Kenny and Ben are rejoined by their good pal Jack to discuss Best Villain 1993 and this one is packed. Single White Female won this year but is Jennifer Jason Leigh’s obsessive roommate more evil than villains from Batman Returns, Unlawful Entry, A Few Good Men, and Basic Instinct? The boys try to get to the bottom of it while also talking about alternate potential nominees for this year, the “seemingly innocent stranger invades people’s lives” subgenre of 90s thrillers, penguin funerals, Kurt Russell playing against type, code reds, a lengthy tangent that begins with talking about Sharon Stone on Netflix’s Murderville and ends with Kenny talking about where he was the night Stephen Hawking died, and more! It’s a unintentionally supersized episode and we go all out for this one.
The Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair
There’s a new Batman movie coming out this weekend, but it surely will not be as exciting as when the Scooby gang helped Batman and Robin stop an old lady from counterfeiting five dollar bills. Comics expert and friend of the show Ian Kadleck returns to discuss The Dynamic Scooby-Doo Affair, colloquially known as Scooby-Doo Meets Batman and Robin. Have the standards for Batman stories changed in the past fifty years? Why are Penguin and the Joker the henchmen in this episode? What is batmilk? Can you tell we have a lot of questions?
BONUS – Brother-Who?! A Game Show
In this special bonus episode, we premiere a brand new game show: it’s time for BROTHER-WHO?!, the FMA trivia game to end all FMA trivia […]
Best Villain 1992: Defeated by a Wind Chime
Kissing is out and evil is in as Kenny and Ben start a new series dedicated to classic MTV Movie Awards category Best Villain. The Hand That Rocked the Cradle won for Rebecca De Mornay’s chilling portrayal of Mrs. Mott, but does it have a better villain than Cape Fear, Terminator 2, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, or New Jack City? Kenny and Ben will figure it out while also touching on critical wind chimes, their first repeat nominee, why Dark Fate is the 3rd-best terminator, The Crusades, out of place social commentary, and more! It’s a wicked good start to what looks to be a devilishly fun series!
S04E01 – “Herrenvolk”
We return to the humble mytharc roots to talk S04E01 “Herrenvolk” as Jeremiah Smith struggles to explain the Syndicate’s plan for colonization to a PEAK sad boy Mulder. We navigate some old staples of the mythology (Samantha and her never ending clones, smallpox vaccines) with some new elements (bees!) and discuss what we think of this new shift in the ongoing plot.
Tune in next time when we watch S04E02 “Home” and follow us on Twitter @condensedtruth!
What the Hex is Going On?
What’s the scariest episode of Scooby-Doo? Well if you ask Ethan it’s Scooby-Doo Where Are You’s What the Hex is Going On? What’s the scariest […]
Best Sandwich 1996: Waiting for a Sandwich Moment w/ Matt Simard
Kenny and Ben are joined by their theme song composer Matt for a look at possibly the weirdest one-off award category the MTV Movie Awards ever attempted: Best Sandwich. Smoke won over Four Rooms and Goldeneye for its Ham and Cheese sandwich but should it have? The boys get to the bottom of it while also talking about Faye Dunaway’s bizarre acceptance speech, hypothetical 2015 nominees, Tom Waits, Tim Roth, the James Bond franchise, and more! If podcast episodes were sandwiches, this would be a delicious one!
Caveman on the Half Pipe!
Snowboarding Champion Chloe Kim may be a two time olympic gold medalist but her proudest achievement is probably appearing on an episode of Scooby-Doo and Guess Who. That episode is the topic in question today as returning guest Evie joins Ethan for a last minute Heavy Meddle Winter Olympics special. Topics include Most Vertical Primates, sandwich artists, and youtube poop.
Best Kiss Finale: The Greatest of All Time
Kenny and Ben wrap up Best Kiss once and for all (well, at least until the 2022 MTV Movie Awards happen) with this special episode. In 2020 MTV aired a Greatest of All Time special for the MTV Movie Awards where Cruel Intentions was honoured with the Legendary Liplock award. Rather than challenge this, Kenny and Ben decide to build on it, picking their 5 favourite kisses from the first 30 episodes of the show to join Cruel Intentions as part of a “Kiss canon” of the best kisses honoured by the MTV Movie Awards. Then they look back on their favourite discoveries from the first 30 episodes of the show and look ahead to what’s next. What did they pick? Was there any overlap? How controversial will their winners end up being? You’ll have to listen to find out!
S3 Wrap Up and S03E18 – “Teso Dos Bichos”
We wrapped up season 3 by watching S03E18 “Teso Dos Bichos”, the lowest rated X Files episode on imdb so y’all don’t have to. We talk archaeology and dogs who eats cats who eat rats.
