Is your local movie theater about to become a ghost town? Chris Akin breaks down a massive industry shift that could leave 50% of theaters out of business in the next two years. With streaming giants reportedly ready to gut the exclusive theatrical window, we have to ask: why would anyone spend $100 for a night out when the same movie hits your couch in 17 days? The “traditional” way of watching movies is being dismantled right in front of us—find out who is holding the sledgehammer and why the social experience of cinema is being traded for a $1.50 bag of microwave popcorn.

“Bunch of electricity going up her ass. That’s probably what happened. It could have burned. It probably burned her from the inside. It probably baked that thing. Cooked her colon.”

What happens when you mix a high-powered magnet with a “rectal passenger”? Total medical carnage. We’re unpacking the FDA report of the year.

But that’s not even the most offensive thing we saw this week. Jerry Kogel sent us a news clip of a “fur daddy” in the Palisades who is more upset about a Pomeranian named Oreo than his house burning to the ground. He’s literally walking through fire zones with a squeaky toy. We’re losing the war with China, folks.

Could you stay calm if your dog was missing while your house burned down? Question of the day!

"She got an MRI and it fucking lit her up. Yeah, well, of course. Metallic butt plug inside herself."

We’re back and we’re going filthy, kids. This week, we unpack the story of a 22-year-old who got “metal up her ass” the hard way. If you think that’s bad, wait until you see the guy calling his Pomeranian his “daughter” on the nightly news while wearing a COVID mask in a smoke-filled fire zone. It’s the most faggoty thing we’ve ever seen.

We also tackle:

* David Lee Roth living in an alternate universe where “Alligator Pants” are cool.

* Ozzy admitting he can’t walk and will only do “bits and pieces” for his final show.

* Tesla’s Brian Wheat starting a new band with Tommy Skeo despite years of “hating” him.

Is it worse to have a metallic butt plug in an MRI or to call your dog your “daughter” on national TV?

Dive into the stories behind two songs from The Hara’s new album, The Fallout! The band reveals that the fan-favorite “Psycho Killer” was inspired by a simple, eerie synth and riff. They explain that the “dark and twisted” lyrics are a personification of the “darkness and the shit that goes on in our brains”—a very deep take on mental health. They then discuss their successful single “Violence,” detailing the concept of a toxic, two-way relationship and how their label helped them feature the perfect guest vocalist, Beth from As December Falls.

Don’t miss The Fallout out on January 23rd! Buy the album or some exclusive merch at TheHaraBand.com.

THE YEAR-END CHAOS: The final show of 2025 is an absolute train wreck of gruesome true crime and rock history! We start with the insane story of how Queen rejected Sylvester Stallone, leading to the creation of Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger.” But then things get DARK. Neeley breaks down the most bone-chilling interrogation ever where a guy nicknamed “Uncle Jesse” confesses to a triple homicide in under 90 seconds. Plus, a horrific Michigan “womb-raider” murder case that will make you lose your goddamn lunch.

Is Nikki Sixx a creative genius or just the world’s most expensive fishing guide? He’s promising a “next-level” revolution for the 2026 tour, but the mainstream media is too afraid to ask the real question: How can you deliver “Shock and Awe” when your frontman is recovering from strokes and your bassist is more worried about his Jackson, Wyoming fishing schedule than the fans? The industry wants you to buy the hype, but Alex and Alicia Iverson are ripping the mask off this “Carnival of Sins” to show you the corporate cash grab underneath. Is this a creative revolution, or just a safe, lazy nostalgia trip for a band that’s lost its edge? Hit play and find out why the “New Tech” might just be a total fraud.

The boys are in rare form today. We’re tearing apart the “inclusive” posturing of Paramore , watching a drunk marketing manager ruin her life in 4K , and mourning (sort of) a plastic surgery influencer who took a 9-story dive. Plus, David Coverdale is actually doing retirement the right way.

I sat down with the one and only Matt Bissonette. If you’ve listened to a radio in 40 years, you’ve heard this man’s bass lines. We’re talking about the high-wire act of playing for “difficult” geniuses like David Lee Roth and Elton John, and why the internet is a cesspool of losers when it comes to legends like Steve Vai.

Matt’s back with The Squirts 3, and we break down why having zero expectations makes for the best goddamn music.

Buckle up, because the boys are shredding Dave Mustaine a new one. We wanted to like the new Megadeth, but “Let There Be Shred” is making it impossible. Between that, Dave Evans’ delusional tour, and the fact that rock concerts are dying, we’ve got plenty to scream about.

Chris is fired up today, man! Imagine trying to get your sports talk fix and your TV basically tells you to screw off. Audacy has officially pulled their app from Roku, and they didn’t say a damn word to anyone about why. Chris dives into whether this is a licensing shakedown or just corporate greed ruining everything for the listeners.
