Spark of Madness
by Ben, Aaron, Matt
Spark of Madness is the brainchild of Matt Kroeger, Ben Phillippe, and Aaron Gallimore. In March of 2017, we decided to do a podcast about the new Power Rangers movie. We enjoyed it so much, we have been doing weekly live shows ever since. Each week, we stream live conversations about past and present films, the latest seasons of major television shows, or absolutely terrible movies we want to laugh about. But we don't just stop there: we also have an interest in creating content ourselves, so we periodically produce original shorts and skits to the channel as well.

About this show
Spark of Madness is the brainchild of Matt Kroeger, Ben Phillippe, and Aaron Gallimore. In March of 2017, we decided to do a podcast about the new Power Rangers movie. We enjoyed it so much, we have been doing weekly live shows ever since. Each week, we stream live conversations about past and present films, the latest seasons of major television shows, or absolutely terrible movies we want to laugh about. But we don't just stop there: we also have an interest in creating content ourselves, so we periodically produce original shorts and skits to the channel as well.
