It’s been almost eight months since we started on this bogus journey, and we might be slowly losing it, but at least we’re taking some of you down with us! In this extra-minisode, we share some stories about the friends online and IRL who we’ve started to slowly Weasel-pill. And there’s still at least four months of this shitshow left for you to be next! Jump on board just for Bio-Dome in two weeks!
If you couldn’t already tell we’d passed the glory days of Pauly Shore‘s career, well, here’s your wakeup call: Not one, but two glorified cameos in movie tie-ins to a cartoon, one of them direct to video. Luckily for our hero, A Goofy Movie (1995) happens to be a generational touchstone, and An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000) is… surprisingly watchable? Anyway, we go to some dark places in this episode, so to avoid incongruity with the kid-friendly movies’ themes, we bleeped out all the cuss words with fun Goofy sounds in the tradition of our Cat in the Hat episode. Unless we accidentally left some in, in which case, sorry, kids!
Here’s the video version:

In a complete stroke of serendipity while editing our last episode, Zach discovered that Pauly appeared in an In the Army Now-branded music video for “World of Swirl” by none other than ZZ Top. So, we figured it’s as good a time as any to dedicate a minisode to the Weasel’s most memorable music video appearances, from his own “Lisa, Lisa (The One I Adore)” to Young Buck’s “Shorty Wanna Ride.” Also, a tight five on the PS1 classic (at least in our house) WWF Attitude! We’ll be back in two weeks to talk about two goddamn Goofy movies for some reason. See you then!

Well, we knew the honeymoon had to end eventually; after nearly four months of being arguably the world’s most consistently Pauly Shore-positive podcast, we’ve finally found a movie we just plain don’t like. In the Army Now is brazen military propaganda, weirdly racist, and perhaps worst of all, not very funny. But hey, at least the soundtrack has a pretty cool ZZ Top song!
A quick note on the audio quality: We once again had a laggy Internet connection, and somehow lost Callie’s local audio, so you’ll notice significantly more crosstalk than usual on this one (and that’s coming from two people with a pretty high tolerance for crosstalk). Your patience and understanding is appreciated!

The podcast event literally no one asked for has finally arrived! From February 2024 until whenever we’ve had enough, we’re taking you on a journey through what we genuinely believe is the underrated filmography of the Weasel himself, Pauly Shore. Join us in this introductory episode as we explain why we’re doing this to ourselves (and to you) and take a quick jog through the random roles that resulted in one of the greatest characters in 20th century American literature.
But first, you’ll notice there’s something a little different this time: Given the importance of the visual medium to our current topic of discussion, we’re experimenting with video! As you can see from the first episode, the experiment hasn’t been an unqualified success; there was some pretty terrible lag on Zach’s end that has been preserved at the beginning for explanatory/comedic effect. We will troubleshoot this moving forward, but in the meantime, enjoy watching our audio swim in and out of sync while the video footage struggles to catch up with our lips! Welcome to the future!
