Escape into a film franchise set in a dystopian future where cities are assaulted by a militarized police force led by a corrupt president! In this very fictional scenario, only one-eyed Clint Eastwood-esque mercenary Snake Plissken can save the day. Join prison residents Ian, Sam, Spencer and special guest James Johnston (Taxi Cab Comedy); four people who have never been to ATX! Has Joe Rogen met his match? Who does Ben Mendelsohn play? Will Vladimir Putin serenade Snake with a cover of Fats Domino's "Blueberry Hill"? Tune in to Escape (the Pina Colada Song) from Austin!

Happy New Year! As a sendoff to 2025 we're looking at the definitive New Year's Eve franchise, with our friends from franchises of years past. Join Ian, Sam, and Spencer aboard the franchise party boat, Poseidon 2, as we set a course for...the sky?! Which famous franchise heavy hitters will be hitting the deck? Who's going to yell at God and women? Where is Fergie? Many questions, but only one thing is certain: This time, boat go up.

"Ya like green girls? I love em!" For this Christmas adventure, we're taking a look at holiday classic Gremlins, and the bizarre follow up, Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Chris Columbus may have a vision for Gremlins 3 coming out in a few years, but perhaps our pitch will be more reflective of Joe Dante's madness. Join Ian, Sam, Spencer, and returning Christmas guest Peter Liu as we navigate the dense lore of this IP. Is this a pseudo-musical critiquing the previous entry, much like Joker 2? What holiday trauma will be unearthed for Phoebe Cates? What liquids will create monstrosities across the United States, from smoothies in Hollywood to coffee in New York? Open your present and behold Gremlins 3: One Gremlin After Another; the feel good movie of the year.
