Jordan and Alex do a little fandango, as a treat,  as they dive into the stygian depths and falsetto highs of Queen's immortal hit "Bohemian Rhapsody!" Thunderbolts and lightning are the least of their worries as they try to pronounce "Zoroastrian" to get to the bottom of Freddie Mercury's lyrics, dive deep into the literal pieces of trash that make up Brian May's iconic guitar sound and ponder a timeline in which Guns N' Roses soundtracked *that* scene in 'Wayne's World'! Along the way they'll get into the acoustic phenomena behind Freddie Mercury's voice, find out exactly how many vocal overdubs make up "Bohemian Rhapsody," and explore how the band sort-of pioneered the music video as an art form out of laziness! Too Much Information: Beelzebub has a podcast put aside for you!

FROM THE VAULT "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen: Everything You Didn't Know (50th Anniversary Edition!)

Your two camp counselors of crap that really doesn't matter are back to cover this cult comedy classic and say farewell to summer. You’ll hear how director David Wain and Michael Showalter scraped the film together from camp memories, half-baked funding promises, and an indie script so dark at one point it featured a silencer and two bullets to the brain. Shot on a shoestring at a real Pennsylvania camp, the production was less summer idyll and more soggy boot camp: freezing rain, muddy cabins, and craft services that amounted to pizza bagels every day until the cast staged a mutiny.

And because Wet Hot American Summer is as much pop culture oddity as it is comedy, they'll tour its stranger corners: Bradley Cooper skipping his graduation to shoot, Elizabeth Banks shivering through bikini scenes in 40-degree weather, Alex's beloved Christopher Meloni method-acting his way into a “cuddly Rambo” character, and a post-production fart-only DVD commentary track that may be the film’s most enduring legacy. From box office disaster to cult-comedy ur-text, this is the story of how a little camp movie with no budget and no buzz wound up shaping the absurdist humor of a generation.

Your Boardwalk barons of boredom are back after a brief hiatus to bring you the surprisingly drama-filled history behind this most American of games. You’ll learn about the wholesale theft at the heart of its creation, the murderers it sparked, the gigantic case of corporate fraud it inspired, and the prisons it sprung from German POW camps.

And because Monopoly is as much pop culture as it is cardboard, they'll tour its stranger afterlives: the mascot who officially became “Mr. Monopoly” in 1999 (still no monocle—sorry, Mandela Effect), the ever-shifting lineup of tokens, the globe-trotting board swaps from Boardwalk to Rue de la Paix, a jewel-encrusted $2 million set, and world championships held in places fancy enough to make a hotel on Park Place blush. Even the late Queen reportedly banned it at Christmas—proof that nothing says “festive” like a property dispute.
