Best Villain 2001: Whoville is Like Sodom and Gomorrah w/ Shane Cannon

00:00 / 1:59:03

Kenny and Ben are rejoined by their friend Shane who did entirely too much prep work for this episode. Jim Carrey won Best Villain for How the Grinch Stole Christmas but should he really have won over the villains Hollow Man, The Cell, Hannibal, and Gladiator? Should he even have been nominated? The gang gets into it while also discussing Kenny’s very specific hang-ups about the live-action Dr. Seuss adaptations, the rules of being partially visible, bad direct to video sequels, skin hooks, putting too much effort into silly bits, how Ridley Scott came to direct Hannibal, Oliver Reed, and more. All this plus someone dies?! You won’t want to miss this one.

David, Michel and special guest Nathan bring season 3 of Podtor Whocast in with a bang by collectively losing their minds while talking Smith and Jones. There’s Virgin New Adventures talk, Michel’s been listening to Big Finish, and a rogue Battles in Time card turns each of us into 10 year olds.

Happy Heavy Meddle…Thursday? We kind of stumbled ass backwards into a Cinco De Mayo special so I figured I might as well put it out on the day in question! Evan Gray returns to the show to discuss the Scooby Gang’s escapades in Mexico. For an episode that’s 45 years old it’s surprisingly very fun and not that racist! Other topics include ghost barges, giant footprints, and Dora the Explorer.

Best Villain 2000: Bittersweet SITH-phony w/ Emilio Diaz

00:00 / 2:16:35

Kenny and Ben are once again joined by their friend Emilio for a lively discussion on Best Villain 2000. Mike Meyers wins again for his performance as Dr. Evil in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, but how does he stack up to the villains of The Talented Mr. Ripley, Cruel Intentions, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, and Sleepy Hollow? The gang tries to get to the bottom of it, while also discussing Mini-Me, the tragic dimensions of the Tom Ripley Characters, Ben’s experience watching both sequels to Cruel Intentions, Kenny’s experience watching The Phantom Menace as a 6-year-old, the weirdness of nominating Christopher Walken for a performance that’s mostly Ray Park, and much more! This contains maybe the highest quality of movie conversations yet so get listening!

How to Train Your Coward

It’s the last week of Vampril and I know we’re all sad to see it go. But we have a very fun ep for you this week so cheer up! Ethan’s pal Mason Smith joins the show to talk about a typically meta episode of Be Cool Scooby-Doo. While there are plenty of tangents along the way, (including one very long one about chicken), they have a thoughtful conversation about what makes Be Cool Scooby-Doo work and why you should give it a chance.

Kenny and Ben face an unprecedented situation as they dive into the only tie result in MTV Movie Awards History! Audiences couldn’t decide between Matt Dillon in There’s Something About Mary and Stephen Dorff in Blade but our intrepid hosts try to as they weight them against the villains of Bride of Chucky, Lethal Weapon 4, and Jawbreaker. Who will come up on top? The boys talk it out while also discussing jokes that drag on too long, how Morbius almost appeared in Blade, disappointing revivals of beloved franchises, how Mel Gibson should absolutely not direct a 5th Lethal Weapon, the pronounciation of the word progenitor and much more! The podcast is taking a week break after this so we made sure this episode was packed with good stuff to tide you over.

S04E12 - "Paper Hearts" feat Meagan

00:00 / 1:10:05

We returned to talk to our friend Meagan about S04E10 “Paper Hearts”! We discuss the procedural heavy Vince Gilligan penned episode that makes us question that the main driving force of the show–that Samantha Mulder was abducted–was instead a non-extraterrestrial kidnapping. Mulder spirals as Scully tries to keep him together and Skinner mostly yells at both of them.

The last time that Daniel Foster was on Heavy Meddle, there were riots in the streets. People begged that he never return to the show. Ethan didn’t listen. On this blockbuster episode of Heavy Meddle, Vampril continues as Daniel returns, bringing with him another returning guest, Cullen Atchley of the Cannes I Kick It podcast and Bevy of Bevies. Which guest discovered a newfound appreciation for Scooby-Doo and which one came away with a surprising hatred of the show? Will Daniel continue his perfect Jinkies or Stinkies streak? Who will be the first to cancel themself live on the show? The only way to get the answer to any of these questions is to listen to this week’s episode!
