Mel Brooks' crowning achievement, Blazing Saddles blazed a trail and confronts racism with equal parts ferocious satire and wild cartoon abandon. Writer/comedian/filmmaker Tarik Davis (@tarikrdavis) joins us to celebrate 50 years of this film's uncompromising hilarity and empathy. We are awake, but we are very puzzled. You can find Tarik not only on NBC's The Amber Ruff

Super Mario Bros. 3 set the standard not only for Nintendo's flagship franchise, but it was a literal game changer. Comedian Rich Baker (@richbakercoaching) joins us to save the Mushroom Kingdom - yet again - from the nefarious clutches of Bowser and the Koopalings with a little help from flying racoon tails, frog suits, music boxes, and more.

We're joined by Ami Lief (creepy and kooky) and Ryan Merlo (mysterious and spooky) to round table our top ten TV theme songs.

Monty Python's Flying Circus redefined comedy from the subatomic level up with sketches that were quotable, absurd, and of course, funnier than a dead parrot full of spam. Guest comedians Rich Baker and Ned Record (of the Lost & Confounded podcast and www.nedrecord.com) join us to roundtable our top 10 Python sketches. Burma! If

The Dude abides, and his stupefying tale from the Coen Brothers continues to make people laugh to beat the bend... parts anyway. Little Lebowski Urban Achievers Dylan Ris (www.lostmoonradio.com) and Dan Oster (MadTV, A Podcast, But Evil) join us to revisit this inside-out noir tale of bowling, kidnapping, and beverages in need of saving. You see what happens? You see what happens w

Too hot to handle, too cold to hold. Ghostbusters 2 is a sequel that's anything but paint-by-numbers. We're gonna call superfans Dylan Gregory and Tania Newton to blow some positively-charged slime all over a film that keeps on lifting us higher and higher.
