Zach is joined by Podcasters UndeadMatt and KrampusCody (Punk Rock Horror Podcast), who together face the terror of two legendary figures of science fiction and terror with a double bill of Irvin Yeaworth's 'The Blob (1958)'and Ishirō Honda's 'Gojira (1954)' (US Title: GODZILLA). Get ready for tales from beyond the stars and beneath the depths of the oceans as the boys discuss the ingenuity and charm of the special effects to be found in the films, the significance each has to their respective goals as pieces of cinema, the astonishing stories behind the making of the films, the artistry of Honda, the indie film making gumption of Yeaworth and Jack H. Harris, and the GIGANTIC mark left on Pop Culture by both respective Terror Titans. But as you can imagine, the howls of horror are balanced with howls of laughter as the guys really break down the issue of Steve McQueen's age, dissect the secret 'Fast and Furious' movie in 'The Blob', and discuss the coolness of movie characters that have eye-patches. Plus: How Many Times Can We Quote The Simpsons and Futurin a single episode? The Answer won't surprise you.

Zach is joined by podcasters Anthony Cubba and Brent Ballard (Poptimistic) to take a journey to the end of civilization with a look at 1964's 'The Last Man On Earth.' Travail the abandoned city of Los Angeles (or is it Rome?) with the boys as they slay Vampires with Vincent Price. Along the way, they will find out about the films rocky pre-production, more on how Richard Matheson was involved and why that would crumble, show appreciation for an intriguing Vincent Price performance, find touches of brilliance even amidst the stumbles, and debate how the film holds in comparison to other adaptations of the source material. But there are also plenty of laughs such as the boys listening to Vincent Price get rather cheeky throughout the show, conjuring up a mash up of Matheson and Star Wars, and puzzle over how long garlic can actually last. PLUS: Daniel Day Lewis in the role of a life time!

This week, on a very special GIGANTIC SIZED episode of the Ballyhoo that may go on for years, Zach is joined by return guests Tyler and "Andrew" (Pop Culture Brews) to shoot elephants in the Ballyhoo's pajamas... how they got in our pajamas, we dont know. That's right folks, the topic of the day will be THE MARX BROTHERS as the boys dive deep into their first Five Films with Paramount Pictures. Settle in for the long haul that may go on for years as they find amazement in the origins of cinemas legend comedy foursome, giggle in delight at their favorite jokes, dispel a few myths and rumors about the team and the films, reckon with outdated material and how to process it when watching comedy of the past, and hold a spotlight onto the many tangible and emotional ways the Marx Brothers have left their imprint on cinema and comedy at large. And while the boys cannot top the lines from any of the brothers, they do find hilarity at the convenience of the brothers names, get baffled by the lyrics of Monkey Doodle Do, and so much more. PLUS: We make the case for one Herbert "Zeppo" Marx. Films Discussed: The Cocoanuts (1929) Animal Crackers (1930) Monkey Business (1931) Horse Feathers (1932) Duck Soup (1933) Films Not Discussed: Humour Risk... cause we cant see it. ---- For more of Tyler and "Andrew", listen to them regularly on the astounding podcast, POP CULTURE BREWS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pop-culture-brews/id1477714941 https://www.ageofradio.org/popculturebrews/ And follow them on Social Media Twitter: @popculturebrews Instagram: @popculturebrews Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/popculturebrews/
