biggest in-universe machines that even I still don't know how they pulled it off! (Also big credit to the epic music of Arthur Bliss, it really made this movie)
