Leighton Night with Brian Wecht

Today we're joined once again by our wonderful friends Paul and Eli from CheapShow (ig: @cheapshowpod)! If you're not already on our Patreon, this is one you absolutely want to see the video episode for due to an unprecedented amount of visual gags, one of which makes Brian cry a little bit. We discuss very normal stuff about wolves, movies, a bunch of random old man stuff that I, as a zoomer, ble...

Today we're joined by the very talented musician/our friend Jackson Lee (ig/tiktok: @jackvdp) for a chat about flavored toothpicks, Glen Powell, rom coms, guitar tabs, Jack's totally real rich dad, lying to strangers, and more!

GO TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR THE FREE VIDEO EPISODE UNLOCKED FROM OUR PATREON! The date is April 2, 2021. To celebrate hitting 300 patrons, Brian Wecht smokes weed basically for the first time. We're joined by a variety of mystery guests for the festivities. It's a good one and also a time capsule that is making me feel old and decrepit. Check it out. Do you hate ads but love this show? Do you wa...

It's a short and sweet solo! We spend a lot of time classifying a new taxonomy of mediocre-but-good movies, and talk about some video games and stuff. Once again I ask: does anyone read these descriptions? Is it really going to sway whether you listen to this episode or not? How can a loving god cause such pain? Do you hate ads but love this show?

We do, however, have two video episodes with some of our favorite guests, Adam Becker and Wolves of Glendale (Eps 239 and 269)!

Jory)" from February 4th, and "so nutty... so buttery" from February 25th, both tours de force of midweek rambling. It's a veritable pu pu platter of trenchant insights and bon mots.  Did these two minis wet your whistle...

Brian's away, so the gamers will play. We're here to discuss not only season one of the Fallout show, but the general trajectory of the series-- ragging on Fallout 4, some Fallout 76 apologia, what made the original games so special, and more.

We're here with our unofficial third host and certified rapscallion Jory Griffis to talk about Resident Evil: Requiem and watch the terrible film E.T. Go to our Patreon to enjoy our commentary track either with or without the movie; it goes crazy in the second half once we completely turn on the movie and start fantasizing about all the ways that little alien menace could bite it for good. How abo...

Oh, did you think we were done doing the 299 tease? Are you tired of it? We aren't! We can do this all day. And tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day. Forever. Anyway, we talk about snacks and video game scores and other stuff in this one and I'm not sure if people even read these. Is there any point in listing vague topics we "cover" as if mention of "video game scores" will either entice...
