    Ep 157 | SeaQuest DSV: "The Regulator"
    2024/09/05
    It's the faraway year of 2018 and man has colonized every place on Earth... except for the sea! This means the BTBs head into the damp, deep, fish home that is the Ocean where they encounter the crew of the legendary Deep Sea Vehicle the Seaquest. But as Captian Nathan Bridger discovers not all is well on the massive submarine as everyone's old enemy bureaucracy has raised its ugly head causing a backlog on a very important control chip

    The crew turns to less savory ways of procuring the piece and suddenly the SeaQuest and her resident talking dolphin (yes, you read that right) are in danger!

    Van takes Brian and Spencer on this journey through a show that the latter two didn't really know existed outside of Van's personal memories of it. And they watch as the coolest guy of 'the future' kind of turns out to be a moron. But eventually we'll all return to the circle in the end (it's from the show, just listen in, okay?)!

    With a return to the rich and powerful west where tech reigns supreme the Boob Tube Boys flash forward one year from last week’s episode to check in with the guys at Pied Piper and it’s going fine, right? Wrong. It turns out the nefarious Gavin Belson, billionaire owner of Hooli and Zuckerberg/Musk stand-in has decided despite having an inferior product to our heroes he's going to destroy them with his infinite resources and wealth. Pied Piper's only hope lies with Lloyd Braun from Seinfeld, and the BTBs watch and discuss with bated breath

    2024/08/23
    Computers! Typing! The World Wide Web! Pork Futures!

    The Boob Tube Boys are dialing it up to 11 as they down some Red Bulls and take some poppers all to make it big in the shark infested waters that is the tech industry. Err, well... the guys are doing the thing that'll get them as close to Big Tech as they'll ever get as they cover Silicon Valley! Numbers and data!

    The fellas watch the season 1 finale of the hit Mike Judge show and react to probably the most famous moment the program provided to the world- a bunch of jerk-off jokes. But can Pied Piper save itself in the eleventh hour? Also which character from the show is Brian most like? Listen in to find out!

    Ep 154 | Taxi: "The Great Race"
    2024/07/26
    The Tubers hop back into Taxi once more to round out their coverage of one of network TV's saddest and dirtiest sitcoms. This week, Alex and Louie engage in a cab battle for the ages, one that threatens to shred the fabric of life itself (for Elaine, at least)

    Brian quizzes Spencer and Van about their knowledge of taxi-based entertainments in between bouts of admiring Danny DeVito. Van provides some less-than-thrilling examples of comedian Jan Murray's work. Spencer brings the BTBs much closer to the present day with his new show pick. It's an episode so good you might not even notice if your cab driver circles your destination twice while you're listening!

    2024/07/19
    With the Motion Picture Men safely locked away in their gross movie cellar for another year, the Boob Tube Boys return to talk about the classic '70s sitcom Taxi, a show stuffed with comedy legends playing lovable losers

    While Taxi was a staple of Brian's childhood viewing diet, Spencer and Van were unfamiliar until this very week. The trio talk about the show's historic fingerprint, the allure of grimy old New York, and the episode that cemented Christopher Lloyd as a cast member. Hail a cab and tell the driver your destination is Boob Tube Boys! They'll figure out what you mean eventually

    2024/07/12
    The Motion Picture Men return for the final half of Neil Breen's masterpiece hit Fateful Findings, and one might say it's fate that you're here listening right now...

    At the end of Part 1 we found out that Dylan, the magical grandma-man played by Breen, is not at all writing his second hit novel and is instead working on stealing secret government and corporate secrets. Unfortunatly for him it seems like everyone in his life is currently having personal problems. There's Amy and Jim, his best friends who are busy hating each other in a loveless marriage, and also his girlfriend Emily who has developed a terrible pill addiction!

    In theory it's up to Dylan to solve all these issues, but what actually happens is he ignores them and everyone suffers because of it. But don't worry, here's his old love interest! Just in time to replace his dead girlfriend! Seriously, listen to this episode because this movie is WILD

    Ep 151 | Fateful Findings: Part 1
    2024/07/05
    The Motion Picture Men wrap up their 2024 with a look at Neil Breen's Fateful Findings, the movie that boldly takes a stand against secret government and corporate secrets

    Van's choice for MPM film is one of the darlings of the "so bad it's good" B-movie industry and it starts off with a literal bang as Dylan (played by Breen himself) is mowed down by a Rolls Royce in the middle of a crosswalk. But mystical powers that aren't ever actually explained allow Dylan to heal almost immediately and he winds up doing the deed while covered in bloody bandages in the shower. Let's just say there's a lot to unpack here, and you'd better put on some gloves before doing so

    Raise your hand if you're a tough guy. Ok... good, good. Now everyone who didn't raise thier hand, please leave the podcast (we're kidding, please don't ever leave us) because today we're wrapping up coverage of the delicious wad of 1980s cheese that is Miami Connection!

    When we last left off there was a vague conflict between band and group of ninjas (you know, that old chestnut), and today there's going to be even more vague conflict between band and ninjas. Things come to a head when Jeff, the bearded bad guy, finally has enough of Dragon Sound's antics and demands the group of college-going orphan musicians meet his gang in the old abandoned railroad yard to settle this once and for all...
