Center of Spookiness: Freddy's Nightmares - No More Mr. Nice Guy

Oct 04 2024 78 mins  
To kickoff the 2024 Halloween season, we're heading back to Springwood, Ohio, and discovering the origins of evil with the first episode of anthology horror series Freddy's Nightmares! In this Tobe Hooper-directed installment, we get oblivious dads and really horny moms, we see inside the head of a serial killer, and we find out what turns on Freddy Krueger. Plus, tooth trauma! If

Friday the 13th: The Series - Night Prey

Sep 13 2024 72 mins  
For this very special Friday the 13th episode, we're finally covering Friday the 13th: The Series, and we're doing it in the same room! That's right, we actually recorded this in person, staring intensely into each other's eyes the entire time (and occasionally hissing at each other like the vampires in this episode). Why we chose this specific episode of the series to cover is fo

The Net - Last Man Standing

Aug 26 2024 84 mins  
On this week's episode, we're logging into 1990s cyberspace to discuss The Net, the one-season series based on the Sandra Bullock movie of the same name. This episode guest stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson which should come as no surprise when you learn it's about an underground cage fighting circuit broadcast over the internet. We talk bad technology, the ways ultimate fighting has

Acapulco H.E.A.T. - Code Name: Perfect Specimen

Aug 05 2024 74 mins  
It's still summertime and that means it's still HOT outside. So what better way to celebrate the heat than with some H.E.A.T.! On today's episode, we're discussing the mostly forgotten action-adventure series Acapulco H.E.A.T. We talk about the interesting folks in the cast, the characters' barely-used codenames, and cover this episode's nonsense super-soldier plot. We also chat ab

Wishman

Jun 24 2024 70 mins  
No one demanded it but we're here nonetheless to celebrate a momentous occasion: the 41st anniversary of the original broadcast date (June 23, 1983) of the absolutely bonkers failed TV pilot Wishman! When you hear the name Wishman, do you immediately think of a wish-granting genie? We did too, but oh how we were wrong. Instead we are presented with a bizarre Mac & Me-esque creatur

Tequila and Bonetti - Street Dogs

Jun 12 2024 88 mins  
It's been a while but we're back (with an episode we recorded months ago)! This week, we're covering a show that's been on our list for a while: Tequila and Bonetti! What might seem like a simple gruff cop/cute dog series is actually way weirder than we expected. This includes hearing the dog's overly horny thoughts, watching our hero play an entire song on piano while seeing a mo

Belvedere Boyz Ep. 1 - Stranger in the Night / Pilot

Apr 01 2024 54 mins  
This week marks a bold new direction for the show as we rebrand as the Belvedere Boyz and promise to cover all 117 episodes of 1980s sitcom Mr. Belvedere every week for the next two years. This is TOTALLY REAL and NOT A JOKE. In this inaugural episode, we cover the pilot and discuss the titular butler's supernatural ways. We also talk about a particularly pivotal moment in the Mr.

Cathy's Valentine

Feb 12 2024 89 mins  
What's that? A new episode of the podcast? We've been away for a while and we discuss why before getting into the surprisingly sweet TV special Cathy's Valentine (trust us, we were surprised we liked it too). If you like the show, give us a rating on Apple Podcasts. And follow us on Instagram and Threads at @weirdnesspodcast (where you can suggest TV shows we should cover on the p

ALF - Turkey in the Straw: Part 1 & 2

Nov 20 2023 93 mins  
Things get dark this week as we discuss a very special ALF Thanksgiving two-parter. Along the way, we rail against midwesterners for not liking veggie meatballs, we discuss a very Brooklyn boy living in Southern California, and we recite a special Thanksgiving hymn (that definitely everyone knows!).
