What if the biggest problem with Dracula wasn't the whole sucking-blood thing, but really just that he's kind of a dick? That's the question we explore in this unlocked former-Patreon exclusive. Marty and Dan redisocer the lost anime Dracula:Soverign of the Damned - a technically-Marvel movie where Dracua takes Satan's girlfriend. No, I don't mean they have an affair, he just kinda takes her. Not...

Sex educator, friend of the show, and woman of many talents Dr. Timaree Schmit stops by the show to talk about Paul and Jamie's bedroom trouble, and how it becomes everyone else's problem.

Show friend Harris "Dr. Nerdlove" O'Malley is back to talk about THE FUTURE of 1994. In this episode of Mad About You, Paul has a steamy virtual reality encounter with a computer-generated Christie Brinkley and that's somehow the second thing Jamie is mad about.

It's a brand new mini-series! We're taking it to the 90s with the bickering banter of Mad About You!

It's our Seson Finale, and we're talking about 1998's Pleasantville , a movie where a black-and-white sitcom turns color and everyone gets really mad about it! Sound familiar? We talk about all that P-Ville has going on, which is a lot - and everything it does really well, which is most of it, and the stuff it doesn't do well, which is... whooo, buddy. Anyway, remember if there's an issue with thi...

In this episode we take on the worst Twilight Zone episode, featuring TV's most irritating man. Also Marty read a book and now everyone has to hear about it.

Note:  Chuck Norris has died. In "tribute", enjoy this 2019 bonus episode we recorded about a particularly terrible episode of Walker Texas Ranger. For more bonus episodes, subscribe to our Patreon ! Original description:  It's a special bonus episode are Marty and Dan meet another CBS lawman, Texas Ranger Sergeant Cordelle Walker. We're amazed as Walker takes on the Yak-a-za, in an episode that's...

This episode gets weird as we talk about Ringo Starr's hypothetical podcast, decide another thing is a CIA psyop, and debate philosophically about threesomes. We relate to teens with the most relatable teen show in the country, a show loved by teens in a way we definitely understand. There's music in this episode too and all of it is bad. Season 6, Episode 30 "A Singer In Town" A podcast that's ac...

In this episode we get into the TRUTH and ask HARD QUESTIONS. What really happened at the Battle of Mayberry? Who's horny for commercial pitchmen? How far will Dan go to avoid talking about an episode he hated? It's Season 6, Episode 27 "The Foster Lady" and Episode 29 "The Battle of Mayberry"! Like this?

In this episode, Marty has some questions about a potato chip brand and Andy Griffith tells us all why it's bad for women to have jobs. It's Andy Griffith Season 6, Episode 28 "Goober's Replacement"

Marty and Dan return with good vibes for the new year and a new sidekick for Andy. Opie almost kills a baby and Marty has a scuffle in a government office. Andy Griffith Season 6, Episodes 24 and 25 "A Baby in the House" and "The County Clerk."

Honestly somehow our most Catholic episode, in spite of the slurs not because of them. We deal with some gross episodes from Season 6, including one we can't write the title of without using a slur, so have fun with that!

POP QUIZ HOTSHOT! There's an episode of Andy Griffith that's actually good and Dan doesn't want to talk about it, but if you don't do a schtick the podcast will explode.  What do you do? What do you do? Well in our case you vamp and try to figure out the exact amount of lung damage needed to do a perfect RFK Jr impression. It's Andy Griffith Show Season 6, Episodes 21 and 22 "Aunt Bee Learns to Dr...

No longer in GLEE-land, the boys can't help but talk about Tombstone and funerals. A wild west show moves into town and Aunt Bee commits insurance fraud in Andy Griffith Season 6, Episodes 19 and 20 "Lost and Found" and "Wyatt Earp Rides Again".

As we cover our final Glee episode, Season 6's "Child Star", we break down our final therapy feelings about the New Directions, what happens when nostalgia comes for us, and the rich history of tentacle porn.

We spend a lot of this episode talking about Lea Michele's insane broadway career because it's the least upsetting part of what we're going to discuss. This is the Season 5 Glee episode "The End of Twerk" (or something like that, I'm not looking it up) and there is... SO MUCH here. None of it good. Some of it horrifying. We hate this.

NOTICE: This is the Glee school shooting episode. We talk about the school shooting parts from about 40:00 to 51:30. Okay look there's really nothing funny here but Glee's gonna try to find something they can use! Ryan Murphy's never met a tragedy he couldn't exploit. Also, there's some stuff in here about catfishing which is INSANE. If you like this, leave a rating and review, follow us on  Blues...

Host, gamer, and mighty little man Jeff Stormer from the Party of One Podcast comes by to talk about some TV with RPG elements - namely 00's Disney Channel hit Lizzie Mcguire and the hottest TV show we almost did a podcast about - Young Sheldon! We talk about Lizzie's fashion and their weird hatred for liking stuff, and Marty has a real revelation about his viewing habits. Listen to Marty play Lig...

The Glee Club is back in session and the boy's recording studio - like the Glee club's practice room on GLEE - is in a state of flux. There are crushes that make no sense, songs that shouldn't be good, and a joke that didn't not-age-well because it was already gross as hell to begin with. If you like this, leave a rating and review, follow us on  Bluesky , visit our  Patreon  or email us at breaki...

Okay, so the Glee-kend continues and we were pretty drunk at this point, I don't know what to tell you. Angry showers and Duran Duran montages happen in this one. Also, texting and driving is bad, kids. It's Season 3, Episode 3, "Big Brother" Special thanks to Kae Lani Palmisano for helping us narrate this intro.

Marty and Dan meet the Susan and Sharon, the 80s TV Ladies for a two-parter dedicated to the magical '60s sitcom Bewitched. We learn the barbaric nature of early pregnancy tests, talk about the "secret sexy magic lady" subgenre, and mostly have fun with a chimp wearing little people clothes! Check out 80s TV Ladies for the other half of the crossover! If you like this, leave a rating and review, f...

Hey pal, are you going through a tough time? Trouble at home? Parents not doing well? Well, how do you think that makes ME feel, huh?! I gotta like, live while you're over there being sad?  Have you ever thought about how your being sad affects me, the star of Glee and also reality? (These people are all sociopaths, holy shit.) It's Season 2, Episode 3 of Glee - "Grilled Cheezus" If you like this,...
