This week, we welcome a very special guest into the Labyrinth: the brilliantly funny, razor-sharp, and endlessly insightful Frank Santopadre!

Frank’s name may not be as well known as some of the legends he’s worked with, but you’ve definitely laughed at something he’s written. From MAD Magazine to The View, from Topps trading cards to the Kennedy Center Honors, Frank has spent his career writing for—and about—the biggest names in comedy, entertainment, and old-school showbiz.

He was the longtime co-creator and co-host of Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast, a true oral history of Hollywood's golden age. Now, Frank returns with a brand-new podcast: Fun For All Ages, a nostalgia-fueled celebration of 20th-century pop culture—from classic toys and cartoons to the stars and stories behind the screen.

In this episode, we talk with Frank about:

* The origins and legacy of the Amazing Colossal Podcast

* What he learned from working with Gilbert Gottfried

* His encyclopedic love of TV credits, novelty candy, and forgotten pop culture gems

* His new show Fun For All Ages, and what makes it special for anyone who grew up glued to the tube

*

It’s a funny, fascinating, and heartfelt chat with a guy who’s truly been there, written that, and still keeps the spirit of vintage entertainment alive.

🎧 Come for the Gilbert stories, stay for the Garbage Pail trivia.

🧠 Pop culture nerds and nostalgia junkies—this one’s for you.

This week Tim kicks off the show doing his Dusty Slay impression, which bothers him so he starts work-shopping it while listening to the most recent episode of the “We’re Having a Good Time” podcast. Dusty is coming to Atlanta August 9 and Tim’s NOT stoked he has to miss it. 

Plus: Tim’s excited to interview Frank Santopadre & talk about Tim’s second-favorite Gilbert: Mr. Gottfried (and Frank’s new podcast, Fun for All Ages.

All that plus some radio talk. The biz, the air game, broadcasting and whatnot. 

We’re back in the Labyrinth and things are getting… sharp. 🩸

This week, we dive into Dexter: Resurrection and use it as a springboard to dissect cinema’s most intelligent serial killers. No machetes or dream demons here—we’re talking cold, calculated masterminds like Hannibal Lecter, John Doe, Anton Chigurh, and more. What makes these killers terrifying isn't just the body count—it’s the brains behind it all.

🎭 Who’s the smartest killer in film history?🤔 Does having a “code” make Dexter special… or just delusional?🔍 Can philosophical murder be genius?

PLUS:🐥 Elmo stops by to address that Twitter/X hack.

🗣️ Text Impressions by Tim — featuring a disturbingly perfect Charlie Manson.

🎧 TRAMBLES returns! Tim’s back with solo rants on the main feed.

This week show opens up with a teaser for the next installment of Dell Dump.

Tim recaps his bachelor weekend, hanging out on the Fourth of July, seeing Caleb Synan with Jeff, Lizzie and Jones, and more.

Meeeeee returns with America Right Now: Today, covering her freakish nightmares, Epstein, Superman and psychedelic drugs. 

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we head back in time to revisit one of the most iconic films of all time. Released July 3, 1985, Back to the Future launched a trilogy that helped define a generation—and we're unpacking its legacy, the cast’s careers, and why this Gen X touchstone still hits hard in 2025. Would Marty even travel to 1955 today... or maybe 1995?

Dustin brings a Back to the Future Trivia Game packed with deep cuts—no softball questions here. Plus, we compare the epic Summer of ‘85 box office to the current Summer of ‘25 lineup and get nostalgic for DeLoreans, VHS tapes, and hoverboards.

Happy Independence Day! Congratulations to Diddy! Meeeeee is back & shares her scary radio dream.

This week in the Labyrinth, Tim bids farewell to a true Gen X radio hero — the legendary Doctor Demento. We take a fun, nostalgic dive into the history of the Dr. Demento Show, its influence on weird comedy, novelty songs, and how it helped shape our taste in the hilariously absurd. From “Disco Duck” to Weird Al, we dig into our favorite novelty records and talk about why that kind of musical madness has all but vanished today.

Plus, Jeff and Tim recount a recent run-in with a table full of loudmouths at a comedy show and lay down the law on comedy club etiquette. When is it okay to talk at a show? (Spoiler: Never.)

🗞 News Desk Highlights– The Boys final season wraps– New FX series Very Young Frankenstein– Dustin relives the nightmare of the infamous Poop Cruise (no, seriously)
