Swish Edition

This long-running comedy and pop culture podcast launched in October 2010. The "Swish Edition" is hosted by Scott Wallis from his 'secret underground studio' in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Robbie Barnett, coming to you from just outside Walla Walla, Washington. The weekly show features news and snarky commentary on the entertainment industry, travel, marketing trends, crazy celebrities, crazier criminals, people behaving badly, and much more. Scott, along with the now-retired Dale Blades, originated the show in Washington, D.C., before moving to Las Vegas in 2018. Episodes have been heard in over 144 countries, have featured hundreds of guests from all walks of life, and, once upon a time, the show reached the top 2% of Apple Podcasts' comedy list. New episodes drop every Wednesday.

You’re Gonna Need a Bigger Podcast In honor of National Hot Dog Day, Scott and a reluctant Robbie (‘cause he doesn’t eat real hot dogs, doncha know), are talking about Pringles’ new line of Pringles-flavored hot dog buns (say what?!); Jenifer Lewis’ “Jackie’s Back!” mockumentary is also celebrated today, Jackie Washington Day; a California Chinese restaurant levies fees if your kids act a fool; Pepsi apologizes for a funny social media post, because people are too sensitive these days; we don’t have any love for Meta’s Threads because we don’t understand why it exists; and, we talk about “Jaws” again (because we’re always going to do that, especially in the Summertime) and how even actors who had tiny bit parts are still capitalizing off the shark attack classic. But that’s not all. folks! We also talk about a new “Nightmare on Elm Street” that’s been green-lit at Paramount; another sequel to 1992’s erotic thriller “Basic Instinct” is coming, this time written by the original movie’s screenwriter, Joe Eszterhas; you can buy Bruce Wayne’s Wayne Manor from the 1960’s television show (but the Batcave is not included, sadly); a naked stand-up comedy show kicked off a naked bike ride in Chicago this past weekend (why?); the first-ever FIFA halftime show is happening this coming Sunday afternoon (along with a soccer game, supposedly); and, we pay tribute to singer Bonnie Tyler and actor Sam Neill, who both left u s this past week. It’s a lot, y’all, but it’s a super fun, all-over-the-map conversation.

A SWISH EXTRA - The “Michael” Biopic Review 04/28/2026

A SWISH EXTRA - The “Michael” Biopic Review The new “Michael” biopic from director Antoine Fuqua and writer John Logan—produced and approved by the (majority of ) the Jackson family—is genuinely a feel-good, sing-along inspiring ride. However, even though it’s the biggest film opening of 2026 so far, it is not a hit with professional critics; many have pointed out misaligned timelines and the blaring omission of key people, events, and controversies that made up a significant part of the King of Pop’s first 30 years. That aside, we enjoyed the film, and agree the casting and acting are spot on, especially when it comes to Jaafar Jackson as Michael. He uncannily manages to channel the well-documented mannerisms, speaking and singing voices, and even the innovative dancing style of his late uncle. We recommend the movie whether or not you are, or were, a diehard Michael Jackson fan. But we have a warning: what you will be getting is a sanitized version of what really happened (his own daughter, Paris, has publicly said as much). We are also looking forward to the much-anticipated—and now certainly green-lit, though unannounced—sequel that will cover his 30s and 40s. Unfortunately, however, we know how that movie will end. In this ‘Swish Extra,’ we’ll break down the movie and tell you what we think about the biggest celebrity biopic of all time, now playing at a theater near you. NOTE: Do we need a spoiler alert for a uber-documented global superstar’s biopic? Yes, we talk about EVERYTHING. If you want to know nothing, like Scott did before he went to the theater, see the movie first, then come back to our in-depth discussion. _________ Stream, download, and subscribe to the audio version of the show on most popular podcast distribution apps and sites, such as Spotify, iHeart, Apple Podcasts, Audible, YouTube Music, and Podbean.
