Sometimes “What Could Go Wrong?” is just the title of our podcast. But sometimes, like this last week, it’s just a question we ask over and over. Or, more correctly, we ask “What Else Could Go Wrong?” The week leading up to this episode was laden with tricks and traps, screw-ups and let-downs, disappointments and all-out catastrophes. And then it was Tuesday. Even as we type, we hit Save Draft every twenty seconds because who knows when the computer is going to crash yet again. We lost our hard drive this week, and all the myriad treasures it contained, so we’re scraping by as best we can to put out this computer-created internet talk show. But none of that is meant as an excuse. When life hands us lemons, we suck ’em, and then do our podcast with a happy pucker. So join us in our defiance against the forces of bumming out and we can all be happy puckers together.
Curly the renegade goat has come home, so take down those yellow ribbons everybody. Life can finally begin anew. Unless you’re Paula Deen, of course, in which case it’s time to begin your diet anew. We learn this week that people on reality shows are creeps (NEWS FLASH!), court reporting is best done with puppets, and that you can rob a place with a staph infection. What you can’t do is jam cell phone signals to keep kids from cheating on tests or make your high school mascot some broad over 40 that likes to bang the lawn boy. My but the news can be so educational sometimes.
From the depths of the Amazon jungle and the cesspit that was 1980 comes the film for this week’s Bad Movie Review, Cannibal Holocaust. Luka calls this controversial film that put it’s director in jail and had him up on murder charges a Good Unintentionally Bad Movie. To this day, there’s still debate over just how much of this shock-horror classic is real and how much is movie trickery. Sadly, many animals were harmed in the making of this film, and among the many horrific images that might haunt you after viewing, we doubt you’ll ever be able to sit down to a bowl of turtle soup again.
This guy Dante (no relation) thought he’d do a little DIY brain surgery while he was building a shed. Looks like he nailed it.
Curly the Renegade Goat is back home, safe and sound. After 25 days in the wilderness, his owners have promised never to make him attend church again.
From Skullard’s Postcard Collection: I’m not sure if I should send this to Paula Deen, or if Paula Deen should send this out to her viewers.
All rise for . . . The Puppet Court!
Even though you are hungry after a tough morning at school, it is important not to be a Mr. Bungle in the lunchroom. Please observe this week’s educational short; Lunchroom Manners (1959)!
