Goldblum! Chiles! Kennedy! Revenge of the Total Knee Replacement. Brother Ben is hopefully on the mend after getting his knee swapped out for a new one. To avoid the "opioid" outburst, the Brothers wisely prerecorded this episode on 13 October. Brother Patrick is in fine form yammering about Return of the Living Dead, The Fly, and Creepshow 2.

Frank! Collette! Vaugn! Brother Ben should still (we're confident but not positive) be recovering from knee surgery on 30 October. To avoid another pain pill rage show, the Brothers Raskin recorded this sucker on 29 September. Therefore, if the world went to hell in a handbag, they didn't know at the time. Brother Patrick explains the difference between a Hendrix song versus an SRV tune. He goes d...

While surfers surfed the Pacific Ocean right outside the festival gates, Tee and company crowd surfed to Green Day, Cage the Elephant, and...

Pharcyde! Ripley! Farrell! Happy Birthday to Brother Patrick! He hit the milestone, 45, and does a fair impersonation of #45 as well. The Brothers get together to hash out the season finale of Alien: Earth. Yes, they hear you loud and clear—you get one more episode and you have to move on from here. They think you'll like the needle drop conversation. But before the criticism, comes the fun. Techn...

Kent! Kimmel! Levi! Freedom of speech is important. It's the defining characteristic of being an American, enshrined in the First Amendment. Censorship is horrid and not speaking up against others' right to free speech is to act complicit. This week's show is a bit dated. The Brothers Raskin recorded this podcast on 21 September 2025 before knowing Jimmy Kimmel is coming back to his late show. Bro...

Hermit! Jackson! Wendy! Head to Never Neverland with the Brothers Raskin as they go all in on Alien Earth. Brother Ben finally got Hulu and he hasn't looked back. The Boys explore the newest entry into the Alien franchise with Noah Hawley at the helm. He's the fella you did Fargo and you know we loved that show. Brother Patrick explores the significance of baseball, the French Revolution, pulse ri...

Heathers! Rushmore! Carrie! It's only 111-degrees in Las Vegas and that means only one things—it's back to school! Brother Patrick declares class is in session with this all high school/college/post-graduate podcast focused on our favorite subject, school. Yep, you read that right, it's all about the best school movies of the last 50 years. Patrick has a doozy of a theory and you'll be lectured fo...

Coit! Gilbert! Capone! Brother Patrick is on assignment and Brother Ben is flying solo. Ben went on vacation to San Francisco and toured the city like Scott Ferguson from Vertigo.

Heads! Happy! Eddie! Sound check complete, time for the Brothers Raskin. R.I.P. Ozzy Osbourne. His business card read, Prince of Darkness, and he liked to rock.

Ben thinks there's a honest Academy Award waiting for t...

Boyle! Garland! Murphy! RIP Hulk Hogan. Yes, you were an incredibly problematic individual. Yes, you said some unbelievably racist and insensitive things. Yes, you made horrific movies. Yes, you had a moustache that—allegedly—tasted like Coppertone. But my Lord, Terry Bollea, you knew how to execute a leg drop. If we can still drink Negronis and talk about how good Manhattan and Annie Hall is, we...
