Center of Weirdness
To kickoff the 2024 Halloween season, we're heading back to Springwood, Ohio, and discovering the origins of evil with the first episode of anthology horror series Freddy's Nightmares!

Friday the 13th: The Series - Night Prey
Center of Weirdness
For this very special Friday the 13th episode, we're finally covering Friday the 13th: The Series, and we're doing it in the same room! That's right, we actually recorded this in person, staring intensely into each other's eyes the entire time (and occasionally hissing at each other like the vampires in this episode). Why we chose this specific episode of the series to cover is for a very stupid reason, which we get into, as well as what happened to one of the stars later in life, what episodes of this series we probably should've covered instead, and tell stories of times we were on...

The Net - Last Man Standing
Center of Weirdness
On this week's episode, we're logging into 1990s cyberspace to discuss The Net, the one-season series based on the Sandra Bullock movie of the same name. This episode guest stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson which should come as no surprise when you learn it's about an underground cage fighting circuit broadcast over the internet. We talk bad technology, the ways ultimate fighting has fallen short of its potential, and figure out how to improve American presidential elections. Plus: Josh takes a trip to the computer store.

Acapulco H.E.A.T. - Code Name: Perfect Specimen
Center of Weirdness
It's still summertime and that means it's still HOT outside. So what better way to celebrate the heat than with some H.E.A.T.! On today's episode, we're discussing the mostly forgotten action-adventure series Acapulco H.E.A.T. We talk about the interesting folks in the cast, the characters' barely-used codenames, and cover this episode's nonsense super-soldier plot. We also chat about bad facial hair and weird euphemisms. It's a hot one! If you like the show, give us a rating on . And follow us on Instagram and Threads at (where you can suggest TV shows we should cover on the...

Wishman
Center of Weirdness
No one demanded it but we're here nonetheless to celebrate a momentous occasion: the 41st anniversary of the original broadcast date (June 23, 1983) of the absolutely bonkers failed TV pilot Wishman! When you hear the name Wishman, do you immediately think of a wish-granting genie? We did too, but oh how we were wrong. Instead we are presented with a bizarre Mac & Me-esque creature, with big eyes and gurgling vocals, who can control electricity when the plot dictates it. He's also a big pervert who likes spying on women in the shower and watching his adopted parents makeout. We...

Tequila and Bonetti - Street Dogs
Center of Weirdness
It's been a while but we're back (with an episode we recorded months ago)! This week, we're covering a show that's been on our list for a while: Tequila and Bonetti! What might seem like a simple gruff cop/cute dog series is actually way weirder than we expected. This includes hearing the dog's overly horny thoughts, watching our hero play an entire song on piano while seeing a montage that mostly has no bearing on the episode, and listening to the police captain frequently talk about a script he's writing. We also go long talking about all the other shows we want to cover on this...

Belvedere Boyz Ep. 1 - Stranger in the Night / Pilot
Center of Weirdness
This week marks a bold new direction for the show as we rebrand as the Belvedere Boyz and promise to cover all 117 episodes of 1980s sitcom Mr. Belvedere every week for the next two years. This is TOTALLY REAL and NOT A JOKE. In this inaugural episode, we cover the pilot and discuss the titular butler's supernatural ways. We also talk about a particularly pivotal moment in the Mr. Belvedere mythos. We hope you'll enjoy this new direction we're taking the show and will join us for the ride.

Cathy's Valentine
Center of Weirdness
What's that? A new episode of the podcast? We've been away for a while and we discuss why before getting into the surprisingly sweet TV special Cathy's Valentine (trust us, we were surprised we liked it too).

ALF - Turkey in the Straw: Part 1 & 2
Center of Weirdness
Things get dark this week as we discuss a very special ALF Thanksgiving two-parter. Along the way, we rail against midwesterners for not liking veggie meatballs, we discuss a very Brooklyn boy living in Southern California, and we recite a special Thanksgiving hymn (that definitely everyone knows!).

info_outlineOn this very special episode, we're joined by friend Christy Admiraal to discuss her favorite episode of her favorite television show: Boy Meets World's slasher movie homage And Then There Was Shawn. We talk scary janitors (who might actually be ghosts), our history with school detention, and celebrity heights.
