Slumgullion 72: Picard Meets the Mandalorian

Jeff and Scott make their Jean-Luc Picard and Mandalorian action figures fight for TV supremacy, then they feel bad about all the made-for-podcast violence and instead make them kiss, and things take an unexpected turn, with the plastic Jean-Luc and Din Djarin asserting their independence and going on a double date with Ken and Stretch Armstrong.

Note: This episode features special cameo appearances by Kristen Stewart and Cthulu.

Episode 71: The Rise of Skywalker

Jeff, Scott, and the New Movie Crew join the Resistance against the First Order just in time to hear Rey's 23andMe results.

And here's the link to Javier Grillo-Marxuach's piece on Return of the Jedi. As Jeff said: 

Everyone who enjoys Star Wars needs to read this. I have been having this exact internal mono(dia)logue since I saw Rise of Skywalker. I have been trying to find the words. Javi found them a few years ago. I am at peace now.

Episode 70: The Mandalorian

Jeff, Scott, and Mrs. C. discuss the first two episodes of THE MANDALORIAN over delicious strips of Salacious B. Crumb kebobs.

Episode 69: Terminator Dark Fate

This is a historic episode: number 69. We don't like to brag, but rarely does a foul-mouthed little podcast get to 69 episodes without a filthy, elbow-nudging 'Sixty-Nine" joke, and yet...we did it! How, you ask? Well, we attribute it to clean living,  high morals, and the fact that Scott didn't tell Jeff it was Episode 69, and he doesn't care and doesn't keep track of these things because he's not a weird little Gollum-esque obsessive like Scott.

So here you go. We talk about Edward D. Wood, Jr. and Terminator: Dark Fate. Do we draw a parallel between the two? An incredibly insulting parallel? Well, funny you should mention that, because we...Nah. We won't spoil it for you.

Episode 68: Joker

Jeff, Scott, and two-thirds of the New Movie Crew discuss their relationship status with Joker.

It's Complicated.

Episode 67: Dinosaurs and Harley-Davidsons

Jeff goes to It Chapter 2 to find closure, while Scott goes to the 40th Anniversary screening of Breaking Away to find Undead Paul Dooley. Then it's Larry Cohen's Q: The Winged Serpent (1982) starring Michael Moriarty as an aging Baby Driver who falls in with a homicidal femme fatale who also happens to be an ancient Aztec god (can this marriage be saved?) versus The Rebel Rousers (1970), featuring Diane Ladd as a pregnant spokesmodel for Scotch, and Bruce Dern as a kindly Hell's Angel from an alternate dimension.

Episode 66: Let's All Visit the National Comedy Center!

This week, Jeff goes to the National Comedy Center in New York, while Scott goes to a dark place with some puppets.
