Did you know that Alex used to work at NABC? Andy also worked at a bank for a period. Only one of them ever owned a gecko, though.

Masters of the Universe isn't doing so great. Is it because it came out too late? 80s nostalgia seems to be on the way out, so maybe they missed the boat. Or maybe they didn't spend enough money, because the two options for success seem to be "ultra low budget" or "hundreds and hundreds of millions".

What's a Squishy? It's a thing you squish. It's also the new craze that every kid demands. We don't understand it. We also don't understand why Pink is hosting the Tonys. Or why people are allowed to cheat alphabetical order. There's a lot we don't get.

Matt is a horse vet. We grew up around horses. It's the perfect match. Matt is also a comedian. We think we're funny, even when we're not. Need I say more? Yes: go to https://mattevanscomic.com/ for more of his comic stylings, and also his book.

Remember your childhood snacks? Remember your childhood TV shows? Of course you do. And so do we. We also remember every lyric to every theme song.

You can't escape Jesse the Shrink, even when he's not actually here. He's put together a contest called Funniest Headliner, and Randall and Maggie are both in it. It's at Gambit Brewing tomorrow, the 9th, and the 16th at 7 PM. The first two shows are free!

On this segment, we watch a political ad. No, we're not getting that sweet campaign fund money quite yet. We were just told it was funny. And it was. Sad, but funny.

Hollywood might be on the downswing. But that doesn't mean movies are making no money - far from it. It's just that half the ones making money are low budget indie horror movies. Is that a good thing? It is if you're sick of endless sequels and derivative works. Not so much if big budget spectacles are more your speed.

The 2025-2026 TV season is over, and the numbers are in. Broadcast TV is in the tens of millions again. Netflix is still higher, but still. We thought TV would be dead at this point.
