This week Sam Kusek (@slamkusek, formerly of BOOM! Studios) and Matt Levine (Currently of BOOM! Studios) join us to talk Power Rangers, which Brandon has pretty much zero current knowledge of so he makes a TON of bad jokes to overcompensate. Plus, we take a brief detour in the world of Oh Hello's Gil Faizon and George St. Geeglund. You schmucks thought this was a Power Rangers episode but first you have to listen to us talk about A PLAY, you STUPID IDIOTS! #Prahnked

This week comedian Alex Fossella (@afossella, Modern Day Philosophers, My Racist Toaster) joins us to talk about the bleak, hilarious and ultimately uplifting music of The Mountain Goats (aka John Darnielle). We talk about break up music, the times we've met John Darnielle and plot out a concept album about a depressed, alcoholic Toad called Alpha Mushroom Kingdom. It may very well be our finest work. Also: Alex is trapped at the bottom of a well!

The Mountain Goats' new album, Goths, is available May 19th on Merge Records wherever fine audio recordings are sold.

Beth's been busy lately, so this week Brandon is rolling solo to tell you about his current problematic fave, The Grateful Dead's legendary concert Cornell University's Barton Hall on 5/8/1977.

This week we're livin' in sin with a safety pin* with comedy power-couple Angel Castillo (@angelmcomedy) and Theresa Rose (@theresacomedy) to talk about open relationships. This one gets loud and rowdy rull quick, and, dare I say...wet 'n' wild...as we go over all the emotional pitfalls and positives of non-monogamy. Angel and Brandon make a TON of jokes and a few of them work!

Plus: This week we're into PaRappa The Rapper** and K-Pop! *cuz broke lol

**With the exception of Cheap Cheap Chicken. Fuck Cheap Cheap.

This week we're broadening our HORIZONS with a nearly two hour conversation with Kirk Damato (Buzzfeed, @Kirksays) about EPCOT Center. We discuss the best way to get drunk in World Showcase, the rides we miss most, and a bunch of other nerd shit about the nerd shit park. Also, revel in the fun story of how Beth and Brandon's engagement was nearly ruined by 90s pop star Tiffany (You may remember her from the mall).

In the not too distant future, this podcast A.D., Lisa Easley joins us for a Big McLargehuge discussion of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (aka MST3k [aka that weird puppet show my Mom doesn't understand]). We debate whether or not the host segments are worth watching*, how this show has affected our approaches to comedy, and throw around tons and tons and tons of references that Beth doesn't get! *They are** **Except maybe not as much on the Sci-Fi episodes*** ***Despite those being generally tighter episodes the show struggling with the slight serialization**** ****brainguy rulz ok

This episode is ostensibly about Tardigrades, but it goes delightfully off the rails very quickly and we do not apologize at all. Kelsey Goldberg (@KelseyFGold, member of the Straitjacket Society and co-owner of AK47 Presents) joins us to talk about these weird li'l dudes that can apparently live forever, as well as her new robot dinosaur(!). Plus: Kelsey and Beth make Brandon have a nervous breakdown LIVE ON AIR!

This week the uncannily astonishing and all-new X-fella Brett White (@BrettWhite, writer for CBR, fashion icon) joins us to talk about 90s-era X-Men comics. I'm not gonna lie, I know there were a TON of X-Manses but I had no idea there were THAT many X-Mans, and that so many of them enjoyed licking things off of people's faces. The 90s were weird, you guys, but they were especially wet and wild in the X-world! We also talk a ton of smack about Rob Liefeld, which isn't surprising if you've ever met Beth.

A-hoy, mateys! This week we're off on a special NAUTICAL ADVENTURE* on the 2017 JoCo Cruise! Andrew Hackard of Steve Jackson Games (@redpenofdoom) joins us to talk about his deep, deep love of Texas polka wizards Brave Combo, and Brandon keeps doing a Bob Dylan impression that is amusing to nobody but himself. We apologize for any sonic wackiness with this week's recording, our mic stands and pop-filters got seized by customs** so we had to make due with a minimal set-up, along with other noise from the ship's Cocaine Foyer***! Care to share your problematic fav with us? Shoot us an e-mail at [email protected] or hit us up on the Tweetiebox @intoitpod! *Where Beth breaks her phone and Brandon gets anxious when he's in the sun for more than like 20 minutes and that's being fuuuuucking generous **Left at home because they're heavy af and poppa's got a bad back ***Pron: Foy-yay

When there's somethin' strange

In your neighborhood

WHO YA' GONNA CALL? THOSE BUNHEADS!!! This week, Yehudi Mercado (creator of Hero Hotel and collector of pizza related hats) joins us to talk about Amy Sherman-Palladino's one and done follow-up to Gilmore Girls, Bunheads! Plus, we, and by we I mean Brandon, has a LOT to say about Pat McCrory. None of it is positive. Care to share your problematic fave with us? E-mail us at [email protected] or @intoitpod and let us know! Also don't forget to send @girladactyl your Beth and Diglett related semi-erotic fan art!
