Gleaming The Tube

We've covered a lot of bad movies on this podcast. Freddy Got Fingered may very well be the worst.Theme music is by Kissing Kontest Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

1987’s Summer School stars Mark Harmon as physical education teacher and shiftless layabout Freddie Shoop, who is assigned to teach remedial English summer school to a bunch of misfits and outcasts! Along the way, it’s possible that the KIDS are teaching Freddie Shoop as much as he’s teaching them! There’s also Kirstie Alley and a dog named Wondermutt. And a very tiny bit of skateboarding. Blink and you miss it skateboarding. Still, enough skateboarding for Kevin and Mike to saddle up to discuss the Dave and Chainsaw of it all. So break out your peanut butter and jelly (bread is optional) and maybe a chocodile or two and tune into the latest exciting installment of GLEAMING THE TUBE!Theme music is by Kissing Kontest Hosted on Acast.

One Battle After Another, which recently won Best Picture at the Academy Awards, tells a sprawling story about generational struggle, the relentless pursuit of ideological change, and the personal cost of activism. It's also got skateboarding in it, so Kevin and Mike have dusted off their microphones to take it on.Theme music is by Kissing Kontest Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

KPop Demon Hunters is a 2025 American animated musical urban fantasy film that is also the most-watched movie ever on the Netflix platform! The film follows a K-pop girl group named Huntr/x who lead double lives as demon hunters; they face off against a rival boy band, the Saja Boys, whose members are secretly demons. And there is a tiny bit of skateboarding in the film during a Huntr/x video so Michael and Kevin, of course, watched this movie. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're back for spooky season with a discussion of the vampire classic The Lost Boys! There's not a lot of skateboarding in this one but there are a lot of rat-licking punks, trash cans filled with flames, greased up saxophone players, obnoxious comic book store workers, and Coreys. So many Coreys. Kevin and Mike discuss all of this along with where we think this movie fits into the pantheon of vampire movies and how much we both loved Sinners from earlier this year. Sleep all day, party all night, never grow old, never die. It's fun to be a skateboard podcast. Happy Halloween!Theme music is by Kissing Kontest Hosted on Acast.
