401 VelociPastor II Interview Jurassic Park Trivia Comic Con Carrie

Doom Scrolling Intro

The Foos kick off the 400s with yard-work injuries, mosquito attacks, and the ongoing backyard project that may or may not destroy Joe’s arm before it’s done. Steph explains her mosquito bite allergy situation, Joe suspects he messed up his elbow trenching in 90-degree weather, and somehow this still counts as progress.

Geeking Out starts with San Diego Comic-Con week: Marvel is expected to bring Avengers Doomsday heat to Hall H, Insomniac is showing off Marvel’s Wolverine, DC is bringing Batman: Caped Crusader and Lanterns energy, Guillermo del Toro is tied to Pan’s Labyrinth programming, and The VelociPastor II is premiering at the con with a double feature of the original movie.

Then it’s horror TV news: Mike Flanagan is bringing Stephen King’s Carrie to Prime Video as a series, which actually makes sense given his track record with Gerald’s Game and Doctor Sleep. The Foos also talk American Horror Story Season 13 bringing back a massive lineup of franchise favorites, including Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, and Billie Lourd.

In honor of Sam Neill, Steph runs Joe through Jurassic Park trivia focused on the original movie. There are correct answers, wrong answers, technical difficulties, a timer disaster, and the realization that the first dinosaur they see is not the Triceratops with the giant pile of poop.

The main event is an interview with Jesse Gouldsberry, director of The VelociPastor II and producer/director of photography on the original VelociPastor. Jesse talks about how a fake title and college short became a real cult movie, how the first trailer went micro-viral and even landed on G4’s Attack of the Show, the jump from the first film’s tiny budget to the sequel, and why having more money doesn’t mean losing the handmade chaos.

They dig into the fake Australian trailer narration, the legendary “VFX: Car on fire” placeholder gag, balancing intentionally ridiculous filmmaking with actual story structure, the pressure of making a sequel to a cult favorite, and the DIY production choices that keep the movie feeling like community-theater grindhouse insanity in the best way possible.

Jesse also talks about premiering The VelociPastor II in a 14th-century church in Prague, bringing it to San Diego Comic-Con, planning a roadshow, getting rights back to the first film, possible future streaming/distribution plans, and why fans should ask their local theaters to bring the movie to town.

400 Moo Deng Neil the Seal Comic Con Doug Brode Shelli Interview

Doom Scrolling Intro

The Foos made it to 400 episodes. Joe and Steph celebrate with VMC cocktails, reflect on 8 years of The Foobar Show, and explain why some older episodes have disappeared from platforms over time. No huge blowout, no fake promises — just 400 episodes, a toast, and the usual chaos.

The animal kingdom takes over the top of the show: Moo Deng officially turns 2, proving that the internet’s favorite pygmy hippo is still the queen of slippery rage, bouncy pork energy, and conservation awareness. Then Neil the Seal finally takes his 2,200-pound chaotic ass back into the ocean after weeks of lounging around Tasmania, blocking roads, flattening signs, and refusing to respect anything vertical.

Joe and Steph also explain why the podcast has been spotty lately: life, work, band stuff, Steph’s Sunday schedule, and the massive backyard facelift happening because Steph volunteered the house for her brother’s baby shower. There’s also some Medieval Times talk because sometimes you just need dinner, jousting, horses, and giant beer steins.

Geeking Out starts with San Diego Comic-Con: they didn’t get badges, of course, but there’s still plenty happening outside the convention — themed cafes, Paramount at the Lodge, Hello Kitty, Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes, Star Trek experiences, and all the badge-free chaos that makes downtown San Diego worth visiting during Comic-Con week.

They also hit LA Comic Con tickets going on sale, with the convention returning October 30 through November 1 and guests already including Aaron Paul, Dean Norris, and performers from K-Pop Demon Hunters.

Then it’s long-awaited movie news: Legend of the White Dragon finally has a release date. The Jason David Frank-led, Power Rangers-adjacent action movie arrives August 28, and the Foos have been waiting years for this one.

Avatar fans get love too: Aang: The Last Airbender is coming to Paramount+ on July 25 as a movie featuring an older Aang and the gang trying to save the world again. Joe and Steph revisit why the original Avatar series still holds up as one of the best animated shows ever made — adult themes, perfect pacing, emotional stakes, and Appa trauma included.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey also enters the chat, with Matt Damon as Odysseus and a massive cast including Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, and Jon Bernthal. Practical ships, real locations, giant crowds, IMAX cameras, Greek mythology, and enough complicated storytelling to make Nolan feel right at home.

The big feature this week is an interview with returning guest Doug Brode, storyboard/concept artist and author of the Ship saga and the Shelli synthetic crime series. Doug talks about Shelli: R-Evolution, why it is not actually the final Shelli book, how the series has grown, the challenge of writing sequels that stand alone, AI and synthetics, keeping villains understandable, writing in silence, short chapters, and why Shelli’s world keeps expanding. He also shares that the first Shelli book is getting a 99-cent Kindle BookBub deal starting July 15.

399 Disclosure Day TMNT Pizza Ocarina Remake Management Regret

Doom Scrolling Intro

The Foos are one episode away from 400, and while a big blowout special is still a “real big maybe,” they take a moment to acknowledge the milestone and the long, weird road to getting there.

They recap a productive weekend, including house chores and a trip to LA to see Sparta open for Local H opening for The Toadies at the Belasco. Joe nerds out over Sparta’s At the Drive-In connection, Local H’s two-piece setup that somehow sounds like a full band, and The Toadies delivering plenty from the Possum Kingdom era. Also: a drunk guy in the pit goes way harder than the songs require.

This week’s Florida story features a fugitive accused of stealing crab legs from Winn-Dixie, then allegedly hiding inside an air conditioner air handler behind ductwork while his girlfriend hides in a closet. Because in Florida, seafood theft apparently turns you into HVAC.

Geeking Out starts with Steven Spielberg’s new alien thriller Disclosure Day, which opened big and brings Spielberg back into the alien-movie conversation. The Foos talk practical creativity versus AI, including Emily Blunt reportedly creating her alien clicking voice herself instead of using AI.

Then it’s food and nostalgia: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pizzeria is opening in Santa Monica on June 20, fully decked out with cartoon-style décor, merch, neon turtle faces, and a pizza pickup counter designed like the front of the Turtle Van. They also shout out 50 Burger in Upland as a legit local smash burger spot.

Nintendo drops a nostalgia bomb with a Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake planned for 2026, plus Switch/Switch 2 news and more from Nintendo Direct. The Foos compare it to the larger trend of remakes and remasters like Resident Evil and Final Fantasy.

DC talk continues with Lanterns, the upcoming HBO Max series being pitched like a darker detective drama in the style of True Detective, plus My Adventures with Superman returning with a Reign of Superman-inspired season.

Steph also spotlights Larry David’s upcoming historical comedy series The Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America, which looks exactly like Larry David being dropped into major moments in history and complaining his way through them.

Tech Talk makes a brief appearance with Logitech’s MobiFold, a tiny foldable portable mouse that sounds surprisingly practical. They also remind listeners that Doug Brody’s Shelley: Our Evolution is coming out June 19, and Steph is already deep into the book.

Here’s What I Would Do gets unusually existential:
Michael (Irvine) got the management promotion he worked toward for years, but now misses the hands-on work he actually enjoyed.
Rachel (Pasadena) isn’t sure whether she wants kids, because both versions of the future — parenthood or child-free life — seem like they could be happy, and choosing one means letting go of the other.

398 Supergirl Sci Fi Surprise Wolverine Game I Farted in Yoga

Doom Scrolling Intro

Steph kicks off a health reset (no drink tonight, trying to get less jiggly) while the Foos shout out a genuinely great local find: Pizza & Such in Ontario for Detroit-style deep dish — crunchy crust, honey drizzle, and somehow not feeling heavy afterward. Steph also shows off a tiny Kodak keychain-sized digital camera birthday gift, instantly turning it into a chaotic show-and-tell moment (complete with battery dying mid-demo).

Then the absurd news story: London police are investigating a serial graffiti artist tagging walls with “I farted in yoga” (stylized with backwards letters and crude cartoons). No message, no politics, no manifesto — just a fart confession turning into a real police case. Somewhere in London, someone from that yoga class knows exactly who it is.

Geeking Out starts with a surprise favorite: Project Hail Mary — the Foos accidentally watched one of the best sci-fi movies in years. They rave about Ryan Gosling’s perfect funny/serious blend, the suspense, and how the movie guides you through without forcing you to do homework-level thinking. Steph calls it a straight 10.

Supergirl hype continues too: new footage and promo materials tease a version that isn’t “female Superman,” but a harsher, more traumatized character shaped by Krypton’s collapse — with the Woman of Tomorrow tone guiding the adaptation.

Then it’s Summer Game Fest 2026 news: the event fully replaces what E3 used to be, delivering trailers and spectacle without the old trade show baggage. The Foos hit the biggest reveals and favorites: Resident Evil Code Veronica coming in 2027 (Claire Redfield spotlight), The Last Ronin getting revealed as a game (no release date yet), Star Wars Zero Company, major anticipation for Wolverine (bloody, intense gameplay from the Spider-Man studio), Final Fantasy VII Rebirth/Revelation trailer pointing to Spring 2027, Attack on Titan 3, and Marvel 1943 Rise of Hydra putting Captain America and Black Panther into a WWII setting with Unreal Engine 5 visuals.

Here’s What I Would Do brings two neighborhood problems:

Jason (Fontana) is being terrorized by a neighbor’s rooster that starts screaming at 5:15 AM like it’s offended by the sun.

Chris (Marietta) accidentally became the “hangout house” and now his friends schedule events at his place like it’s a public venue — to the point where he finds out via group chat.

They wrap with a quick tease: next week’s show plans include Sparta opening for Local H opening for Toadies, with doors at 6 and the first band at 7.

397 Year 9: Start

Doom Scrolling Intro

The Foos celebrate 8 years of the FOOBAR Show (and quietly admit that simply mentioning it is basically the anniversary special). They catch up on the last couple weeks: staying busy, missing an episode, and committing to keeping the show going whenever life allows.

Florida stays undefeated: a man gets arrested outside a Taco Bell after allegedly exposing himself — and deputies find a live betta fish in his backpack. The fish gets handed off safely, then promptly earns the only correct name possible: Baja Blast.

Geeking Out starts with The Boys sticking the landing. The finale brings the chaos and the gore, but also more emotional closure than expected — and the Foos talk through the big swings, the character wrap-ups, and why a hopeful ending still felt on-brand even if some people are nitpicking plot holes.

Next up: Spider-Man Noir premieres with Nicolas Cage as an older, worn-down private investigator version of Spider-Man in 1930s New York — and the coolest part is you can watch it in true black-and-white or in a stylized color version. The Foos are watching it in black-and-white for maximum noir vibes and it’s hitting like a detective story first, superhero story second.

Then the X-Men ’97 Season 2 trailer finally drops, confirming the return date and teasing time-scattered X-Men, Apocalypse energy, and a bigger multi-season plan. The Foos dig into the hype, the tone, and what they hope stays consistent from the first season.

They also recap seeing The Mandalorian and Grogu in ScreenX and break down what that format actually is: one main screen with projected side-wall visuals that kick in during big action and flight sequences. The verdict: it’s basically a long, fun standalone Mandalorian episode — and that’s exactly why it works.

Steph closes Geeking Out with a heads-up for the Pokémon die-hards: Pokémon XP — the first fan convention hosted by The Pokémon Company International — is coming to San Francisco in August alongside the Pokémon Championships. There’s a single-day pass interest list window and it’s basically a lottery, so if you want in, get on it.

Here’s What I Would Do includes a follow-up victory lap from Alyssa (Costa Mesa) who turned off location sharing, survived, and refused to turn it back on even when her boyfriend got lost — plus a new letter from Brian (Temecula) whose wife keeps volunteering him for random community service missions without asking first.

396 Mortal Kombat 2 Invincible Finale Boys Backlash Flight of the Conchords

Doom Scrolling Intro

Steph kicks things off with a Tip Top canned cocktail (Jungle Bird) while the Foos recap a packed weekend: Joe’s work family-day picnic vibes, notes for next year (more trucks, coffee cart dreams, boba cart fantasies), and a throwback hang with old band friends at Richie’s birthday — the same house where they used to throw teenage ragers. Joe lands a darkly perfect joke: the only time people call you “young” at 40 is at your funeral.

Then Florida delivers, as always: a homeless man allegedly catches a felony after throwing an open ketchup packet at a Good Samaritan who checked on him — with the real story being the drugs they reportedly found afterward. Florida stays undefeated.

Geeking Out is stacked: the Foos review Mortal Kombat 2 (May 8) and declare it’s basically a full-on Johnny Cage movie — bigger scale, more classic characters, more fan service, and fight scenes that feel like the game’s arenas brought to life. They roast a friend for making it halfway through the movie before realizing he thought he was watching Street Fighter.

They also hit the Invincible season 4 finale fallout: Mark’s trauma, Thragg stepping up as the looming big threat, Viltrumite chaos, and the internet’s meme machine going into overdrive (mustaches included). Then it’s The Boys discourse: the newest episode getting the lowest rating of the series, pacing complaints, and the show flirting with burnout — plus the wild release idea of the series finale in 4DX one day early… and the local showings basically selling out instantly.

From there it’s rapid-fire: Green Day’s upcoming comedy movie Nimrods (Legion M involvement), the Swatch x Audemars Piguet “Royal Pop” collab causing real-world chaos (lines, cops, pepper spray) over a watch you can’t even buy online, and a Mortal Kombat trivia quiz where Steph nearly goes perfect… until the razor-hat question exposes the Kung Lao/Liu Kang mix-up.

Here’s What I Would Do wraps with two dilemmas:
Tori (Burbank) thinks a married coworker is crossing the line with “work spouse” energy and wants to shut it down without workplace fallout.
Alyssa (Costa Mesa) agreed to location sharing with her boyfriend and now feels watched — and the Foos call it what it is: modern convenience turning into surveillance real fast.

Before the outro, they shout out the Flight of the Conchords show at the Greek (their first time in years), with surprise moments and guests — and plenty of “Netflix is a joke” energy.

395 Clayface Horror Movie Maul Shadow Lord AniMay Free Comic Book Day

Doom Scrolling Intro

Steph opens with a wild work moment: getting called a “fat bitch” by a frustrated patient during physical therapy — and somehow holding it together professionally while dying laughing internally. The Foos ease into the weekend recap with drinks (Steph’s whiskey-limoncello highball, Joe’s Michelob Ultra “carb watch” era), a Shoelace Express show at Pro5 in Upland, and Joe accidentally driving to the wrong Eureka because he didn’t realize there’s more than one.

Then the Florida chaos arrives: a woman allegedly trashes a Subway over peppers on her mobile order — knocking equipment around, throwing trays, and earning herself an arrest for criminal mischief. Florida, never change.

Geeking Out starts with DC going full horror: Clayface is getting a biological horror-thriller treatment, leaning hard into the actor-turned-monster origin and the “this is not a superhero movie” vibe. They talk why Batman villains can be more interesting when Batman isn’t even in the story, and take a quick shot at Sony’s villain-movie track record (with Venom being the best of the bunch).

Star Wars Maul Shadow Lord continues heating up, with episodes dropping in pairs and the finale landing on May 4 for Star Wars Day. The Foos debate Maul vs Vader, who’s scarier vs who’s more interesting to watch, and even who has the better skincare routine (spoiler: Vader’s face is not winning any awards).

Then anime gets its own month: Crunchyroll turns May into AniMay with watch parties, award tie-ins, theater events, and big headliners like Chainsaw Man the Movie and Re:Zero content — followed by the eternal question: who has a Crunchyroll login they can borrow?

They also dig into a Magic: The Gathering resurgence (Vegas buy/sell events, collabs like Spider-Man and Avengers, and whether they should start playing again), plus hype for the new Mortal Kombat movie and favorite characters.

Before signing off, Steph drops a genuinely useful heads-up: Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 2 — 24 free titles across publishers, perfect for newcomers to sample different vibes. She highlights a few standouts and brings up AWA’s Telepaths — which is getting an Apple adaptation called Liminal starring Vanessa Kirby and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

Sports makes a brief, chaotic comeback too: MLB glove break-in methods, including steaming… and one player straight-up microwaving his glove for two minutes.

394 Ontario Tower Buzzards Endgame Rerelease Superman Day Errands Spiral

Doom Scrolling Intro

The Foos recap their first trip to an Ontario Tower Buzzards game — the new Dodgers affiliate — and break down why minor league baseball rules: cheap tickets, great sightlines everywhere in the stadium, room to roam, and an overall vibe that feels worth what the city spent building it. They talk pre-gaming in the car, grabbing jerseys and hats, and how Ontario’s growing into a legit local sports hub alongside the Reign.

Geeking Out turns into a mini rant about Disney’s latest money move: re-releasing Avengers Endgame with added scenes to “bridge” into Avengers Doomsday — plus the rollout of Infinity Vision, Disney’s premium large-format branding meant to compete with IMAX. They also touch on the chaos of closed-door Doomsday trailers, fake AI trailers spreading online, and why Marvel feels more fragmented than ever.

Then it’s all about Superman Day (April 18): LA pop-ups, photo ops, limited edition art board facsimiles, and the never-ending temptation of collector merch. Steph’s especially hyped for the new Supergirl and loves the emotional angle of her Krypton story — and why that pain might explain her red-sun partying habits.

Here’s What I Would Do features two very relatable workaday dilemmas:
Kevin (Pomona) accidentally becomes “Safety Net” at work and wants to kill the nickname before it becomes his entire job description.
Tara (Upland) can’t run a single errand without it turning into a 3-stop spiral that eats two hours and a piece of her soul — and the Foos confirm this is basically adulthood now.

393 Kit Kat Heist Darth Maul Punisher Special Ontario Tower Buzzards

Doom Scrolling Intro

Steph shows off her Universal Studios Japan 25th Anniversary Pikachu headgear and the Foos talk about how Japan does theme-park merch the right way: nobody’s “too cool,” and the fluffier the headwear, the better.

Then Joe brings a bizarre real-world mystery: a shipment of 12 metric tons of Kit Kat bars vanishing in transit from Italy to Poland — and how brands immediately turned it into a full-on social media roast fest. There’s even a tracker that lets you check lot numbers to see if your Kit Kat came from the stolen shipment.

Geeking Out kicks off with Euphoria Season 3 premiering at Coachella (April 12) before hitting streaming — and a quick reality check on why Coachella is a young person’s sport (and why “camping” at festival prices is basically just paying to roleplay homelessness).

From there it’s straight into the nerd pipeline: Star Wars Maul Shadow Lord drops on Disney+ (Darth Maul rebuilding his criminal empire post–Clone Wars), plus a Marvel street-level shot of adrenaline — The Punisher One Last Kill arriving May 12 with Jon Bernthal back as Frank Castle.

They also hit rapid-fire updates: Paradise is officially locked in for a third and final season, The Boys returns (final season, allegedly the most brutal yet), Invincible Season 4 is out with the finale coming soon, and the Foos keep chipping away at The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel while talking about Lenny Bruce, comedy history, and how the show’s jokes evolve season to season.

Here’s What I Would Do stays light and funny:

Luis (Ontario) gets emotionally abandoned by his longtime barber and spirals into bad-haircut distrust.

Danielle (Chino Hills) is losing her mind because nobody respects RSVP deadlines anymore, and the Foos break down the only correct approach: deadline = yes/no, no “maybe.”

Before they bounce, they give Ontario some love: the new minor league baseball team Ontario Tower Buzzards, why minor league games are underrated, and how it’s just nice having affordable local sports nearby.
