Papa's Basement

Fez Whatley of the legendary Ron & Fez show passed away this week. We talk about how gifted a performer he was, the struggles he fought in his later years just to keep going, and how unbelievably kind he was to me the one time we had a chance to meet and talk. RIP, Big Cat. Tonight we play Taps on our cakehorns in memory of you. Give us your money via Patreon! Click here to listen to the latest episode of Papa's Basement in your browser.

I'm embarrassed to type out what this episode's title was derived from, so you'll have to listen and find out.

I watched The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It and offer my thoughts on the entire Conjuring universe (for starters, women love these movies because they all want to have a threesome with Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmigia). And an incident late in the episode drives Eva and I to explore what a John Papageorgiou in an alternate timeline where his mom walked in on him pounding one out looks like.

Mikael and I discuss Zack Snyder's new Netflix flim, Army of the Dead. We also get into why all of Clint Eastwood's movies would be better with orangutans, especially a racist one for Gran Torino. *In this episode, I mistakenly asserted that actor Bill Duke was in the film 48 Hours.

DMX's untimely death leaves Eva, a drug treatment counselor, thinking she could have saved him had she just been there for him these last few years. Prince Philip also died, and he cheated a lot but it's okay because he was really tall. A reminder that you can't just snap a person's neck like they show in the movies (with that satisfying "crack" sound to accompany it). And a discussion of scenes cut from Forrest Gump, including how Jenny got AIDS, who really killed Bubba, and the many murders committed by Forrest in the name of his racist beliefs.

It's Mikael and Eva in my backyard to record an episode with topics as varied as what I would have done as a king during the days of prima nocte, Eva's incredible impression of Jennifer Tilly, Mikael's desire to give a man a cuckoo-bird cuckolding, the latest in the Thomas Middleditch saga, and why getting your nips pierced is good for the health.

Days away from my 40th birthday, I reflect on my life with a depth, clarity, and vulnerability I rarely offer. JK we discuss dating sites for men with acorn peens, Eva "Size Queen" Kriksciun losing her virginity at age 13 to adult entertainer Peter North, my ability to guess age/race/sexuality/class through hearing a voice alone via my love of stereotypes, and some incredibly disgusting things I used to do to my former college roommate.

Mikael Johnson joins me as we talk...well, I remember we talked the films of Adam Sandler. Ironically (or maybe not ironically, given the episode title), I don't recall a ton about this episode.
