Yo! This week Ray’s costar from “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” Corey Jordan McKinnon comes on so he and the punx can compare the film and the version of the play they were in. They talk heartache and video games (much to Ray’s chagrin) acting and stunt work. Let’s get it.

Yo! A few months back our Homies from the Walloping Websnappers podcast asked Ray to be on to talk about the episode of the ‘67 Spider-Man cartoon “Pardo Presents!” It was super fun and they talk extensively about this nonsensical episode.

A kaiju cat with paralyzing eyes? A wizard with magical energy powers? An electronic werewolf? ...Or were-cat?! Raymond Strife from The Aging Punks joins us for the most incoherent episode of the 60s Spider-Man show, where a green-skinned Burl Ives-inspired magician named Pardo sends out his eye-beam-shooting giant black cat that...might be a robot? Or an energy being? Or Pardo himself? We talk about the hilariously egregious repeated sequences and frozen audiences, and how every act of this bizarre episode seems to be written by a different person.
We're watching Spider-Man (1967): Season 2, Episode 11:
"Pardo Presents"

This is a big one Punx, this week the guys tackle the existential crisis that is “Synecdoche, New York” Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Michelle Williams. A New York inside a New York. I think I’m dying. I am humiliated. The eyes are a part of the brain. This is a great episode.♥️

Ray was in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” at Kelsey Theatre so he’s not on this one. In his absence the other two punks take a swing at the Chuck Norris classic “Sidekicks.” This is part of “In Memorium” month! RIP Chuck and Jonathan Brandis. They also talk video games and play a game to figure out who would be the perfect sidekick. Spoiler: Eric has never heard of most fictional characters in film.

Big time director and cohost of “the Film Blerds” podcast, Jeff Stewart returns! He and the aging jerks take on possibly the greatest action movie of all time “Die Hard with a Veangence”! Ray goes on a rant. Ricky makes two startling confessions. Eric doesn’t let Ray introduce him. Yippie ki yay, mother punker.

It’s A Ricky and Ray sans Eric Joint. Fallout. Is TV still good? Prostate exams. “Escape from the Planet of the Apes” is it a zany comedy or a brutal tragedy? This week listen to the longest and nerdiest conversation you’ve ever heard.

E. Grizzly returns! And this time he brought a Julie. Shaia LeBouf, king or menace? When was the last time you got in a fight? Harold & Maude. Eric’s seen it. Ricky hadn’t. There’s some tears. Grizzly does a song.
