Hit the gong, ring the bells, blow out the candles! We've reached episode 25, and, to celebrate this occasion we review one of the heads on the Mount Rushmore of spoof movies, the seminal music rocking mockumentary "This is Spinal Tap"! Does the movie hold up?

Later, Marty presents a dissertation on wrestling theme songs; the history, a few songs, and a fun little pop quiz (hotshot).

Finally, Kelly brings a very special surprise for our 25th novelty product.

This week on the podcast, crime...DOES pay?! That's right, we head back to old-time Hollywood as we review the seminal gangster parody "Johnny Dangerously" which was made in the 80s and NOT in the 30s!

Scott also presents a seminal 80's movie theme song in Axel F, and Marty brings another weapon to the podcast.

Do you remember when Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig starred in a Lifetime movie? Do you know that that was made to celebrate Lifetime's 25th anniversary? Did you know that that seminal film is barely a spoof, and is very much a genuine straight-forward Lifetime movie? This week, we answer ALL of these questions! 

Marty presents this week's song and it features a one eyed, one horned, flying, purple-people eater.

Finally, Scott brings out a lovely little novelty instrument.

Spoof nation heads to the spoofiest nation...New Zealand! That's right, we review Peter Jackson's seminal Muppets spoof "Meet the Feebles." It is a very disgusting movie.

A special guest joins us for this week's novelty product, and, we thoroughly review "I'm Henry the Eighth, I Am" though, we discuss 0% historical facts regarding the song.

Oh also, our enemy "the space heater" returns for a little background noise.

Happy Valentine's Day (soon) everyone! And, welcome to our very special episode, where we review the seminal rom-com spoof "They Came Together". We also introduce a lovely little hum from a space heater, so, imagine yourself sitting next to a fire, getting warm for your Valentine...

In Act II of the podcast, Scott presents Leonard Nimoy's "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins"; an insane song that shouldn't exist.

We also review Groucho Glasses.

We head back to the mysterious time of...2016...to review the seminal Justin Bieber parody film "Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping". Marty has a hot take on the film????

Kelly also presents a dissertation on the unknown group The Lonely Island and Scott brings a normal bottle of ketchup as a novelty product. What a product!

Kelly, Marty, and Scott all received a letter...asking them to head to the podcasting studio and review the seminal murder-house parody film "Murder by Death"! Has the film aged well? Or, are certain creative decisions a little...off?

We'll also dive deep on one of Scott's favorite songs "Chocolate Rain" and examine the iconic board game "Clue" including all of its novelty variations.

Gather 'round the fire everyone as we enjoy a tall-tale from one of the legends of spoofs: Mel Brooks! We review the seminal "Young Frankenstein"

Keeping with the Frankenstein theme, Kelly presents "The Lurch" and it does NOT go over well in the room. One of the longest fights on the podcast commences.

Finally, Marty brings a sweet surprise treat: a Kinder egg for each host!

The title is...two movies!? That's right, this week we review the first spoof movie "The Little Train Robbery" a parody of the seminal film "The Great Train Robbery"! A lot of film history is examined. 

Then, we review a more modern spoof, the Fast and the Furious parody "Superfast!" in an attempt to compare the past and the present. What do they have in common? Being bad.

Finally, we take a listen to Gary Numan's "Cars", and we push a fail button a few times.

Was everybody kung-fu fighting!? We'll find out this week as we dive in on the seminal kung fu parody film Kung Fu Hustle (as well as the has-not-aged-well song "Kung Fu Fighting")

Finally, Marty brings a very special treat for Scott and Kelly, a can of jelly beans. Perfectly normal jelly beans. Nothing to fret about. No springs...attached...
