    About this Episode

    Goldwater Farms has been in decline for years. Since the death of his beloved wife, Joan, Josh Goldwater has lost his interest in farming, and only his friend and helper Gary still believes in him. But Josh’s fortunes change when a strange fruit appears on his farm, a fruit that seems to be related to the recent crop circles found around his property... What will the people in town think of “Joshberry,” and who else might be interested to know where this strange, delicious fruit came from?

    Minisode 116: Script Rippers!!! (Madame Web)

    Script Rippers Mike and Hobert are back, and their web connects them to Madame Web, a bafflingly bad installment in Sony’s extended Spider-Man-less Spider-Verse. Join the Script Rippers as they unpack the strange decisions that led to Dakota Johnson admonishing a picture of her dead mom for loving spiders too much, a lot of vehicular violence, and the reveal that Spider-Man is culturally Peruvian. Can they re-thread this twisted tale to become a Victorian thriller where every character is high on a mix of opium, cocaine, and spider venom? Yes!

    When their friend Emmett dies in a freak accident, hot-headed Angelo, meek but muscular Remy, and straight-laced Tyler come together to celebrate their friend, despite not being particularly close themselves. When a drunken attempt to do a seance brings the spirit of Emmett back, the four pals set out to give their dead best friend a proper send-off into the afterlife. Will a night of beer-chugging, flirting and mayhem bring Emmett the closure he needs, or are his friends the ones who need to move on from their own hang-ups?

    Minisode 115: Brothers on Brothers: The Brothers Solomon (2007)

    Sup, Bros? In this Please Make This Miniseries, host Hobert and his brother Andy discuss and review films about, for, or even by brothers. This time they shared some very off-putting smiles as they watched Will Forte and Will Arnett in The Brothers Solomon. The Brothers Solomon might have bombed, but you know what, it has its moments. Remember when they used to make smaller budget ensemble comedies? Now if they made The Brothers Solomon it would have to be called The Brothers Spider-Man, amirite?

    Gates of the Hellmouth (w/ Kerry Stevens)

    Gates of the Hellmouth (w/ Kerry Stevens)

    Lee and Desker are two slacker friends who prefer smoking weed in Lee’s basement and talking about their favorite fantasy novels more than pretty much anything else. For years they’ve dissected and discussed Alton P. Thornshire’s Gates of the Hellmouth series, but without the final book (banned by its publisher after a strange satanic incident) all they can do is guess how it ends. When Lee finds book six in a closing book store in the town’s rundown mall, the pair discover a mystery closer than they could have ever imagined. What lies under the foundation of the mall, and who else is looking for it?
