This week, we continue Spooky Season with the 9th entry into the always mid-tier V/H/S franchise! They're unevent, they're usually overlong, and yet we love 'em! Will this music-themed entry warm our hearts? Well, it does involve GWAR, so you know Les is down, and the Henson Creature Shop is part of it, so Nick is interested.... Let's ROCK! #GWAR #VHSMixtape

This week, we take a break from the spooky to talk about our Patreon pick of the month from JPV! It's an NZ-produced sitcom about the funniest of all injuries - mysterious spinal paralysis!! Did the show charm the Dudes? Yes. Yes it did.  Then on diaries - Avatar: Seven Havens! That Carrie series!! Let's GOOOOO!!! 1:40-1:33:34 TV Diaries 3:53-55:50 Carrie 55:48-1:33:44 Seven Havens Ep 1-6 1:34:35 Spinal Destination #CarriePrime #AvatarSevenHavens #SpinalDestinationNZ

The Evil Dead movie Les and Nick heard was gawd-awful finally gets a shot... and it's a complicated mess. This movie 90% RIPS. Just great stuff. Then it collapses in the last 15 minutes into a sad wreck that STUNNED the dudes. Seriously, what was the thought process on making this? The Dudes get into every gory detail and go much deeper into this movie than expected. Let's GO!!

This week, we check out Mike Flanagan's new Carrie series on Prime, and get the answer to the eternal question - do we need a (i wanna say) FIFTH Carrie iteration? TURNS OUT, YES. The show is fantastic so far, and we'll get into all our thoughts on the changes, the performances, and more. We're only halfway through the series, so we assume prom goes great for her, right? Plus, that LANTERNS finale. What the ever-lovin'... And that TED LASSO finale! Stuck the landing on an uneven season. And in diaries, Physical 100 Mexico! East of Eden! Let's GOOO! 3:05-1:28:15 TV Diaries 19:25-56:20 Lanterns S01 Finale 56:20-1:28:15 Ted Lasso S04 1:29:15-1:15:00 Carrie #TedLasso #Lanterns #Physical100 #Physical100Mexico #EastofEdenNetflix #CarriePrime

As part of our Spooktober ROLL FOR SPOOKY, we made up a mess of fun this week! It's the BANANA SPLITS MOVIE! This mostly-forgotten flick from 2019 was the best of the "five nights" type movies (FNAF, Willy's, and the Splits). Don't think I'm right in that assessment? We break it all down in this episode. TRA LA LA LA LA LA LA! Les grew up with the Splits, and Nick never saw the original show. Will the movie be gory enough for them both? It's time to ROCK OUT!

This week, Les and Nick kick off Spooky Season with Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice's simple as hell but endlessly entertaining CREEP series! You know, the one about a serial killer who hires victims to film him... Two movies that shouldn't have worked gave way to three seasons of the dead-simplest anthology show. Is it good? Yeah, actually. It's pretty freaking fun. Let's discuss! Plus, Lanterns! President Curtis, Ted Lasso, and more! 0:55-1:18:12 TV Diaries 8:05-13:45 President Curtis 13:45-21:40 Lanterns 51:15-1:18:12 Ted Lasso S04 1:20:40- The Creep Tapes

This week, we head into Raccoon City for the newest Resident Evil movie, and holy hell did we love it. It's funny, it's gory, and we only had one tiny quibble with it. What didn't we like? You know we're gonna tell you. Let's GO! #ResidentEvil

This week, Nick and Les spotlight a great new animated show over on Netflix that we think is getting lost in the shuffle - it's the Mike Schur co-produced DANG! and it's funny as hell. Wanna know why?? We get into all the hilarious details. Let's GO! Plus: President Curtis, Neagley, and you know we watched Lanterns... 1:20-TV Diaries 7:40-15:35 President Curtis (HBO) 15:35-42:05 Neagley (Prime) 42:05-1:19:20 Lanterns (HBO) 1:20:15-Dang! (Netflix)

After an abandoned attempt at watching Tommy Wiseau's BIG SHARK, the Dudes checked out a much better bad shark movie. WATER PARK SHARK!! If the title of the movie didn't make you stop reading, you're our people. This movie is a hoot, and we talk all about it! Let's GO! #WaterParkShark #BigShark #TommyWiseau #OhHiShark

This week, Patreon Showrunner JPV picks the topic, and it's THE VARNELL HILL SHOW! Nick and Les didn't grow up on much Martin, and might be lost as hell in this spinoff of a decades-old sitcom. But we're rolling through it anyway! Les loves a classic sitcom... maybe this'll charm the Dudes. Let's GO! Plus - REACHER FINALE! New Ted Lasso! That LANTERNS episode!! #TheVarnellHillShow #Reacher #TedLasso #Lanterns

This week, Nick and Les head to the theater to check out Casper Kelly's new movie about a kid's show that goes horribly wrong! Did Buddy capture our hearts, or leave us picking apart the lore? Bit of both, honestly. Check it out!

This week, we check out the spin-off of Rick and Morty starring Keith David as the coolest president ever! Can PRESIDENT CURTIS define itself against the juggernaut of RICK & MORTY? (Spoilers - it's pretty fantastic!)  Plus, we check in on REACHER, talk about TED LASSO, and you know we watched LANTERNS! Let's GOOOOOOO!

This week, we're chatting about Season 2 of the FX sitcom ADULTS! Les binged s1 last year and liked it, but didn't go and tell the world... now season 2 is back, and seems stronger? more dialed-in? Less Billie-centric? But the burning question - Will Nick think it's funny?? Plus, we talk a little Lasso, a little Lanterns, and that FURIOUS FINALE!!... it's all in the diaries! Let's GOOOOOO!! 1:00- 1:21:15 TV Diaries 2:20-39:00 Ted Lasso S04 39:00-1:03:10 Lanterns 1:03:10-1:21:15 Furious 1:23:00- Adults S02

This week, we caught a movie that had slipped our radar, and boy did we luck out. Saul Goodman himself starring in a movie Les thought was a sequel to Nobody (that's actually Nobody 2). Normal is a 2025 crazy-ass action movie from Ben Wheatley, and WOW DOES IT RIP. Seriously, we had a blast watching this. So fun, I'm a little mad no one was screaming its praising last year. It's awesome! Wanna know why?? Take a listen!

In brightest day, in blackest night... That's right! With two episodes out, we're talkin' Lanterns! Nick and Les are both comics nerds, and are ready for a space-farin' crazy aliens and glowing oven mitts show about Hal and John! *checks notes* Ah. Or, I guess a True Detective meets Fargo thing with a power ring that makes birds and can openers. That's fine too. Let's GOOOO!!! Plus, over on diaries, we got REACHER, FURIOUS, and TED LASSO! #Reacher #Furious #TedLasso #Lanterns #PutGreenInTheNameYouCowards #UnlessThisIsAMisdirect #AndWereDoingAllTheLanterns #LarfleezOrWeRiot
