  • CARNIVAL OF SOULS - Ghoul, Interrupted
    Jul 3 2026

    In this week’s episode, your intrepid hosts quickly realize there’s something about Mary in the 1962 indie horror classic, Carnival of Souls. Talking points include Elliot Ghoul, organs, and the iPod Video. Plus, how do David and Justin land themselves in cinema jail yet again with truly “juicy” (and wholly unexpected) missed-movie revelations? Can Whyhaventology redeem them??

  • OUTLAND - From Io with Love
    Jun 6 2026

    In this episode, the boys put Peter Hyams’ 1981 movie Outland under the microscope to answer only the most salient questions: How many exploding heads is too many? Is a racquetball court really the best place for a therapy session? And just how did Earth’s most annoying mailman get strung out on space meth? Justin will be on the edge of his seat to see if this gritty reimagining of the 1952 classic western High Noon passes muster with David (whose strict standards for in-movie keyboard usage are finally revealed!).
