  • Gettin' Blobbed by THE BLOB (1988) (with Jason Kleeberg)
    Jan 16 2024

    It's our second movie to feature a Blob after Blobby in Hotel Transylvania 3! At least, I think it's only the second. Let me check the backlog. ... Unless you count melting Gremlins as Blobs, then it's our third. JASON KLEEBERG (The Force Five Podcast) runs, doesn't walk, to join the boys at the movies to discuss everyone's favorite gelatinous movie monster in the 1988 remake of THE BLOB. Come for the story of a small town being terrorized by the gooiest killer ever made, stay for crazy gorey effects and an improv comedy legend's surprise appearance. Join them as they answer such questions as: Who's our favorite Blob? What's the best Rambo movie? How can we fix the MCU? What's our dream Blob sequel title? Could we make a new blob today? and Seriously, what the hell is Del Close doing here? among many others...

  • TRANSFORMERS REVENGE OF THE FALLEN: Inner Child, Take the Wheel! (With Chris Andersen)
    Dec 26 2023

    It's the SNOW Highway Option finale episode! We're playing with all of our Transformers that we unwrapped under the tree. I bet our pretend storylines were just as cohesive as what Michael Bay cooked up. CHRIS ANDERSEN (Uncle Monster's Spooky Time Fright Hour) joins the boys on a trip to New York, Paris, Philadelphia, vague totally-not-Penn-but-yeah-it's-Penn University, and Egypt as they hunt down Decepticons and discuss TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN. 2 of us have nostalgia for this movie in particular, while one has more nostalgia for the franchise as a whole. Because, honestly, who isn't nostalgic for Optimus Prime in some fashion? Join them as they answer such questions as: Can our inner child overtake a movie being bad? Does this movie have a prime demographic? Should Transformers be able to swim? How does this compare to the six(?!) other Transformers flicks? and How Bumblebee do that with his radio? among many others...

    Thank you for coming on, Chris! Be sure to check out UNCLE MONSTER'S SPOOKY TIME FRIGHT HOUR wherever you get podcasts, and follow Chris on Bluesky! (If you need a code to get on Bluesky, DM Connor he's got a few) NEXT WEEK: OOPS! ALL COMING ATTRACTIONS GAME 3/HAPPY NEW YEAR SPECIAL

  • THE SANTA CLAUSE-A-THON!
    Dec 24 2023

    That's right, we just watched almost 12 hours of content that was purely based on a legal pun. Our brains are at like 40% Tim Allen MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE! Join Connor and Luke through a North Pole journey as they watch THE SANTA CLAUSE, THE SANTA CLAUSE 2, THE SANTA CLAUSE 3: THE ESCAPE CLAUSE, and 2 seasons of Disney+'s THE SANTA CLAUSES. Thankfully, none of us transformed into a Santa Claus in the process. As far as we know, at least. Join them as they answer such questions as: Why does Tim Allen reference Barabbas? Is this still a parasite? Does being around Santa Claus make a person (Neil or Riley) dumber? What are our definitive Santa Claus rankings? Are the rules of the magic clear? and Do any of these pull off a Christmas miracle? Among others... TUESDAY: TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN with CHRIS ANDERSEN

  • The Only JACK FROST 25th Anniversary Acknowledgement (with John Dorsey)
    Dec 19 2023
    This movie has incredibly little to do with Christmas, but it's called SNOW Highway Option and the guy's made out of snow so... JOHN DORSEY (Superhuman Public Radio) speaks into a magic podcasting mic to summon the spirits of the boys to talk all about the 1998 family-friendly version of JACK FROST. That's right, he talked about the '97 Jack Frost in our first Snow Highway Option event, and now the '98 Jack Frost! Puppet snowmen, weird music, and a lack of antagonist abounds! Join them as they answer such questions as: Who was originally supposed to star and direct this? What commercials does this remind us of? Does this feature any surprise Rockstars? Has the snowman seen Hell? and Will we ever get another Jack Frost movie for John to come back for? among many others... Thank you for coming on, John! Be sure to check out SUPERHUMAN PUBLIC RADIO wherever you get podcasts! THIS SUNDAY: It's time for the SANTA CLAUSE-A-THON NEXT WEEK: TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN Thank you for listening!

  • VIOLENT NIGHT is Full of Childrens' Dreams!!! (with Percival Constantine)
    Dec 12 2023

    In this movie, Santa Claus (you know, the guy from the end of that one SpongeBob episode) kicks ass with a giant sledgehammer, just as you would expect from a Christmas classic.


    PERCIVAL CONSTANTINE (author, podcaster behind SUPERHERO CINEPHILES and JAPAN ON FILM) falls down the chimney to join the boys in an awkward hostage situation as they discuss 2022's action-comedy VIOLENT NIGHT. It's David Harbour as Santa beating the shit out of some goons as a kid does some hyperviolent "realistic" Home Alone traps. And it...really works?


    Join them as they answer such questions as: How cool is the idea of Norseman Santa? What actor is the character Morgan very obviously channeling? What's the easiest pitch for a sequel to this movie? Are there multiple women in Hollywood? and Could this become an annual watch for us? among many others...

    Thank you for coming on, Percival! Be sure to check out his WEBSITE for more information on SUPERHERO CINEPHILES and JAPAN ON FILM, and check out his upcoming comic series PARAGONS OF EARTH!

  • NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CHRISTMAS VACATION: Achieving he Perfect Ratio (with Josh Peters)
    Dec 5 2023

    IT'S TIME FOR SNOW HIGHWAY OPTION! HALLELUJAH! HOLY SHIT! WHERE'S THE TYLENOL?


    JOSH PETERS (partner of past guest Taylor Coan) pulls his RV up to the boys' house to empty his shitter into the sewer and to talk all about NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CHRISTMAS VACATION. Grab your favorite moose-shaped glass and your slipperiest food chemical, it's a fun one!


    Join them as they answer such questions as: Is Sheldon Cooper funnier as a kid or an adult? Does the sincerity in this work with the cynicism? Has Chevy Chase been in a movie we discussed on this podcast before? What's The Soup Movie? and You know that feel when you just put hog on glass in the middle of the night? among many others...

    Thank you for coming on, Josh! Be sure to follow him on TWITTER, check out his friends' band WALLED GARDEN, and shop at the COBOPOP SHOP! Tell 'em No Highway Option sent you!
