A Special Presentation, or Alf Will Not Be Seen Tonight

These are the last two Peanuts specials that Charles Schulz did and, boy, they're some weird ones! It's the Bestest Birthday Ever, Charlie Brown! and It's the Pied Piper, Charlie Brown! And technically he's an accordionist. For reasons.

You all know Blondie, right? You should, it's only been in the newspaper  for 100 years! This week, we look at two late 80s Blondie specials --  Blondie and Dagwood (1989) and Blondie and Dagwood's Second Wedding  (1989). For the first time ever, we learn the personalities of Blondie's  kids and also go on a big rant about Dilbert.

They've tried to bring Mad magazine to the screen many times, from MadTV to the infamous Mad movie Up the Academy... today we look at The Mad Magazine TV Special, probably one of the most solid efforts! Matt Keeley of Kitty Sneezes joins us to look at Mad's Auto Manufacturer of the Year, the Academy Awards for parents, the Oddfather, and more!

Oh no, the martians are invading!! This week, we're joined by Alex of Saucer Cinema and Dead Crustacean to talk about Tim Burton's magnum opus, Mars Attacks, based on the Topps trading cards and starring Jack Nicholson (twice!), Glenn Close, Pierce Brosnan, Lisa Marie, and Frank Welker (providing the Martian acks!) Does Burton capture the over-the-top mayhem of the original cards? Or should he have directed Topps' Dinosaurs Attack! instead? ACK ACK ACK ACK!!!
