    MBMBaM Presents: The Great Switcheroo of 2015

    Oh no! All the hosts of all the podcasts on Maximum Fun done got ate up by a twister, and ended up landing in each other's podcasts this week! We didn't let inclement weather slow us down, though -- we're just going to go on ahead and do the podcasts where we ended up. That means this episode of MBMBaM features MaxFun proprietor Jesse Thorn, Wham Bam Pow co-host Rhea Butcher and International Waters host Dave Holmes, who are here to talk about corn mazes, blood moon demon babies and, naturally, ghosts. If you're looking for the McElroy brothers this week, it looks like the tornado set them gently down into the studio of Jordan, Jesse, Go!

    Mannequin w. River Butcher

    In which we and our wonderful friend River Butcher go to 80s Philadelphia to sneak in some delightful hang-time with Meshach Taylor, Kim Cattrall, Estelle Getty and James Spader, Andrew McCarthy, and Andrew McCarthy's moped. We give a bit of disclaimer in the intro, but we hit a little snag with the audio on this one and so we had to use the backup. Think of it as a Zoom meeting at work, only it's with us and River Butcher talking about Mannequin instead and your boss isn't there. Believe it or not, we'll follow this up with another episode about Mannequin 2 in April AND ANOTHER about The Iron Claw! Hey! Thank you SO MUCH for supporting You Are Good! You, my friend, are good!
