  • Year of the Weasel Episode 9: Pauly (1997)

    We can’t exactly say we’re surprised, but we’d held out hope for Pauly, the short-lived 1997 Fox sitcom that officially sank Pauly Shore’s career, to have at least some redeeming qualities. Spoiler alert: It doesn’t, but we still watched four of the five existing episodes so you don’t have to!

  • Year of the Weasel Episode 7: Jury Duty (1995)

    Jury Duty may not be great cinema–it’s basically 12 Angry Men with a closed head injury–but we’ve both seen much worse (cough, In the Army Now).

  • 12 Months of Mike Month 12: Shrek Forever After

    It might have taken us 14 months, but the long nightmare that was 12 Months of Mike is finally behind us–and, thanks to the final film in question (2010’s Shrek Forever After) it’s gone out with a whimper. Come hear why it took us two months to work up the enthusiasm for one last shrekquel……

  • 12 Months of Mike Month 11: The Love Guru

    The end of our year-long immersion in the filmography of Mike Myers is in sight; but hoo boy, is this final stretch a test of endurance. Our penultimate film is 2008’s The Love Guru: the movie that finally put Mike’s career out of its misery after The Cat in the Hat roughed it up and…

  • 12 Months of Mike Month 10: Shrek the Third

    It’s an experimental episode this time around, as we try to kill two birds with one stone by watching Shrek the Third at the same time as we record the podcast. The results are… not great, especially since Zach sounds like he’s recording from a really large open bathroom (don’t worry, he’s not). Still, rest…

  • 12 Months of Mike Month 9: Shrek 2

    Well, folks, it took us nine months, but our year-long immersion into the filmography of Mike Myers has finally broken us, as evidenced by the uncontrollable fit of laughter Callie breaks into over the thought of Shrek and Fiona driving around in a giant onion. Listen as the last vestiges of our sanity finally slip…

  • 12 Months of Mike Month 8: The Cat in the Hat (Family Friendly Censored Version)

    For the very tiny subset of Dystopian Dance Party listeners who are also children and huge Mike Myers Cat in the Hat fans (i.e., literally just Zach’s son), here’s a family-friendly version of our most recent podcast. As an added bonus, by just bleeping out the curse words, we put exactly the same amount of…

  • 12 Months of Mike Month 8: The Cat in the Hat

    After eight months, we’ve finally reached the film that started this whole ridiculous project in the first place… and now, jokes on us, we still have to watch three more Shrek movies. Join us as we discuss The Cat in the Hat, the infamous film that ended live-action adaptations of Dr. Seuss books and Mike…

  • 12 Months of Mike Month 7: Austin Powers in Goldmember

    Since the very beginning of this ill-fated project, we’ve been dreading a rewatch of Austin Powers in Goldmember, and let’s just say it didn’t disappoint. Join us as we discuss how Goldmember makes Fat Bastard look like one of the great characters of literary history, and why we’re relieved that there’s still (knock on wood)…

  • 12 Months of Mike Month 6: Shrek

    The wait is ogre! We’ve reached the halfway point of our 12-month series on the films of Mike Myers, and (sigh) the quarter-way point of the four goddamn Shrek movies we decided to include for some reason. Still, we had fun discussing what makes Shrek a Mike Myers character (spoiler alert: it’s mostly the Scottish…
