Writer, actor, comedian and all-round wonderful human being Mary Jo Pehl joins us as we try to untangle the twisted tale of Brian De Palma's Sisters (1972). Starring Margot Kidder (of Superman and The Amityville Horror fame) in the dual roles of demure French Canadian model Danielle and her psychotic, groin-stabby twin Dominique, and Jennifer Salt as the hard-boiled investigative journalist determined to prove the murder she witnessed from her apartment window, Sisters is at once a delirious Hitchcockian fever dream that would define the direction of De Palma's career and dark exposé of the forces ranged against the women's liberation movement. But is it a thrilling thriller or a shrill, tiresome pastiche? Find out!

It rules.The Dave Hill Goodtime Hour is a production of Dumb Industries.

I invited Chris Gersbeck to be on the show mostly to chat about the huge career strides he's made in the last 2 years as producer, publicist, and podcaster and founder of DUMB Industries, but I inadvertently roped him into helping me with my own self-esteem issues. I felt much better at the end. But we did manage to squeeze some Chris info in. A great story of how he made DUMB Industries happen. Chris really is a special person—people feel better just being around him, but I can't say exactly why or how—he's just that way. I'm not the only person that feels that way, I'll bet a lot of the famous people he works with would say the same thing. There's too many famous people to list here and he's got plenty of his own following as well. Do your own research! Ok well I'll mention a few he's working with in April— Dave Hill, Frank Coniff, Trace Beaulieu, Mary Jo Pehl but that's it! ALSO you can learn a lot from listening to him talk about his approach to work. Think of it this way—Chris is the product of both parents his mother and father each had successful careers in project management at blue chip companies. Getting shit done well is definitely baked into his nature. So not sure if everyone can try this at home, but you will see what I mean and give it a whirl. More about Chris Gersbeck:  Chris Gersbeck, is a producer, publicist, and podcaster born and raised in Queens, NY. He is sometimes credited as C.S. Gersbeck. He attended college at SUNY Plattsburgh. Chris first became involved in the New York City comedy scene in 2014 as a stand-up comedian, but stepped back from performing in 2018 to focus on producing & promoting live comedy and podcasts under the banner of Dumb Industries. During that time, he began co-producing Open Riff Night with Frank Conniff, a live show where anyone could riff on clips of bad movies at QED in Astoria, Queens. He also produced Movies R Dumb, a live-riffing show that often featured Frank Conniff, and Dave Hill's Podcasting Incident (now known as The Dave Hill Goodtime Hour) along with comedian Dave Hill for the Maximum Fun network. Chris has since gone on to work behind-the-scenes for the podcasts RISK! and Keith and The Girl, as well as the Zoom reunion show for the comedy troupe The State in June 2020. Since July 2020, he has produced and hosted each of The Mads Are Back's monthly livestreams. He is also the producer of The Mary Jo Pehl Show.

What's black and white and now streaming on AppleTV Plus?

Mary Jo Pehl wrote and acted in MST3K, a comedy show which dug up old (terrible) sci fi flicks and then pelted jokes at it. Over the course of its run, MST3K pioneered a new comedic medium, and rose from a local access program, to a Comedy Central hit, to cult classic. Mary Jo joins Heaton to discuss how they put the show together, and the deeper side of the comedy that went into it.

Mary Jo Pehl, original writer for Mystery Science Theater 3000, and actor and comedian Nick Sperdute join the show to discuss the week's best, most underserved headlines

Bill is joined by friends and classic MST3K vets Trace Beaulieu and Mary Jo Pehl to discuss the super-fun topic of aging! An honest but not particularly serious chat about getting older in the arts & entertainment world, and the world in general. Spoiler: it’s really not that bad. Oww my knees.

Bill and friends talk about where the Me Too movement is now, where it came from, and where it might be going. Also: Japanese mascot madness; Clint Eastwood plays a squinty old grouch for a change; slightly-used British detective TV; and an island of actual art in the poisonous stream that is Twitter dot com. Finally: we try to advise a lonely listener whose job has left her virtually orphaned. With Brandi Brown, Mary Jo Pehl and Shanan Custer.

We pay our respects to the respects being paid to George HW Bush. Also JK Rowling's la-di-dah "writing room," the 70s fashion battle in Versailles, exploring the Ryanverse, and Survivor, the show that somehow keeps surviving. Plus we try to help a young woman deal with her egg-stealing dad. With Brandi Brown, Mary Jo Pehl, Bryan Miller, and a piece by Joseph Scrimshaw.

Thus begins an occasional series of one on one interviews with Funhouse regulars. Bill re-gets to know his dear friend and Mystery Science Theater 3000 / RiffTrax jokemate Mary Jo Pehl. They discuss MJ growing up in the esteemed first family of Circle Pines, MN.; our unreasonably confident parents; high school theater awkwardness; what the hell is standup comedy; MST3K old and new; and aging, which Bill is doing and Mary Jo is not. Plus: the next generation: better, or no?

With Election Day 2018 looming, we talk about voting and ask: should you vote?  And the answer is: OF COURSE YOU SHOULD, come on man. We also talk voter suppression and the limits of voting in addressing structural power imbalances.  But still, yes, to repeat, OF COURSE YOU SHOULD.  Then we discuss the American Girl empire; comedian and filmmaker Rudy Ray Moore, and Halloween candy safety X-rays.  Plus we try to help someone who recently moved and worries: is my new next-door neighbor going to make our lives miserable? With Brandi Brown, Mary Jo Pehl and Bryan Miller.

In December of 2007, Joel Hodgson and Trace Beaulieu, two of the creators of Mystery Science Theater 3000, assembled many of the original members of that cult TV phenomenon to form Cinematic Titanic, a live and DVD version based on their original formula of riffing on terrible movies. The actors essentially play themselves as they participate in an experiment for some unknown, possibly shadowy corporation or military force. The story currently provided to the cast is that there is a tear in the “electron scaffolding” that threatens all digital media in the world. Their experience doing MST3K is key to the organization’s plans. Two of the cast, Trace Beaulieu and Mary Jo Pehl, discussed their thoughts on producing Cinematic Titanic which came to Boston on October 29th at the Wilbur Theater. They spoke with Generoso Fierro and Jason Begy, both of CMS’s GAMBIT Game Lab.
