Back in it's heyday, MTV was actually kida.....badass. They were pioneers of how society would interact with, and be influenced by pop-culture. Among the countless hours of music and celebrity gossip, and while they weren't busy killing radio stars, they decided to take a risk on animation, which was already part of the MTV brand with all of their trippy animated bumpers. From that, comes Liquid Television, an animated/live action surreal anthology series that aired back in the early '90s. Aeon Flux was one of the featured segments, and became popular enough to spawn a short television series that became a massive hit with the horny sci-fi weirdo crowd, our own Chad included. Over the decades, Aeon Flux has definitely earned it's cult-classic fanbase with the style and substance that is synonymous with this iconic series, and has influenced other creators to conceive some very interesting content.

And, of course, like anything else we love from our childhood, this too received a pretty piss-poor live-action adaptation...but not a bad sci fi experience of it's own. Chad and Jess are here to tell you what they think about this blast-from-the-past, apocalyptic, biopunk gem. Enjoy!

32 years ago, Mike Judge introduced the world to Beavis and Butt-Head, a ground-breaking animated MTV series focused on two unintelligent, sexually misguided Gen X teenagers and their sordid misadventures in the fictional town of Highland, TX. This absolute banger of a series has managed to stand the test of time and receive not one, but two reboots, two feature-length films, major console video game adaptations, cameos in other popular television shows, and a laundry list of merchandise to suffice even the most hardcore of collectors to this day. To say they have carved out a spot in the pop-culture pantheon is an understatement for sure, but how have these two emotionally stunted, misogynistic, criminally stupid, excruciatingly ugly slackers who seem to inhabit all that is wrong with humanity manage to captivate an audience of fans, old and new, for OVER 3 DECADES? Chad and Jess are here today to try and shed some light on the more positive aspects to this series, and explain why they have stayed faithful fans since childhood, enjoy!

For this year's Halloween episode, Chad and Jess tried to watch something a little different...a little more "kid friendly". What they watched was "Shrunken Heads", a film that got a little confused on it's way to soccer practice, and ended up at the liquor store. Directed by Richard Elfman, Produced by Charles Band and distributed by Full Moon Pictures, this movie has a very good bad pedigree, but is it a good bad movie, or a bad bad movie? Chad and Jess are here to break it down for ya, enjoy!

Every once in a while, the stars align and humanity is gifted magic from the Entertainment Gods. This phenomenon happened 25 years ago when MTV took a risk on a group of plucky, fresh-faced lunatics with a flair for the absurd, and Jackass was unleashed on the masses. Chad and Jess were part of those masses in their teenage years, and want to share with you what makes this series and big screen adaptations so special to them. Enjoy!
