Tim joins me for a triple dose of Mr. Bates. A very creepy Halloween episode full of slime, incest and jacking off.

Cut Up Tim Ahlin joins me to discuss the auteur Anthony Perkins as well as a weird late 80's TV swing by NBC which incorporates ghosts and fake Scooby-Doo ghosts and Jason Bateman.

Jason Anthony Harris joins me to discuss all things Bates. Turns out, this guy got up to a lot. Let's sort out canon.

Price Ashe is back for the episode that was intended to be this week's only episode because the last one was supposed to come out last week. Anyways, Ron Burgundy!

Price Ashe joins me for a discussion of the Grumpies! Lemmon/Matthau reunite to call each other names and try to get laid.

My old pal David Gallagher joins me to discuss the Clint Eastwood orangutan duology. Beers to you!

Catch up time again, with Matty Ragz. We've got a Jackass clip show and a 2 billion dollar busting wallcrawler.

Nathaniel Safren is back to talk birds.

We catch up on a couple of recent franchise entries, both of which Daniel thinks are real dogs.

Tim comes on and forces Bean upon me, apparently a member of his pop culture Mount Rushmore. I wanted to play "Boombastic" or "I Love LA" at the end but the app I use isn't working. Oh well.

Eric Nelson returns to the show to do a deep dive into some real cult classics.

Matty gives Daniel a lesson on Indonesia. Daniel sounds predictably stupid.

Did you know that a new Star Wars movie came out this year? Wild. Also, the Wayans Siblings are back! All of them!

It's a We Love Kids Movies redux here as we reenter the Schneiderverse.

Tim Ahlin's back for more Muniz Month, as we discuss his very horny foray into the spy genre. This week on The Franchise, Hilary Duff's mom pulls off a coup d'etat.
