Raised by Rentals

October always makes us nostalgic for the good old days of the VHS era, when the local rental store was sure to have its shelves stocked with schlocky straight-to-video sequels to all our favorite horror movies and the television airwaves were replete with seasonal Halloween specials. In this DEALER'S CHOICE DOUBLE OR NOTHING DOUBLEHEADER episode, we blind-challenge each other to improvise follow-ups to a couple of our favorite spooky movies.

Here at RAISED BY RENTALS we don't put up with elitist know-it-all fans…unless they're us! In this special RENTAL RANT/SUPER GUSHERS mashup episode, we finally come clean and admit we have a problem: we’re snobs!

You screamed at the HOT GARBAGE horror of a bloodthirsty dumpster fire. Your spine went cold from the terrible truth of what was buried in the BAD RUBBISH. But now you'll learn true terror, when you find yourself alone in a dark alley with the atrocity known only as TRASH MOUTH!

1998 spawned an impressive lineup of catchy pop hits, but one song haunted the airwaves like no other with its perfect mix of rapid-fire lyrics and a radio-friendly alt-rock hook. Now, one unlucky college student will learn just how haunting it can be when she listens one too many times to the earworm that is ONE WEEK!

The kids are back! That's right, summer camp is in session and our boys Freddy and Jason are making the most of this SUMMER SLASHERAMA (Part 2)! Tune in this episode to find out what happens when these legendary spree killers get lost in time and must discover a way back to SLASHER CAMP.

It's our 100th episode! We're celebrating with a 2-part SUMMER SLASHERAMA special to indulge in our favorite improv topic: slasher movies! So join us as we imagine what happens when all the best 80s horror flick killers bring the pain to a quiet suburban town…only this town is protected by THE MONSTER SQUAD!

90s kids reveled in the ultraviolence and gore of tournament fighting games so of course cash-grab movie versions were inevitable. But what if we were in charge? We could write a screenplay that proves films based on video games don't always have to suck. But some Hollywood producer douchebag would probably just $@%&in' ruin it… For this episode, wince along with us as we improv-ruin a cinematic adaptation of MORTAL KOMBAT!

We’ve imagined film adaptations of pop songs, an Internet meme, and even board games with no storyline. But what about a book with no words? For this episode, we challenge ourselves to improv a live action movie version of WHERE’S WALDO?

Snake Plissken escaped from New York, L.A., and Earth itself…but he just can't seem to get away from corrupt men in power. Now in space, he'll go face to face with the head of the Zombie Squad, the one and only Marion Cobretti, AKA Cobra. It's a knock-down, drag-out, blockbuster crossover for the ages between these two SNAAAKES IN SPAAACE!

When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth… And we're here for it! Everyone loves a good living dead flick, but who would survive an actual undead plague? In this SUPER GUSHERS special, we gush about our favorite shamblers and imagine how we might fair if the world were overrun by ZOMBIES!
