    The fourth installment in the Final Destination franchise slapped an article at the top of the title, threw some 3-D special effects at the wall, and largely dismissed virtually every sensible aspect of quality filmmaking. It's rescued (barely) by some genuinely memorable death sequences in an otherwise aggressively skippable installment. But we did not skip it! Instead, we gathered friend of the show Paula Deming and new friend of the show "Professor" Meg Oak to chat about it -- neither of whom had ever seen a Final Destination film before.It was an uproariously grand time filled with laughter, head-scratching film notes, and an absurd amount of references to THAT scene in the film. In the midst of all the rampant frivolity, there are even a few moments of earnest and thoughtful reflection about the nature of death when it comes to questions of consequence for abhorrent behavior.Also featuring a brief stint with The Simpsons, Treehouse of Horror XIX, this is a hearty and vibrant episode that we really hope you enjoy!7:58 - Debriefing Gen Con with Paula Deming and Meg Oak13:46 - Business Time -- FOGOWEEN!Patron Only Segment: The Simpsons, Treehouse of Horror XIX18:27 - Two Questions with Meg Oak28:40 - THE FINAL DESTINATIONSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    How AI & Bot-Driven Outrage Are Hijacking Our Attention

    We're puppets. AI has its hand up our collective asses, and we're all just talking like Kermit the Frog while Russian bot farms tear society apart. Dramatic? Maybe. True? Unfortunately. In this episode we look into the increasingly unhinged intersection of AI, social media manipulation, and what's left of our shared reality. It's not all doom. There's some genuine good AI can do (like helping my kid with homework). But it's mostly doom. Here's what we covered: The Episode Breakdown Mental institutions are overrun with people suffering from AI-related disorders, some fell in love with chatbots, others can't function without AI assistance, others are spiraling into existential dread Bot farms are weaponizing brands in culture wars (see: Cracker Barrel's logo change), and most of that online outrage isn't from humans, it's from Russian troll operations Peter Thiel is out here telling Christians at private Silicon Valley rallies that stopping AI development will hasten the Antichrist (I wish I were making this up) You are the product not the customer, on every social media platform. The actual customers are advertisers buying your attention. The cost is your sanity. The cave tour guide principle: How darkness + suggestion = seeing threats that aren't there (based on Jason's actual cave tour guide days) Why everything feels existential: The internet profits from making every problem feel like a crisis. Your nervous system can't tell the difference between real threats and manufactured outrage. The influencer accountability problem: Anyone can build an empire on conspiracy theories now. There's no regulation. No licenses. Just vibes and reach. The only real escape: "Just don't look" (Simpsons-style). Not forever. Not completely. But enough to remember what reality feels like. ---- MORE FROM BROBOTS: Connect with us on Threads, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Tiktok Subscribe to BROBOTS on Youtube Join our community in the BROBOTS Facebook group ---- LINKS TO OUR PARTNERS: Take control of how you'd like to feel with Apollo Neuro Explore the many benefits of cold therapy for your body with Nurecover Muse's Brain Sensing Headbands Improve Your Meditation Practice.

    Enjoy Stuff sinks its teeth into horror comedies this week as Jay and Shua look back at Once Bitten and Transylvania 6-5000, both celebrating 40 years. From misunderstood monsters to awkward vampires, these films prove that sometimes the best way to survive the night is to laugh at it. Pull up your coffin, grab a stake (or at least a waffle), and join us as we talk monsters, misfits, and midnight movie madness. News A new Simpsons movie is coming in 2027. Eggo has teamed up with Stranger Things for a limited-edition waffle giveaway    Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Shua dove into the new book in the Old Man's War series called The Shattering Peace by John Scalzi. It's a good continuation of a saga that Scalzi has been working on for years. Jay picked up replicas of Action Comics #1, Superman #1, and Batman #1 which are truly  golden treasures of comic book history. And they even have the cool ads in them.      Sci-Fi Saturdays -  Sci-Fi Saturdays is currently on hiatus. But Jay continues his 31 Days of Horror at RetroZap.com, a month-long celebration of scary cinema that will keep you up all night! Here's a list of this week's lineup: Mon: Children of the Corn (1984)  Tue: Dead of Night (1946)  Wed: Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat (1991)  Thu: The Premature Burial (1962)  Fri: Urban Legend (1998) Sat: Pandorum (2009) Sun: Near Dark (1987)    Enjoy Funny Vampires!  This week we're celebrating the 40th anniversaries of two horror comedies: Transylvania 6-5000 and Once Bitten.   Transylvania 6-5000 (1985) puts Jeff Goldblum and Ed Begley Jr. in the middle of a monster mash that plays like an Abbott & Costello routine with Geena Davis, Michael Richards, Carol Kane, and more. We appreciate its goofy charm and almost hysterical jokes.    Once Bitten (1985) gave Jim Carrey an early lead role as a teenager targeted by a 400-year-old vampire (Lauren Hutton) who needs his blood to stay young. With Karen Koppins as the girlfriend and a Halloween dance number that steals the show, this comedy is pure ‘80s fun. (even though some of it hasn't aged well.    We also sink our teeth into other horror parodies of the decade, including Student Bodies (1981), Saturday the 14th (1981), Wacko (1982), Pandemonium (1982), and National Lampoon's Class Reunion (1982).

    The day has finally come. The final season (for now) of Solar Opposites is now on Hulu. When the show started in 2020, I was instantly hooked and have been a Solar ever since. The show is the best Hulu original and will live on. This very special episode is jam-packed with Solar Opposites energy. Chach and Adam join me to talk about the show, the final season, and The Duke's biggest secret at length. I also share my recent interviews with Sean Giambrone, Mary Mack, Josh Bycel, and Mike "The Big Hog" McMahan to talk about the series as a whole. This is a big one, so get your novelty motto t-shirt on and get ready to hear the word mount A LOT. The Solar Opposites final season perfectly encapsulates why this show was a perfect blend of comedy, family, and sci-fi hijinks. It's a worthy send-off for one of the best adult animated shows since The Simpsons. There are episodes that will bring you to tears with their touching moments surrounding the family and what it means to be a finale. The Wall saga comes to a shocking finale that will leave you with your mouth wide open for bugs to crawl in and stuff. Synopsis: Once their alien diamond-making machine gets destroyed, the Solar Opposites must face their greatest challenge yet: living their expensive lives on a budget!

    Fan Mail Me BrrrruuuuunnndenBad-day energy hit like a freight train, and we decided to ride it—full throttle, zero filter, and just enough humor to keep the wheels on. We start before sunrise with the Apple Harvest fritter mission, a line that refuses to move, and the kind of small-town chaos that turns into family lore. From there we plunge into the noisy churn of social feeds, a headline spiral that somehow says a lot while telling us nothing, and the creeping feeling that scrolling offers connection without the comfort of being known.We get honest about the middle-age shift—less patience, more pattern recognition, and the urge to bail on conversations that don't go anywhere. Is it cynicism, or just wisdom with sore feet? We debate whether scrolling equals loneliness, how broken processes at work drain our empathy, and why the simplest systems—paperwork done right, lines that move fairly—can keep whole communities sane. There's real texture here: the smell of fritters before dawn, the stress of a warehouse with no documentation, and a kid turning pastries into pocket money. It's local and human in all the ways the internet can't fake.We even poke at the “prophecy” angle—The Simpsons, Back to the Future, E.T.—and ask whether pop culture predicts the future or just mirrors our anxieties so precisely that it feels like foresight. Either way, we land on the same truth: stories shape how we see the world. If our feeds train us to expect outrage, we'll find it everywhere. So we practice a different habit—trade spectacle for substance, swap doomscrolling for a call or a walk, and keep one eye out for the little rituals that make life feel real again.If this hit home, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a laugh, and leave a review with your take: does scrolling make you feel connected or alone?

    Real Life Ben's decided that fall is… fine. Just okay. Leaves fall, pumpkin spice happens, and he moves on. His energy's better spent testing out new hands-free necklace cameras—a totally normal sentence—and keeping Orion fed and happy. Meanwhile, Steven dove headfirst into Shadow of the Demon Lord, playing Velmar the Archivist, a character with a flair for ancient lore and possibly poor life decisions. Five hours later, the table survived, the dice were appeased, and Steven was still buzzing from the chaos. Devon, fresh from his cruise survival, gave us tales of ice skating, laser tag, and kid karaoke—the real high seas adventure. The boat did, however, dock somewhere that was apparently not Devon-approved. We didn't ask for details. Some horrors are best left off-mic. Ben's also been deep-diving into retro TV, revisiting Police Squad! after catching the fourth Naked Gun movie. Add in Marvel Zombies—a wild, tragic, and completely zany series that gave him Batman Ninja flashbacks—and you've got Ben's viewing habits perfectly summarized: somewhere between slapstick and existential decay. Marvel Zombies on IMDb Review on The Playlist Steven's been championing Peacemaker, wrapping up season 1 and binging through the first seven episodes of season 2. He gives it a full-hearted recommendation—especially if you enjoy Superman references, alternate realities, and 80s glam metal in your superhero chaos. Devon, ever the connoisseur, dropped a bombshell: there's a new Simpsons movie coming, and it might even be replacing a Marvel release slot. He's cautiously thrilled. On the flip side, Alien: Earth got a collective “eh” from the group—though we all agreed its many storylines and editing quirks made for an interesting dissection. Future or Now We didn't make it here this week. Too many good tangents. Book Club This week's read was “They're Made Out of Meat” by Terry Bisson—short, weird, and surprisingly heartfelt.

    In this episode of Bandwagon Nerds, the Nerds return to discuss the penultimate Episode of Peacemaker Season 2. This was a relatively short Episode, but boy howdy, did it pack all sorts of action, humor, shocks, and emotion into the little time they had. At the end of the day, Chris seems like a broken man, setting the stage for what should be an amazing and wild season finale. An extended trip to the Trailer Park explores the question of Who Killed the Montreal Expos? But we also explore another zombie apocalypse movie (We Bury the Dead), the almost guaranteed-to-be-controversial The Carpenter's Son, and an upcoming documentary about the one and only, Martin Scorsese. The Simpsons 2 is coming, but even the hardcore fans seem less than enthused. Speaking of being less than enthused, Microsoft alienated many Xbox owners by increasing the price of Game Pass Ultimate. On the other hand, EA stockholders must be thrilled as the company was sold for a staggering $55 billion!

    Jamie Kennedy's return to Undressed is like a double shot of espresso—smooth, bold, and a little wild. In this second part of our 100th episode, Jamie opens up about love, money, and the kind of bag that can make a grown man tear up. He paints a cinematic picture of gifting his “Audrey Hepburn” of a girlfriend a $4,000 Louis Vuitton from the Beverly Center—the shriek, the joy, the protective hook for the bag in her car—and then confesses he's eyeing a Birkin next (“thirty grand, chumps!”). It's the kind of moment that makes you laugh while tugging at your heart, especially as he reveals she didn't grow up with nice things and now cherishes every detail. From there, the convo swings from the surreal (Jamie's jaw dropping at a military parade featuring Kim Jong-un, Xi Jinping, and Putin) to the hilarious (banter about whether “the gays” would make jail “pretty” and Martha Stewart's jail doilies) to pure Hollywood gossip—like the shocker that Sabrina Carpenter's aunt is actually Bart Simpson (Nancy Cartwright!) and the low-key fortune Jennifer Tilly made off The Simpsons. But the real pulse of this episode beats in Jamie's vulnerability. He opens up about losing both parents, downsizing his life pre-COVID, Alyssa moving in, their pandemic ping-pong and naked sunbathing, and his current crossroads: rebuying his old Los Feliz home or starting fresh in Beverly Hills, Vegas, or even New Orleans. It's a midlife-meets-career confession that feels both raw and refreshingly unfiltered. Then comes the mystical twist. During his live coffee reading, a heart literally forms at the bottom of his cup—Pol' and Patrik see it too—and the energy in the studio shifts. The reading nudges Jamie toward love, partnership, and maybe even fatherhood (“Alyssa would be such a good mom”), as he wrestles with whether to finally “put a ring on it.” It's intimate, disarming, and strangely prophetic. Of course, the episode isn't all tears. Jamie dives headfirst into Runway Rundown, roasting and raving over Sophie Turner's sultry “I'm single” lace look, Chloe Sevigny's “Halloween Horror Nights” couture disaster, Austin Butler's 1975 porn-leather misstep, and even his own past fashion crimes (a black mesh headbanded ensemble he swears was for Kicking It Old School, but the hosts say screams “Motherlode at 3 a.m.”). The mix of self-deprecation and bold honesty is pure Jamie. By the end, you've laughed at Missy Elliott booting him out of a Phantom, gasped at the Seminole Hard Rock “death suite” he unknowingly slept in, and leaned forward as he weighs buying Raven-Symoné's Porsche. It's the ultimate Jamie Kennedy blend—Hollywood chaos, heartfelt confessions, and a coffee reading that feels like a cosmic mic drop. This is another Hurrdat Media Production.

The caption said, quote, "Whoever was [pooping] their pants at the HAIM concert please see yourself out."

    The Simpsons x Syndicated Satire

    Sometimes an episode is such a longtime coming that the enthusiasm from our hosts is palpable! Such is the case with this episode about The Simpsons, a TV show that pervaded Marcelle's childhood due in part to...you guessed it... syndication! In this episode, Marcelle reminds the audience how television worked before streaming and the nature of syndication. Together, she and Hannah think through the influence of The Simpsons' first 300 episodes between 1997 and 2003 (Marcelle's teen years). They explore the attractive quality of the sitcom as a genre, the reproducibility of Bart Simpson (and others) as an icon, and the show's criticism of and self-aware complicity in capitalism and consumerism. This episode is for The Simpsons NERDS and casual viewers alike. Happy listening.***To learn more about Material Girls, head to our Instagram at instagram.com/ohwitchplease! Or check out our website ohwitchplease.ca. We'll be back next week with a Material Concerns episode, but until then, go check out all the other content we have on our Patreon at Patreon.com/ohwitchplease! Patreon is how we produce the show and pay our team! Thanks again to all of you who have already made the leap to join us there!***Material Girls is a show that makes sense of the zeitgeist through materialist critique* and critical theory! Each episode looks at a unique object of study (something popular now or from back in the day) and over the course of three distinct segments, Hannah and Marcelle apply their academic expertise to the topic at hand.*Materialist Critique is, at its simplest possible level, a form of cultural critique – that is, scholarly engagement with a cultural text of some kind – that is interested in modes of production, moments of reception, and the historical and ideological contexts for both. Materialist critique is interested in the question of why a particular cultural work or practice emerged at a particular moment.
