MBMBaM 668: A Honeypot for Rita Repulsa

We've run out of search engines, so we’ve sent the spiders out crawling around for new things, and what they've discovered is that we curse a lot.

MBMBaM 664: Great Ass Wonkabater

MBMBaM 662: The Consequence Rate

We know sometimes the advice we give is unusual, but we would have a 100% success rate if people just followed it.

MBMBaM 659: Dom Jeans

You know, when we first made this deal with the djinn where we have to talk about Star Wars every May 4th in exchange for eternal life, it sounded like a great deal.

Strap in, y’all, we’re getting intellectual in this one.

It seems like the Tetris movie is getting critical acclaim, but it’s definitely not the adaption we were expecting so, hear us out: We’re pitching our own twisted version.

We’re so sorry about last episode. It turns out we had on a role-player and not the real Sir Daniel Michael Blake Day-Lewis.

We’re FINALLY bringing that energy. The kind of energy you find in a one-drink coffee shop someone invested all of their life savings into. The kind of energy you bring to impersonate your grandma.
