We recorded this episode in 2009. I'm just getting around to it. 
It's game night at Superweird HQ. The lads play along with a game show that's less game and more Sunday school. Put your hands over your buzzers and join the fun at Joy Junction. Though, we promise the fun is at a minimum. 
Bird, as a wiseman once said, is the word. That's right. We're celebrating Thanksgiving in the only place we can call a home(in that we hate it there), the small town of Odyssey. Now, who's ready to ripoff some Dickens?
Today, we introduce a new character in to our Superweird tapestry. Say hi to Bob Larson as he attempts to suck all the joy from this most spooky of holidays.The Horrors of Halloween
More Odyssey! YAY! This one is about lies. Tiny lies. Microscopic lies that grow in to gargantuan monster lies!
When you take that long of a break, then you should ease back in to your normal routine. Unfortunately, our version of normal is a rockbottom quality anti-drug puppet show. We're back, baby!When Will We Learn Who To Trust?
The lads endure a theatrical production put on by the characters of Odyssey. Things get predictably heavy-handed.
Our cursed lads make the most of it with a particularly irritating episode of Adventures in Odyssey.
Upon reaching episode 50, Ben and Dexter are confronted  by a demon claiming to hold the future of Superweird in his grasp. The boys discuss Native American curses, critical thinking, and why you’d name a fictional character after the KKK. Will
So it's come to this...Ad.Galileo.Neil Armstrong.Snake and Frog.The American Trinity.Benjamin Franklin.
CONTENT WARNINGThis is easily the most horrid piece of media the lads have covered. From dead ducks to lady robots, Life With Grandpa is an emotional rollercoaster for which they were not prepared.Source
HEY KIDS! I'M A SCREAMING FROG PUPPET! WON'T YOU LET ME TELL YOU HOW YOU'RE ONLY A PART IN THE JESUS MACHINE?!Source
The lads return to AiO. Listen as Dexter drags Ben kicking and screaming through a fumbled episode about stealing and the importance of WHO is teaching the Bible.
The lads return to Odyssey to see how Focus on the Family addresses the subject of child beauty pageants. Are they for or against objectifying children? Should kids be involved in pageants or is it easier to blame the parents?
Yee haw! The lads take a trip to the old west town of Dry Gulch for an episode of The Gospel Bill Show. How did they get here? What does the ostrich teach us? Is that question too out of context? These answers and more!
Our Halloween episode came a little late and limped to the barn. The lads watch a long forgotten VHS cassette from the year 2000. They tackle this media completely blind and with utter confusion.Also, Mandy Moore!?
Ben and Dex go back to the well of misguided morality called Superbook to learn the story of Job. God and Satan have a little pow wow and a farmer loses everything to teach a lesson to... someone.
Ben and Dexter delve into YouTube’s The Parlor channel of strange and obscure VHS media, finding Thought, Word, and Deed - a children’s cautionary tale in being honest. They’re fascinated with the cheap props, the awful dialog, and the kookines
Ben and Dexter celebrate their 40th episode by remembering the life of the late Norm MacDonald…by doing the worst impressions imaginable. Also, they take you camping with a giant, blue book that sings to kids about Jesus and the alphabet. You k
Dexter and Ben review what they consider the worst piece of children’s media they’ve ever come across, and that’s saying something. From bullying to bad band names, gun safety to gore, the discussion moves from one bad movie to another. 
In this episode, the fellows discuss faith, Noah, the Department of Health, unions, and taking your dirty dishes to the kitchen.
Ben and Dexter contribute their review of Castles & Cauldrons with part 2 of the Adventures in Odyssey episode of the same name. They discuss mental health issues, Whit’s force powers, and whether playing games can make you crazy.
