Way back on episodes 47 and 48 of the BTB Podcast the fellas took a trip "across the pond" as they say to jolly old South Korea as they covered the explosive Netflix hit Squid Game. Well it's been a hot minute and after the release of the second season (and apparenlty the third) Spencer decided now was the time to revisit hte old pals!

Last we saw, our plucky hero Gi-Hun had died his hair a nice shade of bright pink and was preparin...

It's a Boob Tube Boys episode something like 6 months in the making as the guys finally return to finish off the 80s supershow that is Airwolf! 

Van tells Brian and Spencer all about this Airwolf episode where our heroes hike up a rugged mountain with several of their wheelchair bound friends when a mysterious and dirty mountain hobo named "The Cat Man" appears and does exactly what you would think: he murders everyone

What's that? W...

Things that are cool as hell: Ernest Borgnine crankin' it, Wings Hauser doing a big, fat, Texan accent, Roy Starkey (the Chamber of Commerce's Man of the Year, 1985), The Admiral, and of course an attack helicopter with all sort of buttons that say things like "sidewinder" and "chaff"

Well guess what folks? This podcast episode features all of those things and all at once! That's because the BTBs are FINALLY covering the 80s espiona...

Sure Halloween has come and gone but that doesn't mean January isn't also a frightening time of year! So in honor of the terror of a brand new year the BTBs have once again written their own Creepy Pasta stories and will be reading them to one another. And on this episode there's a writing prompt so all three stories share a theme! That theme? Doppelgängers

The Boob Tube Boys already covered Columbo over 160 episodes ago... BUT THERE'S JUST ONE MORE THING! (Ooh that's the thing Columbo says!!!)

That one thing is that the BTBs want to cover Columbo again. That's all. So they do

In this one our heroic detective has to figure out how a short, horny little man with a silver tongue killed his writing partner. The duo of course are the creators of the hit series of mystery novels featuring Mr...

Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas! May everyone be devoid of osteoarthritis!

The BTBs have a bit of an abbreviated holiday schedule this year but they knew if there's one thing all BTB-heads out there needed, it's more David Boreanaz and more Bones. So Van takes the helm and leads everyone through the bone-dust infected halls of the Jeffersonian institute once again

This time around most of the cast is trapped in quarantine thanks to an eggn...

Think of the tallest person you know. No, no. Taller than that. OK are you thinking of Emmy Award wiining actor and activist James Cromwell? You know, the farmer from Babe (and presumably Babe: Pig in the City)? No it's someone else you say? Well then perhaps I could interest you in this extremely bizarre episode of the bounty hunter show Renegade?!

You see Cromwell decided that he was no longer content to be known as the star of Ba...

The Boob Tube Boys' favorite little bulldozer (and Hall of Famer!) Kathy Anderson is back and on the feed for the FOURTH time as the fellas once again head back to a time of wealth, prosperity, and peak American life (provided you fit into the very small niche of white people that the country was built for). It truly is a wonderful place to be!

This time around Kathy has acquired a magic set including a cool hat, magic wand, and "ma...

Last week when we first checked out SeaQuest DSV we learned about a man named The Regulator who had an ape friend named Verne (whom The Regulator tried to surgically install gills onto) and sold parts on the ocean’s black market. He tried to steal a dolphin so that the mammal could solve the theory of spherical evolution for him

Now if you just read that you probably figured there was no way this show could get weirder. Well it turn...

The Boob Tube Boys are dialing it up to 11 as they down some Red Bulls and take some poppers all to make it big in the shark infested waters that is the tech industry.

The Tubers hop back into Taxi once more to round out their coverage of one of network TV's saddest and dirtiest sitcoms. This week, Alex and Louie engage in a cab battle for the ages, one that threatens to shred the fabric of life itself (for Elaine, at least)

Brian quizzes Spencer and Van about their knowledge of taxi-based entertainments in between bouts of admiring Danny DeVito. Van provides some less-than-thrilling examples of c...

With the Motion Picture Men safely locked away in their gross movie cellar for another year, the Boob Tube Boys return to talk about the classic '70s sitcom Taxi, a show stuffed with comedy legends playing lovable losers

While Taxi was a staple of Brian's childhood viewing diet, Spencer and Van were unfamiliar until this very week. The trio talk about the show's historic fingerprint, the allure of grimy old New York, and the episode...

The Motion Picture Men wrap up their 2024 with a look at Neil Breen's Fateful Findings, the movie that boldly takes a stand against secret government and corporate secrets

Van's choice for MPM film is one of the darlings of the "so bad it's good" B-movie industry and it starts off with a literal bang as Dylan (played by Breen himself) is mowed down by a Rolls Royce in the middle of a crosswalk. But mystical powers that aren't ever a...

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
