Needless to Say...

This week, all four guys are back together to celebrate a unifying Super Bowl halftime performance that brought America together. (Or something like that, anyway.) But then they also spend a few minutes explaining why they didn't review "Blacula" for this month's movie, ultimately reviewing it anyway.  -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily  www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

Any week that has two different discussion topics involving trenchcoats (and the types of people that would wear trenchcoats) is bound to be a good one. How it ties into weather-predicting rodents? Well, you'll just have to tune in. -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily  www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

Aphantasia. Look it up. (Don't worry, we'll wait.) This week, the guys dive deep into a world without mental fantasy, and what that might mean for their precious alone time. The last time they covered something like this, there was a foreskin revolt on all their socials. So, buckle up.  -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily  www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

It's cold. It's snowy. It's the perfect setting for another deep dive into a Tubi Treasure. This time, 1987's legendary "Robot Holocaust" ... which features very few robots, no sign of a holocaust, and surprisingly active commuter traffic in Brooklyn. It's another classic we'll probably be discussing again at year's end... but we'll let you decide that. -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #tubitreasures #robotholocaust www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

This week, the guys got together to honor Craig and Matt's grandmother, reflecting on how she influenced and inspired the family's collective sense of humor. So, tune in, raise a glass, and pay tribute to a woman who might indirectly be to thank (blame?) for this podcast.  -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily  www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

If a podcast makes suggestive jokes in its episode descriptions, certain fruit-named companies make life difficult. So, given what you know about the guys, how two of them work alone in basements, and how all four of them spend their ... ahem ... alone time, you can do some pretty quick math here.  -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #guiltjerk www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

Hollywood's new biggest night is here! Okay, not Hollywood, exactly. But it's definitely a huge event for those who make movies that don't bother with things like "theaters" or "audiences." On what will be an epic night for Tubi, the guys are celebrating all the year's movie reviews with a thrilling awards show. Did your favorite horrible movie make the cut? Tune in and find out. -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #awardsshow #movieawards #tubi www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

Tradition means everything around the NTS offices, especially when it comes to the holidays. So, anyone seeking surprises might be disappointed. But those who like fake Jeopardy, a few memories, and a group-led Christmas story? Yeah, you're digging in the right stocking... Merry Christmas, y'all... -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #christmasepisode #christmasspectacular www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

Matt is gone! Well, for two weeks anyway. But that didn't stop the other three from bringing a little bonus Christmas cheer, where they discussed Christmas movies, songs, traditions, "decolonization," and Matt's journey through the arctic tundra. Consider it a gift from them to you. Feeling festive yet? -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily  www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

Before Matt left for his new job training, the guys got together and somehow revisited some of this show's finest moments all over again. Craig splitting his pants? Check. Circumcision? Check. Holiday spirit? Check check check. Have at it, kids.  -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily  www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

This week, the guys are joined by their good buddy Corey, who didn't come empty-handed. He brought a case of good beer, a can of horrendous beer, and a movie so bad that the horrendous beer tasted better. The movie? A little-known classic that goes by "Hellhole." We'll leave the rest to your imagination. -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #tubitreasures #hellhole www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

Three-fourths of NTS got together on a late Saturday night to discuss a few things, notably Matt's new job, but also engaged in some deep discussions about life, death, and the human condition.  Mostly that second part... -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com  

So, we heard from several dozen of you (okay, just one of you, several dozen times) that the individual recaps were just too difficult to listen to. Because of this, we got together to record our own thoughts summarizing a HUGELY successful weekend with the greatest nerds on earth. Back to normal next time, but for now, enjoy our thoughts as we bookend our best annual event. -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #RICC2025 #ComicCon #ricomiccon  www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

Our RI Comic-Con recaps come to a close with one of the finest interviews we've done, renowned cartoonist, known nationwide for bringing the world "Sour Grapes," Mr. Tim Jones. We spent a few minutes discussing his art, the event, and about a million other things. For all the drunken laughs we enjoyed that weekend, these were possibly the most rewarding. (Any connections between Aesop, the miserable flying dog protagonist of the comic, and our own Brad, are purely coincidental.) -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #RICC2025 #ComicCon #ricomiccon #sourgrapes #timjones www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

As the Rhode Island Comic-Con weekend drew to a close, we made sure we spoke with connections old and new. None of them older or cooler than our long-time friend (and housemate) Cedric from the Official True Story Bro Podcast. That show might be on a bit of a hiatus, but that didn't stop Temu Omar Epps from getting things done. -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #RICC2025 #ComicCon #ricomiccon #officialtsb www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

We meet a lot of kids at Comic-Con, which is to be expected. But when Sophie arrived at our table, we had no idea what was about to happen. This dedicated cosplayer is also likely to win big at life, as evidenced here, where she shamed four middle-aged idiots with sheer intelligence. -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #RICC2025 #ComicCon #ricomiccon www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

The guys may not have many friends outside of Comic-Con, but they usually manage to make a few good ones within the walls. Some of you may remember our buddies at clothing and art designer Ghost Toad... well, they were back, in force. Listen and buy their stuff! -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #RICC2025 #ComicCon #ricomiccon #ghosttoad #tonypetrarca www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

As you can imagine, RI Comic-Con is full of colorful characters. But now and then, we meet someone who just GETS IT. Which is why we had such a good time hanging out with Abel and her father. For those of you wondering why there are two spellings of the name, just listen and see for yourself.  -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #RICC2025 #ComicCon #ricomiccon www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

RI Comic-Con is always a blast. But it's even better when longtime friends stop by. Since we don't actually have any friends, we're grateful that Chuck and Brad from the Funbearable podcast pinch hit instead. -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #RICC2025 #ComicCon #ricomiccon #funbearable #chuckandbradpodcast www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com

For every good RICC cosplay, there's 1,000 bad ones. This year, the bar was raised, thanks to a dedicated "Neverending Story" fan costume and puppet show that blew our jaded minds. They still killed that horse, though... -- #comedypodcast #humorpodcast #funnypodcast #darkhumor #podernfamily #RICC2025 #ComicCon #ricomiccon www.needlesstosaypodcast.com www.ntspodcastgear.com
