Matthew J. Elliot is a writer, humorist, and voice actor. He’s created RiffTrax in the past, such as Creature from the Haunted Sea and Sherlock and Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace. He comes to Hungry Trilobyte to discuss his take on riffing and writing, and our conversation eventually turns to a love of cinema as an art form-- and how riffing lifts that art form up.

Jarrod Alberich (last seen in episodes 80 and 113) teams up with me to discuss season 1 of the 1980s sitcom Empty Nest. Why? Because we think re-watching this show to see if it holds up might be a good observation on what quality TV really is.

James Greene, Jr. is the author of the recent Ghostbusters history book, A Convenient Parallel Dimension. His book goes a great job of looking at the struggles to create the different installments in the Ghostbusters franchise, including looking at the conflicts that happened behind the scenes. In this episode of Hungry Trilobyte, James and I spend a fair amount of time discussing how film culture itself was different in the 80s, at the time of the first Ghostbusters, and how that shaped our view of the film 40 years later.

Jim the Podcast Sherpa is your guide to the many, many podcasts of the internet. As the host of the podcast ‘Too Many Podcasts!’ Jim likes to dig up deep cuts and show a new listener why they’d want to try a certain podcast. Often, he does this by looking deep into why the host does their show, and why they do it a certain why. Appropriately, Jim and I spend a lot of this episode discussing why our shows take the form they do, which is some great inside chat for a new podcaster.
