Laser Time

It's that time again! We've watched all the Oscar Nominees for Best Picture so you don't have to! More so than other years, there's certainly not a lot to hate about this years Academy Awards winner's circle, but there's still plenty to complain about. Joker, Parasite, Jojo, and... uh, Ford? And more!

Get ready to learn more than you ever wanted to know about Bing Crosby bears, phallic camels, cookie crooks, greasy clowns and the absolute spokes-slut that is... Snoopy. Yes, this episode of Laser Time is tackling our favorite gone-but-not-forgotten product mascots, so join us as we reveal out unabashed love for the fictional pitchmen who hocked us wonderful garbage. Feel free to share your faves in the comments below...

What's the oldest source material for a video game that you ever played? Don't answer yet, because Laser Time's prepared an 8-bit extravaganza for you this week, all courtesy of some of the worst licensed Nintendo games ever made! It's easy to forget that the adaptive output of the Nintendo Entertainment System/Famicon represented over a century of popular culture. For a certain type of kid, the NES became your gateway to a staggering number of classic films, television, animation and even literature, with a volume and span no other game console has achieved before or since...

With the great movie debate all settled, it's time to turn our attention to the small screen... where things have gotten weirdly bigger! Skywalker-less Star Wars, scumbag superheroes, Bojack Birds, Canadian rednecks, and unexpected rise of Hulu. Oh yes, it's time once again to talk the best television of the year.

2019's almost a distant memory, but we've narrowed down its greatest cinematic achievements into a legacy that'll live in your hearts forever! Fake pimps, dead superheroes, suburban subterfuge and failed stuntmen abound. Oh, a we've tried to keep the spoilers to a minimum, so head on in for the annual festivities!

Ringing in 2020 with a massive mega-sode. Friends will become enemies and fans will become irate as we sit down and deliberate the impossible: What are the 2010s greatest films! Using our typical dysfunctional process, we've taken it upon ourselves to narrow 2010 to 2019 to a hyper-serious, ultra-definitive Top 10. Obviously, we'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter so do not hesitate to chime in!

Shame Songs, Filthy Christmas Jams and Celebrity Cringe Crooning?! Oh yes, we've combined them all into one awful yuletide listening extravaganza! Bring the kids in, crank up the speakers, and enjoy some Holiday Horror with the whole family. From Star Wars to Santa Farts, this episode has it all!

Tis the season for spooktacular thrills, and Laser Time is tackling yet another horror subgenre and it's a surprisingly robust one! It might surprise you that the killer do staggering amount of straight-to-video imitators. If you grew up watching schlock on late night cable, you're in for a real treat!

It had to be done, Coulrophobics! With two new disturbing clown movies in theaters, we're examining how this once wholesome embodiment of family amusement became a default icon of pure terror. Is it earned or is it irony? We'll get to the bottom of It, as we dig into the origins of the creepy ass clown...

Kicking off yet another Laser Time spooktober with a bit of a cheat, yet a wonderful excuse to return to one of our favorite topics: Saturday Night Live. The latter half of SNL's almost fifty years on the air has featured exponentially more corpsing. Or rather, breaking character and laughing over your lines in front of a live television audience. We'll explain the term and why we don't mind so much when the integrity of a sketch is obliterated in this literally laugh-filled episode...
