Fairly Harmless: Take a Break from Being Smart

Mech 54, Where Are You?

Andrew and James are back with a comedy podcast episode that covers a suspicious dad, a Christopher Nolan movie that somehow will be even longer, giant robots with unresolved personal issues, and a government infrastructure project that appears to have been invented on a coffee break. This is what happens when two people have access to a microphone and no adult supervision. Funny, weird, and completely off the rails, just the way we like it.

Smoking the Drapes

Andrew and James dig into 1970s American television. The golden age of shows that had no business being as good as they were, and plenty that had no business existing at all. This comedy podcast episode is a loving, slightly unhinged tribute to the decade that gave us wood paneling, questionable fashion, and TV writing that somehow still holds up. If you grew up glued to the set or just want to understand what people mean when they talk about 70s TV, this funny conversation is for you.

Gobbler's Knob

Will we have an early spring or six more weeks of Winter? It's Groundhog Day, and Andrew and James have questions, mostly about why we let a rodent run our meteorological lives. In this comedy podcast episode, the guys break down the strange, wonderful tradition of Punxsutawney Phil, shadow-based forecasting, and whether any of this actually predicts the weather (spoiler: it does not). Funny, absurd, and weirdly informative, this is the Groundhog Day discussion nobody asked for but absolutely needed.

Planes, Trains and Bicycles

Andrew and James take on travel; the good, the bad, and the deeply unnecessary. In this comedy podcast episode, the guys debate the best and worst ways to get from Point A to Point B, including a deep dive into road trips, questionable transportation decisions, and why bicycles are either the greatest invention in human history or a death wish on wheels. A funny, rambling conversation about getting around that goes everywhere except on schedule.

Mario Mario Bois

Andrew and James review the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie. Hollywood's most gloriously unhinged attempt to turn a beloved video game into a gritty action film nobody asked for. In this comedy podcast episode, the guys try to make sense of Bob Hoskins as Mario, Dennis Hopper as a lizard king, and a script that appears to have been written by someone who had only heard Super Mario Bros. described secondhand. Funny, baffling, and oddly affectionate, this is the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie review you didn't know you needed.
