No guest this week — just Dimples and The Beard, a stack of unhinged news stories, and a brand-new assistant named Eleanor Vance, who lost her last job at the zoo for reasons we probably shouldn't say out loud. (We say them out loud.)

We also get into the Milwaukee woman who faked her way into a classroom as a substitute teacher, the girlfriend who smeared peanut butter on her severely allergic boyfriend, a Florida poop-bucket situation, the Christa Pike execution saga, the viral claim that California is making short drivers use booster seats, donuts and a DUI at an Indiana courthouse, Dimples' Ford Fiesta donut story and a love letter to Stuc's Pizza.

Plus: Episode 300 is our first-ever livestream — Halloween night, Saturday, October 31 at 7 PM Central, live on Instagram and YouTube. The costumes stay top secret until showtime.

Heidi Shepherd, vocalist of Butcher Babies, and KateLynn Newberry star in Devour — the wild horror flick with an all-female metal band made up of vampires battling a warlock-run cult including a werewolf and a minotaur. They join Dimples and The Beard to talk about the minotaur fight — shot in about an hour at dawn, two days before Christmas, in the freezing cold — and the "soup room," an actual swimming pool of blood and body parts.

We also get into the casting shuffle that landed Heidi in KateLynn's original role, the improvised "boring Jerry" line that tilted the movie toward comedy, the hurricane that ate the first werewolf suit, how an 8-day shoot stretched to 35, and KateLynn's role in Clint Eastwood's Juror #2 — where Eastwood took her hand and thanked her for being in his movie.

Devour is out now on video on demand!

Greg Giraldo Jr. is carrying one of the most famous names in comedy — and he's earning it on his own. The New York roast-battle regular joins Dimples and The Beard to talk about starting out under a fake name (Greg Hernandez, and the hacky jokes that came with it), why being a nepo baby is like being a hot girl, and what it's like when every roast battler you face has the same obvious target.

We also get into his day job as a New York City substitute teacher — why seventh graders are the worst people alive, dodging impossible questions from students, and denying to kids' faces that he's the guy from TikTok. Plus the story of how he got FIRED from being Spider-Man at children's birthday parties (the costume-party business is apparently run by the mob and ex-strippers), the roast joke that won him his girlfriend, getting passed over by Kill Tony twice, and growing up as the self-described dumbest of the three Giraldo brothers.

There's a Big Baby on Shudder... or at least there will be soon. October 30th to be exact. Powerman 5000 frontman Spider One and Terrifier 3's Krsy Fox join Dimples and The Beard to talk Big Baby, their new meta slasher hitting Shudder this Halloween. They dig into how a deliberately absurd short grew into a full psychological horror feature, the custom Big Baby mask, and the moment Spider admitted two podcaster characters in the movie are directly based on Dimples and The Beard themselves.

Spider and Krsy also get into Art the Clown actor David Howard Thornton's unexpected speaking cameo, the Kevin Smith Smod Castle screening, the film's deliberately ambiguous ending, Krsy going from Terrifier 3 to playing the heart of this one, their grindhouse-style family road tour, and what's next — including Big Baby 2. Plus a Gardenista cocktail tasting along the way.

Comedian Galina Rivina joins Dimples and The Beard to talk about her Kill Tony appearance, performing in front of Tony Hinchcliffe and Jimmy Carr, and why “fast and furious” was the perfect accidental description. She also explains why Furious 7 is her favorite installment in the franchise, how Austin wore her down after her comedy career stalled in Los Angeles, and what the city’s massive Kill Tony bucket scene is really like.

Galina shares how she learned English by watching Rugrats, escaped Cleveland for Los Angeles, discovered stand-up during her first visit to The Comedy Store, and survived bombing her first set. The conversation also covers her bad tattoos, producing the Galina Rivina Podcastina, doing everything herself, and building a comedy career without getting trapped on the road.

Hannah Fierman joins Dimples and The Beard to discuss playing Lily in V/H/S and SiREN, including the producer who wanted to recast her, the contortionist stunt double behind Lily’s inhuman movements, and why Hannah’s real singing voice was ultimately used in SiREN. She also takes us behind the scenes of St. Agatha, revealing that Sarah’s brutal tongue-cutting scene wasn’t originally in the script and explaining what it was like working with director Darren Lynn Bousman and Carolyn Hennesy.

Hannah also discusses winning Best Lead at HorrorHound for Demonatrix and the film’s bizarre mix of a dominatrix, a Catholic priest, séances, demons, and dark comedy. Plus, she shares the compromises involved in directing The Events Surrounding a Peeping Tom, the three-hour process of gluing artificial eyes across her face for a music video, and producing Bunker Heights—a throwback crime-comedy-creature feature described as Lethal Weapon meets C.H.U.D..

Sky Elobar—Big Brayden from the cult comedy The Greasy Strangler—joins The Beard and Dimples for an uncensored look behind one of the strangest movies ever made. Sky reveals what he thought when he first read Jim Hosking and Toby Harvard’s outrageous script, how he landed the role, Don Swayze’s unexpected audition, Michael St. Michaels’ struggle to remember Big Ronnie’s dialogue and Elijah Wood’s reaction while watching them film. He also discusses the uncomfortable prosthetics and greasy suits, Big Ronnie’s unforgettable dance, scenes considered too extreme to shoot, the film’s surprising Sundance success and the original ending featuring Big Brayden and Big Ronnie running naked through downtown Los Angeles.

Sky also takes us inside Jim Hosking’s Ebony and Ivory, including its marathon dialogue, the freezing 45-degree ocean scene that nearly killed his co-star, smoking “doobie woobies” made from green tea and filming in Cornwall, England. He explains how Renegades helped launch Hosking’s Sundance journey, how his own new psychological feature grew from a short film and how Greasy Strangler fans—including Deadmau5 and a TCU football player—helped make it happen. The conversation also covers Sky’s music career with Seventh House, opening for Dave Matthews Band and Bob Seger, recording with a German metal band, signing with Phil Anselmo’s Housecore Records, getting naked on Conan, joining SAG and appearing in commercials with Bill Hader, Sarah McLachlan and LeBron James—plus the September 18 Ebony and Ivory screening at the Rivoli Theatre in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Comedian and screenwriter Greg Roque joins The Beard and Dimples to reveal the full story behind the viral Roast Battle clip in which he relentlessly roasted Tony Hinchcliffe. Greg explains why their history became personal, whether he would still go after Tony today and why he considers himself one of the comedy “punk pioneers” who criticized Tony before it was cool.

Greg also discusses his Black List-recognized Jerry Springer screenplay, the influence Steve Martin had on his education, his massive physical-media collection, watching more than 1,000 movies in one year, becoming a quadriplegic after a spinal-cord injury at 14, fatherhood and his newly recorded comedy special, Invalid Invalid.
