‘Tis the season for GREMLINS! That’s right, we asked Saint Nick for a little holiday fun and he delivered with Joe Dante’s monster masterpiece. We deep-dive into the classic film for Mark’s first watch ever, and geek out over Gizmo, Stripe, and of course, good ol’ Dick Miller. We also announce this year’s holiday Grab Bag theme, so get pumped for that. If you want to get straight to the Gremlins talk, it happens around 21:00. But if you scrub ahead, just know that… I ATE THE BONES. HASHTAG, I ATE THE BONES. Happy holidays, everyone! We’re back on TikTok, follow us HERE. Wanna be on the show?

Edgar Wright returns to theaters this week, and so do we! We’re reviewing his big blockbuster update of THE RUNNING MAN before it loses all of its premium screens because no one is seeing it. Whyyyy? You can scrub directly to the review at 21:57 to hear our spoilery thoughts. But if you do, you’ll miss us chatting about Heinz 57 and laughing like idiots about old AOL screen names. Good times. Oh, and speaking of idiots, Matt met William Shatner. It didn’t go well. To hear all about his William Shatner experience, scrub ahead to 1:26:17. It’s like My Dinner with Andre, only way lamer. My Evening with Bill. Anywho. Good to have you all back for “the podcaaaAAAAst.” We’re back on TikTok, follow us HERE. Wanna be on the show? Call us and leave a voicemail at (707) 948-6707.
