Andy and Steph hit record immediately after seeing Francis Ford Coppola's massive not-NOT-a-musical, Megalopolis. What makes it bad? Is there anything good about it?? Is ANYONE getting out of this unscathed?? Then, there's more thoughts on Joker: Folie a Deux and what the response to that movie has been like (heard any good jokes lately?), making this episode a certified Megalop-a-Deux! We'll be back with more full musical talk for our next episode, The Muppet Movie (1979).

Comedy and podcast people Hobert Thompson ("Please Make This") and Laura Petro ("YA, We Read It!") join Andy & Steph to dig into the dumbest movie we've ever talked about: "Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny." We talk about the current status of Tenacious D and our hot takes on what went down between Kage and Jables; Andy tells us which cast member from this movie he needled with questions about the plot; Hobert talks about his disconnect with Tenacious D; Laura is shocked to find out this band exists; and Steph details why this movie led to a huge event in her and Andy's lives.
