Matt and Andy are two guys taking a break from today in yesterday. Come down to the shelter and escape for awhile. We talk about movies, television, cartoons, toys, and a ghostbusters containment unit full of pop culture touchstones. My Pet Monster runs our board and we never run out of snacks. Join us.
SNL just celebrated 50 years, so Andy and Matt (with Lisa taking the day off) are hunkering down in the shelter to salute comedy’s most legendary rejects. This episode shines a spotlight on the stars who got turned away from SNL only to bounce back and create cultural icons. From Jim Carrey’s In Living Color antics to Pee-wee Herman’s Playhouse madness, we’re celebrating the underdogs who flipped rejection into red-carpet careers. Sometimes “Lorne said no” means “the world gets something better.” We have Keebler Sour Cream and Chive Tato skins and Orbitz!

We Shelter in Danny Rubin's Groundhog Day

Join them as they deep dive into Groundhog Day (1993), comparing Danny Rubin’s original script to the film that had Bill Murray reliving February 2nd over and over and over again. Lisa, our ever helpful A.I. assistant will be on full alert to fix any factual mistakes the boys make. Bing! So put your little hand in mine and let get going. We’ve got Nutrageous bars and Clearly Canadian!

We Shelter in Mr. Mom (Mother's Day Special)
Well this is our very very late Mother's Day episode. So late its now past Fathers Day. So we thought the best way to celebrate Mother's Day is to watch Mr. Mom, a movie about a man that learns how hard it is to be one. Now-a-days we would just call the movie Mr. Parent, but this was 1983 folks. You will also meet Lisa, our new AI voice assistant. She's a clever bot that LOVES her job. She's going to fit right in. Join us in the shelter today. We have grape bonkers and that blue soda in the glass bottle that you only bought once just to finally see what it tasted like.
