Think you have impeccable taste in film and television? Spoiler alert... You don't. Join Britt Couch and Ben Minnich every week as they force themselves to watch some of the worst pop culture sensations that have graced the small screen. Everything is fair game, from the "best" episodes of The Big…
"Better late than never" is probably a phrase that doesn't apply here. But yes, we're back with an episode from last year, hence the Christmasy theme. It's a Christmas Vacation! Never got this one out because of a billion different reasons, but seems like it would be a good way to prepare your earholes for our Second Coming. Capitalized because it's sure to be an event that'll go straight to the history books... That's right. NEW EPISODES SOON. So enjoy this garbage fire of an episode in the meantime, or at least pass an hour with us as we celebrate National Lampoon's A Christmas Intervention.
This week The Simpsons get roasted for real in the first of many(?) Christmas themed episodes. Britt and Ben take it back to 1989 for the very first ep of America's favorite four-fingered family. Featuring guest appearances from a malevolent AI and the first couple seconds of the Rick and Morty theme song.
Apologies for the abundance of audio issues, they're all Natalie's fault. Also, I was way off about the sentence served by the infamous Weatherford Spitter, here's the real story: https://www.weatherforddemocrat.com/news/local_news/weatherford-man-who-threatened-spit-on-officer-gets--year/article_b9c10b8f-8a2d-5726-bf7c-5a059f8eb5cb.html
Just in time for Halloween (heh heh) Ben and Britt endure Britt's all time favorite Austin Powers sequel, Halloween: Halloween Two Oh. It's light on scares and but does feature LoL Cool J as a shapeshifting security guard, which is kinda cool. You win some, you lose some, I guess.
In a world where movies are named after their pacing issues instead of their content, Britt and Ben dive headfirst into the spoooookily wet summer blockbuster, Crawl... and come up dry.
It's the most wonderful time of the year! The time to Netflix and chill, emphasis on CHIIIIIIILL. Britt, Natalie and Ben finally get around to The Office. And being the season for tricks and treating, it's a Halloween episode. But first, Britt and Ben must face the scariest enemy of all for one final showdown... TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.
A new weekly bonus episode where we attempt to talk about things that DON'T suck! To quote William Ferrell in the cinematic masterpiece, We Bought a Zoolander, "Haaaaaappppyyyy ha ha ha ha..."
COWABUNGA DUDES! This week's episode gives ya a little taste of our Patreon exclusive episodes. Britt makes Ben watch one of his childhood favorites, 1990's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Movie. Will Ben be succumb to Britts childhood taste and actually get into something that is basically just guys in puppet masks and NOT a bunch of horrible CGI? Well... Death comes for us all...
Highschoolers aren't the only thing on the menu in this week's episode. Britt and Ben sink their teeth into the series premiere of The Vampire Diaries, and decide straight up VD would be more enjoyable. Stay tuned "get over here" next week for a "flawless victory" of an episode! Hint hint, wink wink.
This week Britt and Ben decide to tackle one of those Law and Order: CSI NCSIDGAF shows, Criminal Minds. The episode, "Masterpiece," turns out to be anything but. Featuring the plotlines of every 2000's action film and every guy who played George in Seinfeld AND a Tank Girl reference. What's not to love?
Ben reminds Britt that not ALL of the 90's was complete garbage by showing him the worst episode of The X-Files, a childhood favorite. Join them as they discuss and destroy "Teso Dos Bichos" which surprisingly doesn't translate the way you would think.
Finally, some positivity. Ben bucks the established system by convincing Britt to watch the first season of Amazon's fantastic anti-superhero show, The Boys. ***SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRE FIRST SEASON(and some minor spoilers for the comic)***
Brittches and Ben stomp all over sacred ground in this ill-advised examination of Dr. Who's most beloved episode. Blink and you'll miss the titular character in the tenth episode of the third season of Dr. Where(the f*** is he)
While writing the summary for the first episode of the second season of this podcast, Ben wonders why this podcast has seasons in the first place. Seems a little silly, but at least it means no more episodes of Friends. This week, Britt rolls out another of his favorites, 2 Broke Girls and One Cup(cake stand)
All good things come to an end, and thankfully the same is true for bad things. In the final episode of DMMWT's first season, Britt has a startling realization and Ben praises the gods that he'll never have to watch another episode of Friends. Little does he realize, there are far worse shows in store... "The One With Christmas in Tulsa"
Ben insists on watching the Pilot of Friends, and quickly understands why Britt tried to keep it swept under the rug. Featuring a very special guest of the feline variety.
Britt falls in love with Joey all over again, while Ben continues his trademark disruptive segways and incoherent rants in this very special, very spun off episode about the truly atrocious Friends spin-off, Joey. Buckle in, it's Garbage Day!
Britt and Ben spend way too much time talking about Giovanni Ribisi. Also they discuss another garbage episode of the garbage television show, Friends. The One With all the Embryos, to be specific.
Today's episode hits a little to close to home for Ben. Britt and special guest Lauren May continue to extoll the virtues of awful television shows, turning their focus on "The One where Ross Got High." Ben wishes he was high and just settles for falling asleep halfway through the podcast. Thank God for editing!
Ben finds himself outnumbered as Britt brings along a special guest with equally bad taste to watch 'The One with Phoebes Ex-partner" (as an aside, can you decipher who's been writing these episode descriptions? Totally not biased in any way, shape or form... Right??)
The show takes a brave new direction as Ben picks the show this time... Nah, still Friends. Still awful. "The One with the Halloween Party."
Britt continues to push Ben into his favorite "Friends" episodes, although Ben kind of likes this one. They watch "The One with the Girl who Hits Joey."
Britt and Ben have always had vastly differing opinions on the hit 90's sitcom, Friends. One of them is correct. The other one is Britt. Join them on their descent into TV hell where the sound of laugh-tracks echo off the walls and the only temporary salvation is whiskey on the rocks and boxed wine. On the menu today: The One Where Ross Finds Out.
