The Critic pt. 1 - Critic-al Ls

Join us for a lil' romp through the Big Apple and beyond as we tackle select eps from the ABC-era of a show with a critical impact on our screwed up sensibilities. Episodes: 1. Pilot 2. Miserable 3. Eyes on the Prize *No episodes were harmed during the recording of this episode but some may have had their feelings hurt due to being omitted.

Simpsonia Pt. 1 - D'ohn't Stop Simpin'

After (another) long hiatus, Jon and Todd are back to discuss some high-to-mid classics from the sprawling catalogue of that daft yellow fam. S4 E17: Last Exit to Springfield S8 E23: Homer's Enemy S12 E9: HOMЯ ...and don't forget all those fine references to the things we're not watching. Sit in for an extra-long, extra-coherent-for-IR time as we debate Homer's morality, social position, true intelligence, and whether he has ultimately betrayed us like so many of our heroes. Cheers to Jon for his marvelous metamorphosis (#TheDrunkOnes)!

Santa Clause is Coming to Town (aka "SantIR")

In the real season 1 finale, Jon and Todd pack all the joy and hardships of the holiday season into an hour-long zoom call. Come once for the bizarre movie that mixes pro-royalist, anti-fascist, and Christian-neutral ideologies, twice for the technical and mental difficulties on Jon's end, and thrice for the thin layer of flop-sweat on Todd's brow!

Batman TAS - Clayface Re-molded

Jaud joins for the first (and last?) time in person to celebrate and rehabilitate one of the unsung villains of  the caped crusader's lore. Technical snafu's abound and Todd's terrifically under-prepared as we careen through the Dark Deco Decorum and get rubbed down with the craziest creme this side of Wendell & Wild! I, Todd, solemnly promise a shorter turnaround to release for the next episode!

Rankin and Bass' Return of the King

We conclude our season-long LotR trilogy with the sequel to our inaugural Hobbit ep! Andy joins to steal jokes and reference other podcasts galore, as we jive to the excessive song queues and delightful lore-pulling of this forgotten classic with the GOAT Gollum. Follow Andy on twitter [https://twitter.com/amphibicopter] and listen to his (currently dormant) podcast, Brunch Movies [https://twitter.com/BrunchMovies]! Opening song "Return of the King" as made famous by Mack Morrison, vocals by Jon, lyrics by Andy and Jon, Executive Produced by Andy (He got EP? Good for him!) Lyrics: (Horn sound) burur bururrooooooooh come on, I'm a horn Deep within Mordor Sauron's cruelty had forged Something dark and powerful  One ring to rule them all they were all of them deceived The dwarves the elves and trees til Isildur cut him down Who will pick up his crown?
