    MILF Manor

    MILF Manor

    IN THEORY, watching and discussing MILF Manor is a side-splitting romp full of memes and hilarious banter. IN PRACTICE, watching and discussing MILF Manor is an awkward, borderline nauseating experience that plumbs the depths of reality television and highlights the most grotesque fascinations of society at large. GILF (guest I'd like to...) Sasha Kalra helps us get through it.

    That 90s Show

    That 90s Show

    Hello Wisonsin!!! We were skeptical when Netflix announced they were bringing back (most) of the original cast from That 70s Show for That 90s Show, but it turns out it's not all bad — just don't talk about That 80s Show. Returning guest Katie Brioux joins us to discuss what works and doesn't work about the much anticipated reboot, how people weren't nice in the 90s, and we take a Buzzfeed quiz to determine what kind of 90s kid we were. (Also the thumbnail is of Aidan as a kid wearing a Kurt Kobain shirt while cutting his first communion cake — can't get more 90s than that!)

    How I Met Your Father

    How I Met Your Father

    When the 2020 Lizzie McGuire reboot at Disney+ went awry due to "creative differences", Hilary Duff took her talents to another reboot: How I Met Your Father. Special guests Will Reid and Jorge Vasconez join us to discuss the surprisingly charming (and far less problematic) spiritual successor to HIMYM. Also discussed: Selena Gomez's celebrity kidney transplant and a runner who got caught cheating in a marathon in the most dumb way possible.

    WB Superstar USA

    WB Superstar USA

    It's American Idol from bizarro world — a singing competition show that aims to find the worst singer in America. Fittingly, our special guest is Kyle Wildfern, a musician and member of rap collective, Waycool. Together, we pick apart what is probably the most mean spirited show we've watched on Bad Pilots so far. We also discuss our favorite music conspiracy theories.

    Space Force

    Space Force

    Arguably the worst part about Donald Trump's presidency was when he unwittingly inspired Greg Daniels and Steve Carrell to collaborate on Space Force, a sadly unfunny stab at satirizing the newly created military branch of the same name. Special guest Alessia Musso blasts off with us as we hurtle toward the final frontier in search of jokes.
