    About this Episode

    In this episode, we watched an episode of the 2002 reboot of "The Twilight Zone," a show none of us knew existed, starring Jeffrey Combs as a hypochondriac who accidentally destroys the planet. This is a funny show... very 00s, with a strangely intense heavy metal intro and Forest Whitaker (!!!) as the host. Have you see this show? What did you think? Let us know in the comments! And for the love of God, please like and subscribe!

    Episode 47: I Still Know What You Did Last Summer

    Episode 47: I Still Know What You Did Last Summer

    For this episode of Combs Crew, we watched 1998's "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer," the pretty bad sequel to "I Know What You Did Last Summer." The film's title makes no sense, but then again, neither does the film's plot! Jeffrey Combs plays the snippy manager of a resort hotel in the Bahamas, where the film takes place for some reason. Have you seen this movie? What did you think?...

    Episode 46: Motivational Growth

    Episode 46: Motivational Growth

    In Episode 46 of "Combs Crew," we complain about MOTIVATIONAL GROWTH, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year! Okay! This movie has a lot of ideas, but in our personal opinion, we don't think it executed on those ideas very well. Warning: if you really love this movie, consider skipping this episode of Combs Crew, because we don't have a ton of nice things to say about this one...

    Episode 45: Death Falls

    Episode 45: Death Falls

    In this episode, we watched 1991's "Death Falls," a film about an old man who needs PANTS! Where are his PANTS? He steals some PANTS from another man, who then has no PANTS. Jeffrey Combs stars as Lonnie Hawk, a man who screams a lot. It's a great movie! Have you seen it? Let us know in the comments!

    Episode 44: Dead Man Walking

    Episode 44: Dead Man Walking

    In episode 44 of COMBS CREW, we watched "Dead Man Walking," a post-apocalyptic film where Combs and another guy walk, and sometimes drive, around a junkyard. It was pretty ok! Join us as we discuss the Combs's "Chaz," the amazing orange-haired villain Decker, and the tragic Pookie.

    Episode 43: Jake and the Fatman

    Episode 43: Jake and the Fatman

    For this podcast episode, we watched an episode of "Jake and the Fatman," a largely-forgotten crime drama that ran from 1987 into the early nineties. Jeffrey Combs plays a one-off villain named "Alan Shuba," who uses his majestic beard in order to break out of prison. It was a pretty good episode of television! Join us as we discuss this episode!

    Episode 42: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Weyoun Spectacular Part Two

    Episode 42: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Weyoun Spectacular Part Two

    For this episode of Combs Crew, we watched 100,000,000 episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, starting with the season 4 finale (when the Federation loses DS9 to the Dominion) and continuing until halfway through season 5 (when the Federation wins it back). It's a really great string of episodes, maybe the best in the whole show, with tons of Dukat, Rom, Odo, and of course, Weyoun!

    Episode 41: The Lurking Fear

    Episode 41: The Lurking Fear

    For episode 41, we watched "THE LURKING FEAR," a weird and inept H.P. Lovecraft tale where Jeffrey Combs plays "Doc Haggis," an alcoholic doctor who teams up with a woman named Katherine... for some reason... to destroy one or more zombies, or monsters, or demons, or something. This one wasn't so hot, but it was such a confusing mess that it was almost entertaining as a result!

    Episode 40: Necronomicon

    Episode 40: Necronomicon

    For our 40th episode, we watched "NECRONOMICON," a collection of three short stories where Jeffrey Combs plays H.P. Lovecraft with the help of some creepy facial prosthetics. It wasn't that bad, but it wasn't that great either!

    Episode 39: Abominable

    Episode 39: Abominable

    For episode 39 we watched "ABOMINABLE," a 2006 horror film about a bigfoot that terrorizes a cabin full of women while the main character, a wheelchair-bound man, watches helplessly from next door. It was OK! Jeffrey Combs plays the owner of a gas station and has a great scene with Lance Hendriksen. Also, a number of Seinfeld guest-stars make an appearance. It wasn't the worst thing we've seen, that's for sure! Join us as we discuss ABOMINABLE!!!

    Episode 38: She Spies

    Episode 38: She Spies

    In this episode, we reluctantly discuss an episode of "SHE SPIES," a pretty bad exploitative spy show from the 2010s. Jeffrey Combs plays a mysterious jewel thief named Indigo, and they made some, uh, interesting choices with the character. Basically, this show sucked!! But Jeffrey Combs was entertaining, as always!
