Failure To Launch

Improviser Dan Burt guests this episode dedicated to Rob Lowe's opus, The Grinder. We talk lawyers fake and real, mom shows, and don't make a single joke about gay dating sites (our bad). Watch The Grinder on Netflix here: https://www.netflix.com/title/80057762?

WARNING the following podcast may melt your face off. Friend of the show Carlos Solorio joins us to discuss (and sing) Tenacious D's HBO series.

This week we talk the hipster cartoon of the late nineties/early aughts, Mission Hill with comedian Ruby Gill. We chat about brothers, CAKE, and it devolves into a Simpson's rant as is our custom. Watch the Mission Hill pilot here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0ZMw4y9rV0&spfreload=10

MOMCAST edition! In the first remote taping of the podcast we're joined by Mitch's mom, Barbe Mitchell. We chat about The O’Keefes, a failed Judge Reinhold pilot (Starring Mitchell himself).

It's time to start the music because we're covering the 2015, and already cancelled, The Muppets. The OG Kermie and Piggy (Mitch and Molly) invite guest comedian Aviva Siegel to talk what nots, impressions and the sexual politics of puppets.  Watch the pilot here: http://gorillavid.in/g8gqzkza8746

Live from Studio 301 it’s Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. In our chattiest podcast to date we discuss this underrated Aaron Sorkin gem with Red Scott of the Boars Gore and Swords podcast.

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.
