Leighton Night with Brian Wecht

We're back with a REAL episode this time. We promise. We're on the path to fix our past wrongs, i.e. having to scrap the last episode we recorded because it was too bad to air. Do we atone for our sins and reclaim our honor on this ep? Listen to find out! We discuss a variety of things: board games, Breaking Bad, phone etiquette, sangria, toxic masculinity, and more! Do you hate ads but love this...

We're back with another supercut of re-runs, because we both have busy lives, for which we are incredibly sorry. What we're not sorry for is MORE JORY CONTENT! Here we have three wonderful eps with our most frequent guest/unofficial third co-host Mr. Jory Griffis! This selection includes his inaugural appearance, Episode 2: Jory Griffis, Movie Boy; Episode 46: Keanu Reeves Thirst Quest; and Episod...

Happy Halloween folks! WE'RE RANKING HORROR MOVIES (NOT CLICKBAIT!) ie. creating our Official Podcast Horror Movie Canon List- We go through our horror movie picks for categories SUCH AS: Horror Movies that are fun and not too scary for kids, Movies so good that people forget to list them but then you watch and you think "wow that movie IS good," Honorary Scaries where the movie isn't horror but D...

Today we're joined by Emmy award winning writer and musician Genevieve LeDoux (ig: @last_unicorn_mom) for a chat about her new music project, Neil Diamond (and his various crimes), E.T. (and his selfless heroics), living in Georgia, kid-friendly horror, Jersey foods, and more! This is a fun one. You can check out Star Forest at www.starforest.rocks. Do you hate ads but love this show? Do you want...

Now, here's what's gonna happen. You're gonna press the play button on whichever platform you're listening to this thing on, be it Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or whatever the hell else, and you're gonna sit quietly and listen to this entire thing. You may hear some things you like; you may hear some things you don't. Depends on what you're into. Doesn't really matter to me. You would be amazed by how...

Happy October! We're continuing our annual tradition of re-airing all three episodes of Leighton's horror history series Deep Cuts in one convenient package for your listening pleasure. Learn about the surprising origins of the found footage genre, all the entries pre-dating The Blair Witch Project, a massive section on Blair Witch (duh), and everything that came after. If you're looking for some...

Greetings, scumbags. We're here with another listicle episode-- this time ranking the great scumbags of cinema (and TV). This one is sure to be controversial. Can you be too high class to be a scumbag? Who's too evil to be a scumbag? Are all fictional lawyers scumbags? All this, and more. Some of these entries will SHOCK you. And the ranking order may infuriate you. It's short and sweet and starts...

Sigh. We're back with a deeper dive into the nitty gritty of this godawful book. Learn more about non-local consciousness and non-local consciousness and non-local consciousness and more non-local consciousness. Are you sick of hearing that phrase? SO ARE WE. We cover the awful "plot twist" and how charming everyone finds the most insufferable fictional man alive and how every character in this bo...

Robert Langdon is back in another riveting entry of Dan Brown Mad Libs, and we're unfortunately also back to talk trash about it. You're never gonna guess what happens in this extremely formulaic, long, and boring race against the clock around Prague with another sexy lady scientist and another monstrous assassin and another shadowy organization pulling all the strings. Thought the pseudohistory a...

We have an absolutely fascinating, funny, and extremely talented guest for you today-- Dave Cobb, experience and theme park designer extraordinaire! We chat about what got him into this line of work, evergreen Simpsons content, Looney Toons, behind-the-scenes stories of experience design, favorite defunct attractions, and more! Seriously, this might be one of the best interviews we've ever done an...

Friend of the show and longtime NSP collaborator Simon Macko (Shoocharu) joins us today as we arbitrarily decide that we get to make the rules for how movies should be made from here on out- and also how unfair it is that Criterions are only sold in the US and what Brian's perfect honeypot would be, (take notes, otherwise it's entrapment and we can't get a conviction.) Anywho. Do you hate ads but...

We're in peak form today with this chill chat about submissions for the new Massachusetts state flag (as well as ideas for the official Leighton Night flag), Starbucks PSL MVPs, our alternate names, earnestly bad horror movies, War of the Worlds, a lil bit of Succession, and more! Do you hate ads but love this show? Do you want an incredible deal on access to our entire 5 year backlog of video and...

WE ARE SO BACK! Leighton returns from Portland to discuss strange small world encounters, kittens, and Maeby antics; and we get into all sorts of other stuff, like deep diving on Brian's Succession viewing, creepy feet peeping houses, and more! Good stuff. Very bit/"comedic experience" heavy. Check out our Patreon and support the show at patreon.com/leightonnight! Follow us on Twitter at @leighton...

We're taking a week off and UNLOCKING two of our world-famous Patreon minisodes! These two minis we have here are "Leopard Print" from April 30th and "My Little Gamers" from May 21st.

Folks- you’re never gonna believe it, but we have yet another episode of Leighton Night with Brian Wecht where our hosts make a list, sort of. But that’s just a blip in the middle of the episode, we’ve also got discord drama, the origin of the concept of slapstick, the inexcusable sin of language being used incorrectly, and very briefly, in passing, a minor reference the groundbreaking music video...

Did you think last week's episode didn't have enough discussion of movie characters being horny? Yeah, that's what we thought. Here we are with another totally-not-stolen gimmick: this is a spirited debate on which characters in cinema history want to bone down hardest. This is a discussion driven by VIBES (not like that, you freak) and ENERGY. This is a discourse between two intellectuals who hav...

And we're back with another MOVIE CLUB episode, this time with our beloved friend and favorite guest, Mr. Jory Griffis! If you want to watch the movies before listening, The Vanishing (1988) is free on Youtube, From Beyond is free on Tubi and Kanopy, and Altered States you're gonna have to rent, but based on the opinions expressed on this episode, maybe you won't want to? So either watch the movie...

On this very fun and sweet episode, Brian is joined by the wonderful rapper/DJ/author/producer Mega Ran (@mega_ran) for a chat about touring, MAGFest, making kids music, the joys of collaborating with your own children, tricky concert etiquette, and more! This is a REALLY good one, folks. Be sure to check out Mega Ran's new kids album Buddy's Magic Tree House and all of his other music here: https...

Moi? We got an episode and we got topics, just look at 'em: which Muppets we identify with, the Hannibal Cinematic Universe, why posting sucks, optimal hat fits, Westworld only being one season actually, being horned up for both funny lookin' fellas AND elderly gentlemen, and mooooooore! My therapist said he can't believe we can talk for so long about "minutiae" and we continue to prove him right....

We've peaked with this title, folks. Prematurely. Based and Wechtpilled. Leightonmaxxing. How do zombies bone? How did T-Rexes bone? Is Santa a criminal? Should he be apprehended and executed for his crimes? Yes? You're nodding? So you agree? We also invent an antidepressant. This show is for the Zoloft Brolofts, the Lexabros, the Pro(ball)zacs. The Shelexas 100mg. The mirtazaqueens. I implore you...

WE ARE SO BACK! Brian makes his triumphant return from tour and this is a salacious tell all catch-up: the highs, the lows, the woes, and even...the ass? Take a peek behind the curtain and straight into Ninja Brian's wet corn pants. How much corn can one man fit into his pants? Whether you want to or not, you're going to find out. And the answer might surprise you. Like what you hear? Check out ou...

We got Angels and Demons, we got Breaking Dawn, we got The Da Vinky Chode, we got Breaking Dawn (yeah i know i already wrote that. we're all gonna die someday), we got Ready Player One, we got HPMOR. We've got it all, right...

Ugh. We're back with part two of our Bad Book Club on the Harry Potter fanfiction that makes My Immortal seem like classic literature. We actually get into reading the text of this steaming pile on this one and it's BAD. Find out more about what Draco Malfoy will do once he's old enough, what's in Quirrell's weird little boudoir, why Harry is the most specialist boy alive, and more. We would norma...

We're back with our favorite type of gimmick episode: Bad Book Club! Or in this case, Bad Fanfic Club. It's a two-parter where this first episode contains our general thoughts and context on the purpose of the text, who wrote it, and why it's essentially a manifesto wearing a lightning scar and circular glasses. Part two, coming next week, will get into the nitty gritty of what makes it so particu...
