Raised by Rentals

Doesn't Hollywood have any good ideas anymore?! In this first bonus episode, Josh & Mike go on a RENTAL RANT about remakes of popular movies.

Hadouken! Head-to-head fighters dominated the video game scene in the early 90s, so of course Hollywood got in the ring to kick ass with blockbuster movie adaptations. Only the movies we got didn't exactly hit hard. For the 5th episode of RAISED BY RENTALS, Josh & Mike imagine a fighting game-turned-movie that doesn't pull punches & actually put some street fights in STREET FIGHTER II.

1, 2, Freddy's comin' for you...& you...& you...he's everywhere! As the pandemic continues to menace the real world, can the survivors of Springwood prevail against a plague of nightmares? For the 4th episode--& 1st birthday special!--of RAISED BY RENTALS, Josh & Mike improve a story concept for the return of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET.

When they were just kids, Mikey Walsh & his friends faced pirates, gangsters, & booby traps to save their homes. But is one adventure enough? For the 3rd episode of RAISED BY RENTALS, Josh & Mike improv a story concept for a what-if sequel to THE GOONIES!

From a ragtag band of misfits to a force to be reckoned with, Mahoney & the gang cracked up a generation with their screwball take on cleaning up the streets. But in the political climate of the 2020s, can a comedy about cops actually be funny? For the 2nd episode of RAISED BY RENTALS, Josh & Mike improv a story concept for a what-if relaunch of the POLICE ACADEMY series.

It's the holiday season at Crystal Lake & we couldn't help but wonder: What would Jason do? He's been to Manhattan, he's been to space...why not a Christmas special? For the 1st episode of RAISED BY RENTALS, Josh & Mike improv a story concept for a what-if installment in the FRIDAY THE 13TH series.
