    Skin Deep

    Skin Deep

    It's 'bout time for body horror! If you can stomach it, this episode is guaranteed to make your skin crawl. For the 2nd part of our TRIGGER WARNING TWIN BILL original improv duology, we give ourselves the willies when we dare to poke more than SKIN DEEP.

    Never Kill the Dog

    Never Kill the Dog

    There's no limit to imagination but to write a story well, it's a good idea to keep some "rules" in mind--like avoiding clichés and preventing plot holes. But since rules are made to be broken, for the first part of our TRIGGER WARNING TWIN BILL original improv series, we blithely ignore the advice that good writers should NEVER KILL THE DOG.

    We Have Robocop at Home

    We started this podcast to imagine how we might "improv improve" our favorite pop culture stories if ever given the keys to the kingdom...but what if we broke bad and just %*@&ing RUINED a good story instead? In a twist that could only happen in Hollywood, we spend our nice episode cringing at the thought of what it would take to ruin a perfect movie like ROBOCOP!

Kinda stuck

After listening to my first episode I found myself stuck in an otherworldly void. I have my phone but can’t get through to any of my loved ones. I’m hoping that after leaving this review I’ll be set free. If no one hears from me again let my family know I love them.
