David wasn’t lying! Here is the 45 put out by Ian and David’s high school socials teachers!

Time for the show that makes your phone say to your pod application, “Get your podcast off of me you damn dirty app!”

Jason Dedrick, Eric Fell and Vicky Van talk about the classic 1968 film of monkey see, monkey doom Planet of the Apes. Yes we know the apes aren’t monkeys. Let’s just move on.

This episode, the hosts enjoy some banana daiquiris. Here’s a video on how to make one.

They also invent The Forbidden Zone.

Want to make it? Here’s the recipe:

The producer’s wife was surprised by the warm pleasant aftertaste. (Unlike the aftermath of a doomed civilization.)

If you do make the The Forbidden Zone or come up with one of your own, please send a picture to [email protected] by following this link! Even if you don’t, we’d still love to hear from you.

Eric was kind enough to bring along his Dr. Zaius action figure.

Which led up to finding some other rare action figures:

He also directed us to Hanging with Dr. Z by Dana Gould:

Thanks for listening.

If you’d like to see the Hergé documentary discussed in the show, then follow this link.

Here is the trailer for Penthouse’s production of Caligula. (We’ve never seen the film, but the trailer uses Prokofiev’s score from the ballet Romeo and Juliet, which we can’t imagine was used in the actual movie!):

It’s hard to find a good representation of They Call Her One-Eye online, but this testimonial from Trailers from Hell gives a good sense of the film:

If you’re interested in the Herb Trimpe documentary that was discussed on the show, then cast your eyes on this:

Hola, Sneakers! Welcome to the podcast that regrets its individuality!

This week: [scratching sound of needle being taken off record]

Sorry, folks, quick post this week as we recorded on Friday, went to see a comedy show after recording, and I – David- am going down to the States with Lezah in ten minutes.

So no “hilarious” puns this week, no obscure references to song titles and no…whatever else I do here.

Thanks for listening! We love you all!

Question of the Week: What comedian that we don’t know about should we know about?
Sub-question of the Week: You have to write your manifesto. What is your topic?
Sub-sub-question of the Week: What Queen song could be transformed into a song to be sung by Eddie Murphy? [Terrible puns encouraged!]

What’s the greatest escape? Getting lost in a delightful podcast episode discussing the 1963 Steve McQueen classic (with surprisingly little Steve McQueen).
Our hosts Jason Dedrick, Eric Fell and Vicky Van spend some time in the cooler that is Hellkitty Studios in the wintertime going over their memories of the film.

They also enjoy a beverage called The Grape Escape.

Want to make it? Follow this link!

If you’d rather see a full on happy ending, this video game has you covered…

The gang also make up their own tribute drink, the TUNNEL VISION, which the producer’s wife says has a very nice aftertaste, but needs more schnapps.
Here’s how to make it:

They also have some delicious Heroes mini candy.

If you do make the The Grape Escape or Tunnel Vision or come up with one of your own, please send a picture to [email protected] by following this link! Even if you don’t, we’d still love to hear from you.

Ed Draganski sent in a drink suggestion: it’s called Swamp Water at a local restaurant, but let’s call it Sneak Water.

But may we suggest a gummy dragon in place of the gummy worm?

Gremlins 2: The New Batch. The film so nice they made it twice. Listen as our mischievous hosts Jason Dedrick, Eric Fell and Vicky Van let us know if this sequel Trumps the first.

They also create a drink based on this messy mix of a movie. It’s called The Clamp. Want to make it? Here’s how:

If you do decide to make this, remember not to drink it in the daylight, lest it get you wet, or have it after midnight. And please take a picture and send it to us. Also let us know if you agree Gizmo just needed to stay in that damn drawer.

You can post it here or email us at this link! (Even if you don’t, we’d still love to hear from you.)

Here is the drink suggested by Louise. Unfortunately, the layers weren’t well defined and the drink itself is not on fire, but this is how it looked:

Here is the fun meme that Eve created to celebrate Reesa’s safe return:

Jason mentioned Almost Midnight – the sketch comedy show he performed in with friends. Here is a sketch from one of their shows:

And here is the trailer for The Lady in the Lake. This trailer created a real Mandela Effect for us as there is clearly instrumental music in the trailer. Was it also used in the movie? Did we selectively remember only the parts using voices? (And by “we” I mean “Dave”.)
