Failure To Launch

Hold onto your hats Launchheads, this episode gets weird. On our "bad week" we discuss the 70's children's show Lidsville with friend of the podcast Stu Coltrell. We talk kid's shows, racist stereotypes and expand on the theory that Mitch is Benjamin Button. Watch the pilot here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S66E0K7XQf8

Things get romantic with the first DOUBLE DATE episode of Failure To Launch. Live-in co-hosts of Up Yours Downstairs, Kelly Anneken and Tom Schneider join us in the studio to discuss Andy Barker, P.I., couples songs, and the plot of Game of Thrones. Watch the Andy Barker, P.I. pilot here: http://www.hulu.com/watch/461

Snootchie bootchies listeners! We're talking the Clerks cartoon on this special 4/20 episode. Improviser Jill Turner joins us in the studio as we dissect this Kevin Smith masterpiece, talk shitty jobs and drink probably the laziest signature cocktail ever.

This week we discuss the failed quasi-spinoff That '80s Show (but first we sing the Hey Dude theme because you nerds requested it). Tech mogul/improviser Brittany Metz joined us ostensibly to talk about the show but eventually it devolved into drunken rants about how much we like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Rate, review, and listen responsibly when you're HANGING OUT/ DOWN THE STREET. Watch the That '80s Show Pilot on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isPIpfIAnFc

Knowledge is power, for real, this week on the podcast with special guest (improviser, comedian, loud laugher) Brandon Garner. We discuss Jack Black, Ben Stiller, Rob Schrab and Dan Harmon’s masterpiece: Heat Vision and Jack. Mostly though Brandon and Molly just berate Mitch any time he tries to make a valid point. Rate, review, and drink responsibly. Watch Heat Vision and Jack here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lWgXDOAJ5s

This week on a very special episode of Failure to Launch we chat with our friend, comedy writer Charles “OJ” Patterson. We cover the 2002 MTV cartoon, Clone High and end up talking about consent culture, the golden age of music television and what a garbage pile everyone’s high school selves were. Rate and review us on iTunes and listen to this podcast responsibly. Watch the Clone High pilot here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHvN25QPWGE

This week we delve into our first reality show (and spin-off), Kourtney and Khloe Take The Hamptons. This show is largely considered to be the darkest in the Kardashian K-pantheon and we discuss it as well as their overall K-legacy with our friend, improviser Kaeli Quick. Rate and review us on iTunes and GOD BLESS! Watch the actual pilot on Hulu: http://hulu.com/s/LT9

This week we're discussing Wonderfalls because the voices in our head (or god, or satan, or a penny) told us to. Check out this show from the creators of Pushing Daisies about a girl trying to find herself in Niagara Falls. This week our cocktail is the (very potent) Wonderfalls Kamikaze (2 parts vodka, 1 part Patrón orange liqueur, 3 parts limeaid) and our guest is Jonathon Stratton (Chef, film school graduate, and fellow drunk). Rate/review and happy listening. Watch the Wonderfalls pilot here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE_uvysLeIo

The pilot episode of a podcast devoted to discussing failed pilot episodes (eek!). This episode we're discussing the 2001 classic, The Tick. Stay tuned for discussion, a play along drinking game and Bechdal Test passing goodness.

In the Failure to Launch season finale, we go out with a baffling bang. Or, I guess, a crash, a premonition and age-disguising lighting.

Old mate Leonard Nimoy plays Tom, a race-car driver who develops psychic powers somehow and get whisked off to "merry" old England to solve a number of odd mysteries in one big creepy mansion. We couldn't really grasp why a lot of it was happening but after last week's episode, we were just happy not to have been violently vomiting onto the floor.

That's it for this season; Failure to Launch returns early next year. See you then, Internet!
