As we prepare for our grim tour of duty with In the Army Now, here's a minisode where we dig a little more into Totally Pauly's chaotic live spring break incarnation, "Chillin' with the Wiez." We also catch up on some of the more recent happenings in the Paulyverse, leading to the introduction of a new segment where we ask the titular question (answer still inconclusive).

Our year-long deep dive into the filmography of Pauly Shore continues with 1993's Son in Law: a heartwarming culture clash romantic comedy about how you shouldn't call members of the white rural working class inbreeders, even after they roofie you and leave you in a compromising position to destroy your sham engagement. Whoops, spoilers!

Can you believe it's been two full months and we still haven't dropped the biweekly schedule? Looks like it's high time to rest on our laurels for a bit. In this "mini"-episode (that is basically the exact same length as a regular episode), we answer listener correspondence, make some corrections, read some relevant passages of Vince Neil's section of The Dirt (see, now we have your attention!), and finally get our hands on a (digital) copy of Stoney's Encino High Journal. Join us again in two weeks as we go deep on 1993's Son in Law!

We're now a month into our year-long immersion into the filmography of Pauly Shore, and we're finally watching a Pauly Shore film! Actually, make that one and a half Pauly Shore films, because we're pairing his motion picture debut, 1992's Encino Man, with his (rightfully) lesser-known role in the same year's Kid n Play vehicle, Class Act. If you're worried about keeping the movies straight, though, don't be: he's pretty much the same character in both. We'll pick up again in two weeks with Son in Law--see you then, buuu-ddies!

When we last left our hero, it was 1989 and the world was teetering on the brink of full-blown Weaselmania; now, we're picking up for a deep dive into the peak of Pauly Shore's pre-movie fame, including his MTV show Totally (Different) Pauly, his two (!) imperial-era standup comedy albums, and his 1992 victory-lap HBO special Pauly Does Dallas. Next time, we'll finally talk about Encino Man! Sound good, buuu-ddies? Cool.

The podcast event literally no one asked for has finally arrived! From February 2024 until whenever we've had enough, we're taking you on a journey through what we genuinely believe is the underrated filmography of the Weasel himself, Pauly Shore. Join us in this introductory episode as we explain why we're doing this to ourselves (and to you) and take a quick jog through the random roles that resulted in one of the greatest characters in 20th century American literature.
