Held prisoner by their bosses, the Drive-In Gods, they are tasked with programming a specially-themed double-feature for the ravenous hordes of mutants and madmen outside their projection room door.
Each episode, Brandon, Chris and a special guest-programmer plumb the depths of psychotronic cinema. Killer Robots! Satanic Terror! Hideous Freaks! Creepy Crawlies! No sub-genre will be left unearthed! Three flicks get thrown into the ring, but only two can make it to the slime-splattered screens of the Dead City Drive-In!

KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE | MEET THE FEEBLES | GHOULIES 2With Guest Programmer MATTHEW YOVINOSaturday mornings sure aren’t what they used to be! Long gone are the days of waking up early to shove our faces full of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs, eyes glued to the glowing screen in front of us, staring into a flickering void of programming featuring adults with their hands shoved up the asses of neon-furred puppets machine gunning each other into felt souffle. Those were the days! So, Brandon and Chris have decided to bring it back to the glory years, when puppets were perverts and klowns were killer!
