2024 in Review: Doomed Planet's Frightening Fifth Season
Doomed Planet
#119: A celebration of the great and not so great people that left us last year. The lovely thing about obituaries is that they are a joyous remembrance for those that made the world a better place. Obituaries fill us with even more joy by reminding us that people who were evil can no longer inflict pain and suffering upon humanity. PLUS: A look back at Doomed Planet season 5, where we tackled unpleasant subjects such as the America's Most Wanted reboot, PornHub, the new Road House movie, Kamala's crusade of cringe, fentanyl voyeurism and Zapped - a story about aliens who assassinate bad...

Here Comes the Memestock Presidency
Doomed Planet
#118: Those who expected genocide supporting cop Kamala Harris to win the presidency are now unburdened by the November that has been. The memestock presidency of genocide cheerleader Donald Trump and his crypto-fascist crypto enthusiast sidekick Elon Musk begins on January 20. Kamala Harris voters chose to put their blinders on and ignore the horrors of the Biden/Harris presidency and now they are sad. The billionaires that run things will now ramp up their avaricious pillaging. The dying American empire has become a chaotic torrent of speculation, fraud and genocide. Caitlin Johnstone said...

Beer Violence! Product Placement in Road House 2024
Doomed Planet
Viewers of the Amazon MGM Studios remake of Road House are bombarded with images of beer brands including Blue Moon, Coors, Hamm's, Hop Valley, Miller and Pilsner Urquell - all owned by conglomerate Molson Coors. We have a gay old time reminiscing about the original Road House (1989) starring Patrick Swayze before examining the product placement strategies of Molson Coors. Road House 2024 is trashy, brilliant schlock with great acting, a silly story and countless scenes of brutal violence. Jake Gyllenhaal as a charming muscle-bound meathead punching his way through a beer intensive scenario...

Infamous Ithaca College Weirdos
Doomed Planet
#111: Alum and ad agency psychopath Jason DeLand will give the commencement address at Ithaca College next month, but did you know people even more famous than him also went to the school? Rod Serling taught there and ABC News hair farmer David Muir is an alum. The coolest guy to ever walk the halls of Ithaca College was, of course, Gavin MacLeod - captain of the Love Boat.

Zapped!
Doomed Planet
#110: Friend of the pod Elaine joins us to talk about Zapped! - the wild new (yet to be written) science fiction movie about space aliens that murder people they consider to be bad for the future of the human race. Politicians, abusers, polluters, corporate criminals ... they all get ZAPPED!
info_outline#107: A rebooted America's Most Wanted features original tough guy host John Walsh and his son, wearing matching leather jackets. The first episode opened with the story of the murder of Adam Walsh, of course. We allege that the case is unsolved and that John Walsh is still a suspect. Kidnap/rape victim and Elizabeth Smart was trotted out. Actors pretended to work the phones in the background.
PLUS: Fox-TV copaganda minister Stephen Chao helped create America's Most Wanted and Cops - where is he now? In hell?
AND: The origin story behind the Nirvana t-shirt with the smiley face logo that has taken TikTok by storm.
