Hey Hollywood, Hire Us!Looney Lit or Miserable Melodies (aka Bugs in Drag)Did you think we were done messing with the cartoons of our childhood? You were wrong!

Here's a game: Take a drink (water is acceptable) every time you hear "Bugs in drag."2023-01-221h 17

Hey Hollywood, Hire Us!Supe HalloweenWe're starting to be like Doctor Who - making you wait long periods between episodes. If anything we are consistently inconsistent. In this episode we discuss super hero (and villain) Halloween parties. What would each person wear? We take this novel idea to both DC and Marvel universes. Disney and/or WB (now DC Studios) should really give us some animated nonsense of this nature. 2022-10-301h 09

Hey Hollywood, Hire Us!Holiday Mix UpWhat makes a Christmas movie a Christmas movie? Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? If we changed the holiday for certain movies, would that change the movie at all?

Hey Hollywood, Hire Us!MOTU Part 2: Electric BoogalooNow that Part 2 of Season 1 of Masters of the Universe: Revelation has been viewed, it's time to talk about it. Brocktor Jones recently saw Kevin Smith at the Pageant in St. Louis and was able to get an answer to that great question: How the f*ck did he get that voice cast? Included is the audio recorded by Madame Scarlet. If we misquote him, it is our own fault. Listen for that shameless plug when Brocktor Jones asks his question. We really should have saved this for Episode 37. Get it?2021-12-041h 25
