Crazy for Swayze

Milf Manor Expert Alicia Massey returns to close out Dirty Dancing Month. Matt Damon is this week's villain and should probably start a Legion of Doom with Ja Rule, Bill Medley, and Bill Murray. We offer another South Park update. Featuring: more Australian accents and EVEN MORE conversation surrounding Rock of Love. Thanks for joining us this month and always!

Literally everything is conspiring to deter us from The Real Dirty Dancing: Episode 4, but luckily we have this EXTRA BONUS EPISODE with Danny and Pickle. We all make fun of Eric Carmen and his weird Hungry Eyes. Josh quickly tells Danny the plot of Dirty Dancing, which apparently he hasn't seen, while Vince pretends to know the words to Merry Clayton's "Yes." Then more Bret Michaels talk. Finally...

Danny and Pickle return! It's time for the beginning of the end of Dirty Dancing Month. Cousin Bergley - with the aid of Portuguese subtitles - takes us by the hand and guides us through this fever dream of a live production. Rather than adaptation, it's a celebration of the Songs of Dirty Dancing (and some other shit we don't care about). Eric Carmen (Hungry Eyes) plays Clarence Boddicker to Bill...

TikTtok Expert Amanda Deveaux joins us to watch the penultimate episode of The Real Dirty Dancing. She did her homework, and tries to win us over to Team Tyler. Vince insists that Beast Wars is good, but we aren't buying it. 

Dirty Dancing month continues! Get your positive dadditude together and get ready to have the time of your life. Kaila Duncan joins us as our Dirty Dancing Expert and we tackle the movie that started it all. Can a fetus be "fridged?" Does anyone know how to reach Conan O'Brien? Is the dancing really THAT Dirty? 

Prior Roommate and Professional Wrestling Expert Beth Wirick joins us for another game of "DID I HAVE TO SEE THE OTHER ONE?" where we delve into the second and possibly last episode of The Real Dirty Dancing. We talk Street Sharks and other brothers, and also say sayonara to Howie and Loni. THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY: Stylish Jim's Turtle & Ooze Emporium (for all your Turtle & Ooze needs!)! Join...

Returning guest and Dirty Dancing Expert Alicia Massey joins us to experience the made-for-TV remake of our beloved classic. We search for rays of sunshine among the gray clouds of this weird "musical" that never fully embraces any aesthetic. Swayze-stand-in Colt Prattes is absurdly ripped. Cultural revisionism and lack of subtext work together to ruin some of our favorite characters and...

Dirty Dancing Month continues with an extra episode every week! Reality TV Expert and new friend, Madison Vogler, joins the Swayze Boys to talk reality TV and competitive dirty dancing. The King of Reality TV (Bret Michaels), is mentioned, of course. Howie from the Backstreet Boys rubs (or grabs) us the wrong way. Vince reveals himself as a Boy Band Expert. RIP to the host of The Real Dirty Dancin...

Dirty Dancing Month Begins! Havana Nights Expert: Jo Burke joins us and injects some knowledge into an otherwise culturally ignorant discussion. Vince does accents and impressions; Josh doubles down when he's wrong. Including: The Walking Dead updates, allusions to The Wire, and becoming a Beast

Meet us down at the Heated Nubbin where there's NO COPS ALLOWED! We're introduced to another Beastly Fed, another alumnus from The Wire, and postulate whether "law enforcement" might be the source of all crime. 

We quickly revisit the other Swayze music video - and Vince's spot-on Ja Rule impression - with Steven Fischer: Music Expert

FADE OUT, AGAIN? Music expert Steven Fischer joins us to discuss a song from a  band that decidedly does not rock and brings Weezer down with them.

GET AWAY FROM THAT FIRE, DROP THAT GUN! Interrogation expert Bud Koltys joins us to ask: what makes a BEAST? what's the opposite of a Beast Boy? and is this show any good at all? Bud tries to bring us down to earth, but Josh invents an elaborate conspiracy theory that's games all the way down. Vince dupes us with a silly question for everyone but him.

The beast brigade returns and handles some general housekeeping. Featuring the return of an old bit: "Why No One Work at Burdger Kimngb?" The emergence of a new bit: "Water or Sciences?" And a A brief interjection of Bill Murray-cast. Share this episode with Bill Murray and maybe he will come onto the pod and prove he isn't sad and weird. EDIT: L.O.W.E. R.O.B. loves cops bu...

WE'RE CRAZY FOR QUESTIONS and our favorite guests are going to ask them. One of them tells only lies, one of them tells only truths: they both tabulate  results in a purely subjective way. Vince wins with diplomacy. Josh laughs too much. Vince is officially Crazier for Swazye-er. 

Merry Chris Kattanmas once more! This time brought to you by Me Undies. We gather around the dining room table to begin a rewatch tradition with Danny & Pickle, and mostly just try to have a nice podcast. Look out for Part 2: Q&A, coming soon! 

Song and Brother Expert Carmel Liburdi joins us to dissect the 6-Song Unofficial Swayze EP. We rediscover what we should have always known: Swayze was a mediocre-at-best musician (at least until the Violin Tapes are released)

Swayze is BACK and more beastly than ever. We're back on our bullshit, thinking fondly of North & South, and singing silly songs. Featuring a list of the top three (?) pantsuit wearers, and the complications of wearing matching outfits for your job. 

Princess expert and sister, Michelle Troia, joins us for a truly horrifying Cinderella story where Robe Lowe is Misogyny the Man and Jennifer Gray is horny for objectification. This is Fashion Corner: The Episode, and features a litany of shoes and a memory of The First Celebrity Sex Tape. Michelle joins the ranks of our guests who don't want to be found.

"On the post-9/11 scale - a scale of 9 to 11 - what would you give this movie?" Steve Guttenberg fumbles his way through a terrorist attack and somehow makes it out alive. Featuring a Lake of Fire, JUICE, C. Thomas Howell, and Bishop Hobo-with-a-Shotgun

Guest host Danny Bolterstein brings us a truly unhinged movie and leads a mostly-unhinged episode. He guides us through a movie that's surprisingly relevant to our recent coverage, Including discussion of Beast Boys, prosthetics, fake commercials, and RoboDude. We love it! And finally: TOMMY! IF YA GOT MONEY HIT US UP GREMLINS 3: DAWN OF DESMOND: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fnwXgLbjeA

Bud Koltys - our dystopian wasteland expert - joins us to discuss a freaky-deaky Dutch guy, surprise kisses, Robococks, and reverse Oedipus complexes (AKA Saturn eating his children). He also informs us of the composer: Basil Poledouris, who is Swayze adjacent in his own right. For reference, Directive 4: "Any attempt to arrest a senior officer of OCP results in shutdown." There is no video or aud...

We're joined by vampire expert and tall, strong woman Jo Burke to talk male feminists, trash TV that makes you gay, and TWIN PEAKS. Today we answer the ultimate question: is Buffy the Vampire Slayer a Marxist text? 

Before the music, Josh completely misunderstands the episode synopsis. Vince is a Beast Boy. Swayze DOES AN ACCENT. We nominate Ol' Ronnie as the inaugural recipient of the Nobel Prize for Jerk-offs; Josh should have nominated himself. 

Pull your trench coat out of the closet and get ready to take both pills. In this week's Swayze Adjacent installment, GENDER IS A MATRIX. Plus, the return of RAD OR BAD DADS and ROBOT RACISM with our BLACK CLOTHES and ASS-KICKING SPECIALIST: ALICIA MASSEY.
