All good things must come to an end. And so do the not-so-good things. Jon and Ashley break down the last musical episode of Riverdale on this very emotional (not really, but kind of) episode.

Welcome to Theatre History, where your professors Jon and Marc talk about a specific moment in time - when the government tried to censor the Arts.

Jon somehow managed to trick Joe and Anthony from the Beards and Sundries podcast without Jay (it really didn't take that much convincing).

Roger Ebert wrote this movie - let that sink in for a second.

We conclude spooky season with the scariest movie of them all: a musical movie based on the song "Monster Mash" starring Candace Cameron, and yes she does "sing" in it. But at least there's a whole cast of fun actors in this off-the-wall bonkers movie.

Jon messed up again.

To kick off our Halloween-y episodes Jon is joined with fellow podcasters Steven and Mary to finish the Starkid Harry Potter trilogy almost a year after they started. They travel back to 2013 to a weird con (maybe?) where the cast performed a staged reading of this show that is all over the place. But, it does offer some closure to this chapter of Starkid.

Oof! Buckle up kids! Jon is not happy but doesn't try to rain too much on Lauren's parade. Even though the two agree that there are problems in this movie, the songs is where they disagree.

Jon twisted Chris's and Gary's arms (not really) to rewatch the amazing movie that is The Legend of the Stardust Brothers, and much like the movie this episode goes all over the place: from pop stars, to unfortunate news about some of the actors, to a reveal that no one would see coming if this was their first viewing.The Horror.
