Cut For Time: The Missing Story about a Sneeze

Aug 7th, 2023 5m

Beau Is Afraid (2023)

May 17th, 2023 1h 20m

A special phonesode! We take a break from our Wacky Races miniseries for a casual conversation about Ari Aster's latest nightmare horror comedy. (And Siggy now wishes he had thought to compare the ending to Brazil.)

Holiday Greeting 2022!

A surprise gift for you! We start off with a quick recap of 2022 (even though we agreed before recording that weren't going to do that, and Wade says in the episode that we're not doing that), we talk about the Christmas movies and specials we'

Cannonball! [aka Carquake] (1976)

An epic race deserves an epic episode, so Wade and Siggy are here to throw 4,000 pies in your ear. We may not have spent as much as Blake Edwards did on 1965's The Great Race, but we take at least as many detours, including bizarre and slandero

Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines (1965)

Aug 1st, 2022 1h 52m

This second entry in the WACKY RACES mini-series tests the mettle of your intrepid hosts by barely qualifying for this series' criteria and barely being a comedy. Siggy provides the much needed context to place this film into the larger cinema
