Hi, hi, hi, there, droogs and devotchkas! Today we are joined by Antonio Palacios of The Cultworthy Cinema Podcast to discuss overlooked outlaws, neglected antagonists, and generally unsung villains in film. In many cases, these villains ended up being the best part (or in some cases, the only part worth seeing) of a film, so why are they uncelebrated? 

Today’s root beer is On the Hook Harborside.

We continue our year-long Linkin Park project with their 6th album, in which they go hunting for a return to hard rock and really stick-it-to-the-man! From a shrill, jarring intro, to a melodic and powerful close, “The Hunting Party” definitely caught its prey.

Today's root beer wasn't root beer, but A&W Ice Cream Sundae flavoured soda.

This week we discuss many of the funny songs and skits that were made famous by radio DJ Doctor Demento. This topic ended up being so big we're splitting it into two parts. This week, we discuss the songs we grew up with, from Seb Wooley's 1958 hit “The Purple People Eater”, and “The Existential Blues” by Tom “T-Bone” Stankus, Ray Stevens, Allan Sherman, and, of course, the great Tom Lehrer!

Next week we're going to do modern funny songs and skits.

Please note, we're not going to be covering Weird Al this episode as we already have an episode done previously about his music.

Today's root beer is Devil's Canyon Root Beer.

Seriously, I had to look up another word for “Kryptonite” just now while writing this summary because I wanted to say that Superman's Kryptonite was….. yeah.

This statement is false.

Or is it?

This week we geek out about the seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statements or propositions that when investigated or explained may prove to be well founded or true. It would have been better if we could have a Snickers bar as well, but….. whatever.

Today we ate ice cream of Dad's Root Beer Float.

Two notes, people! Two notes kept people out of the water!

The fifth in our year-long project to cover every Linkin Park album.

Whereas “A Thousand Suns” was a heavily conceptual album, “Living Things” was a return to a more traditional Linkin Park sound, with excellent percussion, and strong aspects of nu-metal, industrial, synth, rap, and even some blues motifs, while still maintaining the strong lyrics and vocals unique to Linkin Park.

Today's root beer is Rocket Fizz “Root Beer Float” flavored root beer.
