Episodes

  1. In the Muppets of Madness

    We are joined by the Puppetmaster to discuss making Muppet versions of everything.

  2. Sparky gets canceled...again

    Sparky has a few ideas...some will make us cry and others will get him canceled. Aside from that we talk about musician biopics that need made or remade. Plus a teaser of a future episode.

  3. One Does Not Simply Try A New Podcasting Platform

    Wow, that title is the length of a Fall Out Boy song title. Listen as we fumble our way through using a new recording platform. Also, we talk about a Loony Toons LOTR, reviving Tales from the Crypt, and an Evil Dead prequel.

  4. Lost in [Redacted]

    Get ready for your next binge-worthy techno drama/comedy. Think Perfect Strangers meets Mr. Robot but set in [country redacted].

  5. Star Bores

    You tired of us talk about Star Wars? Well, we're clearly not tired of talking about it.

  6. More reasons Disney will never hire us

    It's been a while.... We're back in the groove, sort of. To distract from the interesting times we live in, we spitball some ideas that guarantee that Disney will never hire us.

  7. Oscars 2015-2019

    We finish up with our Oscar retrospective.

  8. Oscars 2010-2014

    Yes...we're still talking about the Oscars. We'll be back to the zany ideas soon.

  9. Oscars 2005-2009

    We continue to disagree with the Academy.

  10. Oscars - in the year 2000

    We continue our dive into the Oscars with the year 2000-2004.

  11. 90s Oscars pt2

    We finish off the 90s Oscars recap with 95-99

  12. 90s Oscars pt 1

    We look back at the big winners of the late 1900s.

  13. H3U goes to the Oscars (80s edition)

    In honor of Hollywood's biggest night, we take a look back at the Oscar's and see if we agree with the winners.

  14. Vampirella and other randomness

    We remind you all that a Vampirella movie exits (You're welcome!) Plus we run down a list of other random topics.

  15. Muppet Drag Show

    Did you know Kermit had a drag persona? He did! We think they should bring that back and give us a Muppet's Drag Show! Also, give us an actual Pigs in Space show!

  16. H3U Studios

    First, we discuss The Marvels and then we imagine a world where we have our own studio and unlimited money to throw at any and every idea we want. The ideas this time are other movies that could have a tv series adaptation. We'll leave the could/should debate up to you.

  17. The TV series that should not be

    Ever watch a movie and think "Wow! This should be a tv show?" Apparently, a lot of people in Hollywood have, but some of their choices and approaches didn't work out so well. We run through a list of short-lived TV adaptations of movies.

  18. Would you like to play a game?

    A drinking game that is. Get bottles and shot glasses handy (it can be alcohol, soda, water, tea, Kool-Aid...whatever) and get ready to play a little game with us. Drink responsibly.

  19. S.S.H3U

    Join us at sea for a bit more than a 3 hour tour (just close your eyes and sway back and forth) as we imagine having enough clout to put on a cruise.

  20. 2010s Film Festival

    We had so much fun with the other lists we figured we finish out with 2010-2019. Happy New Year!

  21. Last Voyage to fix Marvel

    Brocktor has finally watched The Last Voyage of the Demeter and Sparky has a plan to fix Marvel (is it broken?)

  22. H3U Film Festival

    By way of her chosen representative, Miss Scarlet weighs in with her pick of top 90s movies, and gets an advantage for the next round. In this episode we pick our top 70s, 80s, and 2000s movies. Which screening room are you going to camp out in for a few days?

  23. H3U 90s Film Festival

    We compile a list of our favorite 90s movies. Thanks to Pod Meets World for the inspiration (check their podcast out if you haven't already)

  24. Bring back TGIF

    We discuss some ideas for the X-men in the MCU and then Brocktor Jones pleads that someone bring back TGIF!

  25. Professor Chaos and the Underpants of Doom

    Professor Chaos (FKA Short Round) takes over part of the show by throwing his underpants around, while we try to stay on topic.

  26. Tween Movies

    We're back! Let's just call this the start of season three. Forgive the audio loss - software issues. In this episode we try to see if we can take an movie geared toward adults and change it enough to appeal to tweens (think Slumber Party = Hangover)

  27. Interrupting Bongos

    Welcome to the Nerd Attic (Nerd Loft? it's Brocktor's kitchen) where Short Round decided it was time for an impromptu bongo concert while we ask that Hollywood get it's stuff together, then hire us. We ain't no scabs.

  28. FF4 Mayhem

    We discuss some of the Fantastic Four casting rumors, and other assorted nonsense.

  29. Live from the Nerd Lounge

    Recording in the Nerd Lounge, Brocktor Jones and Sparky talk about some deleted scenes from horror movies before touching on the subject of the writer's strike. May the 4th be with the WGA.

  30. Scattered

    All your books are belong to TV - Did we meme correctly?

  31. Seriously, Hollwood....Hire Us

    Apologies for the delay. We revisit Brocktor Jones' idea of a WWE/WB Batman universe and update some casting choices. We also discuss movies that were under-marketed and some that were over-hyped.

  32. Back to Toon Town

    We come up with some brilliant ideas to expand the world of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

  33. Everything, Everwhere, and All Over the Place

    Short Round attempts to hijack the episode while we discuss the Oscars, a Beetlejuice 2 idea, and a new animated feature idea about Cryptids in the real world, doing everyday jobs.

  34. Animals on Drugs

    We discuss the instant cinema classic - Cocaine Bear! Also speculate on the various movies that will be inspired by the absurd fun of Cocaine Bear. The second half of the show is all about Quantumania! MVP = M.O.D.OK.

  35. No Homework

    We were not prepared at all today so we were basically free ballin'! We talk about Wakanda Forever, The Flash trailer and those two exciting words, plus a pitch for Expendables 5. Also, Short Round hijacks the podcast!

  36. Hey Universal, Hire Us

    First we discuss what we classify as "perfect films" and then we digress into Brocktor Jones's idea for a Universal connected horror universe.

  37. Looney Lit or Miserable Melodies (aka Bugs in Drag)

    Did you think we were done messing with the cartoons of our childhood? You were wrong! Now we imagine classic and modern literature being adapted into animation starring some of our old friends from Acme Acres (this includes Tazmania, and the Original Looney ones). Here's a game: Take a drink...

  38. Mickey's Masterpiece Theater

    Alternate Title: Ruining Disney. Ruin might be a strong word. Remember Mickey's A Christmas Carol? Ever wonder what other classic pieces of literature could go for a Mickey Makeover? Wonder no more because we've got the answers on this episode. Warning: Our adaptations are faithful to the books…

  39. Are We Blacklisted Yet?

    If there is still a Hollywood Blacklist - we are sure to be on it. Today's "Hot Takes No Body Asked For" is brought to you by Teriyaki Madness.

  40. Comfort Food

    We discuss the "Comfort Food" media that wraps us in a warm blanket of nostalgia and distracts us from the horrors of the real world.

  41. Ramble On

    We pick up where we left off discussing Lobo and Birds of Prey, the Brocktor Jones outlines his idea for a Faith and Spike show called "Damaged Souls" as well as an interesting take on the Riddler.

  42. Burning that WB bridge

    The opening of this might be why WB will never hire us. We are highly critical of the decision to "focus on franchises" but that frustration does lead to some great ideas, particularly Brocktor Jones' newest Riddler idea.

  43. Marvel Catch Up

    Sparky has finally caught up on some Marvel titles: Werewolf by Night, She-Hulk, and Ms. Marvel. So we start this marathon session by discussing those three wonderful events.

  44. Marvel / DC Make-a-wish - ish?

    We use a post about "The Villain Wrangler" as the jumping off point for imagining more scenarios of villains visiting sick kids. Again...we need an animated version of this.

  45. Supe Halloween

    We're starting to be like Doctor Who - making you wait long periods between episodes. If anything we are consistently inconsistent. In this episode we discuss super hero (and villain) Halloween parties. What would each person wear? We take this novel idea to both DC and Marvel universes. Disney...

  46. Period Piece

    We continue talking about a Brendan Fraser resurgence with a new Mummy legacy sequel, then talk about all of the old radio and TV serials that need new adaptations - but kept in period! None of this modernization crap!

  47. Talkin' bout that big D....D23 that is!

    We discuss the D23 reveals, some more WB goings ons, and the triumphant return of Brendan Fraser.

  48. Trapped in the Water Tower

    After a mandatory recovery period following our Xanadu commentary, we are back with a lot of news - not much of it good. We discuss the disaster that WB is apparently becoming, hope that Hollywood is on the verge of a new beginning, and talk about some Kevin Smith stuff.

  49. Xanadu

    The first of our "Commentaries No One Asked For," in memory of the the late Dame Olivia-Newton John we watch Xanadu, with no sound and only close captioning. Be warned, neither of us have seen this movie before so we have no context for the craziness we witnessed on screen.

  50. Hey Hollywood, Bail Us Out!

    We plead with the Powers that Be in Tinsel Town to hire us and help us pay our bills. Also we discuss all things SDCC, Batgirl, and Eddie Munson.
