Elwood and Lackey celebrate Halloween by looking at a pair of shows spun off popular horror franchises, but how true are they to the rest of the franchise?

Elwood and Lackey look back at the origins of the "Naked Gun" trilogy with "Police Squad" as David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker bring thier trademark style of comedy to the small screen while introducing the world to Leslie Nielsen's iconic detective Frank Drebin.

Elwood and Lackey are back for another season of Cult TV goodness kicking things off with "Gravity Falls" a recent Disney show which picked up were "Eerrie Indianna" left off as Dipper and Mabel join thier Grunkle Stan in search of the many mysterys the town hides beneath it's quaint surface.

Plus the round up of the top shows of 2019 so far, Game of Thrones revisited and much more!!

It’s time for another episode of TV Good Sleep Bad,  the cult-TV podcast that is not born into this world fumbling for  meaning! It was created to serve a singular purpose which it will go to  any lengths to fulfill!

(Well, not any lengths, not really. I don’t think we would have shot someone for the opportunity to watch Sapphire and Steel.)

In this episode, we discuss:

Rick and Morty 1.05, “Meeseeks and Destroy” (2014): Morty  convinces Rick to let him lead their latest adventure, one that  ultimately results in him being trapped in a restroom with a lecherous  jellybean. Meanwhile, Rick gives the other Smiths a little something to  get them off his back: magical creatures who exist only to help them  improve their lives. But things take a dark turn when they can’t help  Jerry take two strokes off his golf game.

The Outer Limits 1.15, “The New Breed” (1995): A  terminal cancer patient injects himself with his future  brother-in-law’s body-repairing nanites, but things go disastrously  wrong. Starring Richard Thomas (The Waltons, It, The Americans) and Peter Outerbridge (ReGenesis).

Here it comes, here comes TV Good Sleep Bad! It’s a demon on wheels!

In this episode, we discuss:

Jess Archer vs. the Ex (2011) and Jess Archer Versus. 1.01-1.04 (2016): Sardonic  high school Jess Archer may fantasize about kicking zombie ass, but her  real life features adventure aplenty as she investigates a stolen comic  book and a football team frame-up, all the while trying to convince her  BFF Chase that it’s a bad idea for him to just come storming into the  ladies’ room whenever he feels like it.

Speed Racer 1.01 & 1.02, “The Great Plan (parts 1 & 2)”: Speed  enters his first real race, hoping to win the money Pops needs to  upgrade the Mach 5 into the most advanced racing car yet. But who has  hired the dastardly Ace Deucey to steal the secret plans for the new  Mach 5…?

In this episode, we discuss:

Sapphire and Steel 2.07-2.10, “Assignment IV” aka “The Man Without a Face” (1981): Joanna  Lumley and David McCallum are troubleshooters from beyond time who find  themselves pulled into strange occurrences at an abandoned junk shop,  including a mysterious man with no face, the sudden appearance of  Victorian-era children, and a young woman who spends three straight  episodes “getting ready for work.”

Dark Season (1991): A trio of precocious  students face off against the villainous Mr. Eldritch, a man with a  number of sinister technological toys and a deep, abiding loathing of  human life. Best known for launching the careers of Russell T. Davies  (creator of Queer as Folk and inaugural showrunner of the Doctor Who revival) and Kate Winslet (expect you’ve heard of her).

Sorry this episode is much, much later than it ought to have been,  but mad scientists kidnapped Elwood, Lackey, and special guest Brian  “The Last Angry Geek” Heinz, shot them into space, marooned them on an  orbital satellite, and forced them to watch cheesy cult science-fiction  television shows. (They needn’t have bothered; we watch this kind of  thing by choice.)

In this episode, we discuss:

Mystery Science Theater 3000 4.04, “Teenagers from Outer Space” (1992): This  week’s experiment: a 1959 Warner Bros. cheapie about aliens who plot to  turn Earth into a breeding ground for giant lobsters.

Ultraman 1.10, “The Mysterious Dinosaur Base” (1966): Ultraman takes on a mad scientist who has been breeding a massive dinosaur beneath the waves of Lake Kitayama.

Elwood and Lackey are back to take on two slices of late-night television goodness, in the form of Tom Baker-era Doctor Who and Japan’s tokusatsu take on Spider-Man. Yowza!

In this episode, we discuss:

Doctor Who 17.05-17.08, “City of Death” (1979): The  Doctor and Romana arrive in contemporary Paris and stumble across a  tentacle-faced alien, dangerous time-travel experiments, and a plot to  steal the Mona Lisa.

Supaidāman, episode zero (1978?): Takuya  Yamashiro, a motocross racer with superpowers granted by alien  technology, joins forced with Interpol’s Secret Intelligence Division to  take on Professor Monster and his evil Iron Cross Army.

It’s time once again for another episode of TV Good Sleep Bad! This month, to celebrate the return of The X-Files to  our television screens, we examine not only an episode from the show’s  creative peak but also an installment of one of its strongest  influences. Featuring special guest Will from Exploding Helicopter.

In this episode, we discuss:

The X-Files 4.02, “Home” (1996): Mulder and Scully investigate a clan of hideously deformed inbred freaks, and yet somehow manage to slip in a reference to Babe.

Kolchak: The Night Stalker 1.03, “They Have Been, They Are, They Will Be…” (1974): Dead  zoo animals, disappearing lead ingots, and the appearance of a strange  tar-like substance distract the iconic reporter from something really important: the Cubs making the World Series.

Howdy ho! It’s time for the fifth episode of TV Good Sleep Bad! Gee, it sure does smell all nice and flowery!

In this episode, we discuss:

South Park 1.09, “Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo” (1997): The  residents of South Park struggle to stage a Christmas play that won’t  offend anyone, while Kyle starts talking to a piece of holiday-themed  fecal matter.

South Park 8.14, “A Woodland Critter Christmas” (2004): A group of woodland critters entreat Stan to help them save their Christmas, with disastrous consequences.
