Description Grab your flashlight and avoid the basement stairs because this week on Enjoy Stuff, Jay and Shua celebrate the glorious age of creature features! From giant worms and killer spiders to mischievous Gremlins and underground mutants, they revisit the movies that terrified and delighted an entire generation. Creature features, killer critters, giant worms, Gremlins, and underground monsters.  This week Jay and Shua celebrate the gloriously weird movies that made Saturday afternoons unforgettable! Plus, Jay says goodbye to Sci-Fi Saturdays, and much more on a brand new episode of Enjoy Stuff!   News "Dare to Be Stupid," a new Broadway musical inspired by Weird Al Yankovic, is officially in development with writers from Beetlejuice and Gutenberg! The Musical!   The Transformers: The Movie returns to theaters in restored 4K beginning September 17, 2026 for a special limited theatrical engagement.   Behind the Attraction Season 3 is on the way and will spotlight the history and creation of Disney Cruise Line.   Voice acting legend Tom Kane passed away at age 64 following complications from a stroke suffered in 2020. Jay shares a funny personal story and the guys reflect on Kane's incredible career. Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying Shua has been watching The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, the new comedy starring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe. The mockumentary-style series follows a disgraced former football star trying to rebuild his life while an overly enthusiastic filmmaker documents every ridiculous moment. Shua loved the absurd humor, awkward situations, and strong chemistry between the leads. Jay revisited The Birds and was reminded why it remains one of the greatest suspense films ever made. Beyond the iconic bird attacks, Jay discusses Hitchcock's masterful tension-building, unsettling atmosphere, and why the movie still feels effective decades later. After their Hitchcock episode a few weeks ago, it felt like the perfect time for a rewatch.     Sci-Fi Saturdays -  This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay spotlights his final Sci-Fi Saturdays column covering Tenet by Christopher Nolan. In the article, Jay explores how Nolan uses time inversion, reverse motion, and innovative editing techniques to create an entirely new cinematic language that challenges audiences while still delivering blockbuster spectacle.   Jay also reflects on the incredible run of Sci-Fi Saturdays itself: seven and a half years, 330 articles, and films spanning from 1950 through 2020. Beginning with Rocketship X-M and ending with Tenet, the series celebrated over seven decades of science fiction cinema while examining how the genre reflects humanity, technology, and society.    Jay also highlights his latest MCU Location Scout featuring Daredevil: Born Again and Punisher: One Last Kill. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. This week he's added some new locations from Daredevil: Born Again season 2. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.   Enjoy Creature Features!  This week the guys dive into the gloriously gooey world of creature features. Those monster-filled movies that combined horror, comedy, suspense, and pure popcorn fun into the ultimate Saturday afternoon viewing experience. From alien furballs and killer fish to giant worms and demonic little creatures, Jay and Shua revisit the films that introduced many young viewers to horror without completely traumatizing them…well, mostly.   Along the way they discuss why the 1980s and early 1990s became the golden age for lighter horror movies, the importance of practical creature effects, and why these films still remain endlessly rewatchable today. Whether it's giant spiders, Gremlins causing chaos, or mysterious monsters lurking underground, the episode celebrates the fun side of fear and the unforgettable creature classics that still make audiences smile, scream, and laugh all at once.   Which creature are you afraid of? Do you like B-movies? Let us know! First person that emails me with the subject line, "Unpack your adjectives" will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know.

There are certain questions humanity may never answer.Are aliens real?What happens after death?And most importantly… are any of us actually cool?This episode of The Rizzuto Show starts with a seemingly harmless discussion about “coolness” and immediately devolves into absolute nonsense in the best possible way. The gang debates whether being cool is confidence, mystery, talent, or just owning sunglasses indoors without looking ridiculous. Somehow Samuel L. Jackson ends up crowned America's coolest celebrity while Ryan Reynolds takes multiple unnecessary strays for allegedly becoming the human version of expensive scented soap.Things only get weirder from there.The crew dives headfirst into one of the most unexpectedly nostalgic conversations ever: iconic 80s and 90s album covers. We're talking Appetite for Destruction, Dookie, Korn, Pearl Jam, Thriller, Rage Against the Machine, Aerosmith, Poison, Nirvana, and a bunch of records that permanently altered teenage bedrooms across America. If you ever spent hours staring at CD booklet artwork pretending you understood symbolism, this episode is basically therapy.There's also:Weird Al getting a Broadway musicalAqua breaking up after nearly 30 yearsDr. Hook appreciation from out of nowhereMusic festival streaming announcementsCountry chart dominationCelebrity deaths and tributesA discussion about hiding weapons around your house that somehow became weirdly wholesomeLove on the Spectrum entering the country music worldAnd the triumphant return of Match Up With The MoronsThis comedy podcast somehow manages to mix pop culture commentary, music nostalgia, celebrity gossip, random chaos, and complete derailments into one giant beautifully broken radio sandwich. It's the kind of comedy podcast that reminds you why morning radio still matters: because nowhere else will you hear heartfelt appreciation for Pearl Jam immediately followed by someone talking about bolt cutters and baby deer.Whether you're here for the funny stories, the music talk, the celebrity nonsense, or just because your coworkers are unbearable and you need a break, this comedy podcast delivers the exact level of chaos your brain probably deserves.The Rizzuto Show continues proving daily that professionalism is technically optional.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You know you've made it in the music industry when "Weird Al" Yankovic requests to parody your song. "Weird Al" has spent more than four decades turning hit songs into time capsules that often outlive the originals. In a career that includes Grammy Awards, Platinum records, best-selling tours and the number one album decades. On this episode of the Really? no Really? Podcast, Jason and Peter sit down with Al and discuss his journey being a shy kid on the accordion to being the king of parody music. "Weird Al" has an extensive library of parodies that not only spans genres and decades, it's also a reflection on music history and culture ranging from Madonna to Michael Jackson to Nirvana to Coolio just to name a few. But not everyone has been on board for the "Weird Al" bump. Jimmy Page is a fan of Al's but wasn't crazy about a Led Zepplin polka. Al, Jason and Peter delve more into this. We'll also discuss how Al's career has taken some pretty wild and amazing turns from selling out venues like Carnegie Hall and Madison Square Garden to writing his own parody biopic and casting Daniel Radcliffe playing himself.

More extremely nice weather the rest of this week…maybe some showers & thunderstorms this weekend! Wednesday means it's time to get over the hump and get ready for a very busy Friday/Saturday/Sunday! In the news this morning, the latest on the hantavirus cruise ship, a mayor in California is a Chinese spy, RIP to Donald Gibb, more info on the tragic death of a man at the Denver airport, and the Canvas hack has come to an end. In sports, the Brewers won their fifth in a row last night by beating the Padres, a recap of last night's NBA & NHL Playoff action along with a look at tonight's match-ups, both Brandon Clarke & Jason Collins(NBA players) have died, and Daryl Morey is out in Philly as the 76ers GM. We talked about what's on TV today/tonight and Brian gave a glowing review to a movie he watched on Netflix yesterday(Alone). Plus, a musical about Weird Al is coming soon! An interesting look at two VERY different commencement speeches. One that mentions A.I. And another that pays off student loans. And speaking of A.I., is Brian softening his stance on A.I.? Also…this might be the next big threat when it comes to putting your entire life online. Elsewhere in sports, Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy is out of the hospital, the charges against the guy who killed the Goudreau brothers will stand, a Tiger Woods' prescription records will be turned over to prosecutors. We played an "Iconic Horror Movie-edition" of One Gotta Go Wednesday - Friday the 13th. A Nightmare on Elm St. Halloween. Texas Chainsaw Massacre. And check out this mom's rant about Car Ranch! And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a woman in Alabama who shot her husband to death because he was annoying her, a motorcycle that somehow ended up on a street pole, a woman who robbed a bank in California without any attempt to disguise her appearance, and an all-you-can-eat buffet in Spain that had to start charging people a "vomit fee".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, we're diving headfirst into Side 1 of Even Worse by "Weird Al" Yankovic—the album that reminded the world that Al wasn't just back… he was even better (ironically, of course). Released in 1988, this record helped relaunch his career and delivered some of his most iconic tracks.Joining me is the one and only Insane Ian, and we're going track by track through Side 1: from the larger-than-life opener “Fat,” to the chaos of “Stuck in a Closet with Vanna White,” the minimalist brilliance of “(This Song's Just) Six Words Long,” and beyond. We break down the parodies, the originals, the musical influences, and the little details that make this era of Al so special.Along the way, expect hot takes, deep cuts, and a whole lot of appreciation for the craftsmanship behind the comedy. Whether you've been spinning this album since ‘88 or you're discovering it for the first time, this is your backstage pass to one of the most important Weird Al records. Check out more from Insane Ian:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/insaneianBandcamp: https://insaneian.bandcamp.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beer-d-al-podcast--5439475/support.

Episode 067: The 24-hour news cycle is spinning faster than a scratched 45, and this week on Six Picks Music Club, Geoff, Russ, and Dave are feeling the vertigo. We're putting down the remote and picking up the needle to discuss how the media is failing us—turning information into infotainment and reality into a ratings game. From the "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality to the era of alternative facts, the guys look for the truth hidden between the headlines. The playlist is a front-page spread of sonic skepticism, kicking off with the legendary Gil Scott-Heron reminding us that the real movement happens in the streets, not on the screen. Hüsker Dü provides the frantic energy of a world obsessed with the broadcast, while Public Enemy delivers a scathing "letter" to the tabloids and Bad Religion offers battle-weary reflections from the front lines. Between the cynical satire of Gorillaz and the surreal parody of "Weird Al" Yankovic, it's an episode for the skeptics, the truth-seekers, and anyone who's ever wanted to throw their television out the window—just make sure you keep your speakers on.     Apple Podcasts Instagram Spotify Playlist Official Site

Len Testa and Jim Hill sprint through a packed week of Disney and Universal news, from Rock 'n' Roller Coaster's Muppets makeover to the return of Walt Disney World's deluxe dining plan. Along the way, they dig into Universal's new day-of Express offering, answer listener questions about everything from BioReconstruct to Main Street nostalgia, and somehow still find room for pistachio-based trauma. In the main segment, Jim continues the fascinating story of Disney's ambitious "Live the Dream" concept for Disneyland's second gate, including the idea of building hotels directly on top of attractions. NEWS • Disney has officially brought back the deluxe dining plan for 2027, adding a higher-end option as the company looks for new ways to fill table-service restaurants. • Rock 'n' Roller Coaster reopens on May 26, 2026, with the Electric Mayhem taking over the ride and a set list that mixes classic rock with a few curveballs. • Celebrity cameos for the reimagined coaster include Awkwafina, John Stamos, Neil Patrick Harris, Wayne Brady, Travis Barker, Yvette Nicole Brown, Danny Trejo, Darren Criss, and Weird Al Yankovic. • A rumor out of Adventureland suggests that completing A Pirate's Adventure may once again unlock a Lightning Lane for Pirates of the Caribbean. • Universal Orlando has launched Universal Express Now, a smartphone-based, day-of skip-the-line option that sounds a bit like Lightning Lane's less patient cousin. FEATURE • Jim continues the history of Disneyland's "Live the Dream" project, a bold expansion concept tied to the resort's long-discussed second park. • This chapter explores Disney's growing realization that hotels were a license to print money, especially after the company began operating its own resorts. • The episode also connects that thinking to Anaheim's old "Disney cone" zoning rules, which helped protect Disneyland's sightlines from looming high-rises. • Most intriguingly, Jim tees up the wildest part of the story: a version of Disneyland's future where hotels would have been built directly above attractions.
