South Park, CO may be a quiet mountain town but decades on it remains the locus for satire, profanity, and the occasional doomsday prophesy. Friendly faces Dave Jackson (the Tales From the Backlog podcast) and comedians Rich Baker (@richbakercoaching) and Rolland Lopez (@rollandlopezvoiceactor) join us to go down to South Park and have ourselves a time with their 1999 musical feature outing that fully let Trey Parker and Matt Stone off the leash of basic cable.

Mel Brooks' crowning achievement, Blazing Saddles blazed a trail and confronts racism with equal parts ferocious satire and wild cartoon abandon. Writer/comedian/filmmaker Tarik Davis (@tarikrdavis) joins us to celebrate 50 years of this film's uncompromising hilarity and empathy. We are awake, but we are very puzzled.

RoboCop

1980s, 80s, action, detroit, dystopia, entertainment, film, horror, movies, paul veerhoven, peter weller, police, satire, scifi, veerhoven
Like RoboCop himself, beneath this film's flashy exterior lies turmoil and humanity. Guests comedian Rich Baker (@richbakercoaching) and Dan Oster (MadTV, A Podcast, But Evil) join us to investigate Paul Veerhoven's dystopian satire of dehumanization, but one that still manages to kick a lot of iron butt. I'd buy that for a dollar.
