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).

Year of the Weasel Episode 6: A Goofy Movie (1995) and An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000)
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.

Year of the Weasel Episode 5: In the Army Now (1994)
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…

Year of the Weasel Episode 4: Son in Law (1993)
Our year-long deep dive into the filmography of Pauly Shore continues with 1993’s Son in Law: a heartwarming culture clash romantic comedy about how you shouldn’t call members of the white rural working class inbreeders, even after they roofie you and leave you in a compromising position to destroy your sham engagement. Whoops, spoilers!

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…
