This week, we check out the new season of a show that both Nick and Les slowly realized they really, really enjoyed... The Recruit on Netflix! It was a fun season one, and we were happy to hear a new season was coming but then it took SOOOO LONG! And then it arrived with only 6 episodes. Will it be enough? Let's find out!

Hey, folks! Today, we’ve got a treat for fans of cult musicals and sharp satire. We’re celebrating the 25th anniversary of Reefer Madness: The Musical, a hilariously over-the-top sendup of the 1930s anti-marijuana propaganda film. The show first hit the stage in 1998, blending dark comedy, catchy songs, and biting social commentary, and it went on to inspire a star-studded 2005 film adaptation.  

Joining Les today are the brilliant minds behind it all—Kevin Murphy and Dan Studney. Kevin is a prolific writer and lyricist, known for his work on Desperate Housewives and Heathers: The Musical. Dan is an accomplished writer and composer, with credits that include Jack the Giant Slayer and a range of film and TV projects. Together, they crafted Reefer Madness into the cult sensation it is today, and now, they’re back to talk about the newly released 25th anniversary cast recording.  

We’re diving into the show’s origins, its journey to cult status, and what makes this new recording special—so stick around! 

This week, the Dudes swing into action with the new Spidey show on Disney Plus! Will the CG Animation work for the Dudes? Let's find out!
