This week on Radio Labyrinth, we're talking about all the new things worth listening to — and a few things Spotify probably should've kept to itself.Spotify is celebrating 20 years with a new feature that digs through your entire listening history, revealing your first streamed song, your all-time stats, and the artists you may or may not want to admit you played the most. Tim's Spotify history is officially on trial, and yes, Tom Segura somehow entered the chat.We're also diving into Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 8: A Parade of Horribles, the latest entry in Matt Dinniman's wildly popular LitRPG series.

Earl Brown—a true character actor powerhouse whose career spans everything from Deadwood to There's Something About Mary, Preacher, and now the final season of The Boys.W. Earl stops by to talk about:* His cameo in the final season of The Boys

This week on Radio Labyrinth, Hollywood might want to check its ego—because the next generation of filmmakers didn't come up through film school… they came from YouTube.We break down the growing trend of digital creators making the jump to major studio projects, from Markiplier topping the box office with Iron Lung to indie creators landing massive franchises like Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we break down the news that Dungeon Crawler Carl is heading to Peacock with Seth MacFarlane producing. It's an alien apocalypse turned into a deadly game show… with a talking cat. So yeah—this could either be incredible or a complete disaster.

In this episode of Pathmonk Presents, Matt Carter, Director of Marketing at Napreva, shares how they approach growth in the highly sensitive chronic pain space. Napreva offers a plant-based supplement designed to help people struggling with long-term pain, but the real challenge lies in building trust with an audience that has been repeatedly let down. Matt breaks down how transparency, customer empathy, and honest messaging outperform traditional aggressive marketing tactics. He also dives into channel selection, why Facebook communities matter, and how aligning messaging with real customer experiences drives conversions. This episode is packed with practical insights for marketers navigating regulated industries and skeptical audiences.

Kristi Noem's husband is suddenly all over the news for reasons no one had on their 2026 bingo card… and yeah, we had to talk about it. This week on Radio Labyrinth, we dive into the strange internet fascination with Byron Noem's leaked photos, the surreal politics of image obsession, and why everybody in public life suddenly looks like they were rendered by AI.But that's just the beginning.We also cover clowns protesting in Bolivia, the latest bizarre chapter in the Tiger Woods saga, and a new documentary claiming the most famous Bigfoot footage of all time may have been fake — which naturally causes chaos among true believers.Then we celebrate classic Sesame Street episodes heading to Tubi, react to the new Supergirl trailer, and wonder why anyone thought we needed a Cape Fear series.Plus:

What happens when Hollywood brings an actor back from the dead… with AI?This week on Radio Labyrinth, we dive into the controversial (and fascinating) story of Val Kilmer being digitally resurrected for the upcoming film As Deep as the Grave—with full approval from his family. Is this the future of filmmaking… or are we crossing a line?We break down the ethics, the technology, and ask the big question: Who else should (or shouldn't) be brought back this way?PLUS:* Kelly Osbourne's latest look sparks some wild comments

Attorney Matt Carter is a partner with Fuller, Willingham and Carter located in Cullman, Alabama.  Matt's law firm is the largest firm in Cullman, and they handle a broad spectrum of legal matters for their clients.  A Cullman product where he was born and raised, it is hard to imagine Matt living anywhere else.  He tells a funny story about promising his wife that they would move to Cullman for just a couple of years at most after Matt finished law school.  And now, here they are still living in Cullman some twenty-five years later!  Matt is highly respected, personable and smart so it is no wonder that he has all of the work that he can handle.  I enjoyed getting to know Matt on this episode of the podcast.   

Kelly Osbourne's dramatic new look has the internet buzzing—We also talk about the NBA shutting down the Atlanta Hawks' planned Magic City Night, a promotion celebrating one of Atlanta's most legendary nightlife institutions.

Burger Wars are heating up… and apparently so are the Yorkshire moors.This week on the Radio Labyrinth Podcast, we take a bite out of the internet's latest fast-food drama as McDonald's launches the Big Arch burger and rival CEOs from Burger King and Wendy's jump into the fray with some very public trolling. Is this the start of a new Burger War, or just corporate marketing cosplay?Meanwhile, Lizzie brings some literary chaos into the mix with a look at the upcoming Wuthering Heights film adaptation starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. With director Emerald Fennell behind the camera, will this classic tale of obsessive love and revenge work for modern audiences… or is Hollywood about to turn the moors into a meme?Also this week: https://youtu.be/qaEGKv2XsEw• The internet loses its mind over conspiracy theories that Jim Carrey is a clone• Crispin Glover responds to disturbing allegations in a lawsuit involving a woman he allegedly lured to Los Angeles• Scrubs reboot backlash after fans discover the fate of its most beloved couple• Remembering legendary pop songwriter Neil Sedaka, whose hits helped define the early 60s and 70sPlus Views or Snooze reviews of Young Sherlock, Ted Season 2, and the Netflix sci-fi action film War Machine.And of course our Staff Picks this week include Paul McCartney's Man on the Run documentary, Battle Royale in 4K, a nostalgic burger throwback debate, and another look at Wuthering Heights.Pop culture, weird news, nostalgia, and a little Gen-X chaos — welcome back to the Labyrinth.Keep It Canon!Watch the YouTube version: ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀Hosts: Tim Andrews, Jeff Leiboff, Dustin Lollar and Lizzie Bruce JonesAudio Podcast & YouTube Video Edited by Dustin Lollar ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

Robert Carradine — best known as Lewis Skolnick in Revenge of the Nerds and as Sam McGuire on Lizzie McGuire — has died at 71. His family confirmed he died by suicide after a long battle with bipolar disorder, hoping that sharing his struggle might help reduce the stigma around mental health.This week on Radio Labyrinth, we reflect on Carradine's legacy, the iconic Carradine acting family, and what his loss means to a generation that grew up quoting Nerds and watching Disney Channel after school.

to ask. This week on Radio Labyrinth, we dive into the controversy, speculation, and politics that always seem to swirl around the Olympic Games. Is it corruption? Bias? National favoritism? Or just internet-fueled paranoia?From there, we cover a packed week in pop culture:We remember Jesse Jackson, Robert Duvall, and Tom Noonan — celebrating their impact on film, television, and culture.We break down:* David Boreanaz heading to Atlanta for NBC's reboot of The Rockford Files* Ted Levine reflecting on The Silence of the Lambs* Shia LaBeouf and the Mardi Gras arrest saga* The Van Der Beek GoFundMe debate* Episode 5 of A Knight of the Seven KingdomsPlus:

We had so much fun talking with Danielle Yang about the potential of tabletop role-playing games as a component of behavior analytic skill acquisition treatment from a research perspective. But in case that wasn't enough to give you a sense of what such an ABA session could look like, Danielle returns to run Rob and school psychologist/BCBA, Matt Carter, through a demo session of RPGs as a framework for teaching mindfulness and denial tolerance. Will Matt and Rob learn to be more flexible? Or will the impassable mushroom village be their doom? Interested in learning more about this topic? Danielle offers a deeper-dive course into the use of RPGs in treatment and skill planning. You can also join her Discord to chat with other RPG/ABA practitioners.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we welcome author Scott A. Young to discuss Fabricants, the explosive second installment in The Manifold Series — and the audiobook is narrated by our own Tim Andrews.After awakening from stasis on a galaxy-crossing colony mission, commanders Trapp and Bretta discover something terrifying: hundreds of Fabricants — the colony's synthetic workforce — have been neatly disassembled into lifeless piles. The survivors? Violent. Unstable. Rogue.Tim also shares what it's like narrating high-stakes sci-fi — finding the voice of commanders, synthetic beings, and galaxy-spanning tension inside a recording booth.Then we expand the conversation into the larger audiobook boom — sparked by recent buzz around Stephen King's upcoming Talisman trilogy finale — and why more readers are choosing to listen instead of read.If you're into The Expanse, Blake Crouch-style paranoia, or smart sci-fi that asks whether humanity is destined to be destroyed by its own creations — this episode is for you.

This week on the Radio Labyrinth Podcast, we welcome back returning guest Allen Stare, the voice behind WKRPCast and Severed, to talk about his brand-new podcast Hello, Carol, a companion show for Apple TV+'s Pluribus.Allen joins us to break down what makes Pluribus such a compelling watch, why it deserved a dedicated podcast, and what listeners can expect as Hello, Carol rolls out with its first episode now available. We talk podcasting instincts, fandom done right, and why some shows just beg to be unpacked episode by episode.Before Allen jumps in, we hit a few quick pop-culture stops: a rapid ranking of the best Super Bowl commercials of 2026, the increasingly cursed trend of AI work caricatures, and brief nods to the recent losses of Catherine O'Hara, Demond Wilson, and Chuck Negron — legends all.We also squeeze in a quick check-in on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, because of course we do.Insightful conversation, podcast nerdery, and just enough chaos to feel like home — it's another week in the Labyrinth.

This week on the Radio Labyrinth Podcast, we kick things off with a special guest—comedian, actor, writer, and director Steve Byrne, who joins us ahead of his Atlanta shows at Punchline Comedy Club.Steve talks about the most memorable (and chaotic) shows he's played in Atlanta, what's next for him behind the camera, and whether he's still plotting the eventual demise of Tony Scar from Kill Tony. We also give love to his films Always Amazing and The Opening Act, and dig into what draws him to telling stories beyond the stand-up stage.After that, we check in on life post S'nope 2026—surviving days trapped inside with a toddler, mild generator-related injuries, and watching Superman through the very loud, very concerned commentary of a small child (“Is Super Dog OK??”). We also touch on what we are and definitely are not watching right now, including thoughts on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and a firm pass on becoming Trek-olytes.Cold weather, comedy road stories, filmmaking, and just enough chaos—another week deep inside the Labyrinth.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we stare down the Atlanta ice storm—or whatever version of it actually shows up. Two days ago we were all doomed, today it's “mostly rain,” and YouTube weather channels are somewhere in between sounding the apocalypse siren. We talk storm panic, forecast whiplash, and the fine line between preparation and full-blown weather doom-scrolling.Then we pivot to pop culture comfort food with a debate over TV's greatest neighbor characters, sparked by a recent Washington Post ranking. From classic sitcom legends to chaotic wild cards, everyone brings their personal Top 3—and no, we do not all agree.Cold weather, hot takes, and the eternal question: who's the best neighbor in TV history—and why is everyone wrong except you?

New year, new season — welcome to Season 11 of the Radio Labyrinth Podcast.We kick things off with a special guest to start the year right: Randy Havens, best known as Hawkins High's beloved science teacher Mr. Clarke from Stranger Things.Randy joins us first to talk about the final season of Stranger Things, his experience being part of one of the biggest shows of the past decade, and what it's like watching fan theories spiral in real time — including the infamous “Conformity Gate” moment that was supposed to happen while we were recording. We also dig into Randy's roots as an Atlanta actor and how the rise of Hollywood in the ATL has changed opportunities for working performers outside of L.A.After the interview, we rewind and catch up on the holidays. The crew compares Christmas and New Year survival stories, sickness spreading like dominoes, family chaos, very little sleep, and way too much Stranger Things on repeat. We also touch on recent watches, books, AI rabbit holes, and the usual end-of-year pop-culture intake that comes with downtime.

We wrap up 2025 and Season 10 of Radio Labyrinth with a special guest and a little reflection. This week we're joined by Emmy-winning special effects artist Lee Romaire, whose work spans film, television, and cutting-edge animatronics. Lee talks practical effects, realism in creature design, and his work connected to Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein — plus why physical effects still matter in a CG-heavy world. Since this is S10-Ep50, we also look back at some of our favorite guests of the year and talk about what's ahead as we roll into Season 11.

Send us a textBourbon has never been bigger—but is it on solid ground?In this episode of Bottles & Bites Without Borders, Rob is joined once again by friend of the show Matt Carter to take a hard look at the current state of bourbon.

We also touch on It: Welcome to Derry, say goodbye to Gil Gerard and Anthony Geary, and wrap things up holiday-style. Short show, big legacy.

This week on Radio Labyrinth Podcast, a last-minute guest cancellation turns into a lean, off-the-rails episode where we just roll with it. We kick things off by talking about how shockingly good the new Frankenstein film turned out, before diving deep into the penultimate episode of IT: Welcome to Derry and what it's setting up for the finale — themes, tone, and whether the show is actually sticking the landing. From there, we hit Hollywood news, including reports of Andy Dick's latest overdose and Gene Simmons doing the most Gene Simmons thing imaginable in Washington, D.C. We wrap things up with a quick round of Views or Snooze, keeping it short and sweet this week. No overthinking. No filler.

It's the night before Thanksgiving and the Labyrinth is running on pure chaos, carbs, and zero show prep. With no show sheet and no plan (classic), the crew naturally drifts into the biggest online argument of the week: Variety's “100 Best Comedy Movies of All Time” list that has social media melting down. We break down their Top 10, share what they nailed, what they butchered, and what absolutely does not belong anywhere near a “Best Comedy Ever” list. From cult classics to Gen-X essentials, we get into which films still make us laugh and which ones make us go “…really?” Plus, a little pre-holiday small talk about what we're watching, what we're avoiding, and what movies we're forcing on unsuspecting family members this weekend. Then we wrap things up with our Staff Picks before sending you all off to eat too much and argue with relatives. Our upcoming Atlanta Pizza & Gyro Holiday Hootenanny, happening Sunday, December 7th from 1–4 PM in Conyers.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we welcome our buddy George Clark from VHD for a full-blown, behind-the-curtain Skankfest recap — straight from the perspective of a volunteer gofer who saw everything (maybe more than he ever wanted). George breaks down what Skankfest really is, what it's like to run around for three days for the most unhinged comics in America, and the embarrassing, drunken encounter he had with Kim Congdon and Luis J. Gomez.He even got to hang with Doug Stanhope, so you know there are stories. We talk favorite sets, surprise moments, the best and worst shows, and basically every comic who melted the walls in Vegas this year — Big Jay Oakerson, Shane Gillis, Mark Normand, Ms. Pat, Ari Shaffir, Tim Dillon, Jessica Kirson, Robert Kelly, Pauly Shore, Eddie Pepitone, Uncle Lazer, and a ridiculous amount more. Then we slide into our Thanksgiving chatter — including Jeff's fancy-bologna sandwich plans, turkey talk, holiday traditions, and the relatable chaos of preparing for the big day.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we're diving into the blood-spattered fun of the new Shudder/AMC reality horror series Guts & Glory! We're joined by comedian, game show host, and producer FRANK NICOTERO—who also happens to be cousin to the legendary Greg Nicotero—and friend-of-the-show JOSH WARREN, who competed on the series. Frank and Josh break down what it was really like behind the scenes: the challenges, the chaos, the laughs, and the Nicotero-family madness that went into making one of the wildest reality shows of the year. We talk horror, practical effects, game show energy, and how Guts & Glory blends all of it into something fans have NEVER seen before.

This week, the gang dives headfirst into the weird, wild world of AI video creation — from Sora 2 and Grok to the strange new internet characters they're spawning. Tim shares how he's been using Sora to make surreal videos for Gilbert (and inventing a whole alternate-dimension being named Gob-Loaf along the way), while Dustin and Lizzie trade their own AI stories and Jeff admits he's just waiting until they let you make porn. We also tackle the viral Food Stamp “Toast Lady” video that fooled half of TikTok (spoiler: she's not real — just another AI fever dream). In Views or Snooze, the crew previews the week's big streaming drops: * Death by Lightning (Netflix) — Michael Shannon brings President Garfield back from the dead (metaphorically). * Frankenstein (Netflix) — Guillermo del Toro's gothic vision finally arrives… a week late for Halloween. * Pluribus (Apple TV+) — Vince Gilligan returns with Rhea Seehorn in a mysterious new drama. * Plus: Jeff's culinary Staff Pick — the Whataburger patty melt with a blackberry Dr Pepper milkshake — and Tim's Text Impressions, featuring Sam Elliott reflecting on life with Billy Bob Thornton as his son.

Casper joins us to talk about his new segment “Fun Size” in V/H/S Halloween, his approach to mixing humor and horror, and why the genre's weirder side is often the most honest. We also dig into his creative process, and the unexpected path that led him from surreal late-night sketch chaos to horror anthology fame. Then, the gang breaks down Welcome to Derry Episode 1, the It prequel series that dives into Pennywise's first cycle of terror in the 1960s.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we welcome the one and only Rhonda Shear, the legendary host of USA's Up All Night, the cult-classic late-night show that defined ‘90s cable TV. From campy B-movies and offbeat sketches to her unforgettable chemistry with Gilbert Gottfried, Rhonda became a pop culture icon—and now she's back and better than ever! Rhonda joins us to talk about her brand-new series “Up All Night with Rhonda Shear” premiering on the Kings of Horror YouTube Channel, and what fans can expect from this next chapter. We dive into her Hollywood career, her time on shows like Happy Days, Full House, and Married... with Children, her cult film roles in Spaceballs and her evolution into a powerhouse entrepreneur with Rhonda Shear Intimates and the award-winning Ahh Bra. From B-movies to bras, Rhonda has done it all—and she's here to share the laughs, the stories, and a sneak peek at what's next for the queen of camp herself.

This week's episode takes a sharp turn into the shadows as we welcome back actor Josh Warren, who joins us fresh off his appearance in Shudder's new reality competition series “Guts and Glory,” produced by none other than Greg Nicotero of The Walking Dead fame. Josh shares what it's like to be on the blood-soaked set (at least as much as his NDA allows), and gives us a peek behind the curtain of this wild new horror challenge. Then, we go full slasher mode as the gang dives headfirst into every Halloween movie in the Michael Myers franchise — all 13 of them. From Carpenter's classic to Rob Zombie's gritty remakes to the recent Blumhouse trilogy, we rank, debate, and resurrect decades of Haddonfield mayhem. It's a killer combo of horror nostalgia, behind-the-scenes talk, and pop-culture carnage that only Radio Labyrinth could deliver.

This week on Radio Labyrinth Tim is out sick, but the rest of the gang dives headfirst into the latest failed prophecy: The Rapture That Wasn't. Apparently, September 23, 2025, was supposed to be the big day. People were selling cars, homes, and cashing out like Blockbuster stock in 2010. But—spoiler alert—we're all still here. So why do people keep falling for these very specific “end of the world on Tuesday at 4pm” prophecies? We break down the history of doomsday predictions, from Harold Camping's 2011 miss to the Millerites' “Great Disappointment” of 1844, to Heaven's Gate and Hale-Bopp, to secular versions like Y2K and the 2012 Mayan calendar scare. It's always the same pattern: finite, dramatic, and always a letdown.

This week on Radio Labyrinth Podcast we're joined by two very special guests: Ronnie Neeley, host of the Dancing is Forbidden podcast, and Matt Maiellaro, co-creator of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and co-host of MeatKingdom. We talk about Aqua Teen, MeatKingdom, Ronnie's work chronicling the ATHF universe, and their brand-new animated project in the works. As you'd expect, the line between “serious” and “not-so-serious” gets blurry—but that's half the fun.

This week on Radio Labyrinth Podcast, we welcome Dan Pasternack — producer, historian, and lifelong comedy fan — for a wide-ranging conversation about his career and some incredible projects he's bringing to audiences in 2025. Dan is currently on the road with the Airplane! Live Tour, celebrating the legendary parody classic with screenings and stories. He's also behind the John Candy: I Like Me documentary with Ryan Reynolds, which is hitting the road for special events, and later this year he'll be touring Stand By Me with the surviving cast to mark its enduring legacy. Beyond his producing work, Dan is a serious comedy collector with over 500 autographed comedy albums in his archive — a passion we dive into along with plenty of behind-the-scenes tales from his unique career.

This week on Radio Labyrinth Podcast, we welcome actor John Kapelos — a true legend of film and television. You know him as Carl the Janitor in The Breakfast Club, Dino in Weird Science, and Rudy in Sixteen Candles. Beyond his John Hughes classics, John takes us back to his early days at Second City Chicago, his hilarious work on SCTV, and of course his unforgettable turn on Seinfeld as Barry the Sniffing Accountant. We also hear the story of how he accidentally insulted Emilio Estevez to his face on the set of The Breakfast Club, plus plenty more behind-the-scenes stories from his career spanning movies, TV, and comedy stages.

This week in the Labyrinth we're joined by an incredible guest — and a family connection! Guitarist Browan Lollar from St. Paul and The Broken Bones drops by to talk about their upcoming self-titled album (out October 10th). Browan is also the younger brother of our own Dustin Lollar, so we get some fun family stories along the way. Plus, Tim and Browan dive into some Frank Zappa talk, influences, and what it's like balancing band life with side projects (including Browan's surf rock outfit Tsar Bomba). If you're a fan of Southern soul, psychedelic grooves, and stories from the road — this one's for you. Watch the show on YouTube: https://youtu.be/htimVveCrjk

We're joined by Dungeon Crawler Carl creator Matt Dinniman and legendary audiobook narrator Jeff Hays! From self-publishing to bestsellers, TV adaptations, Dragon Con, and the voices behind Carl & Donut—this is the definitive DCC interview.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we're celebrating a little recognition—we made the list! That's right, we're officially #57 on Million Podcast's list of the 100 Best TV Show Podcasts! Big thanks to everyone who listens, watches, shares, and supports the show. We're also digging into the endgame for The Boys as filming wraps for the final season. What does that mean for the future of Vought, Butcher, and the Supes? We break down where things left off for both The Boys and Gen V — including Butcher's virus, Starlight on the run, and Homelander embracing full dictator mode. PLUS:

We're back in the Labyrinth this week and kicking things off with Season 14 of King of the Hill! The gang dives into the revival's first episodes — the callbacks, the cameos, the feels — and whether the Netflix run still has that old network sitcom soul. Plus, we ask the big question: if you could update any classic show with the characters aged up, what would you pick? We've got ideas for The Sopranos, Married… with Children, The Larry Sanders Show, Freaks and Geeks, and more. In this episode, we also remember and dedicate the show to our dear friend and longtime listener Jeff Lisle — a kind, funny, and truly great man who will be missed dearly. Our thoughts are with his family.
