This episode wraps up the 2nd Annual Turkey Month with another stinker. This time, Jerry and Doug pick over the carcass of Superman III (1983), otherwise known as Richard Pryor’s Superman.

The Pod Bay Doors Podcast, Episode 72: Collateral Beauty (2016)
This week, Doug and Jerry sit through a grief-porn stuffed turkey named Collateral Beauty. This has way too many big name stars to be bad, yet it manages to be stunningly awful.

On their 50th episode, Doug and Jerry give in to their passion for Star Wars (seriously, they’re rabid fans) and talk about the new adventure Solo: A Star Wars Story. Travel with them to a galaxy far, far away and witness the birth of a legend. I have a really good feeling about this! Also, […]
