In a time before superhero movies were profitable or even good, there was Meteor Man. Surprised? We were too. Today we have LA comic and absolute madman Mike Menendez to talk about the movie. This was after giving us three very obscure options for his episode.Meteor Man is a 90s film with about every black actor and comedian you could think of back then, it's about a DC (heh) area school teacher who gets super powers after being hit by a meteor. With his newfound powers like super strength, speed, and animal telepathy, he decides to fight a gang called the Golden Lords in his neighborhood with the help of the Bloods and Crips. That's the actual movie, now imagine the fanfic for it.Read the full story here!Follow Mike Menendez @mikemenendez on Twitter or @mikethemenendez on Instagram!Follow Atlas @atlasnovack on Twitter or Instagram!Follow Nick @millennialcomic on Instagram!Follow us @badreadingpod on Twitter or Instagram!Check out our other episodes on our Youtube channel or anywhere you find your podcasts!

Oi mate, fancy a shag on this Valentine's Day? Vaguely offensive Britishisms aside, on this lovely Friday we have Sarah Bugden, hilarious comic and producer/co-host of the Downtown LA Comedy Crawl, to talk about Fleabag.A critically acclaimed comedy created by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (who also was heavily involved in the BBC amazingness that is Killing Eve), Fleabag tells the story of a young woman in the UK's trials and tribulations in work, love, sex, and pretty much anything else a millennial goes through.This makes for a bit of a complicated problem when it comes to fanfiction, as every fanfic seems to be about sex at some point, so Atlas went out and picked something not featuring the characters from Fleabag, but rather the style of Fleabag. Get ready for a pissed off Sarah!Read the full story here!Follow Sarah Bugden @thesarahbugden on Twitter or Instagram!Follow Atlas @atlasnovack on Twitter or Instagram!Follow Nick @millennialcomic on Instagram!Follow us @badreadingpod on Twitter or Instagram!Check out our other episodes on our Youtube channel or anywhere you find your podcasts!

Back, in the 90s, this was a very famous TV shoowwwwwwwww, it starred Calista Flock- Calista Flock- Calista Flockhart, don't act like youuuuuuuuu don't know...Actually, we didn't.

This week on Bad Reading, our podcast is 2 months, 2 days, 23 hours, and 37 minutes old. And on this glorious Friday, we have for you the coolest comic this side of the 110: Mia Mars! Mia is a fan of Pushing Daisies, an ABC show cancelled before its rightful time thanks to the writers' strike of the late 2000's. It features a man who is able to bring the dead back to life with a touch, but with a cost. Our story today is what happens years down the line when the costs of that gift start to show themselves. Get ready for an underrated show with an underratedly bad fanfiction in tow!Read the full story here!Follow Mia Mars @miafuckingmars on Twitter or Instagram!Follow Atlas @atlasnovack on Twitter or Instagram!Follow Nick @millennialcomic on Instagram!Follow us @badreadingpod on Twitter or Instagram!Check out our other episodes on our Youtube channel or anywhere you find your podcasts!

So please, join us in a wacky adventure full of plotholes and grammatical errors, as we recapture the 80's, Kidder style!Read the full story here!Follow Chris Kidder @TRLsuchakidder on Twitter or @such.a.kidder Instagram!Follow Atlas @atlasnovack on Twitter or Instagram!Follow Nick @millennialcomic on Instagram!Follow us @badreadingpod on Twitter or Instagram!Check out our other episodes on our Youtube channel or anywhere you find your podcasts!

Today, we're featuring Joe Manente, human firecracker (EXPLOW!) and founder of the Fourth Wall Studios, which are comedy clubs that are popping up all over LA.
