Welcome to Podcasting Day! This week author and provocateur Jason Pargin has an all-new book… to plug! If This Book Exists, You’re in the Wrong Universe is the next entry in the John Dies at the End series. This is a huge day for longtime podcast fans looking forward to several more years of Jason plugging this book. Truly the beginning of a bold new era.
Today we’re talking about shows that seem to come from the wrong decade. Brockway brought Daybreak, a wildly out of touch with the teens zombie comedy that would’ve killed in the Joss Whedon knock-off dense early 2000s. Seanbaby brought Guardians of Justice, a show that would have definitely been tolerated in the late ‘90s, before we as a culture learned how to make good comic book shows. And Jason brought Jack Reacher, which is literally the 1970s The Incredible Hulk show except Hulk all the time. Wonder at the improbable size of Jack Reacher! Thrill as Jack Reacher is consistently huge! Marvel as men Jack Reacher could accidentally eat wildly attack him without provocation!
Anyway, that’s the podcast. Reacher us wherever you get podcasts, and Jack us wherever you leave reviews.
It’s Podcasting Day, and Zak Koonce from The Auralnauts is here once again to talk about our favorite expository theme songs. Those are theme songs from movies that are about the movies! I’m sorry I explained that to you in a non-song format. To make it up to you, here’s the movie Iron Eagle explained via song.
You can find the first part of this series here, and the second part here. You can also subscribe to our podcasts wherever your Iron Eagle heart soars, and please leave us an expository theme review!
Happy Podcasting Day! It’s the return of Brockway’s Barbarian Game, the only roleplaying game where all players are The Barbarian Brothers and all the NPCs are meat for The Barbarian Brothers. The first time around we played through The Barbarians – their meathead homage to Conan the Barbarian, but with more walrus than you’re picturing. This time we’re becoming the 1994 action/comedy, Twin Sitters. This was originally called The Baby Sitters, until some brilliant studio executive watched it and was like “what’s up with the eighteen different sets of twins in this movie?” It’s kind of a mix between Home Alone and Mr. Nanny, only with the intermittent hardboiled gun violence of Lethal Weapon. And all of that filtered through twins and wrestling. It is utterly deranged art. The best and only kind of art!
This week, Seanbaby will be playing Peter Falcone, an enormous conglomerate of flesh with flowing feathered hair dressed like a background character from The Warriors got problem drunk at Mardi Gras.
Our special guest, writer, director, Barbarian bon vivant William Sellari will be playing David Falcone, a rogue wave of errant flesh with flowing feathered hair dressed like a background character from Renegade got problem drunk at Mardi Gras.
And this week you seriously have to stick around for the free bonus podcast which is… uh… an hour and ten minutes long? What the hell happened here?! You’ll have to listen to find out, but fair warning: You definitely have to get through the main podcast first.
Don’t forget to give us a walrus noise of loyalty by subscribing to the podcast, and throw us a little horse noise of endorsement with a review here. Then gong your pecs together, just for you!

You cannot kill him, though I know merely saying that tempts you to try. We’re talking about the most rad film ever made, Rad!
