Almost a whomping 20 years later and this time, with many more hats on the rack. So what do you expect when an ol’ familiar face ends up running into an ol’ familar face? A mirror shot?

    Tired Masterminds Ep. 47 - The Brood (1979)

And that just the tip of the cronie berg.

    Tired Masterminds Ep. 42 - Phyllis Airs Out

    In the season finale, we decided the only way to move forward is to give her keys back. It could of ended in a fight (not the face) but This is what you all have yearned and craved for. A conclusion that could only be written into a Murphy Brown. Phyllis is Back and has something to say!

  50. 51

    Tired Masterminds Ep. 41 - Saw (2004)

    In the season finale, Adam & Liam detect one puzzle isn’t enough for Tyrone. Twisting nine pictures into 1/2 of an episode, he proves he indeed “Knows what it is”. As a local celebrity, he can go wherever (and whenever) he wants. Adam becomes very fucking confused whilst Liam wonders if he has any reason to wake up in the morning. No prospects. Nothing on the horizon. It all seems to Spiral, leaving only one way out of this trap.
