We're finally recording in person again and thank GOD we are, because this week we're headed to America to review the seminal capitalism satire SORRY TO BOTHER YOU. Is this one of the best flicks we've done on the show???

Then, we discuss the music of one of the composers of Sorry to Bother You, as Marty teaches us a little about the band TUNE-YARDS.

Scott then shows us all a garden gnome...who then challenges us to a riddle battle! Oh no!

We are winding down the podcast, but before we close up shop we knew we had to return once again to the seminal work of ZAZ as we tackle NAKED GUN 2 1/2: THE SMELL OF FEAR. This is a weaker entry from the ZAZ crew.

Marty gets back into the novelty song game as we take a listen to the mash up icon THE FLYING SAUCER and take a listen to a few of the most sampled songs of all time.

Finally, Scott's got a VOICE CHANGER so you KNOW we're going to fill time and do some very bad improv.

We've finally done it. We've tackled a film featuring the star who's face is the logo of this podcast. That's right, we head to the opera for the... seminal Marx Brothers classic A NIGHT AT THE OPERA!

We also make an announcement regarding the future of the podcast.

Scott then teaches us about the vocal ranges used in performing opera and he plays clips featuring famous opera performers!

Kelly rounds us out with a discussion of Disney's HANDWICH!

School's out for summer and this week we're heading back to school to review the seminal teen comedy ROCK 'N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL! Is this movie a cult classic? Or is it a classic case of not being very good?!

In honor of some of the stars of this week's movie, we discuss the music of the RAMONES, including Dee Dee Ramone's rendition of MASH POTATO TIME. It's very bad!

Then, Kelly takes us home as we stick to music and talk about the PIANO NECK TIE.

This week we are...smoking?! That's right, we're tackling the mid-seminal Jim Carrey romp THE MASK. Yes we know it is not a spoof movie, but hey, Mr. Carrey does a few whacky impressions at least?!!

Then, Scott presents the Cherry Poppin' Daddies' iconic ZOOT SUIT RIOT and teaches us all about the real life events that inspired the song. I love learning!

Finally, Marty takes us home as he asks us a few trivia questions from the famous movie trivia game SCENE IT?

We steal from the rich and give to ourselves as we review the non-seminal ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS. Another entry from Mel Brooks in the books, does this movie hold up to his other classics?? 

Scott then digs into his history books and uncovers one of the oldest novelty songs in history: I'VE DULLED THY SWORD, THE SQUIRE'S JAPE!

Finally, Marty traps his co-hosts inside the studio and challenges them to escape the podcast studio (after discussing a pack of EDGAR ALLEN POE BANDAGES)!

Prep your treats and tricks, for this week we head to a dog show for the seminal Christopher Guest mockumentary BEST IN SHOW! Spoiler: we all love this movie.

Scott also presents a series of covers of the George Gershwin aria SUMMERTIME and we play a little guessing game determining the year of release. How well do Marty and Kelly know their musical history? (not well) 

Kelly takes us home as he shows us his favorite toy: the SLINKY.

We return to the land of television as we review GENTLE AND SOFT: THE STORY OF THE BLUE JEAN COMMITTEE! The Documentary Now crew takes aim at the "History of the Eagles" and music documentaries in general. 

Later, Scott presents a dissertation on the entire genre of YACHT ROCK and we play a little quiz determining whether a few songs qualify as Yacht Rock or Not Yacht Rock.

Marty takes us home as he shows us his finest formal wear: a TUXEDO T-SHIRT and we tackle the Big Wedding Quiz.

This week we finally return to live action as we head to America for the...controversial hidden camera road trip spoof BAD TRIP. Are pranks unethical? Is this movie funny? Questions that will surely be answered! A hot debate this week!

Scott then describes his favorite tattoos of Marty and Kelly's as we discuss THE TATTOOED LADY. Kelly takes us home by introducing us to his pet...ROCK!

This week we're headed to Toon Town as we review the seminal live action animation mashup WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT! Just when you thought we were done with animated films, we pulled ourselves back into another one! By far our longest chat about a movie on the podcast yet!

Then, its all Marty all the time as he presents "Nirvana"'s DROWNED IN THE SUN, we talk about AI generated music, and wraps things up with a branching-path story involving a DOLLAR SIGN MONEY BAG!
