Podcasting Day: Congo with Lydia Bugg 🌭

You’ve had today marked on your calendar, but you never knew why. Circled in red, a crude eye in the margins, as though drawn by primate fingers. “Herkermer?” You wrote, certain you were having a stroke. But no, you just knew deep down that today…

Is Congo Day!

Lydia Bugg joins us to discuss the best ape adventure ever produced, though perhaps “discuss” is the wrong word, since most of this podcast is wild hooting. “Produced” doesn’t feel right, it feels more like they got the cast drunk in the jungle for two uneventuful weeks, and then, on the 15th day, ambushed them in ape costumes. Oh man, “adventure” is certainly the wrong word, but there’s no right one since an ape does a flip into lava to avoid a laser in this movie – all words are failures in the face of that majesty. 

Come, experience Congo with us. Learn why all apes instinctively fear Laura Linney.

In celebration of Congo Day, our new community holiday, we’re bringing back LAVA APES OF THE LOST CITY – the piece of Congo merch we had designed for no reason, many months before doing actual Congo content. 

Be like Laura Linney and burn the ape of complacency by subscribing to our podcast, and then be like the ape, and do a sick flip into lava. You, of course, understand that the sick flip is your endorsement, and the lava is the internet. You’re leaving us a review. You get that. It was dumb to explain it.

Podcasting Day: Twinkle Ninja Fantasy with Dirk Marshall 🌭

If you’re discussing the impact madmen have had on pop culture, you eventually need to bring up Godfrey Ho, which is what we did on this episode of the Dogg Zzone 9000. To try to make sense of Godrey (sometimes known as Bruce, sometimes Tony, sometimes Rogar, sometimes Felix) and his 155 ninja films childishly pasted together from the corpses of 593 non-ninja films, we talked to leading Godfrey Ho expert and host of the VH-US Podcast, Dirk Marshall. As the owner of most of them, we put Dirk in charge of choosing the movie: Twinkle Ninja Fantasy. It’s a fish-exploding ninja drug smuggler film, probably. We are the first people to ever try to understand it, and we don’t! Fucking, at all!

Listen here! Or wherever you get your podcasts!

Patrons can also listen to a bonus podcast where Dirk and Sean’s daughters fight a proxy war in a Seanbaby’s Book Game that goes off the rails immediately. Like us and Review, you bastards!

Podcasting Day: Think Big with Hana Michels 🌭

Welcome to Podcasting Day. It’s time to play our final Barbarian Game, this time with the 1989 trucker movie, Think Big! 

If you’re just joining us, this is where Brockway watches a movie starring the Barbarian Brothers (identical twins whose claim to fame was being huge and similar) and tasks Seanbaby and a guest with recreating it blind. We could think of no better barbarian to play us home than Hana Michels, who brings benevolent chaos wherever she goes. She spent this entire podcast fighting a feral cat!

That’s not a joke! 

That’s real!

You will definitely hear it happen!

That’s the kind of extra credit chaos our final Barbarian Game deserves. God bless you, Hana Michels. Repay her sacrifices by buying her cat ass jewelry.

That’s also real!

Holy shit.

Podcasting Day: Traxx, Part 2 – The Murder of Traxx… with Jason Pargin! 🌭

Here are the faxx: we’re still talking about Traxx. It’s Part 2 of Brockway’s investigation into the screenwriter of this forgotten movie abandoned by the broken timeline that spawned it (you can find Part 1 here). Best-selling author and Top Jason, Jason Pargin, joins us again to hear the harrowing tale of murder, intrigue, and shattered realities. Speaking of interdimensional mysteries, buy Jason’s new book, If This Book Exists, You’re in the Wrong Universe.

The finale of this story is strange! Otherworldly! Listen here! Or wherever you get podcasts!

Podcasting Day: Traxx, Part 1 🌭

Welcome to a very special Podcasting Day. We’re talking to author and professional literary genius Jason Pargin, whose new book, If This Book Exists, You’re in the Wrong Universe, does exist, and this is the wrong universe. You can buy it up there – you missed it, go back! 

And we’re talking about Traxx – it’s finally Traxx day! Beloved Traxx, perfect Traxx, the 1988 Shadoe Stevens action comedy parody movie intended for… escaped lunatics? Dying bakers? Stand-up vigilantes? It’s unclear. The movie is an amazing puzzle of filmmaking, but with no possible answer. It’s the story of a cookie-baking murderer who wants to give up murder for cookies, but is bad at cookies and good at murder, so he uses murder to fund the cookies. Only it’s an action movie. Starring a DJ. 

Listen: If you’re confused, don’t worry, you can’t find Traxx anywhere and you’ll never get any clarification on anything. We might be making the whole movie up! That seems firmly in character for us. 

We’ve spoken about Traxx briefly in an early podcast, but it just didn’t get the full focused attention it demands. That’s what we’re doing here. Only talking about Traxx. This is a lighthearted podcast about our favorite wacky movie and nothing else. No other things. 

Please murder us on Bakey, or bake us on Murding. You don’t read this part.

Podcasting Day: Steel Justice with Geoff Thew 🌭

The year was 1992, and it was a time of Robosaurus! The world wanted car-eating and fire-breathing and Robosaurus was both of those things!

Since Robosaurus is technically a mech, the Dogg Zzone 9000 invited anime expert and YouTuber Geoff Thew on to discuss Steel Justice, aka Robosaurus, the TV series they tried to make seconds after building Robosaurus. Listen here! Or wherever you get podcasts!

Since it was 1992, the TV pilot they made for Robosaurus was not about a mechanic who fought small town corruption with his traveling monster truck show. It was about a cyberpunk detective in a bazooka-ravaged dystopia who wants to die and uses grief magic to summon the spirit of his dead son’s toy. His son, like most people in the Robosaurus future, died of rocket launcher crime. Let’s see if we have a clip:

I’m making it sound like it all happens fast. No. Robosaurus only makes what you could call a “cameo” after a full, feature length movie to kill several ordinary people in a parking lot. But the arrival of Robosaurus is worth every hour of grim voiceover. When Robosaurus finally arrives after the runtime of what would have been at least three episodes of the proposed TV show, he rules so hard he gives the main character what you could call a “fucking screaming orgasm.” Let’s see if we have a clip:
