247. Frame Rate: Legend of the Mountain (Feat. Alex Shifman)
Michael and Abe sit down with Alex Shifman, co-host of Science! The Show, to discuss this 1979 Taiwanese fantasy horror mystery film. This film's climax involves a drum battle between a ghost and a holy man. So, I'm not convinced it's not a Slayer song.

246. Rough Stuff: Karate Bullies & Love At First Butt-Grab
Sarah and Bridgett sit down and read some fan-submitted rough stuff for the second time. You all inspire us with your awkwardness, so press play and keep it rough. Nope. Never saying that again.

240. Frame Rate: The Fly (Feat. David Christopher Bell)
Michael and Abe are joined by the inscrutable David Bell to discuss the body-horror film, The Fly (1986). This patron-exclusive came out around Thanksgiving, but it's just time for the holidays in the U.S. So, while you're lapping up all that turkey, ham, or veggie skin, remember to visualize when Brundle-Fly's face skin slides off his fly face. Bon appetite!

244. The Coen Brothers Brothers: Inside Llewyn Davis
Hang me O hang me, Michael and Abe spent two hours and fifteen minutes in this in-depth dissection of the Coen's Inside Llewyn Davis. We get real inside Llewyn Davis, real up in those insides. Guess what? It's full of cats, grief, and uncertainty.

243. Frame Rate: In The Loop (Feat. Daniel O'Brien)
You need to listen to this podcast or "I will stuff so much cotton wool down your fucking throat it'll come out your arse like the tail on a Playboy bunny." Michael and Abe sit down with Daniel O'Brien to discuss the political satire In The Loop. If it weren't full of soul-crushing insults, this 2009 political satire may feel a bit too close home so listeners beware. "I've just told you to fuck off twice yet you're still here?"

242. Directorpiece Theatre: Is The Wedding Singer An Art Film?
In this brand new podcast, Abe poses the question: why does award season prefer art house films but shy away from romantic comedies? He makes the case that the production and costume design teams of The Wedding Singer (1998) got robbed and Adam makes fun of Abe's use of "slaps" (as in "this podcast description slaps"). Description written by Abe Epperson.

241. Frame Rate: A Mighty Wind (Feat. Caroline Anderson)
Caroline Anderson joins Michael and Abe in blowin' some mighty wind. We got nothing but hot air for this mockumentary. It's a gas.

239. Frame Rate: Strange Brew
Two Americans chew some back bacon (the comedy and cultural relevance of 1983's Strange Brew and how it shaped their comedic sensibilities). For all its flaws, this retelling of Hamlet as the story of two hosers hunting for beer is arguably one of the best comedies ever made. So, grab some corn and um, uh- it's podcast time.

238. Rough Stuff: Mistakes of Middle School - Rage and Flirts (Feat. Brandie Posey)
Brandie Posey joins Sarah and Bridgett to discuss how lucky she is to not visually remember her past given her tumultuous wolf-loving history. They agree that dating is sometimes comparing men to Jean-Luc Picard's unimpeachable moral compass. This causes the man writing this description to feel very insecure.

237. Waveformed: Cristian Ramirez
In a special episode of Waveformed, we do a host swap and Michael prods the musical chronology of the entity that is Cristian. Within 10 songs, multiple nostalgic stories, and a brief heart to heart about emo music, we learn that Michael should never host again.
