Radio Labyrinth

This week on Radio Labyrinth Podcast, Tim leads us through another round of pop culture chaos as the entertainment machine continues eating itself.

We’re talking Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 8 updates, The Boys finale, the passing of Frank Zappa collaborator Ike Willis, and the news that a new Godfather story focused on Connie Corleone is on the way.

Plus, Shark Tank is moving production to Atlanta, South Park has a Season 29 premiere date, and AI is now turning vintage adult magazine spreads into movies because apparently we weren’t cursed enough already.

In Trai...

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we’re talking about all the new things worth listening to — and a few things Spotify probably should’ve kept to itself.

Spotify is celebrating 20 years with a new feature that digs through your entire listening history, revealing your first streamed song, your all-time stats, and the artists you may or may not want to admit you played the most. Tim’s Spotify history is officially on trial, and yes, Tom Segura somehow entered the chat.

We’re also diving into Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 8: A Parade of Horribles, the latest ent...

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we say goodbye to one of the most influential media figures of the Gen X era — Ted Turner. From WTBS after-school marathons and Atlanta Braves baseball to Cartoon Network, CNN, WCW, and the strange magic of shows starting at 5:05 and 7:35… we look back at how Turner quietly shaped the childhoods of an entire generation.

Plus: thoughts on Widow’s Bay, The Boys, and Lord of the Flies, Laura Dern joining The White Lotus, Jeff’s scam alert after getting hit with a surprise $199 charge, Tim’s awkward David Cross encounter, Trailer Trash, and a fres...

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we sit down with one of those actors you instantly recognize—even if you don’t know his name… until now.

We’re talking to W. Earl Brown—a true character actor powerhouse whose career spans everything from Deadwood to There's Something About Mary, Preacher, and now the final season of The Boys.

W. Earl stops by to talk about:
* His cameo in the final season of The Boys 👀
* How Preacher helped pave the way for The Boys
* Jumping back into his series Sheriff Country for Season 2

It’s a l...

This week on Radio Labyrinth, Hollywood might want to check its ego—because the next generation of filmmakers didn’t come up through film school… they came from YouTube.

We break down the growing trend of digital creators making the jump to major studio projects, from Markiplier topping the box office with Iron Lung to indie creators landing massive franchises like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Is this the future of filmmaking… or just Hollywood chasing the algorithm?

Also this week:
* The bizarre (and very real) possibility of Tim Heidecker helping reboot InfoWars under The Onion banner

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we sit down with comedy legend Craig Shoemaker — a man who’s been making audiences laugh for over 40 years and somehow turned it into both an art form and a wellness movement.

You know him as The LoveMaster, you’ve seen him in Parks and Recreation, Scream 2, and countless Comedy Central specials (including one ranked among their all-time best)… but Craig’s story goes way deeper than stand-up.

We talk about:
* His spot-on Don Knotts impression and Hollywood work behind the scenes
* Wild personal stories (including cults, family chaos, and...

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we break down the news that Dungeon Crawler Carl is heading to Peacock with Seth MacFarlane producing. It’s an alien apocalypse turned into a deadly game show… with a talking cat. So yeah—this could either be incredible or a complete disaster. We get into whether something this chaotic can actually work in live-action.

From there, it’s a packed week of pop culture:
* The Bad News Bears turns 50 and we look back at its legacy
* Dexter: Resurrection adds Brian Cox as a new villain—does this series still have life...

Kristi Noem’s husband is suddenly all over the news for reasons no one had on their 2026 bingo card… and yeah, we had to talk about it. This week on Radio Labyrinth, we dive into the strange internet fascination with Byron Noem’s leaked photos, the surreal politics of image obsession, and why everybody in public life suddenly looks like they were rendered by AI.

But that’s just the beginning.
We also cover clowns protesting in Bolivia, the latest bizarre chapter in the Tiger Woods saga, and a new documentary claiming the most famous Bigfoot footage...

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we talk the Chuck Norris death, his meme-era legacy, and whether most of his movies were actually… not great. We also break down the Alan Ritchson neighbor fight footage, Stephen Colbert’s alleged LOTR writing gig, vape squirrels, and more.

MOVIE BY CAST GAME!

What happens when Hollywood brings an actor back from the dead… with AI?

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we dive into the controversial (and fascinating) story of Val Kilmer being digitally resurrected for the upcoming film As Deep as the Grave—with full approval from his family. Is this the future of filmmaking… or are we crossing a line?

We break down the ethics, the technology, and ask the big question: Who else should (or shouldn’t) be brought back this way?

Kelly Osbourne’s dramatic new look has the internet buzzing—
We also talk about the NBA shutting down the Atlanta Hawks’ planned Magic City Night, a promotion celebrating one of Atlanta’s most legendary nightlife institutions. The league stepped in after backlash, raising questions about culture, branding, and where the line is for sports entertainment.

Elsewhere, Arnold Schwarzenegger says Hollywood is suddenly interested in reviving some of his most iconic roles, including King Conan, Predator, and Commando—but this time with an aging warrior angle. Terrence Howard is back in the headlines with some wild takes on Game of...

Burger Wars are heating up… and apparently so are the Yorkshire moors.

This week on the Radio Labyrinth Podcast, we take a bite out of the internet’s latest fast-food drama as McDonald’s launches the Big Arch burger and rival CEOs from Burger King and Wendy’s jump into the fray with some very public trolling. Is this the start of a new Burger War, or just corporate marketing cosplay?

Meanwhile, Lizzie brings some literary chaos into the mix with a look at the upcoming Wuthering Heights film adaptation starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi...

Robert Carradine — best known as Lewis Skolnick in Revenge of the Nerds and as Sam McGuire on Lizzie McGuire — has died at 71. His family confirmed he died by suicide after a long battle with bipolar disorder, hoping that sharing his struggle might help reduce the stigma around mental health.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we reflect on Carradine’s legacy, the iconic Carradine acting family, and what his loss means to a generation that grew up quoting Nerds and watching Disney Channel after school.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we dive into the controversy, speculation, and politics that always seem to swirl around the Olympic Games. Is it corruption? Bias? National favoritism? Or just internet-fueled paranoia?

From there, we cover a packed week in pop culture:
We remember Jesse Jackson, Robert Duvall, and Tom Noonan — celebrating their impact on film, television, and culture.

We break down:
* David Boreanaz heading to Atlanta for NBC’s reboot of The Rockford Files
* Ted Levine reflecting on The Silence of the Lambs
* Shia LaBeouf and the...

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we welcome author Scott A. Young to discuss Fabricants, the explosive second installment in The Manifold Series — and the audiobook is narrated by our own Tim Andrews.

After awakening from stasis on a galaxy-crossing colony mission, commanders Trapp and Bretta discover something terrifying: hundreds of Fabricants — the colony’s synthetic workforce — have been neatly disassembled into lifeless piles. The survivors? Violent. Unstable. Rogue.

Tim also shares what it’s like narrating high-stakes sci-fi — finding the voice of commanders, synthetic beings, and galaxy-spanning tension inside a recording booth.

Then we expand th...

This week on the Radio Labyrinth Podcast, we welcome back returning guest Allen Stare, the voice behind WKRPCast and Severed, to talk about his brand-new podcast Hello, Carol, a companion show for Apple TV+’s Pluribus.

Allen joins us to break down what makes Pluribus such a compelling watch, why it deserved a dedicated podcast, and what listeners can expect as Hello, Carol rolls out with its first episode now available. We talk podcasting instincts, fandom done right, and why some shows just beg to be unpacked episode by episode.

Before Allen jumps in, we hi...

This week on the Radio Labyrinth Podcast, we kick things off with a special guest—comedian, actor, writer, and director Steve Byrne, who joins us ahead of his Atlanta shows at Punchline Comedy Club.

Steve talks about the most memorable (and chaotic) shows he’s played in Atlanta, what’s next for him behind the camera, and whether he’s still plotting the eventual demise of Tony Scar from Kill Tony. We also give love to his films Always Amazing and The Opening Act, and dig into what draws him to telling stories beyond the stand-up stage.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we stare down the Atlanta ice storm—or whatever version of it actually shows up. Two days ago we were all doomed, today it’s “mostly rain,” and YouTube weather channels are somewhere in between sounding the apocalypse siren. We talk storm panic, forecast whiplash, and the fine line between preparation and full-blown weather doom-scrolling.

Then we pivot to pop culture comfort food with a debate over TV’s greatest neighbor characters, sparked by a recent Washington Post ranking. From classic sitcom legends to chaotic wild cards, everyone brings their personal Top 3—and no, we d...

This week on Radio Labyrinth, it’s the return of BAIT GATE — and it’s chaos. Tim won’t stop queerbaiting, Lizzi triggers the easily triggered, and Tim reads exactly one YouTube comment this week… shoutout to Robey. We touch on the other comments, but only briefly — you’ll see why.

Then, it’s on to Celebrity Criminals — a segment we wish we didn’t need, but here we are:

* Daniel Stern (Home Alone) is caught in a motel sting in California.
* Kiefer Sutherland lands a felony charge after an altercation with a ride-share driver.
* Timothy...

New year, new season — welcome to Season 11 of the Radio Labyrinth Podcast.We kick things off with a special guest to start the year right: Randy Havens, best known as Hawkins High’s beloved science teacher Mr. Clarke from Stranger Things.

Randy joins us first to talk about the final season of Stranger Things, his experience being part of one of the biggest shows of the past decade, and what it’s like watching fan theories spiral in real time — including the infamous “Conformity Gate” moment that was supposed to happen while we were recording. We also dig into Ran...

We wrap up 2025 and Season 10 of Radio Labyrinth with a special guest and a little reflection. This week we’re joined by Emmy-winning special effects artist Lee Romaire, whose work spans film, television, and cutting-edge animatronics.

Lee talks practical effects, realism in creature design, and his work connected to Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein — plus why physical effects still matter in a CG-heavy world.

Since this is S10-Ep50, we also look back at some of our favorite guests of the year and talk about what’s ahead as we roll into Season 11.

This week on Radio Labyrinth Podcast, a last-minute guest cancellation turns into a lean, off-the-rails episode where we just roll with it. We kick things off by talking about how shockingly good the new Frankenstein film turned out, before diving deep into the penultimate episode of IT: Welcome to Derry and what it’s setting up for the finale — themes, tone, and whether the show is actually sticking the landing.

From there, we hit Hollywood news, including reports of Andy Dick’s latest overdose and Gene Simmons doing the most Gene Simmons thing imaginable in Washington, D.C. We wra...

This week Dustin kicks things off with his David Byrne recap (ft. Michael Shannon energy) and a shout-out to St. Paul & The Broken Bones on The Tonight Show 12/8. We also run through our Spotify Wrapped 2025 and roast each other accordingly.

⭐️ TOPIC 1 — The Best Christmas Specials Ever
We go through TimeOut’s list and then immediately derail into our own picks — classics, weird ones, cartoons, South Park moments, and the one Christmas special or movie we absolutely have to watch every year.
Plus we talk post-2000s Christmas episodes, including:• The Sopranos — Bobby as Santa, Paulie threatening him, a kid tel...

It’s the night before Thanksgiving and the Labyrinth is running on pure chaos, carbs, and zero show prep. With no show sheet and no plan (classic), the crew naturally drifts into the biggest online argument of the week: Variety’s “100 Best Comedy Movies of All Time” list that has social media melting down.

We break down their Top 10, share what they nailed, what they butchered, and what absolutely does not belong anywhere near a “Best Comedy Ever” list. From cult classics to Gen-X essentials, we get into which films still make us laugh and which ones make us go “…real...

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we welcome our buddy George Clark from VHD for a full-blown, behind-the-curtain Skankfest recap — straight from the perspective of a volunteer gofer who saw everything (maybe more than he ever wanted). George breaks down what Skankfest really is, what it's like to run around for three days for the most unhinged comics in America, and the embarrassing, drunken encounter he had with Kim Congdon and Luis J. Gomez.He even got to hang with Doug Stanhope, so you know there are stories.

We talk favorite sets, surprise moments, the best and worst shows, an...

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we’re diving into the blood-spattered fun of the new Shudder/AMC reality horror series Guts & Glory! We’re joined by comedian, game show host, and producer FRANK NICOTERO—who also happens to be cousin to the legendary Greg Nicotero—and friend-of-the-show JOSH WARREN, who competed on the series. Frank and Josh break down what it was really like behind the scenes: the challenges, the chaos, the laughs, and the Nicotero-family madness that went into making one of the wildest reality shows of the year.

We talk horror, practical effects, game show energy, and how...

This week, the gang dives headfirst into the weird, wild world of AI video creation — from Sora 2 and Grok to the strange new internet characters they’re spawning. Tim shares how he’s been using Sora to make surreal videos for Gilbert (and inventing a whole alternate-dimension being named Gob-Loaf along the way), while Dustin and Lizzie trade their own AI stories and Jeff admits he’s just waiting until they let you make porn.

We also tackle the viral Food Stamp “Toast Lady” video that fooled half of TikTok (spoiler: she’s not real — just another AI fever dream).

This week, we wrap up spooky season with an interview you don’t want to miss Casper Kelly, the twisted mind behind Too Many Cooks, Adult Swim Yule Log, and now V/H/S Halloween!

Casper joins us to talk about his new segment “Fun Size” in V/H/S Halloween, his approach to mixing humor and horror, and why the genre’s weirder side is often the most honest. We also dig into his creative process, and the unexpected path that led him from surreal late-night sketch chaos to horror anthology fame.

Then, the gang breaks d...

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we welcome the one and only Rhonda Shear, the legendary host of USA’s Up All Night, the cult-classic late-night show that defined ‘90s cable TV. From campy B-movies and offbeat sketches to her unforgettable chemistry with Gilbert Gottfried, Rhonda became a pop culture icon—and now she’s back and better than ever!

Rhonda joins us to talk about her brand-new series “Up All Night with Rhonda Shear” premiering on the Kings of Horror YouTube Channel, and what fans can expect from this next chapter. We dive into her Hollywood career, her time on show...

This week’s episode takes a sharp turn into the shadows as we welcome back actor Josh Warren, who joins us fresh off his appearance in Shudder’s new reality competition series “Guts and Glory,” produced by none other than Greg Nicotero of The Walking Dead fame. Josh shares what it’s like to be on the blood-soaked set (at least as much as his NDA allows), and gives us a peek behind the curtain of this wild new horror challenge.

Then, we go full slasher mode as the gang dives headfirst into every Halloween movie in the Michael My...

🎙️ This week on Radio Labyrinth, we’re joined by comedian and writer Alex Falcone — a quick-witted, absurdly relatable comic whose work has been featured on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Portlandia, and across viral TikToks that hilariously roast internet culture.

Alex drops by ahead of his appearance at The Punchline in Atlanta, October 17–19, to talk about his career in comedy.

We also dive into this week’s Views or Snooze, covering:🍬 John Candy: I Like Me (Prime Video) – Colin Hanks’ new doc about everyone’s favorite Canadian comedian.🪑 The Chair Company (HBO Max) – Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin’s weird new...

This week on Radio Labyrinth Tim is out sick, but the rest of the gang dives headfirst into the latest failed prophecy: The Rapture That Wasn’t.

Apparently, September 23, 2025, was supposed to be the big day. People were selling cars, homes, and cashing out like Blockbuster stock in 2010. But—spoiler alert—we’re all still here. So why do people keep falling for these very specific “end of the world on Tuesday at 4pm” prophecies?

We break down the history of doomsday predictions, from Harold Camping’s 2011 miss to the Millerites’ “Great Disappointment” of 1844, to Heaven’s Gate and Hale-Bopp...

This week on Radio Labyrinth Podcast we’re joined by two very special guests: Ronnie Neeley, host of the Dancing is Forbidden podcast, and Matt Maiellaro, co-creator of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and co-host of MeatKingdom.

We talk about Aqua Teen, MeatKingdom, Ronnie’s work chronicling the ATHF universe, and their brand-new animated project in the works. As you’d expect, the line between “serious” and “not-so-serious” gets blurry—but that’s half the fun.
