Ep61 - Elf + She Loves Me

The best way to spread Christmas Cheer, is singing loud for all to hear–and that goes double if you’re Laura Benanti. This week we’re doing a Christmas crossover with holiday comedy Elf and Broadway favorite She Loves Me. Join us for our conversation about Walt’s love of humidifiers, Annie’s childhood reindeer trauma, and how ice cream solves all your problems.

Ep60 - Holes + Inception

It’s the bagel party of your dreams–but definitely don’t google it. This week, we’re crossing over the brilliantly crafted time-crossing middle grade adventure Holes and the heist-in-a-nested-reality action film Inception. Join us for our conversation on cootie catchers, Eartha Kitt’s version of Santa Baby, and actresses who do a lot with roles that don’t give them much to work with. Plus, teamwork truly makes the dream work!

Ep59 - Rocky Horror + New Girl

Calling all True Americans: it's time to do the Time Warp (again)! Walt and Annie make a soft transition out of Halloween spookiness, by mashing up retro-sci-fi-gender-bending-crazytown The Rocky Horror Picture Show with delightfully cozy Friends-but-you-like-them sitcom New Girl. Meatloafs die and a classic Winston messaround goes awry, while we discuss sexual freedoms in the 1970s, what makes a truly good hang-out sitcom, and whether Tim Curry can do any wrong whatsoever. (Spoiler alert: he can't, but maybe his characters should get a refresher on consent.)

Ep58 - The Omen + What We Do in the Shadows

Happy Halloween, ghosts and ghouls! This year, we’re celebrating the spookiest of holidays with classic ‘70s horror-psychological thriller The Omen and contemporary vampire comedy gold What We Do in the Shadows. Join us as we talk about how Brian’s Song might be a horror movie, a Flintstones dinosaur undertaker, and why Damien running his mom off the balcony is totally an understandable mistake that could happen to any kid. Taika Waititi, if you’re listening, please be our friend.

Ep57 - Macbeth + Rugrats

Use your screwdriver to break out of your baby pen, but watch out for witches on the way, because this week we're crossing over Shakespearian tragedy Macbeth with classic Nicktoon Rugrats! Walt and Annie are both feeling a bit punchy as they cover the secret to a good Shakespeare play for middle schoolers, the ways that animation can be ugly and gorgeous all at once, and whether any of our listeners were cool in high school. Miraculously, no babies are harmed in the crossover, but we can't say the same for the ice cream truck.

Ep56 - Robin Hood Prince of Thieves + Mean Girls

Get in loser, we’re going to Sherwood! This week Walt and Annie are crossing over Ren Faire Adventuretime Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and high school classic Mean Girls! Walt kicks things off with a pun truly unappreciated in its time, we wonder about the similarities between Kevin Costner and Erren Sermerlsen, and we chat about the limits of both Tina Fey’s and oeuvre and KingRichard’s...everything. In the end we basically invent “Reign,” but just remember: everything we do, we do it for you.

Ep55 - The Good Place + The Adventure Zone

Holy forking shirtballs, it’s happening! Hop in your Lamborghini power wheels and check us out, because Walt and Annie are crossing over two of their favorite things of all time: morality farce The Good Place, and goof-goof-roleplaying podcast The Adventure Zone: Balance! We dive deep on these two much-beloved properties, and talk about what makes Clint McElroy a great dad, why we can’t wait for Michael Schur’s baby-punching sitcom, and what happens when Garfield the Deals Warlock takes over the frozen yogurt stand. We stay largely spoiler-free for the first half of the episode, so feel free to listen even if you’re not caught up, and then go binge both of them as soon as possible. Trust us: they’re going to be amazing. SPECIAL BONUS CONTEST: Leave us a rating and review on iTunes, and you might score yourself a free TAZ Graphic Novel!

Ep54 - Legend of the Guardians + Sherlock Holmes

It's time for some adorable owls and mind-boggling mysteries, so hop a boat down under and and bring your deerstalkers! This week, we're mashing up only-worthwhile-Zack-Snyder-movie-in-history Legend of the Guardians: the Owls of Ga'Hoole with classic, archetypical and darn-near-omnipresent detective Sherlock Holmes. Come join us for a story so grand that it could only be told by the convenience store savant himself: filmmaker SNACK ZYDER.
