For possibly the first time since NGE, we covered a show that ended with a movie that we actually liked. Adult Swim's most celebrated(?) series, The Venture Bros. had a long and strange history and is a difficult to describe pastiche of 60s adventure cartoons and comic books, but remained funny throughout. This episode could just be a list of character names.

Pee-wee's Playhouse
We're off to Puppetland as we try to explain the phenomenon that was Pee-wee Herman, one of the most inexplicable great comedy personas in history. Would you move into a house where every object is alive? Can we do any of the various Pee-wee voices? And can Ian make it through the podcast without saying the Word of the Day?

Tales From the Crypt
Good evening, ladies and ghouls, it's spooky season so we are taking a look at the classic HBO anthology series Tales From the Crypt. We debate many important questions, like "Should the Cryptkeeper be canceled?" and "Why is the last episode of this an animated twist on the Three Little Pigs?"

Stephen debuts a new character as we discuss Jason Momoa's post-apocalyptic fantasy series about a world where almost everybody is blind. This somehow existed for three seasons but you have probably never heard of it! Baba Voss
