Now We Know

In the aftermath of Ketchup Entertainment's triumphant rescue of Coyote vs. Acme, to financial success and critical praise alike, we unlock, from the annals of the Patreon vault, our episode on 2025's The Day The Earth Blew Up. The first full-length, theatrically released animated film in Looney Tunes history, this one didn't go over quite as big for the crew over at Ketchup, but his did it go over in the esteem of your loyal hosts?

This is, sadly, also relevant for a very different, tragic reason: the staggeringly talented Eric Bauza, who carries this movie as both Porky and Daffy, died unexpectedly last week, at the age of 46.

Happy Happy Halloween, Halloween, Halloween. Happy Happy Halloween, Silver Shamrock.

Get ready for the big giveaway at nine. The prize? A treatise on Irish tricksterism.

Join Kevin, Chris, and Evan on what was a truly ignoble night.

From the bowels of the Patreon vault, Evan joins us to dive into the since-abandoned phenomenon of the Bill and Ted Halloween live shows at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, part of their Halloween Horror Nights routine. In this case, however, the "horror" is from a massively upscaled vision of a crude high school-level variety show, combining the cheapest possible pop culture references, genuine meanspiritedness, and you guessed it, "a little something for daddy."

WARNING: The following episode is rated F for #Freespeech.

Wherein Kevin and Chris are startlingly pleased with the caliber of Kenneth Branagh's spooky third stab at portraying detective Hercule Poirot.

October is here, and with it all the commensurate horror coverage you crave, this time from the depths of the Now We Know Patreon vault. First up for the month: Jason Voorhees' furtive, shortlived, devastatingly ineffectual attempt to conquer one of New York's five boroughs.

"Hey, just look at these reviews! 'Live-action' Stitch proved himself completely maladroit in the host's chair!"

Like a sating, flourishing oasis in the release schedule of 2023, Hayao Miyazaki's final theatrically released film (for now, at least) was a real socks-knocker-offer, that's for sure.

Relive a truly dark day in the life of Now We Know's foremost martyr, Christopher Tognotti — as a holiday gift to Kevin, I graciously agreed to record an unthinakble solo watchalong track for the 2019 "live-action" remake of The Lion King, but the audio file was unaccountably corrupted the entire first playthrough, and then the first half of the second playthrough, meaning at the outset of this recording I'd already made my way through this movie one-and-a-half times.

To say I was a bit less verbal and a bit more punch-drunk would be an understatement. Enjoy it! I didn't! But I love all of you so failure was not an option.
