Rebootleggers

This week we're joined by special guest Brock Wilbur, who brings us his idea to reboot The Boxcar Children. What starts out as a maybe-gritty reboot quickly turns into a show about self-entitled hipsters who find mysteries where none exist, and definitely murdered their own grandpa. So we guess it's still kind of gritty.You can find Brock on twitter, his website, or on one of these several podcasts he co-hosts:The Coolest Kids: A podcast about emo music, hosted with previous guest Terence Wiggins!Caring Into the Void: A self-care/horror podcast hosted with Jordan ShiveleyMissouri Loves Company: A show about politics in Kansas City, hosted with Brock's wife Vivian Kane See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week we reboot Get Ed! Many of you may not remember it, or even have heard of it in the first place, but Scott watched it on Jetix in 2005 when his family finally got cable for the first time, but his dad only got it because it was bundled with internet, and so they only had basic cable which means they didn't have Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon so the only cartoons options he had was Toon Disney.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTETJnO4coE See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week we're joined by Very Good™ guest Terence Wiggins!

We're back just in time for Independence Day! What better way to celebrate than with some revisionist history? This week we adapt an episode of Ancient Aliens (specifically season 3, episode 11), in which it is revealed that aliens maybe might have potentially had a hand in the founding of America. Only in our movie it's 100% for sure because George Washington himself is a space alien. USA! USA! USA! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
