Intro Skippers

Opus (2025) starring Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich is now streaming on HBO Max. Despite not being a critical success in its theatrical run, we think this movie is a good watch, and sometimes, absolutely chilling!

This movie really connected to Kim (who has been in weird situations ostensibly to interview someone famous or important) and Jason less so (as a musician, not a killer cult leader). Is it an A24 film on your list?

Also, li...

It’s a minisode! Jason performed at 'AEW All In Texas' this weekend and tells the tale of that and what it’s like to sing theme music for wrestlers, Final Fantasy, and wrestlers who love Final Fantasy.

Kim has a San Diego Comic Con announcement that is somewhat less exciting than singing a wrestling hype-up song with pyrotechnics and a costumes choir. Somewhat.

Check it out, along with a strangely fun streaming recom...

Rage is maybe too strong a word, because we actually love this show. Yes, it’s boring, slow, has flat characterization, and only superficially handles important topics, but believe it or not, we love it.

What’s your favorite cozy watch? Your slow, easy-to-stomach story? And is it as out of character as ours?

We are also a video podcast! If you weren’t watching before, you can now on Youtube at youtube.com/@introskippers or on Spotify...

Trainwreck: Poop Cruise is exactly what it sounds like and more. Netflix’s “Trainwreck” anthology series brings us “Poop Cruise” and 7 other disaster-trainment features this summer! All aboard! Please head to the poop deck (all the decks are poop decks)!

What were you doing, Valentines Day 2013? If you were on the Carnival Triumph cruise in the Gulf of Mexico, you were, well, knee-deep in toilet lasagna. If you don’t know wh...

Pay. Your. Cheerleaders!!! Despite having no interest in sports, Kim loves the DCC in large part due to Netflix’s America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

Who knew about the intense pressure, demanding schedules, unique subculture, and low, low, very low pay for these professional NFL cheerleaders? We do, and so does the world, now. 

Will the cheerleaders ultimately win the battle to get some baseline respect and ...

Saturday Night (2024) from director Jason Reitman tells the story of the 90 minutes leading up to the first episode of Saturday Night Live in truly unbelievable fashion. It can’t be believed, you see, because it did not happen that way.

What matters more: reality or vibes? Truth or legend-creation? Saturday Night Live is a groundbreaking show that’s lasted 50 years and is sure to last more and Saturday Night…sure is a movie. It’s st...

Hacks is one of the best comedies streaming anywhere, but did season 4 uphold that and stick the landing? Since we’ve never talked about the show before, we’re giving a series overview!

And of course, since this is us, there are several side stories in between that are mostly related to comedy, music, and Hollywood. 

What did you think of Hacks season 4, and where else can Deborah and Ava go?

Casa Bonita is the Disneyland of Mexican restaurants and rules so hard: we know it, the creators of South Park know it, and basically all of Colorado knows it. 

We watched Paramount Plus’ Casa Bonita, Mi Amor, highlighting Matt Stone and Trey Parker on their journey to spend 40 million dollars on a strip mall Mexican restaurant stuck in the 70s. And we both went! Jason: pre-renovation, Kim: post-renovation/ new Founders Club.

We tal...

No normal episode this week because…we are busy! It happens, but to help fill the gap we are telling our true stories from trying to work in entertainment/performing arts. Basically, a lot of trial and error happens. David Lynch and Disneyland are involved today.

The Greatest Night in Pop is all about We Are The World, the 1985 song for charity by Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Harry Belafonte, Diana Ross, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Tina Turner, Bruce Springsteen and so many more famous people. So many. Like it’s ridiculous. 

This doc and the song are well worth your time; Kim and Jason talk about all the best and funniest moments of the footage.

From Tiktok, comes: Gentlemen Broncos!! You may have seen a clip from Gentlemen Broncos on your favorite short-form video site, but we actually watched it. Was it worth it?

Featuring the incredible Jennifer Coolidge and several Napoleon Dynamite Cinematic Universe players…this is a weird one. You down?

Y2K from Kyle Mooney, and starring Jaeden Martel, Rachel Zegler and FRED DURST brings the 00s nostalgia. And it was in theaters for only about 3 weeks, so, it’s primarily a streaming title!  

What were you doing in Y2K (if you were alive)? Did this movie give you the memba berries?

Mythic Quest was cancelled on Apple TV Plus and to fix everything, they promised to redo their Season 4 finale to become a series finale. Except they didn’t. Was the finale a bomb? Is there potential for future shows to just patch over streaming shows? And what about the lost media? 

Plus Jason and Kim discuss Side Quest, the video game focused anthology series tied to Mythic Quest and whether or not it could or should continue.

Here’s a hidden gem: The Goes Wrong Show! If you haven’t heard of the Broadway stage productions from this team, The Goes Wrong Show is a comedy series that you’ll probably love if you love practical comedy and general silliness.

Jason and Kim discuss what works, some favorite hits, and more. And this one has very low spoilers if you’re bothered by that kind of thing!

Plus: some true Hollywood stories are hidden inside!

NOTE: This po...

Despite audio in this very podcast saying this episode is airing Tuesday, we are dropping it now, because who has ever gotten mad at an early drop?

These are our instant reactions fresh off of watching the much anticipated White Lotus season 3 finale and in retrospect it all makes sense…except for the parts that kind of don’t. Did this finale make you feel things? Which character won, and which one got the strongest transformati...

The Electric State: is it as bad as the reviews are saying? Netflix, The Russo Brothers, Millie Bobby Brown, and Chris Pratt join together in an extremely expensive direct-to streaming movie. Was the $320 million spent worth it?

Is it “not that bad?” Do the ends justify the means? And is a mediocre movie worse in principle than a very very bad one? Has Kim ever been angrier???

We are breaking down The Electric State today on Intro S...

Episode 7:  Mythic Quest Season 4 Finale (Spoilers)

SPOILER ALERT. Big time discussion of THE thing from the finale. We break down the highs and lows of Mythic Quest Season 4 and Kim discusses why you absolutely can’t break embargo, as well as her experience interviewing the cast pre-season. 

Due to embargo rules, this episode had to drop Wednesday instead of our usual Tuesday, so you actually get 1.5 episodes this week! Also- what s...

Here’s a secret: this show is made completely independently and took quite a long time to come out! Jason and Kim go over the rejected music Jason composed for the show and why it was rejected. Do you agree with Kim (who self-admittedly doesn’t know anything about music)?
