    The Magical Chaos of the Scholastic Book Fair

    Remember the pure excitement of finding out the Scholastic Book Fair was coming to your school? That magical time when $10 could make you feel rich, the school library became a shopping mall, and somehow you always came home with more erasers and posters than actual books. This week on Hoot'n & Holler'n, Matt, Eric, Drake, and Joey take a nostalgic trip back to one of the greatest events of the school year: the Scholastic Book Fair! We're remembering the excitement of circling everything in those paper-thin catalogs, stretching our book fair budgets, and deciding between Goosebumps, Mad Libs, sports books, and all the completely unnecessary junk we just HAD to have. Plus, Drake reveals his questionable method of financing his childhood shopping sprees, Matt confesses his lifelong obsession with Clifford the Big Red Dog erasers, and the guys revisit the posters, gel pens, and other treasures that made the Scholastic Book Fair feel like Christmas morning. From Goosebumps and Harry Potter to Lamborghini posters and Choose Your Own Adventure books, we're celebrating a time when the biggest financial decision of your young life was whether to buy another book or a pencil shaped like a dinosaur. So grab your book fair money, hide it from your teacher, and join us for a little magical chaos! Hoot'n & Holler'n is a nostalgic comedy podcast featuring Matt Mitchell, Eric Nix, Drake Pittman, and Joey Presley, revisiting the pop culture, childhood memories, and everyday absurdities of growing up in the South.

    Sleepaway Camp: Somebody Shut This Place Down

    We're wrapping up our journey through 1980s horror movies with Sleepaway Camp (1983), a summer camp slasher that somehow manages to make every terrible decision imaginable—and then tops it all off with one of the most shocking endings in horror movie history. This week on Hoot'n & Holler'n, Matt, Joey, Eric, and Drake head to Camp Arawak, where the counselors are questionable, the campers have absolutely filthy mouths, and the camp director refuses to shut the place down despite an alarming number of dead bodies. From a dangerously oversized pot of boiling water and a truly bizarre beehive attack to Ricky's legendary temper and some of the shortest shorts ever committed to film, we're breaking down all the ridiculous moments that make this cult classic unforgettable. And just when we think we've seen everything this movie has to offer, THAT ending leaves us with more questions than answers. WARNING: Major spoilers ahead! If you've never seen Sleepaway Camp, you might want to watch it before listening. Trust us, there's no preparing yourself for this one.

    The Slumber Party Massacre: Drilled to Death

    The Slumber Party Massacre: Drilled to Death Our journey through the wonderfully terrible world of '80s horror continues with 1982's The Slumber Party Massacre! This week, Matt, Joey, Eric, and Drake break down a slasher classic featuring a murderous escaped convict armed with a suspiciously powerful drill, the worst basketball team in movie history, a creepy neighbor with questionable boundaries, and a group of teenagers making absolutely terrible decisions. We discuss the movie's bizarre origins as a feminist satire, attempt to figure out how the killer's drill works without a power cord, and ask the important questions Hollywood apparently forgot to answer. It's got blood, bad acting, gratuitous nudity, and more plot holes than a block of Swiss cheese. Everything you could possibly want from a low-budget '80s horror movie! 🎙️ Hoot'n & Holler'n with Matt Mitchell, Joey Prestley, Eric Nix, and Drake Pittman. 🌐 More from the show: hootnandhollern.com

    Chopping Mall

    It’s spooky season at Hoot’n & Holler’n, and Joey has subjected the rest of us to the 1986 sci-fi horror masterpiece(?) Chopping Mall. A group of definitely-not-teenagers gets locked inside a mall overnight with three security robots that have been struck by lightning and decided murder is now part of the job description. Naturally, we have questions. We break down killer robots moving two miles an hour, an alarming amount of readily available propane, the mall’s complete disregard for fire codes, the romantic power of smelling like pepperoni, and one of the greatest phrases ever committed to film: “Rambo-Gram.” Plus, Matt discovers the rules of ’80s horror movies in real time. Chopping Mall. Come for the robots. Stay because the steel security doors have locked you inside.

    The Most Overrated & Underrated Video Games of Our Childhood

    What are the most overrated and underrated video games of our childhood? This week, Matt, Joey, Eric and Drake each pick a console they grew up with and make the case for one game that deserves more love—and one classic that might not deserve all the love it gets. We’re talking Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Zelda, Mario, Batman, Streets of Rage and plenty more, plus the glory days of video stores, impossible games, weird controllers, console wars and trying to beat a game before you had the internet to tell you how. Some childhood favorites hold up beautifully. Others were apparently being carried entirely by nostalgia.

    Even More Unhinged Disney World Episodes of 90s Sitcoms

    We’re heading back to Disney World for even more wildly unrealistic 90s sitcom magic. In Part 2, we tackle the Disney World episodes of Boy Meets World and Full House where Cory Matthews follows Topanga across multiple theme parks, teenagers apparently sleep on Splash Mountain, Michelle Tanner is granted near-absolute power over Disney World, and a missing six-year-old is somehow handled by Snow White and Mickey Mouse instead of, you know…security. We also get Jesse and the Rippers, Uncle Joey talking to an animated version of himself, questionable shark safety, some truly impossible park-hopping, and a whole lot of wondering how any of this was supposed to work.

    The Unhinged Disney World Episodes of 90s Sitcoms

    Remember when every successful ’90s sitcom eventually found an excuse to send the entire cast to Disney World? This week on Hoot’n & Holler’n, Matt Mitchell, Eric Nix, Drake Pittman, and Joey Prestley revisit the gloriously unhinged Disney World episodes of Family Matters and Roseanne. We break down how Urkel becomes Stefan (its a scam), Laura makes some highly questionable life choices, the Conners invade the happiest place on Earth, and everyone enjoys a version of Disney World with apparently no lines, unlimited character access, and instantaneous park hopping. We also dig into why these Disney episodes became such a weirdly specific ’90s sitcom tradition and separate the Disney World we saw on TV from the one actual human beings have to visit. And this is only the beginning. Boy Meets World and Full House are still waiting for us.

    The People Every Good Southern Establishment Needs

    What makes a good Southern establishment? Sometimes it’s not the food, the prices, or even the place itself. It’s the people. This week, Matt, Eric, Drake, and Joey break down the essential characters that let you know you’ve found a good one: the Dollar General manager who cares way too much, the longtime meat-and-three waitress, the old man who treats the golf course like his second home, the Waffle House cook you definitely don’t want to upset, and plenty more. From grocery stores and barbecue joints to gyms, golf courses, and Walgreens trolls, we’re celebrating the people who make Southern establishments what they are.
