#21: Repo Man featuring Olivia Kram
We’re joined by Olivia Kram (Rockefeller, Windows 98) to watch the Emilio Estevez classic Repo Man. Is this movie about time travel? Emilio is the worst person to ever be tricked into a job and Harry Dean Stanton uses real baseball bats. Just ask Harry Dean Stanton.
Kid Goggles #48: The Rock (1996) w/ AJ de Leon (Engineer AJ!)
“Welcome to The Rock.” The iconic words of an aged Sean Connery beckoned a young Engineer AJ to the nearest TV screen for a hypnotic display of gunshots, patriotism, and the one-of-a-kind acting of peak Nicholas Cage. But does AJ still take pleasure in guttin’ you, boy? Known by fans mainly through his background laughter, […]
Kid Goggles #47: The Lost Boys w/ Kate Fruhman (improv!)
The one thing that the wonderful and hilarious, Kate Fruhman, loved about her childhood? All the damn vampires. Oh, and all the Corey Haim. Mostly just the Corey Haim. Book-ended on a VHS tape by The Secret of NIMH and a terrifying Martin Sheen voodoo movie, this ’80s cult-classic became Kate’s secret obsession. But does […]
Kid Goggles #46: Class Act w/ Chill Moody (hip-hop artist!)
WORK THAT BODY and then settle down for Prince and the Pauper meets Kid ‘n Play in this 1992 teen romp starring zero teenagers. The insanely talented hip-hop artist, Chill Moody, has loved Class Act ever since he was seven and snuck into the theater to see Duncan and Blade avoiding crop-top-wearing drug dealers and […]
Kid Goggles #45: The Breakfast Club w/ Chris Esperance (improv!)
Yo Wasteoid, you think The Breakfast Club is beyond reconsideration? Improviser and repeat guest, Chris Esperance (ep# 20– Bad Boys), thinks this quintessential piece of ’80s cinema might not be able to hold its smoke in 2018. Was he right? Do you approve of this? The KG crew hashes it out, and discuss which Club […]
Kid Goggles #44: Street Sharks w/ Pim Van H (improv!)
SHARK DIVE into this “jawesome” TMNT rip-off that served as the re-introduction to American cartoons for the unbelievably funny, Pim Van H! Pim once dreamed of becoming Tim Jones, an all-American oceanographer, but a rat-tail and a fear of the bends stood in his way. Fortunately, Street Sharks was there as a sort of wish […]
Kid Goggles #43: Are You Afraid of the Dark? (part 2) w/ Nicole Auletto (tattoo artist!)
In part 2, everyone shares their scariest doll stories, the gang meets the Freakmans, and final verdicts are issued! Will this campfire still burn bright 20 years later or is it finally time to throw a bucket of water on it and get the hell home? Check out Nicole Auletto’s Art! Check out Dollhouse Tattoo […]
Kid Goggles #42: Are You Afraid of the Dark? (part 1) w/ Nicole Auletto (tattoo artist!)
Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society comes a two-part episode dedicated to the show that gave every ’90s kid nightmares. All except the unbelievable tattoo artist and owner of Dollhouse Tattoo Parlour, Nicole Auletto, who, much like her favorite Midnight Society member, Betty Ann, reveled in the fear that the stories induced in […]
Kid Goggles #41: The Incredible Shrinking Woman w/ Ralph Andracchio (improv!)
A salient commentary on women’s roles in society, an acerbic critique of consumer culture, and an attack on governmental abuse of power, this movie is as relevant today as it was in 1981. There’s also a guy playing a gorilla doing Benny Hill shtick, relentless screams of children, and enough anxiety-inducing scenes to rival a […]
Kid Goggles #40: Gleaming the Cube w/ Joe Moore (actor/comedian/writer!)
Get your boards and hit those empty pools, it’s time to gleam the cube with Tony Hawk and… Christian Slater? This 1989 cult-classic about a skateboard punk trying to solve the murder of his adopted brother features a bunch of skateboarding legends and a bunch of Pizza Hut product placement. Philly’s own comedy legend, Joe […]
