For week three of Five Weeks of Fright 6, we have a bonafide Halloween animation tour de force!

This week, Five Weeks of Fright 6 continues with a Beavis and Butthead Halloween special!

This week on the show, we talk a popular 90s cartoon staple that made its feature film debut!

This week, our topic for the Radkast 90s Summer is one of the main pillars of childhood. McDonald's wrapped itself up in our collective conscience, and one could almost argue is the THE embodiment of nostalgia. It was a cross-promotional juggernaut, and in the pop culture explosion of the 1990s, it had it's hands in almost everything! All that being said, there's no way we could've done the subject justice in only one episode. That's why over the next couple of weeks, we're bringing you Parts 1 and 2 of our coverage of 90s McDonald's, with Part 3 coming later in the...

This week for 90s Summer 2026, we talk about a movie the personifies early 90s nostalgia! It has everything that strikes us right to the core of what we love about that time.

It takes listening to the episode to really justify why this movie has instantly become something special to us! It's Airborne this week on the Radkast!

On this edition of the show, it's the first week of The Radkast 90s Summer 2026!

All those things don't even scratch the surface of what we got into this week on...

As the title suggests, and has we've been promoting, the time is finally here for the first live episode of the Radkast! For this very special edition, we broadcast from the St. Charles Taco King Taco Fest, and we talk a movie that maxes out the silly meter!
