You Will Be Wet w/Bitter Karella - THE RARE BLUE APES OF CANNIBAL ISLE

BRB - HIATUS

Due to some....complications we need to take a short break. Have no fear, Dustin and Patrick will be resurre....I mean they will return shortly. Wait, if they are gone then who am I? Maybe I can finally use this space to write the next great American Novel. Hmmm, but there's a character limi

The Skidooch - DEEP RISING w/ Cammy

The Skidooch has arrived… and he’s riding a jet ski straight through a luxury cruise ship. This week, the Found on Shelf crew dives headfirst into Deep Rising—a late-90s fever dream where mercenaries, billionaires, pickpockets, and an extremely hungry sea nightmare all collide in the middle of the ocean. Joined by special guest Cammy, the gang tries (and fails) to stay on track while unpacking CGI tentacles, infinite ammo, questionable life choices, and one of the most unhinged finales ever put to film. Along the way, we debate whether this is secretly Alien on a boat, pitch a brand-new sitcom starring “The Skidooch,” and ask the important questions—like why the only gun that runs out of bullets is the one that matters. It’s messy. It’s loud. It’s mid in all the right ways. Hop on the jet ski. We’re going in.

You Will Be Wet w/Bitter Karella - THE RARE BLUE APES OF CANNIBAL ISLE

This week on Found on Shelf, we descend into one of the strangest films ever unearthed: The Rare Blue Apes of Cannibal Isle — a surreal, low-budget fever dream involving aristocratic blue apes, pirate crocodiles, toxic flower gas, and a duck named Mr. Quack Quack. Returning guest Bitter Karella joins us to break down this baffling cinematic artifact while also celebrating the success of her splatterpunk horror novel Moonflow and teasing her upcoming folk horror release Quaint Folk (dropping this October 👀). We attempt to answer important questions like: Is this movie secretly about colonialism? Why can only apes hear the main character talk? What IS rose gas, and why does it have one purpose (or two??) And most importantly… why are we always picking on the Bobo? Expect chaos, cursed lore, and one of the wettest viewing experiences we’ve ever endured. 🎧 Listener discretion advised: contains bizarre children’s film logic, existential confusion, and discussions of deeply weird cinema.

Imaginary Violence with Robert Brockway - MY BLOODY BANJO

We’re joined by author and internet chaos agent Robert Brockway to talk about his new novel “I Will Kill Your Imaginary Friend for $200”—a dark, funny, and unexpectedly emotional dive into childhood, loneliness, and the terrifying things that live in our heads (and maybe on YouTube). Then, after we politely let our guest escape the cursed video store, we spiral straight into the 2015 horror oddity My Bloody Banjo. Along the way: * We uncover the horrors of modern “imaginary friends” * Debate the true chaos of kids’ media past vs. present * Learn way too much about “banjo strings” * And question every life decision that led us here It’s part author interview, part horror deep dive, and part complete descent into madness. Proceed at your own risk.

Scraping at the Door - GHOST RIDER SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE

This week on Found on Shelf, we dive headfirst into the flaming chaos of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance—a sequel so unhinged it feels like it was filmed during a caffeine-fueled exorcism. Join us as we break down Nicolas Cage at peak Cage energy, from demonic transformations to the infamous “scraping at the door” scene that will haunt your dreams. Is this a misunderstood cult classic… or a full-blown cinematic meltdown? We talk: * The bizarre editing and “filmed while being chased by bees” cinematography * The Ghost Rider crane (yes, really) * Questionable CGI, wild performances, and even wilder writing choices * Why this might be the most aggressively unnecessary sequel ever made Plus: chaotic lore, fake movie callbacks, and one of our most unhinged award segments yet. If you love bad movies, comic book chaos, or watching hosts slowly lose their sanity—this episode is for you. 🎧 New episodes every other week 📞 Call the hotline: 252-564-8666 ⭐ Leave a review if you survived this movie
