    FEED DROP: Scrambled Transmissions

    FEED DROP: Scrambled Transmissions

    SURPRISE! Adam started his own podcast, and it has joined the AUX family. It's called Scrambled Transmissions, and it's about anthology television shows (Twilight Zone, Black Mirror, Perversions of Science, etc). You can listen to it wherever fine podcasts are found.


    We've decided to drop a sample episode in this feed in which Adam has Blake on as a guest, and they talk about the very first Tales from the Crypt episode, "The Man Who Was Death." They also discuss vigilantism and some other deep shit. Also, some parts are funny!


    Shelf Life will be back next time with your regularly scheduled(?) programming.

Hilarious

This is a super funny podcast! I am not even into marvel legends, and I still look forward to ever episode they release.

Wondra1999 ,

More fun than a funko pop

Great discussion of adult collectibles. We need another episode with the Arnett bros.

bertobob ,

Life in plastic IS fantastic!

Come for the toy talk, stay for the banter.

Or come for the banter, and stay for the toy talk.

You know what.... just come. Come multiple times.

Once you let Adam and Blake into your dear little ears, you’ll never want them to leave.
