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.

A Scooby-Doo Valentine
It’s the Heavy Meddle Valentine’s Special, in which Ethan is joined by self-proclaimed kissing experts Kenny and Ben of the Pass The Golden Popcorn podcast. Together they discuss a special episode of What’s New Scooby-Doo that was far crazier than you can imagine, complete with evil doppelgangers, secret admirer dogs, and celebrity guest JC Chasez. Listen along with Ethan and his guests as they try to make sense of the N’SYNC naming scheme, discuss giving a valentine to your bully, and go head to head in the first-ever round of competitive Jinkies or Stinkies!
Best Kiss 2021: Emilaris in Paris w/ Maggie Grossman
Kenny and Ben are joined by their friend Maggie for a discussion of the final (for now) Best Kiss category at the MTV Movie & TV Awards which is all TV for the first time. Should Outer Banks really have won over Killing Eve, Emily in Paris, Never Have I Ever and Bridgerton? Kenny, Ben, and Maggie get to the bottom of this while also discussing the geography of North Carolina, fight kisses, the proper pronunciation of the word Paris, relatable screw-up protagonists, one of the sketches from when Regé-Jean Page hosted SNL, and more. Plus, we announce what we’re going to be doing next to wrap up Best Kiss and kick off something new! It’s all very exciting so tune in!
Episode Three – ASMR

Best Kiss 2019: Last Hurrah for Movie Kisses
Kenny and Ben face the end of an era as they tackle the last Best Kiss year that includes movies in the nominations (so far). To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before won this year against Aquaman, Riverdale, Sex Education, and Venom but was it really the best kiss? Kenny and Ben get to the bottom of it while also discussing how satisfying fake romance to real romance stories are, superhero movie colour schemes, the gargoyle gang, Archie getting attacked by a bear, the joys of episodic structure in serialized TV, the one true 3-way kiss, and much more. Nominate movies for Best Kiss again in 2022 please, MTV!
S03E24 – “Talitha Cumi”
We finally made it to the season 3 finale “Talitha Cumi” where this stellar season ends with an ok mytharc finale. We see the return of Shelby’s nemesis, Teena Mulder, and learn some…interesting things about her past. We also have a scene inspired by a 19th century Russian novel, some biblical references, and another face off between Mulder and X.
Tune in next time when we watch S03S18 “Teso Dos Bichos” for a bonus episode/season 3 wrap up and follow us on Twitter @condensedtruth!
Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase
All good things must come to an end, which includes GrooScooMoMo 2022! We’ve had a fun month covering the Scooby-Doo direct to video films and the time has come to discuss one of the most requested topics in the history of the podcast, Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase! Ethan is joined by returning guest Jesse Catherine Webber to discuss a movie they have immense nostalgia with, even if it has a few problems. Will this make it into the Golden Scoob tier? Would the Cyber Chase game even be any fun? Does Shaggy wear a belt? Only the most important questions are explored on Heavy Meddle.
