Les, Kurt, and Jason are excited that Les is currently in the homeland of all things Hallmark, Vancouver, Canada as they convene to talk about the baphomet tattoo Blac Chyna is having removed.

Did Hallmark low-key make a...
A Costa Rican Wedding Gets Lost in the Jungle Because Monkeys Stole Anything Potenially Likable about This Movie 27.08.2024 57:22
Les, Kurt, and Jason are about to attend A Costa Rican Wedding, a Hallmark movie that somehow seems to ruin the concept of hot shirtless guys on screen (at least for a moment).

Throwback Thursday Replay: One Royal Holiday 15.08.2024 1:38:46
Les, Kurt, and Jason revisit their 2020 episode where Kurt and Jason realize Les knows Melissa McCarthy but hasn't booked her on the podcast yet!

Les, Kurt, and Jason are experiencing a Brat summer, just like the twinks working at Disneyland.

Then after Blac Chyna Report, it’s time to get into a movie co-starring Blac Chyna: L...
Throwback Thursday Replay: Psycho Stripper 08.08.2024 1:18:38
Les, Kurt, and Jason hop on the pole and head back to their 2019 episode about Lifetime's Psycho Stripper, a movie that prompted Jason to go on a rather epic rant about... cake boxes.

Throwback Thursday Replay: Christmas with a Prince 18.07.2024 1:22:48
Les, Kurt, and Jason travel back to their 2019 episode about Hallmark's Christmas with a Prince, a movie so questionable that the Canadian singer you've probably never heard who appears in the movie will still be someone you've never heard of after you watch the movie.
