Join us for a lil' romp through the Big Apple and beyond as we tackle select eps from the ABC-era of a show with a critical impact on our screwed up sensibilities.

Episodes:

*No episodes were harmed during the recording of this episode but some may have had their feelings hurt due to being omitted.

After (another) long hiatus, Jon and Todd are back to discuss some high-to-mid classics from the sprawling catalogue of that daft yellow fam.

S4 E17: Last Exit to Springfield

S8 E23: Homer's Enemy

S12 E9: HOMЯ

...and don't forget all those fine references to the things we're not watching.

Sit in for an extra-long, extra-coherent-for-IR time as we debate Homer's morality, social position, true intelligence, and whether he has ultimately betrayed us like so many of our heroes.

Cheers to Jon for his marvelous metamorphosis (#TheDrunkOnes)!

In the real season 1 finale, Jon and Todd pack all the joy and hardships of the holiday season into an hour-long zoom call. Come once for the bizarre movie that mixes pro-royalist, anti-fascist, and Christian-neutral ideologies, twice for the technical and mental difficulties on Jon's end, and thrice for the thin layer of flop-sweat on Todd's brow!

Jaud joins for the first (and last?) time in person to celebrate and rehabilitate one of the unsung villains of  the caped crusader's lore. Technical snafu's abound and Todd's terrifically under-prepared as we careen through the Dark Deco Decorum and get rubbed down with the craziest creme this side of Wendell & Wild! I, Todd, solemnly promise a shorter turnaround to release for the next episode!

We conclude our season-long LotR trilogy with the sequel to our inaugural Hobbit ep! Andy joins to steal jokes and reference other podcasts galore, as we jive to the excessive song queues and delightful lore-pulling of this forgotten classic with the GOAT Gollum.

Follow Andy on twitter and listen to his (currently dormant) podcast, Brunch Movies!

Opening song "Return of the King" as made famous by Mack Morrison, vocals by Jon, lyrics by Andy and Jon, Executive Produced by Andy (He got EP? Good for him!)

Lyrics:

(Horn sound) burur bururrooooooooh come on, I'm a horn

Deep within Mordor

Sauron's cruelty had forged

Something dark and powerful 

One ring to rule them all

they were all of them deceived

The dwarves the elves and trees

til Isildur cut him down

Who will pick up his crown?

It calls to he

To the only master it has known

It calls to he

And it tries, oh it tries

It calls to he

Even though he's just a big weird eye

It calls to he

Burn his prize burn his prize

Return of the King

STRIDER

Return of the King

FRO-DO

Return of the King

AR-A-GORN

Now we’ll destroy the ring

THE-RE AND

Return of the King

BACK AGAIN

Return of the King

Isildur’s Heir

Return of the King

Watch my flow

Now we’ll destroy the ring

Here I go

So, the fellowship was formed

At the council of EL- ronn

Letting all the people know

The ring bearer was Frodo

But he wouldn't go alone

So he brought some friends along

Sam, Pippen and merry

Strider, Legolas, Gimli

And Boromir

Who had said he'd never turn on him

It called to he

But he did, but he did

It called to he

To ascend the throne atop Gondor

It called to he

But he died but he died

Return of the King

There he is

Return of the King

Gollum

Return of the King

Looking gross

Let's go destroy that ring

My precious 

Return of the King

Once again

Return of the King

To Rohan

Return of the King

To Gondor

Let's go destroy that ring (in mount doom)

Master lies to me

But Smegol said that he was true

Master lies to thee

Yes he lies, precious, lies

Master lies to me

Even though I know the precious is cruel

Master lies to thee

Yes he lies, precious, lies

Return of the King

Tree Beard

Return of the King

É-o-wyn

Return of the King

The-o-din

We gotta destroy the ring

And Worm Tongue

Return of the king

Hobbit hole

Return of the king

Watch my flow

Return of the king

I'm there and

Almost destroyed the ring (back again)'

Return of the King

Yes he did

Return of the King

Yes he did

Return of the King

Yes he did

Did you destroy that thing?

Frododo 

Return of the King

Yes he did 

Return of the King

Yes he did

Return of the King

Yes he did

Frodo destroy the Ring

Rival podcaster Dave joins us to cover the inimitable flying pig man movie of Ghibli fame! In this very special episode, Dave, Jon, and Todd are not unlike the fallen comrades of Porker himself, drifting apart on different wavelengths of creativity, humor, and consciousness.

Listen to more of Dave on Brunch Movies!

Jon and Todd take a journey through the glorious pantheon of King of the Hill episodes to find the new savior and hopefully end their infinite regress. (Relax, they fail!)

Our second sojourn into the animated legacy of Tolkien's immortal fantasy series unearths a landscape as tensely divided as the very lands of Rohan and Gondor! Faithful father Brandon graciously guides Todd and Jon's relentless riffing as we attempt to determine who is really deceiving who, the nature of the worst Gollum, and the prognosis for GamGee Syndrom (GGS). Put on your silly-caps and prepare to ignore/froget this innovative but ultimately undercooked epic from the erstwhile* king of adult comedy! (*Current king TBD in a future ep!)

We save the best for first, guests and Disney movies that is! Mike AKA Serge AKA Mr. Jay joins as we cover the Disney MovieToons' millennial classic-cum-sexsploitation fllick, A Goofy Movie. More bad laughs than the titular Coonhound are spillt and reproductive methods are re-defined as our tipsy triumvirate travails through Kevin Lima and Jeffrey Katzenberg's insightful skewering of Americana and furry fetish creation myth unfolds.

Brought to you live* on New Year's Night, Jon and Todd explore the intimate crevices and crevasses of the 1973 cult sci-fi gem, Fantastic Planet. Todd'll sing and that'll make you suddenly think the boys have started trying, but all-in-all this is a chill slip through a tripped-out classic. Strap on your squid hat, and take a deep vape of your cloud sustenance and join us, won't you!
