Best Kiss 1992: Bee Safety
/
RSS Feed
In the very first episode of Pass the Golden Popcorn, Kenny and Ben don’t do a very good job explaining the premise of the show, but they jump in with gusto to explore the iconic Best Kiss category of the MTV Movie Awards beginning with 1992, which was won by My Girl. Sure, the kiss shared by Anna Chlumsky and Macauley Culkin was sweet but was it really award worthy compared to The Addams Family, Bugsy, Cape Fear and The Naked Gun 2 1/2? Kenny and Ben try to figure this out while also grappling with the oddness of open casket child funerals, an unfortunate mispronounciation of an actor’s name, the relationship between Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, the baffling choice to nominate the kiss in Cape Fear, Weezer, and more! It’s a doozy of a first episode so grab your golden popcorn and get ready.

S02E05/06 – “Duane Barry” and “Ascension”

RSS Feed
We bring you two pivotal episodes of The X Files, which is also our first super-sized two parter. We discuss “Duane Barry”, full of twist and turns and speedos, then cover the suspenseful “Ascension”, with Mulder Taking it Personally (TM). We admire some stellar guest acting from CCH Pounder and Steve Railsback, a too in detail discussion on the depiction of grocery stores, and the roots of the mythology as established in this two parter. In the segments, we have our most contentious Mulder rating to date and a fruitful reflection on the medium of tv and its strengths.

A Menace In Venice

Self-proclaimed Opera Expert Daniel Foster was very excited to cover this episode of The Scooby-Doo Show only to very quickly realize it had absolutely nothing to do with the performing arts. Still he was gracious enough to stick around for a now infamous episode of Heavy Meddle, in which you can witness in real time his gradual disillusionment with Scooby-Doo, the podcast, and most definitely it’s host. How much of this is a bit and how much is reality? Who knows!
Stick around to hear Daniel explain the tv show Seinfeld, Ethan explain the basic laws of physics, and for no one to explain why the ghostly gondolier was already a ghost before he died! PLUS a groundbreaking round of Jinkies Or Stinkies! It’s a real barnburner!
