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 48: Babylon 5, Deadpool 2, Solo 1...and Done

Jeff and Scott have come not to praise Deadpool 2 but to...Well, actually to praise it, but they get distracted by the release of Babylon 5 on Amazon Prime (which sounds like we're stuck in yet another stupid Star Trek timeline), and the Shakespeare in the Park production of Pirates of Penzance, starring Kevin Kline, Linda Rondstadt, and Rex Smith as Street Hawk!

Then it's on to the mean streets of Corellia (A Quinn Martin Production) for Solo: A Star Wars Story:

Episode 47: Avengers: Infinity War: Colon Style!

Corellian freighter jack-knifed off the 101 today, road closures to follow...*

Jeff drags Scott to a 12-Step program for people who procrastinate until their DVRs explode, while the New Movie Crew takes on Avengers: Infinity War. As with all our Marvel movie reviews, stick around for the post credits sequence.

Slumgullion Episode 45: Black Panther

In Part 1, Jeff and Scott grief counsel each other through their co-dependent relationships with Star Wars and Star Trek, and somehow wind up awarding a pair of breasts to Dr. McCoy. In Part II, the New Movie Crew takes on Black Panther, and the fur really flies.

And check out the bonus video below.




Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, Black Panther director Ryan Coogler, and star Chadwick Boseman make a surprise appearance at the opening night screening at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. At least, it was a surprise to us.

Episode 41: Justice League

Or: A Meditation on the Nature of Heroism and Invisible Mustache Rides.

Scott and Jeff discuss the new Star Wars movie, Han Solo: Why?, then make Star Trek: Discovery and The Orville square off and fight like Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em Robots. Afterwards, the New Movie Crew gives Justice League a lot of mixed signals, but decide they might go home with it anyway because it's almost closing time, when Jeff is suddenly sucked away by a storm like Dorothy Gale.

GrITs!

Finally, The Slumgullion Returns! With Mrs. C! Star Wars! Firefly! Running Gags! Two non Stephen King fans talking about a Stephen King movie!

It's a Reboot to a Reboot That's Also A Sequel to Another Movie (Kill Me)

Welcome back! Sorry for the delay -- there have been a multitude of weird, inexplicable, possibly curse-related injuries and illnesses plaguing the staff lately -- but we hope to make it up to you today with a pretty good show.

In Part I, Scott and Jeff chat about a couple of fun geeky things, and a whole lot of death. Then Jeff Holland, Man-Baby Hunter, paddles upstream against the tears of male Doctor Who fans who are squeamish because the incoming lady time lord might find a new, off-label use for the Sonic Screwdriver, and it could totally void the warranty! Don't you even care?

Then it's time for the Unknown Movie Challenge, where the whole New Movie Crew goes back to high school for Spider-Man: Homecoming. Please join us for this rockin' sock hop, and visit the refreshment table for punch, Skittles, Clearasil, and self-loathing.

(Here's a link to the trailer for Darkest Hour that Jeff was raving about during one of his raves)

How Do You Role Play "Silent Running"?

Season 2, Episode 6

In a very special edition of The Slumgullion, Jeff and Scott are joined by Sleepy Hollow Executive Producer/Showrunner Albert Kim. They talk about the show in general, last week's episode in particular, and tonight's finale in vague, teasing terms. They also talk a surprising amount about 70's sci fi.

NOTE: Massive Special Thanks to Christina Gorski at Fox PR. This would not have happened without her, and it is appreciated.

The The Slumgullion Episode 17 “My First Straight Boner”

With Special Guests Mary Clevenger and Indy McDaniel

In which a happy discussion about Stranger Things turns into a hateful rant from Jeff about three new horror films.  After we relive some childhood memories, the Unknown Movie Challenge is 1957’s Invasion of the Saucer Men.  Many tangents ensue.

The Slumgullion Episode 16 “The Quicker Picker Upper”

In which our heroes, dealing with pain, insomnia and demonic possession, discuss MST3K, religious propaganda, and play the "Who Should Beat Up Kirk Cameron?" game. For the Unknown Movie Challenge (dig that new theme song!), we have a free floating discussion about a free floating film: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai-Across the 8th Dimension. Other things are mentioned and the theme for the Unknown Movie Challenge is revealed. Break Music by Michael Boddicker

The Slumgullion Episode 1 “Shannon Tweed’s Lady Bits”

From the carcass of The All Star Summer Jamboree comes basically the same thing with an equally weird name.  In this episode, Jeff and Scott talk about Jessica Jones, Eyes Wide Shut, and soft core porn before settling down -- in honor of the late Alan Rickman -- for an in depth discussion of the comedy classic Galaxy Quest.
