Shelter From Oblivion
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. ...
Andy and Matt are back in the shelter....feels like they've done this before. 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 Nutrage...
Surf’s up, and so is our tolerance for absurd ‘80s nostalgia. Andy, Matt, and ever-delighted Lisa head back down to the shelter to take a deep dive into Back to the Beach (1987), where Frankie and Annette trade their squeaky-clean ‘60s image for a neon-soaked, self-aware fever dream. We've got Keebler Pizzarias and Pink Swimmingo Kool-Aid.
Deck the halls and head to the shelter for a Shelter from Oblivion Christmas spectacular! Your favorite man-children, Andy and Matt )(along with Lisa) take a festive dive into Pee-wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special, complete with fruitcake, fast songs, and more guest stars than you can shake a tinsel-covered stick at. We have white caps and Seagram's cranberry ginger ale.
Andy and Matt are back in the the shelter with Lisa for a spooktacular evening of Halloween recollection. We remember what Halloween was like when we were kids in the mid 80's. The costumes, the candy, staying out late, making trades, and avoiding all the fruit and toothbrushes. We also have Lisa reading listener submitted Halloween stories. Join us for a spell. We have Pumpkin-face gum and 7-Up Gold. Happy Halloween Everyone! Son...
Andy and Matt head down to the shelter to have a quick chat about some fun and funny commercials from the 80's. We learn about writer, director, animator, artist and Honda lover, Carl Urbano. And then we talk about that time a memorable cast of 60's TV icons came together to sell...burgers and fries?! This is an episode not to be missed. We have McDonalds apple pies and Strawberry Quick.
Animator Carl Urbano for Honda 1987
Your boys (and Lisa) have made it! We are heading to Beverly Hills, baby! Which looks eerily similar to the Shelter From Oblivion. In this episode, we’re donning our troop badges and taking a fabulous hike down memory lane with 1989's Troop Beverly Hills! So come on down, Troop fans, and join us as we set up camp and call room service. We’ve got Capri Suns and Tiger Tales!
We head back down to the shelter to go head to head about who were the best dogs of the 80's. There are party animals, crime fighter, Franken dogs, space pups....and all manner of other 4 legged friends. Who will win best in show? You be the judge. Lisa is back as well, to spit facts with her special brand of sass. So come down a join us. We have boxes of original cookie crisp and mug root beer!
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 sh...
We head down to the shelter to dissect the lyrics of some of the best pop rock hits of the 80's. Are the amazing hooks of these 80's wonder songs covering lyrics that make you say...wait, what now?! Come down and join in, we have Zagnut bars and Slurpees.
We head on down to the shelter to reminisce about building blanket and cardboard forts, trying to start monster clubs, and we discuss our favorite forts, hideouts and clubhouses from pop culture. Join us! We have grape soda and razzles.
Andy and I go down to the shelter to reminisce about the video store era. We talk membership cards, Standees, box covers, late fees, renting VCRs, what's behind that beaded curtain and much MUCH more. Join us. We have licorice and A & W root beer.
Matt and Andy head down to the shelter to reminisce about the 1989 Joe Dante classic The 'Burbs. You know, that Tom Hanks movie you rented 5 or 6 times in the summer. Come down with us!
