SoL-Mates: Love and MST3K

Are you ready for your two favorite mans to talk about their favorite Manhattans? It's a veritable man Manhattan minisode up in here! Joe and Jeff really dig into the spirit of the Rocket #9 Lounge and share their favorite Manhattan recipes, as well as some deep thoughts. (Well -- deep for a Wednesday afternoon.) We also bid farewell to a MST3K legend. Host segments: dueling Manhattans; good vermo...

The SoL-Mates are bidding a fond farewell to #SummerOfPecs 2018 with Hercules and the Captive Women. What happens when a domesticated Hercules just doesn't want to go adventuring anymore? What happens when you find out your daughter is the only thing standing between you and eternal life? What happens when you manifest your terrible id in the guise of uncanny blonde "ubermensch?" What happens when...

Our #SummerOfPecs continues with the greasy, greasy Outlaw (of Gor). If Cabot falls into another dimension without a nerdy sidekick to constantly shriek his name, is he even really there?

We're kicking off our second annual SUMMER OF PECS with the classic Hercules Unchained! We greased up real good and threw some furniture around, so we hope you'll enjoy listening.

On this week's episode, we tackle a listener request: Warrior of the Lost World! MiMi didn't want to do it, but we made her. Bonus: we were drunk on caffeine, not booze. Host Segments: What's your dream apocalypse?; a loose dad in the studio; spaghetti apocalypse; not getting too carried away with fascist oppression; Pleasance-ville; Warrior of the Love Connection; we still hate Max Keller; Lost W...

In a very special short (Devori calls it a MiMi-sode), we find out Devori's been smoking weed, and that they both watched the KTMA episode Cosmic Princess! Also, they both learn something about some important social issue and the audience goes, "awwwww" as a result. Host Segments: the Brian Blessed factor; Caroline Munro redux; when bots are mean; riffs that fall flat; Space in Actual 1999. Please...

We're dipping back into Season 11 with the already-beloved Starcrash! Listen closely to see if you can tell if we're all wearing pleather bikinis! (Hint: we are.) Sounds of pouring liquor during the Rowsdower Cocktail Hour are complimentary. Host segments: rationing MST3K; Joe judges Stella Star; Devori thinks about things too much; what even is Ackton?; Stella Star is strangely attractive; six de...

Y'all - we have ninja fatigue this week. Maybe humans weren't meant to watch so much sub-par ninja fare in such a short time. We made it through somehow, but not entirely unscathed. Host segments: "Previously on Sol-Mates"; all chaff, no wheat; MiMi confesses; drenching The Master in faint praise; TV theme crimes; shitty Chekov's gun; PickleFace; Jeff's brazen canning lies; how we feel about impro...

We have only one thing to say to this week - and that's "ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-bwaaaaaaah." If you can't deduce this episode is about Master Ninja I from that, then you're probably listening to the wrong podcast. Or, it's just a terrible representation of Gypsy-singing. Probably the latter. But to be honest, you probably saw it in the episode title. Host segments: patchouli and self-loathing; say it,...

What happens when a night of mild drinking meets up with an MST3K classic? We get mildly drunk and talk about Soooooooooultaker! Host Segments: Old Home Week on the SoL; gettin' dang soul-tooked; the realities of fest-ing; drink disappointment; Devori loves Jager; Jeff has theories and Joe has questions; the Schilling/Scully paradox; Jeff alienates 3/4 of the podcast; MiMi's confessions; Larry Bir...

What happens when a bunch of people who are siblings of other people sit down to watch a movie about the sibling of another person? Not much, actually. But we all agree that the fashions are swingin'! It's time for Neil Connery's tour-de-farce (pun intended) in Agent Double 007. Host segments: Devori explains academia; Neil Connery's sibling rivalry; brother from another cocktail; don't say Jeff d...

We venture into the Cinematic Titanic universe with our newest episode! What happens when you combine blaxsploitation films with the martial arts craze of the 70s? Well – in better hands this could have been a damn fine movie. Hear the Sol-Mates dodge casual racism with aplomb! Hear them grow palpably uncomfortable at times! Hear them shill Bill’s Beans because #buythosebeans! www.billsbeans.com C...

We honestly didn't expect to yell at you so much during our Valentine's Day episode, but we learned it from DOCTOR TED NELSON! Host segments: Karma Sutra; Joe v. the Synopsis; art imitates life and movie-making; strategies for escaping a melting man; Jeff's wish list; Nelsons gonna Nelson; Jeff tries to sell you coffee as 2001's Macy Gray for some reason; Steve learns to love himself; Three's Comp...

Sandy Frank! Sandy Frank! Boy this movie's weird! What even WAS the Time of the Apes? Was it like that Bill Medley song? There's unspeakable horrors under those ape masks, we tells ya. Host segments: Lady scientists?; Devori does too much ape-as-human research; a shitty duet; "Banana" Republic; apes and alterity; monkey dating advice; kids DGAF; Joe destroys the Monkey Hierarchy; Devori's Night of...

What happens when a 1990s super-model falls into a poorly written script that combines elements of The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, and some sort of fairytale? It's Alien from LA! And when we all managed to stay awake through the whole thing, we didn't hate it. Host Segments: Moody Blues Confessions; the worst D&D campaign ever; 'beetus drinks with Jeff; Golan-Globus rage; Kathy Ireland > Me...

What happens when four friends-turned-podcast-hosts get stuck in a wine cellar together? While they're all definitely in the same place? And they have no choice but to drink wine and reminisce about the past season? And what happens when that original recording gets lost due to mysterious circumstances and they have to do it all again? That's right! It's a season finale "bottle episode," free of c...

It's a very special Sol-Mates Holiday Episode! With no swears! No ribaldry...sort of. It's the perfect way to kill time with your family when you're trying not to kill your family! So join us for a double-feature of this episode and season eleven's Christmas That Almost Wasn't! Host segments: Thrift of the Magi; our holiday spirits; toys from hell; the craziest land-grab ever!; anachronistic tight...

Four friends. A divisive MST3K episode. Will their relationships remain intact? Will MiMi ever speak to any of them again? Probably. We just wanted to interject some actual drama into The Crawling Hand. Host Segments: Joe bones the intro; Devori ponders things; Kimbro Clothing Wish-List; In case you cared -- a history of space-suit films; beating a dead riff; weird ways to hate teens; what happens...

It's our take on a Turkey Day favorite! There was merriment, and wine, so things got a little ribald. OK -- they got A LOT ribald. But that's probably to be expected when discussing a creature flick in which a whole town is getting down with itself. HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM SOL-MATES! Host Segments: That's right -- DOCTOR Devori Kimbro; Pervy Redneck Jewelers; Joe is a sweet, sweet, innocent boy; J...

We went rock climbing, folks. And it was boring. Boooooring. Listen to us give The Lost Continent the Sol-Mates treatment! But mostly we talk about dinosaurs. Because dinosaurs are kewl. Host Segments: Rock climbing in perpetuity; Jeff's ethos is Eff Devori; Jurassic Dorks; Joel's post-colonial critique; adventure sausagefest; Devori hates suck-dirt; Martha's Sacred Mountain Weather Report; where...

Ch-ch-ch, ka-ka-ka. OK, OK -- we know that's technically Friday the 13th, but "dee-dee-DEE-dee-dee, doo-doo-DOO-doo-doo" doesn't translate as well. In this episode, we tackle a Rifftrax exploration of John Carpenter's holiday classic, Halloween! Host segments: Jeff pulls the ultimate power move; Halloween Starpower; Horny Teens be dying!; The "Rye" Girl; Annie: Horribly Incapable of Living; A ston...

This may be our favorite episode yet! Jeff got so jazzed about Devori's many, many excellent Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf jokes that he legit grabbed the mic and that's why his audio is shitty for the last 1/2 of the episode. Theories abound this episode, and we want to know if you can survive the Hobgoblins! Host segments: Average Girls Tryna Be Sexy; Security Guard Fantasies; Time: How does it wo...

We decided to see what the fuss was all about with the drinking in Killer Shrews. We we drank. And watched Killer Shrews. Jeff made a too-delicious rum-punch and here's the results. You should hear Joe will tell you when he starts our version (we watched a colorized version on YouTube, but any version will do). Enjoy!
