Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil (2010) Director: Eli Craig Starring: Tyler Labine, Alan Tudyk, Katrina Bowden, Jesse MossWhat if the scary hillbillies in every horror movie were just two sweet guys trying to fix up their vacation cabin? This week we dive into the cult classic horror-comedy Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil — a movie that bombed at the box office but built a devoted following by flipping every backwoods slasher trope on its head.In this episode, we discuss:"A Series of Unfortunate Events" — How the movie's genius writing chains escalating misunderstandings and bad luck into college kids accidentally offing themselves while Tucker and Dale just try to drink beer and fish. The beehive-chainsaw-Leatherface dance alone is worth the price of admission.The Chemistry That Shouldn't Work But Does — Labine and Tudyk didn't know each other before filming, but their buddy dynamic carries the whole movie. We discuss whether a sequel would ruin the magic and why it might work better as a half-hour TV show.Horror Movie? Or Just a Movie With Dead People In It? — A debate on whether this even qualifies as horror when there's zero tension and no villain. The gore ranges from impressively practical to questionable 2010 CG, but the comedy lands so consistently you barely notice — until the third act starts running on fumes."I'll Provide the Finger Sandwiches" — Our favorite gags, including Tucker pouring PBR over his amputated bowling fingers, the wood chipper scene that's somehow hilarious, and why the DVD bonus feature "Tucker and Dale Are Evil" is worth hunting down on physical media.We Also Talked About:Honey Don't! (2025) (Netflix) — Ethan Coen's solo effort with Margaret Qualley as a small-town PI. Coen formula watered down — despite the sex and dark humor, it's mostly boring. Verdict: don't watch it.Ren Faire (2024) (Amazon) — HBO's three-part doc about a massive Texas Renaissance Festival with its own town and police force. Game of Thrones meets Ren Fest as the aging king tries to retire and find a mail-order bride. Highly entertaining.Lady Bird (2017) (Amazon) — Greta Gerwig's coming-of-age film with Saoirse Ronan, Timothée Chalamet, Laurie Metcalf, and Beanie Feldstein. Sean's weekend watch with his daughter and a genuinely great movie.The Evil That Men Do (1984) (Tubi) — Charles Bronson revenge flick where the bad guy is the drunk dog guy from Seinfeld. Features nipple electrocution and Bronson allegedly kicking a dude's ass by his dick. Entertaining but forgettable.Secret Mall Apartment (Netflix) — Artists who lived inside a hollowed-out section of a Providence, RI mall for years, sneaking couches through sewer tunnels. A fun watch about gentrification and starving artists.Big Shark (2023) (Tubi) — Tommy Wiseau's follow-up to The Room. A wobbly-camera shark movie set in New Orleans that takes three sittings to finish — but once the shark shows up, it's exactly as stupid and entertaining as you'd hope.Also mentioned: The Big Lebowski, Burn After Reading, Miller's Crossing, O Brother Where Art Thou, The Room, Death Wish, Shaun of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead, District 9, Scream, Seinfeld, and PBR powder.Some of the above links are affiliate links — if you purchase through them we get a small kickback, and it's the best way to support the show.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week.

On today's episode of Ask Zac, we dive into the world of guitar wireless systems, specifically when and why you should consider ditching your instrument cable.From small casino stages to massive stages with thrusts, we look at how going wireless impacts your stage presence, overall safety, tone, and performance workflow. I also share a few embarrassing lessons I've learned the hard way (including a dropout mid-solo on a giant stage) so you can avoid making the same mistakes!Key Topics Covered:Why Go Wireless? The freedom of stage movement, safety from electrical shocks, and eliminating trip hazards/cable management.When to Make the Switch: Why cables work fine on tiny stages, but wireless becomes essential as stage size and performance expectations grow.The "Soundcheck Hack": How wireless lets you step out front into the audience area to hear what your rig actually sounds like through the PA.Tone & Pickup Buffering: Does wireless ruin your tone? We break down capacitance, signal buffering, and do an A/B audio comparison between a cable and a wireless unit.Pedalboard vs. Rack Units: Choosing the right tool for the job, when a pedalboard unit works vs. when you need a professional rackmount setup with external antennas.Video Chapters:0:00 - Intro: Talking to My Younger Self1:25 - Do You Need Wireless on Small Stages?3:00 - Stage Size & Showmanship Expectations4:25 - Real-World Story: Cabling vs. Stage Movement6:00 - Entertaining the Audience & Stage Freedom7:20 - Big Stages, Thrusts, and Cable Nightmares8:30 - Does Wireless Ruin Your Tone?11:08 - Stage Safety & Shock Prevention11:39 - Gear Review: Shure GLXD+ Pedalboard Wireless14:08 - Bodypack Placement & Guitar Switching Tips15:57 - Soundcheck Hack: Hearing Yourself Out Front16:37 - A/B Sound Test: Wireless vs. D'Addario Cable18:23 - Pickup Buffering & Capacitance Explained19:15 - What to Avoid: Cheap Units & Big Stage Dropouts20:50 - Final Thoughts on Showmanship & Wrapping UpGear Featured in This Episode:Shure GLXD+ Digital Wireless Pedalboard SystemD'Addario Instrument CablesIf you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and share it with a fellow gear head.

As summer draws to a close and we reflect on America's 250th anniversary, Americana is having a moment—and no one has defined it more beautifully or enduringly than Ralph Lauren.My guest today, interior designer Javier Burkle, knows that world firsthand. After working with Ralph Lauren, he founded the Dallas-based firm Burkle Creative. A two-time featured designer at the prestigious Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas, Javier has also been recognized by Architectural Digest, Veranda, ELLE Decor, Vogue and Homeworthy. His interiors are timeless, collected and deeply personal.After working with Ralph Lauren, he founded the Dallas-based firm Burkle Creative, known for interiors that feel timeless, collected and deeply personal.Together, we explore what gives Ralph Lauren style its unmistakable feeling—not one particular period or palette, but the layering of old and new, polished and timeworn, personal history and beautiful craftsmanship.Javier shares how we can bring that sensibility into our own homes through inherited pieces, patina, unexpected modern touches, lighting and fabric. And because this style is as much about living as decorating, we also talk about gracious hospitality and creating a welcoming home bar.This is a conversation about bringing layered American style to life—and making it distinctively your own.Connect with Javier Burkle @burkle creative and burklecreative.comConnect with Anne: @classicandcuriouslife, classicandcurious.com and on Substack: Curiosities by Anne Kokoskie{chapters}}

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to break its one rule, NO MORE TYLER PERRY MOVIES. This decision came only because of "Why Did I Get Married Again?" is the final movie(?) in this Tyler Perry trilogy, and the other two in the series were previously reviewed (and we actually enjoyed the first one). So this film follows the children of the main characters in the series and as two of the kids are getting married. The film aims to show the character development of the cast that we've been following for almost 20 years. Does the movie succeed?Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community. We review Black films across every genre — from Black horror and Black sci-fi to indie dramas, comedies, and blockbuster action. Covering filmmakers like Spike Lee, Jordan Peele, Ryan Coogler, Ava DuVernay, and more. Hosted by Jay, Micah, Terrence, and T'ara. Featured on RogerEbert.com. A TNP Studios production. New episodes weekly on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major platforms. For more TNP Studios content, check out The Nerdpocalypse (movie & TV news), Look Forward (progressive politics), and Dense Pixels (video game news).

We are thrilled to welcome back writer, designer, entrepreneur, and former model India Hicks to the podcast! As the daughter of legendary British interior designer David Hicks, India grew up surrounded by formal theatrical design, but her 30 years living in the Bahamas have distinctly softened her approach. She joins us to discuss her fourth book, Entertaining with a Side of Chaos, which serves as part memoir and part tablescaping guide. Embrace the Unexpected: Rather than stressing over a flawless evening, prioritize gathering, putting phones down, and fostering meaningful conversations. India once moved a fully set dining table for 30 people into a breezy lane at the last minute simply to escape the summer heat. Invest in Folding Furniture: To maintain flexibility in where you host, India highly recommends using inexpensive folding tables and folding bamboo chairs. This allows you to easily move your party to a new location on a whim. Forage and Improvise: When traditional floral centerpieces aren't an option, look to what you have in abundance. A basketful of tomatoes or a line of reclaimed glass jars acting as bud vases can create a dramatic and beautiful tablescape. Curate the Conversation: Using assigned seating isn't about stuffy hierarchy; it shows you have thoughtfully considered your guests. It saves everyone the awkwardness of finding a seat and allows the host to pair people who will spark fascinating discussions. Build the Table Foundation: Start your tablescape with the tablecloth to set the tone. If using an ugly folding table, cut a bolt of plain fabric to the floor to hide the legs, then layer your decorative tablecloth or runner on top. Mix and Match: Your crockery and glassware do not need to perfectly match. A collection of chipped blue-and-white plates sourced individually from antique stores brings wonderful character to a meal. Read her new book: Entertaining with a Side of Chaos. Follow her on Instagram: @indiahicksstyle. Subscribe to her weekly Substack newsletter. Shop her table linens collection with Pomegranate.

Welcome back interior designer Meg Braff to the podcast! Meg first joined the show in 2017 to discuss her first book, The Decorated Home, and now she returns to celebrate her second book, Gracious Interiors, published by Rizzoli. Growing up in Mississippi, Meg watched her mother and grandmother host beautiful, thoughtful parties, and she has carried that effortless Southern hospitality into her design firm. She sits down with Caroline, Taryn, and Liz to discuss how she optimizes floor plans for hosting, why every guest room needs wallpaper, and her favorite tricks for making formal antiques feel approachable. Design for Entertaining: Meg begins every project by analyzing the floor plan to maximize how a family lives and hosts. She looks for ways to provide multiple dining options, like a small setup for six indoors or a long table for thirty outdoors, and uses elements like pergolas and outdoor fireplaces to extend the entertaining season. The "Dress Rehearsal" Trick: A great host makes entertaining look effortless so guests never feel like an inconvenience. Meg recommends setting your table the day before to ensure you have the right counts for flatware and vases, and turning on your playlist an hour early. This allows you to be fully dressed and enjoying a cocktail right before the doorbell rings. Thoughtful Guest Rooms: Wallpapering a guest room is an easy way to make visitors feel expected and special. Elevate the stay by clearing out the medicine cabinet, stocking it with nice toiletries, and leaving out a water carafe, a small plate of fruit, and a note with the Wi-Fi password. Demystifying Wallpaper: Meg—who launched her own expansive fabric and wallpaper line 18 years ago—loves bold patterns, but notes that even a simple grasscloth adds necessary warmth, depth, and texture to a room lacking architectural details. She also encourages hanging artwork directly over wallpaper, provided the pieces relate to each other in scale. Mixing Antiques & Textures: To keep formal antiques from feeling stodgy or unapproachable, Meg mixes in mid-century pieces, like brass and glass coffee tables. She also uses woven materials, like French rattan chairs, bamboo altar tables, or jute rugs, to visually lighten a room and make it feel younger. Go-To Accessories: Meg frequently layers her rooms with vintage brass, nautilus shells, colored or clear glass hurricanes for romantic lighting, and robust collections of books to make spaces feel truly lived-in.

What if the peace you've been praying for requires you to stop entertaining the things that keep disturbing it?We can pray for peace, ask God for clarity, and say we're tired of the chaos—but still leave the door open to the people, patterns, and situations that keep bringing it back.In You're Praying for Peace but Entertaining Chaos, Nyra and Tyreen get honest about the role we sometimes play in our own disruption. Through their personal experiences with faith, boundaries, and protecting their peace, they unpack what it looks like to recognize the chaos we've become comfortable with—and take responsibility for what we continue to allow.If you've been asking for peace while holding onto something you already know is disturbing it, this conversation might be the one you need.Take your walk, press play, and ask yourself: What am I still allowing that no longer belongs in my life?
