    Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation

    Oh Shell, no! We worked up the will to watch this live action TMNT show that was brought to you by the people who brought us Power Rangers and disowned by the people who created TMNT. Also up for discussion: Alan's thirst for turtles. Technical Difficulties Revisiting The Naked Jungle More Technical Difficulties The Adventures of an Old Blind Man and a Rat Rocket Powered Surf Board Safety Angst filled Raphael is not Alan's fav Splinter's crazy Skype calls Slack jawed Turtles Bargain Basement Shredders.

    Spaced

    We watched Space - a 1999 sit-com starring Simon Pegg and directed by Edgar Wright. Ever heard of them? No. Neither have we. They probably never did anything else ever.

    House MD

    We watched a show where Hugh Laurie is a Doctor who solves medical mysteries. You've probably heard of it.

    Space Precinct

    Let's go to SPACE with Gerry Anderson (THUNDERBIRDS, CAPTAIN SCARLET, SPACE 1999) and his short lived series SPACE PRECINCT. Which caused Patrick to have an existential crisis. Also in this episode: We discuss whose name is less common. Going to mass with a toy that has your name. Alan's authentic but useless ID card. We pour one out for Glenn Frey, star of South of Sunset.

    Lucha Underground

    Pilot Season returns for 2016 with LUCHA UNDERGROUND. We watched the pilot episode for the  El Rey Network's acclaimed Lucha Libre show. Other topics included Technical issues and Skype Recorders New content on the website for 2016 Patrick's musical cameo in Fool's Gold. How there are no other podcasts Comic books and wrestling Alan's Christmas presents.

    Bojack Horseman

    This week we dip back into Netflix to watch Bojack Horseman. A show about a Horse. A horse who is a man. A man horse who is a former sit-com star. A former sit com star who needs to write a memoir to save his career. Also talking animals are just a thing. Notes: Candy Machines Vietnamese surnames Is Lost In Translation a Christmas movie? (We don't answer this question) REALLY Trying not to spoil future episodes on Alan The continued theme of Patrick not thinking The Man in the High Castle is not good enough but being too afraid of Diamanda Hagan to change anything.

    South of Sunset

    We've gone Flip City this week on Pilot Season. Because we're taking it to the limit one more time to watch South of Sunset starring Glenn "That Guy From Eagles who isn't Don Henley That the Makers of His Show Had Heard Of" Frey (whose name pronunciation we never quite settle on). This episode was suggested to us by Rich Thomas (@earthdog). If you want to suggest a podcast we could cover please do so in the comments or tweet at us! Notes: Too many Eagles References. The state of the Unemployed Historian IMDB (or how Jill Bearup is no longer hosting Pilot Season) 3 Degrees of Don Johnson Staying in a Sexmotel Billy Joel and the slimming effect of pianos. Alan talks about Roman Literature The process of send lewd photos in the 90s. A new That 70s Show/South of Sunset Head-canon is created Vince McMahon's Actual T-Rex Skull Juggalo Street Gangs. The Man in the High Castle Follow Up BONUS: The Question that Broke Word Funk.
