We recently lost Shannon Doherty (American actress known for her work in Heathers (1989); Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–1994), Mallrats (1995); and Charmed (1998–2001)), Dr. Ruth Westheimer (German and American sex therapist and talk show host.), Richard Simmons (American fitness instructor and television personality.), Bob Newhart (American comedian and actor.), and Shelley Duvall (American actress and producer known for her work in Popeye (1980), The Shining (1980), Time Bandits (1981), Tim Burton's short comedy horror film Frankenweenie (1984), and Fred Schepisi's comedy film Roxanne (1987).)

We also talk about some rumors and theories regarding the release of Deadpool & Wolverine. (This episode was recorded during the first day of San Diego Comic Con and at the time we avoided a lot of the rumors and spoilers surrounding the release of the movie.)

We jump into some movie trailers for two upcoming films. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Alien Romulus. (Both films have long since released. More on those in later episodes.) Both films are sequels to older popular films. Beetlejuice (1988) and Alien (1979), respectively.

This begs the question, do we need sequels years, sometimes years later? 

We also get some Professional Wrestling Talk in as we look at the G1 Climax from New Japan Pro Wrestling.

We also talk about actors getting typecast and how they might struggle finding different roles. In particular, Jim Varney or as the audience might know him, Ernest P. Worrell. As Ernest he had a string of comedic hits. But could he have been a more dramatic actor?

Get set, get ready, because this episode is caffeine fueled! And it's a good thing it is as we launch down multiple rabbit holes! And it all starts with a piping hot double shot of coffee.

From there we go into discussions about Mike Tyson and how he reignited his ego for his upcoming bouts, fun stories about the Rocky films and how Sylvester Stallone got the ball rolling for the franchise. Somehow we veer into, The Walking Dead and how bleak it would be to live in a zombie infested world. Which brings up the show, Naked and Afraid.

But we don't stop there. No. We go into Doug's recent trip to the Mahoning Drive-In in Pennsylvania and how they're going to do a screening of, The Crow(1994) for the 30th anniversary.

And from there... you know what? Find out what else we talked about by listening in. We promise you, there's so much more!

Streaming platforms have become the norm. Netflix, Paramount+, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, Max(HBO) and many, many others. All of them have the same thing in common. They want your money, preferably on a monthly basis.

Well, now they are trying create large bundles to entice you when you make your decision. In this case, Disney+, Hulu, and Max(HBO). Would a bundle plan make a difference in your entertainment choices? 

While we talk about TV and movies, we would like to remind you, if you enjoy any show, series, or movie and you want to watch it whenever you so choose, but a physical copy. Bypass all the streaming platforms that can and will pull content on a regular basis depending on viewing trends. Buy it, save it, and enjoy it whenever you want without a monthly subscription.

We start the show with a story out of left field. Hernandez brings us the tale of one, Georgia Tann. Tann was an American social worker and child trafficker who operated the Tennessee Children's Home Society, an unlicensed adoption agency in Memphis, Tennessee. Her operation ran from the 1920's until to 1950. One of her countless victims includes a wrestling legend, Ric Flair.

We also share some stories about recent workout adventures. From power lifting to martial arts, we share some personal experiences.

Then, Doug shares his thoughts on a movie. Late Night with the Devil (2023) starring: David Dastmalchian, Laura Gordon, and Ian Bliss. The supernatrual horror film depicts what happens when a late night talk show invites a former cult member onto the show to talk about their experiences.
