Halloween, Fore! - The Return of Gene and Brodie

The traditional Shakeytown Halloween is back after more than a decade, though this year, we are more concerned with the horror that is the presidential election. On this episode, we prefer Puerto Rico over Tony Hinchcliffe, we trash everyone else at that rally, we show off pumpkins and sort out Trick or Treat plans, and examine many of the 149 weird things that have happened this week.

(not the) Anniversary Extravaganza

Why did Brodie think today was the 14th anniversary of the podcast? Who knows, who cares. But Gene saw BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE, both our hosts saw the Harris-Trump debate, and there is some trash to talk about the usual suspects, including Steven Miller, Steve Bannon, and JD Vance. Also some website news and miscellaneous chat. theme: "Shakeytown," I Heart Hiroshima

Trap, Apparently

While this episode does not star Hayley Mills and Hayley Mills, we do discuss a proposed buddy cop show with her and Lindsay Lohan (Gene and Brodie are the ones proposing it). This one is actually kind of all over the place, with an SNL draft submitted by Matthew Teardrop (Manhattan Murder Mystery), Olympics talk, a little horror discussion, talking Burbank as an industry town, a plug for Chris from the "Is It Any Good?" taste test YouTube series and trying to answer his question about an elusive Christ the Redeemer statue, lots of dead celebrity mentions, and more. It's a trap... that you'll want to fall into.

SNL All Star Draft

You think Caitlin Clark getting left off Team USA was controversial? Wait until you find out Gene George and Brodie Hubbard’s picks for their SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE All Star Team! 12-person team, 5-person starting lineup. Did anyone from the Doumanian Era even make a bench warmer spot? Who do you choose if you can only take one “Weekend Update” anchor? Find out who wins out between casts, either/or dilemmas, and even among the original Not Ready For Prime Time Players.

unprecedented.

assassination attempt on Trump, Biden dropping out of the race, Kamala Harris securing the candidacy, JD Vance being a Diet Mountain Dew dork, the WNBA All Star weekend, and BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE… these times are certainly not precedented theme: “Shakeytown,” I Heart Hiroshima

It Will Only Get Worse

Your favorite guns for hire, Gene George and Brodie Hubbard, talk about how they both now share a job status (as in… NONE). They also discuss John Corbett’s restaurant etiquette, whether or not comedians can “say anything anymore,” the surprising discourse on social media around MIAMI VICE, the butchering of the BRAZIL television edit, wartime in FULL METAL JACKET, knitting Micro into a man on THE PUNISHER, the box office performance of FURIOSA, more David Zaslav shenanigans, and climate change. March straight to the bottom with Shakeytown Radio.

The Last Independence Day

Gene George and Brodie Hubbard celebrate the final July 4th holiday in America, discuss some WNBA action, Brodie's experiences at the DAYS OF THE DEAD horror convention in Phoenix, Arizona, the recent Joe Biden and Donald Trump presidential debate, some monumental Supreme Court decisions, and of course, are you watching THE BEAR? Are you down with nonlinear narratives? Let's send democracy out with a bang.

Her Web Connects Us All

Gene George and Brodie Hubbard are back in the Shakeytown studios 10 years later making new episodes, and this one covers a lot of pop culture and politics, plus good ol' complaining and smack talking. A glimpse at MADAME WEB, SUSPIRIA (2018), POSSESSION, and LORDS OF SALEM, asking are gory movie fans bad people (and other reductive film criticism), issues in reality TV and ADR, having fun with bad and absurd movies, and then a detour into surprisingly enjoying sports, and then a 700 Club reference leads to a State of the Union. Also, when bad bosses die or get fired, and finally, we love Dr. Peter Weller (ROBOCOP, 1987).

Sorry for the Technical Difficulties

Ten years since the last episode? What happened? Gene and Brodie talk about that a little bit. Also... disavowing the previous episodes and their guests, who stayed in L.A. and who moved away to save their own life, ups and downs in both career and creative pursuits, why only horror show Scaredycast gets to open their mouths in thumbnails, the ways that podcasting, YouTube, & social media have changed in the last decade, and what's next for the boys (well, not boys, but middle-aged white cishet men - just the demographic we need to hear from in these trying times).
