That jelly cost FIFTY-NINE cents!

Hey listeners! Rhea here.  Anyway, I did a little digging and found some nice companion photos to go with our most recent episode, the interview with my Dad. Take a look!

Here's the UP (that's Union Pacific) magazine photo of the Alabama Boogie Band.  My Dad's on the far right.

And here's a close up of the painting of poor Randy done by my Dad's friend Jim.

Ad for the Hubris Tech performance.

Dear Andy.

That's all for now, folks!

Episode 4: The Mike Perry Episode Starring Kelly Dowhower

This week, Rhea and Destiny interview an original weirdo: Kelly Dowhower! He's a musician, former performance artist, and Rhea's dad! Find out how many of his ex-bandmates from North Platte are dead now! We also build a shrine to Mike Perry (@ILikeMikePerry) of OK Party Comedy. Other topics of conversation include Downton Abbey, YA literature, and whether Bob Balaban is a better director than David Lynch. Number of "fucks" this episode: 10 (we fell behind). Also, special thanks to Rhea's dad for writing the scary music box theme (which you can hear at the beginning and end of the episode)!

Corrections: The duck on Tiny Toon Adventures is named Plucky Duck. Bruce Greenwood is the actor Rhea couldn't think of when she was talking about that new show, The River on ABC. Also, Kelly's friend was Steve Sinner, not Steve Main. (BG would like to acknowledge how fitting Steve's last name is to his personality.)

Episode 3: Pizza Cutter Murders

This week, Destiny and Rhea talk about what influences their humor and why. They also bring up a handful of topics that are sure to inspire nerd-rage between even the closest of friends. Topics include the following and more: Is Torchwood better than Doctor Who? Which Simpsons season was the last good one? Do horror movies need to be funny? Give it a listen, clip your toenails, and tell us how you feel! We also want to know what you think about comedy and where your humor comes from: Badlandgirls at gmail dot com. Number of "fucks" this episode: 22

Spoiler Alert for the Following Film:

Pink Flamingos

Corrections: The kooky old movie Rhea refers to was called At the Earth's Core (1976). We forgot that Divine's son who kills Cookie in Pink Flamingos is named Crackers. Pee Wee's Playhouse was not canceled because of Paul Reuben's 1991 arrest, but the reruns definitely were. South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut came out in 1999 and Destiny was in the 8th grade. Ned and Stacey was a Fox show, not NBC. The proper lyric to the Zorak song is "I'm gonna kick your ass until your head falls off." Dennis Miller has 4 books of his rants and is still giving them.

Spoiler alert for the following films:
Myth of the American Sleepover
The Adjustment Bureau

Corrections:  Rhea is not too fat for TV; she's just too good for that shit. She also loves to eat and gives no fucks to society’s weight standards for women (DONUTS FOREVER!). The Nikki Blonsky Lifetime movie is called Queen-Sized. The Downton Abbey tweet that Destiny failed to quote properly (and incorrectly connect to the magic that is The Wire) was from the very hilarious comic/tv writer Morgan Murphy and read, "Downton Abbey makes white nerds tweet like Kanye." Everyone should follow her. The writer/director/co-star of Bellflower is named Evan Glodell. This dude's name is seriously Channing Tatum. The "Mary Moon" song Destiny mentioned from the Dumb and Dumber soundtrack is actually called "New Age Girl" and is by the band Deadeye Dick. She is shocked she still remembers most of the lyrics. John Hawkes played the cult leader in Martha Marcy May Marlene and was also in Winter's Bone.

It's finally here! Rhea and Destiny introduce the "conversation-cast," get all talky about John Waters, feminism, horror film, and America's favorite character actor, Bob Balaban. Number of “fucks” in this episode: 15.

Spoiler alert for the following films:
Re-Animator
Prom Night
Overboard
But not Terror Train, because Rhea got it confused with Night Train to Terror

Corrections: The Jake Gyllenhaal/Jared Leto homoerotica fest is called Highway, not Freeway. JoBeth Williams was the actress who played the homicidal girlfriend in Switch (Destiny couldn't remember her name). Terror Train and Night Train to Terror are two different movies, so sorry, Siskel and Ebert. The upcoming Elizabeth Olsen movie Destiny brings up is called Silent House. Watch the trailer because it's flipping sweet.
