On this episode, we countdown our top five soundtracks of the 1990's and since it's us that means chaos. Get the Singles soundtrack outta here, cause we've got to talk about Deadeye Dick. Normally I'd say if you've listened before you can guess what these soundtracks are, but for once I don't think that's the case. Well, there is an obvious answer that we unanimously agreed on. Can you guess what it was? (It's Judgement Night. Obviously it's Judgement Night)

We also take a trip to Sean's Tubi Corner to talk about the James Woods vehicle Cop, the unwatchable Howie Mandel/Fred Savage movie Little Monsters, Brujeria, "manly" incense choices, and a lot of other stuff. Its good. Check it out.

We're back with some nonsense. On this episode we take an exended trip to Sean's Tubi Corner, Brad gets in a petty fight with a local pie company, and we read from the 1977 Better Homes and Gardens Mexican Cookbook. Enjoy.

We are back after a six (!) month abscence, but we actually have good reasons for it for once. After bemoaning our new tech issues, we talk about big life changes, including Brad moving and subsequently becoming a "thrifting" guy and Sean becoming a chef roaming the wastes of the midwest.

We also discuss a bunch of other topics including the cleaning advice subreddit, Brad making a bird wall, the geography of Michigan, Diablo 4, Cherry Falls and Brittney Murphy's special request, the movie The Kiss, Troma stuff, innocuous horror movie lines, who is the dorkiest quarterback, Sean does Hooptober, the movie The Bees, the Subspecies series, cool lady Wynter gets a special shirt for John Carpenter, who is the podcast's favorite murderer, John Carpenter and Kurt Russell commentaries, noted maniac John Milius, some cassettes and Larry Wish talk, Bo Knows Bo, Jurassic Park: the book, is Watership Down sci-fi, Sean's concert rundown, seeing Goblin in concert with Claudio Simonetti's daughter doing interpretive dance, the Taco Bell discontinued items menu returns, further investigation into Taco Bell's insane food graveyard, a controversial Burger King opinion, Sean gets got by engagement bait posting about grilled stuffed burritos, and a certain special dog (not that one, but also that one). Hell of an episode right here. It is good to be back.

On this episode, our friend Paul joins us again to discuss the 1986 Adam Baldwin, Deborah Foreman, and Wings Hauser (?) vehicle 3:15 The Moment of Truth, the story of a D-II basketball prospect's struggle to defeat the biggest gang of dorks on the planet.

We also discuss the wretched scourge of local Cleveland television Big Chuck and Little John, the various fits of Adam Baldwin, the disambiguation of Chooch, watching My Bodyguard in sociology class, Reggie's hat from Phantasm 2, Gene Labell, the ruthless efficiency of the Cobrettes, and the absolutely perplexing Wings Hauser cameo.

What happens when a man's creation becomes his agent of destruction? Well, the Modern Prometheus (Brad) finds out when his Frankingstein monster (The Board of Many Things) immediately turns on him as it casts an uncaring eye towards the 1985 Cannon ripoff of Indiana Jones King Solomon's Mines.

Despite being directed by J. Lee Thompson (Cape Fear, Guns of the Navarone, Mackenna's Gold, 10 to Midnight), scored by Jerry Goldsmith (Alien, Patton, Chinatown, Papillon), and starring Richard Chamberlain (The Towering Inferno, The Thorn Birds, Shogun), Sharon Stone (Basic Instinct, The Quick and the Dead, Sliver), and John Rhys-Davies (The Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones, Sliders) this movie is a ROUGH ONE.

What started as a potentially fun romp turned sour quickly with a sloppy bouillabaisse of tonal whiplash, not-so-casual racism, and BOREDOM. Sean handles the assignment with typical aplomb, but Brad has several nervous breakdowns throughout the course of the episode.

This was supposed to be one of the more fun board choices. Christ.

We're back with another quick B-Sides episode (yeah, it was always called that don't look into it). This time around we discuss incredibly old gum that is prone to disintegrating, a belated 311 Day celebration, The Long Good Friday and its amazing decor, a very silly crime docudrama narrated by Robert Stack, and more nu-metal talk. Yes, of course Puya is discussed, but you already knew that.

Oh wow. We've got a heater of an episode for you today.

This time around, Sean and Brad are joined by first ever Queen Venerator guest Joe to discuss the work of Japanese video game publisher FromSoftware.

Kind of.

Look, there's a decent amount of discussion about FromSoft throughout their long, illustrious history, and yes Joe does a wonderful job conveying the true emotional pull these games can have on people, and yes we discuss Joe's infamously peculiar FromSoft collection.

But lets face it, the Queen Venerator crew get distracted easily, so they break off into a multitude of tangents.

The topics discussed are as wide-ranging as the Nick Jr. show Little Bear, David the Gnome, Total Recall, Shogun, Michael Mann specifically The Keep this time, Scott Glenn (of course), The Wire, Joe Lieberman meeting the Mortal Kombat Toasty guy in hell (I know its Dan Forden, calm down), the death of the Twitch Watch Party, Dan Ryckert's joy about Event Horizon, the 1991 Hiroyuki Kitakubo and Katsuhiro Otomo anime movie Roujin Z, the 1980 Troma released, kids-as-zombie-microwaves movie The Children, Cutlery Corner, MORE Siskel and Ebert talk, The Black Stallion: the greatest movie of ours and any generation, Justin Wong at Evo, Brad's continued Dead Cells obsession, Sean sneaking off to make memes, Sean surrupticiously eating a Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito, Maria Menounos and her cook books, Cheddar TV: TV for gas stations, Dragons Dogma 2 meat, Brad explains the Goo Crew and Joey's World Tour, Helldivers, Graveyard Keeper, those fake bowling animation videos, Ninja Gaiden, Low-G: The Low Gravity Man, and of course, Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects.

Finally, we introduce two new segments on this show.

First, we have what will clearly be a long-running feature: Sean Reads the Entirity of the Toxic Zombies Wikipedia Page, a real rollercoaster of emotions segment.

Finally, after months of threats, Brad finally unleashes his wretched creation on the world: The Board of Many Things, a fifty category monstrosity used to select the topic of the next show. What did Sean win from the one armed bandit this week? This isn't a mixed metaphor, stop saying its a mixed metaphor. Whatever, you'll have to listen to find out.

Mother Earth tried to stop this episode from coming out, but we are back after yet another extended absence. Yes, this episode was so powerful the gods tried to silence it by knocking out the power THREE TIMES during this recording.

But despite Sean's audio being dealt a mortal wound (it's fine, you'll get over it), we got this thing across the finish line, and this time Sean brought a heater of a topic: "Go to the Head of the Class", the infamous season two episode Steven Spielberg's NBC anthology show Amazing Stories.

This episode stars Mary Stuart Masterson, podcast spectre Tom Bresnahan, and Christopher Lloyd as the insane Professor Beans. Not only that, but it has Robert Zemeckis directing AND Stan Winston doing special effects. A true murderer's row on display here.

And what has brought these titans together? A little story about satanic panic, severed heads, and SEX! This one's a wild ride for sure, but as is tradition on this show, Brad and Sean get caught up in what punk stickers adorn our hero's totally accurate, not a Hollywood invention in any way Super Rad Bedroom.

It all culminates in a very Brad rant about how awful prestige television is and how it has taken away the good things about television, like Earth 2 and Manimal.

We also discuss the various music challenges we've undertaken (and in Brad's case, failed at) in recent weeks, hot dog relishes, and winning at fake slots.

We even premiere a new segment on the show: our semi-regular (?) Detroit Lions update called Honolulu Blue Notes. However, even when talking about the Lions, the two manage to discuss Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell and how he looks like he hangs out at the all-night gas station at 4AM.

Its a good show, so check it out.

The podcast is back at full strength as Sean returns to the co-chair on this one. You would think all that time away would give us time to find new and exciting things to talk about, but thankfully we immediately fall back into our habit of talking about garbage no one has cared about for literal decades.

This time around there's a long discussion about Siskel and Ebert's At the Movies and the insane opinions of these two maniacs: Pleasantville being better than Saving Private Ryan, Babe: Pig in the City also being better than Saving Private Ryan, Black Stallion being better than Raging Bull, and Siskel's completely unsurprising love of Star 80.

We also discuss that one scene in A Very Brady Sequel, the Action Boyz watching Godfrey Ho movies, getting squeezed out like a toothpaste roller, The Long Kiss Goodnight, the potential end to Sean's Tubi Corner, Jim Carrey's Foghat Man character, Shawn Hatosy sliding down a prop slide, the VHS copy of Medium Cool that destroyed Brad's VCR, Annie, the positive side of Grease 2, the many scores of Tangerine Dream, AIM screen names based on the surfing movie Blue Crush, God Lives Underwater vs. Primitive Radio Gods vs. Godsmack, and of course MTV's Fear.
