Parking Lot: The Podcast

By popular(?) demand, Charlie and Kevin take part in a Smash or Pass game. Unlike their unhinged Hear Me Out episodes where the hosts can choose anyone or anything their twisted minds can think of, this game is based solely around the characters from the popular Nintendo game series Super Smash Bros. So feel free to follow along with a copy of the ever growing roster of video game characters and s...

Today Kevin and Charlie tackle what is undeniably a modern cultural icon, Stranger Things. The show blasted on to the scene to wide spread appeal and kept coming back for more (for better or worse). All these years later, it's finally done and NOW we can talk about it. We'll dive into the cast and characters, major story arcs, the strange and frustrating release schedules, and more. Fire up those...

Once again, we uphold a Parking Lot the Podcast tradition where Kevin explains a series to Charlie over the span of multiple months of recording sessions. This episode, we have Kevin walk us through Larry David's best show *according to Charlie*, Curb Your Enthusiasm. Unlike other episodes where we've followed this format, this one took SO long that Charlie was able to binge the entire show betwee...

For the first time since the creation of this podcast, there is a Star Wars movie in theaters! The Mandalorian and Grogu have escaped from Disney+ jail and made their way to the big screen! And just like any other time Star Wars has produced content, there are nerds like us ready to debate over how much they hate and/or love it. Listen in as Kevin and Charlie weigh in on this discussion while givi...

Every now and then, an idea arises that is so unique, so inspired, that it's downright life changing. These ideas can shape the minds of a generation. On a podcast, its an honor and a privilege to get to share those ideas with the world and hope that we can inspire the hearts of listeners all around the globe. We extend our sincerest and most grateful thanks to everyone who helps us make this drea...

It's time for another "biopic" about a music icon so all the grifters attached to their creations can get that moolahhh. This time, its Michael Jackson's turn, appropriately named "Michael". This movie is likely the most polarizing of the music icon biopics so far, considering the fact that the public is still pretty split on just how much of a predator Michael really was. Of course, this movie wa...

As much as we'd all really love the Charlie Games to be some horrifying Hunger Games ordeal, it is instead much less interesting than that (Parking Lot Pitch????). The Parking Lot boys often do an episode where Kevin talks about his recent video game experiences, so this time Charlie has decided to talk about a few video games he's been playing lately and his feelings on how they represent the vid...

Well. We're here again. Once more, Illumination comes in swinging this time with Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Charlie and Kevin weren't exactly fans of the first and had no reason to believe the sequel would be any different. Listen in as they try to keep it together as their hopes and dreams of an enjoyable Mario movie franchise for them crumble before their eyes.   Alternative titles* - Thing's Did...

It's been a while since we've done an episode featuring two movies we feel accurately capture the highs and absolute lows of cinema in their genre. These two happen to be in the same "series" even, 1999's She's All That and the 2020's reboot He's All That are so wildly different in quality its honestly startling. Listen in as we talk about both movies and their respective... qualities. We also ree...

Back in 2025, we aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa   The keyboard broke while typing out the planned description for this episode and I decided to leave it. Sometimes.... we just do what we're programmed to do...   Alternate titles* - Eagle Eye - Mercy...

For the last few years, Kevin and Charlie *and Chris starting with '24* have done an episode detailing their Top 10 movies of the year. They aren't ranking them in any order other than that these movies are definitively THE BEST. They then go on to talk about all the other movies released that year that they saw. The Top 10 of 2024 was a highlight episode for us, running at about 4 and a half hour...

Hey everybody! It's Parking Lot The Podcast! YAAAAAY!! Kevin and Charlie talk today about the newest iteration/test pilot of The Muppets Show that recently hit Disney+. They discuss the show as well as give the official Parking Lot's State of The Muppets Address for 2026.     Alternate titles* - Muppets, they puppets but with an M - I Hate That Guys Face - Have You Ever Tried... This One?   You ca...

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... PORKINS!   We're here to give you all the Star Wars prequel that fans have been too afraid to ask for,  Porkins: A Star Wars Story. Following the ENORMOUS success of Solo, Lucasfilm knew exactly who to trust when handling such a delicate story of a beloved character. Listen in as Kevin and Charlie brainstorm what could easily be the best Disney era Star...

You asked for it, so here it is: Hear Me Out 2! After a long year of waiting, we've returned to this insanity once more. Just like last time, the Parking Lot The Podcast crew is all together to bring its loyal listeners this special presentation. Kevin and Charlie are once again joined by Chris as we play a very custom, personalized game of "Smash or Pass" to find out where exactly each of our Hea...

James Cameron did it again! Reading that review negatively or positively, both seem to be correct. Avatar 3: Fire and Ash is out, once again breaking records and making us question the very fabric of our society. Listen in as Kevin and Charlie discuss the movie and franchise as a whole while Chris giggles in the background.   Alternate titles* - Avatar 3 3vatar - The Same But Different But The Sam...

Welcome back Lotties, to another fantastic year of Parking Lot the Podcast! On our first official episode of Season 6, Kevin and Charlie take a quick look forward at some of the years upcoming films and give them each an anticipated rating.

Magic is all about convincing the viewer to see what the magician wants you to see. Somehow the creators of this franchise manage to pull that off with their movies, the Now You See Me franchise, well enough that we've gotten three movies in this series and nobody can seem to say why.   Alternate titles* - Mindfreak - Do You Really See Me Though? - Annie 2: Now The Orphans Are Magic - Diamonds Are...

It's time to get rezzed up everybody! Once every decade or two, Disney remembers they own the Tron franchise and decides to try to make it happen. Why they fail every single time, who knows? Today, we're putting the top minds of the movie critic world together to try to answer that question.   You can listen to a new episode of our show on Spotify, iTunes, and Podbean every Tuesday night at 8:30 P...

We're Back!!! ... with a new Parking Lot Pitch! Here in the lot we're biggggg fans of Spielberg's favorite dinosaur movie, We're Back! We've covered that movie in a previous episode years ago if you're a newcomer to the show. Thinking on it, we decided it was a shame that they never did a sequel, so we decided to help out Hollywood with a brand new Parking Lot Pitch. The Parking Lot Presents - We'...

Perhaps our rarest recurring bit returns! Kevin's Anime Corner! This time, we took it even further than our usual and went to the theaters to see Demon Slayer - Infinity Castle. Kevin was doing his best not to groan while Charlie was trying not to cheer too much. A clash of hype and hate begin on today's episode!   Alternate titles* - Demon HEYYYYYYYYer - Semon Dlayer - Oh boy... - 6 Rooms and a M...

Here we go again... We're on another of our big list episodes. If you've listened to our movie or tv episodes like this you know what's in store, but if not here's a quick tutorial. Charlie and Kevin go year by year, talking about video games that came out during that time and discuss how they felt about them and the effects they left on culture or more accurately just in their own minds. Press A...

We're back with another Legend of Zelda entry today. It's been a while since either of us have played through the old classics and Kevin is making his way through The Legend of Zelda series. Today, we talk about what is considered by many to be Zelda's number one title: Ocarina of Time. So, since we couldn't start the episode without making the joke anyway, LISTEN!!   Alternate titles* - Ocarina o...
