Shut Up I Love It

Happy 2021! Jay Hunter is back to defend what at least two of us think is the Citizen Kane of animation -- Sensei Genndy Tartakovsky's animated TV series PRIMAL (available on HBO Max). Aggressively not for kids, PRIMAL follows a caveman and a dinosaur, bonded over devastating tragedies, as they help each other survive in the ruthless primordial world of the show. Dude, it's SO good. In fact, don't...

Comedian/writer Andrew Cornelius has been excelling at homebrewing since long before 2020 so it's no wonder he's back to shed light on MOONSHINERS, a reality TV show on Discovery Channel.

Andrew is a host of Intrigue. TV’s...

Writer/comedian Carolyn Page is back and she wants two things: 1) to pitch a future episode about Santa hentai (sure, we'll do it) and 2) to introduce us to an iconic comic book ELFQUEST created by Wendy and Richard Pini.

Writer/director Matt Mazany (WWE, FUNNY OR DIE, CASCADE UP) misses his morning commute. And we miss Matt, our old buddy. This episode is very nostalgic and sweet, just the way god intended it to be. So grab your cup o'joe (cabello) and dive in. How does morning commute rate against washing dishes training your dog? How much does Matt live smooching his wife goodbye? And how do you meet an Alaskan...

Jay Hunter (SUPERSTORE, POD WEEN SATAN) once again gets cocky with us as he shares his unhealthy infatuation with CULT LEADERS, from Shoko Asahara to Charles Manson to sweet sweet papa L. Ron Hubbard (the list goes on). Sasha (me, it's me writing these words) describes her personal experience being a member of various cults and shares why the late acting teacher's Sam Christensen's class has never...

Writer/comedian Carolyn Page (THE DOWNLOAD) loves video games, soup for breakfast and the legendary TV show Sex and The City.

Listen to find out (especially if you're Neil Strauss, cause we do talk abou...

As we know, "theater is dead, a putrid vessel of the forgotten time. The kind of putrid when the skin becomes wax and raccoons not only feed but make love to what's left of the flesh." These are the quotes from today's interview with Chad Austin Pierce, a distinguished theater actor "from one of the Americas," who's graced the stage at many places we never heard of, like Monte's Carnegie Hall (dif...

Damiana Garcia is back, y'all! She's here to defend - no, wait, to PROMOTE her new post-apocalyptic barbarian novel called "FRAPP WARRIOR" that takes place at a Starbucks.

Dude, drop everything you're (not)doing and listen up. This here in front of your ear holes is a historic reunion between survivalus maximus JORDAN JONAS of the badass TV show ALONE and ZACH GREEN, one of the show's creators. ***BTDUBS, MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ALONE SEASONS 6 and 7*** Do Zach and Jordan believe in luck playing a major part in one's winning the show?

Nikki van Schyndel is one of the most incredible souls from TV show ALONE Season 6 (or TV, period. Or life). She is that lady with a great attitude who accidentally hurt herself a bunch but didn't let that stop her. Her teddy bear made from a dead rabbit will haunt my dreams forever. This week, we've got two special co-hosts: Heidi Gardner (SNL) and Zeb Wells (SUPERMANSION, SHE-HULK), both fans of...

What's up, kids. This one is for you. Actor/comedian/charming individual David Horn joins us to praise one of the coolest kids TV shows out there: AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER.

Subscribe to Joe Cabello’s Patreon for as lo...

Does the state of standup comedy keep you up at night? So we thought. Enter our special guest, "Marco from security" (aka comedian/writer/actor/clown Chad Damiani), who's seen - though not heard - a lot of stand-up comedy over the years. Enough to pitch a solution on how to make it better. Listen to Marco tell us a terrifying story involving a pint of animal blood and his mom with an unusual bust...

Tad Roasts Movies (aka comedian Mark Sipka) is here to defend the only movie that's worth watching: The Wizard of Oz! Now, dear listeners, TBH, this guest gave us a lot of headache. We didn't mean to analyze him in detail but we did. What can I say. We learned a lot. Mostly, about love. Rejection. Broken dreams. It's bittersweet and insane. Enjoy. Follow Tad on Instagram . Find new videos of Tad r...

Unpredictable, bombastic and dangerous lady reporter Damiana Garcia is back, this time to promote her gender reveal party business called #InTheseTimes.

Kazushi Watanabe) starring Hayato Ichihara, Shugo Oshinari and Megumi Okina. Based on a manga (and available on Amazon Prime), this film is as uneven as it gets. Still, the main character is hot, runs a lot and doesn't understand how iPhone works, so he's...

Fabulous lady reporter Damiana Garcia is back to discuss her vast collection of sentient DOLLS and Beanie Babies! They are creepy. They tell her things.

Turns out, doll therapy can REALLY turn things around...

Nothing makes Jay Hunter happier *or* angrier than the TV show ANCIENT ALIENS on the History channel. He calls it a "piece of sh*t" and "fraud" but paradoxically, he's also the show's biggest fan. Jay has watched the 190 episodes of the show's 15 seasons at least four times. No surprise, today is second best day of Jay's life as we sit down and analyze the hell out of Ancient Aliens. We also rate...

Right before the most recent shutdown, Damiana Garcia went to Palm Springs to enjoy MORONGO casino guilt-free and mask-free (well, she had it in her pocket, people!) Why, you ask? To kill someone. Like Damiana says it herself, "I choose to be a murderess!" How much do you pay the local news station PAs to be accomplices in murder?  Is standing still under the shower better than swimming in a pool?...
