It’s Just A Show

Pod People, you can do magic things! Including sending Chris and Adam flying around the room, talking about Juan Piquer Simón, Music from Some Guys in Space, Roger Roger, Pee-Wee Herman, and Andy Travis.

Happy Labour Day! Hercules and the Captive Women takes the blood of Uranus and… shipwreck… shapeshifter… other stuff… anyway, it all causes Chris and Adam to think about Atlantis, Proteus, Mario Bava, Mario Mario, and Nastassja Kinski.

Terror from the Year 5000 can’t decide whether to steal Chris’s or Adam’s face. Meanwhile, they talk about The Tingler, American International Pictures, intergalactic vacations, KITT, and chiggers.

The Undead follows Chris and Adam back in time, where they talk about The Tingler, Roger Corman, Billy Barty, The Thomas Crown Affair, and (you guessed it) the Cryptkeeper.

The Thing That Couldn’t Die, using plenty of lip and tongue action, psychically commands Chris and Adam to discuss heterosexuality, horror movies, Emperor Hadrian, the Wild West, and Sir Francis Drake’s cakes.

Red Zone Cuba lures Adam and Chris to an endless montage of Coleman Francis, Cuban history, Night Train, bad posture, and old jalopies. With the short: Speech: Platform Posture and Appearance!

The Beast of Yucca Flats. How did it get there? Chris and Adam. Two podcasters. Not yet caught by the whirlwind of progress. Trained to look for topics and talk about them. Benjamin Franklin. Puerto Rico. Coleman Francis. Tony Cardoza. And endless narration, caught in the wheels of justice.

The Skydivers pours hot coffee onto Chris and Adam’s parachutes, but as they plunge to their deaths, they talk about Coleman Francis, Tony Cardoza, the joys of woodworking, fine cups of coffee, and the latest fashions of Hobbiton. With the short: Why Study Industrial Arts?

Phase IV coats Chris and Adam in yellow and demands that they sing the praises of ants, Saul Bass, advertising, pizza, and pasta.

There’s a chimp on the loose as Carnival Magic kidnaps Chris and Adam to ask them about that magic moment between the 70s and the 80s, the mysteries of Al Adamson, lost pornography, unnamed directors, and chimps ahoy!

Even though Angels Revenge is out to stop Chris and Adam from pushing their wares, they manage to talk about all the great stars: Jack Palance, Pat Buttrum, Jim Backus, Johnny Wadd, and Stanley Kubrick!

Adam and Chris, marooned inside their homes as they wait out a pandemic, imagine they are Space Travelers. It doesn’t go so well, and so they close their eyes and think of the vastness of space, Gene Hackman, Bruce Willis, some shady producers, and some shady comedians.

Squirm seems to have already eaten Adam, so Beth rushes in to help Chris escape through worms, egg creams, Georgia, antiques, and a surprising lack of springs. For this episode also features a short: A Case of Spring Fever. No springs!

Master Ninja II appears from the shadows to attack Chris and Adam once again as they consider ninjas, Lee van Cleef, It’s a Living, Sapphire & Steel, Milton Berle, and Tales from the Crypt.

Master Ninja I, a “movie” that is just two episodes of failed 1984 Timothy Van Patten and Lee Van Cleef ninja-’em-up tv show The Master, leaps at Chris and Adam this Leap Day to overhear them talking about karate kids, film ventures, middling families, swamped things, and wheelchair dancing.

Overdrawn at the Memory Bank dopples into the network to ask Adam and Chris to interface with Raul Julia, Doctor Who, Casablanca, tote bags, and anteaters. And remember, podcasts like this wouldn’t be possible without listeners like you.

Gamuary continues as Gamera vs. Gaos causes Chris and Adam to reflect on all the Gamera villains that might have been: the octopus one, the snake one, the ice one, the other ice one, and the one covered in question marks.

Happy Gamuary! Gamera vs. Gaos really threw us for a loop. Adam and Chris try to recombobulate themselves by reminiscing about the joys of Christmas past, beautiful film prints, fountains of blood, robot puberty, and second-rate Gamera songs.

Let’s have a Patrick Swayze Christmas, as Santa Claus Conquers the Martians gathers Chris and Adam round to sing carols about Pia Zadora, Vince Guaraldi, Donald Pleasence, Milton Delugg, and, you guessed it, Patrick Swayze. Happy holidays, whatever you do or don’t celebrate!

What’s this?! The Wild Wild World of Batwoman has forced our heroes, Chris and Adam, to dance the Batusi? Tune in as they discuss the real Batman, another Batwoman, disappointing Draculas, a not-quite Hercules, and ho-hum Days. With the short: Cheating.

Operation Double 007, a.k.a. Operation Kid Brother, reads Chris and Adam’s lips as they discuss James Bond, Moneypenny, M, Ennio Morricone, and Jessye Norman. Happy Turkey Day!

In this very special episode, Chris tells Adam all about going to see MST3K Live! The Great Cheesy Movie Circus Tour.

The Crawling Hand creeps up on all fours towards Adam and Chris as they discuss dead astronauts, dismembered hands, emotional actors, verbal birds, and painful cereals.

Alien from L.A. tries to sell big-boned surface-dwellers Beth and Adam as they talk about Donald “It’s my birthday!” Pleasence, Kathy “Three syllables???" Ireland, Angela “I’d give anything to see my dad again” Pleasence, Menahem “I once worked with DP” Golan, and Yoram "Me too" Globus.

Beth is missing—so Adam and Chris are on The Last Chase, dodging public transit, six-million-dollar men, evil penguins, the music of Mars, and twenty-year-old cans of Coke.
