The Grossest Thing in this Gross World
This episode about Swiss Army Man has been laying in the vault for a couple of years, untouched, yet still eerily alive like Daniel Radcliffe. We haven't recorded in a few weeks, as Ted was busy moving for work, and then immediately decided to go to the hospital. He is okay, but watching movies and talking about them over Zoom has not been the priority lately. Instead, let's roll out some of this increasingly burdensome backlog, which contains both pearls and swine. Swiss Army Man, at least, is delightful.

The Mothra Prophecies
Hosts Matt Fagan and Ted Fagan are joined by the ghost of their brother Ian, in this very special episode of the Depot Devoid Podcast. The brothers have defied natural law, and violated the delicate balance of life and afterlife, in order to discuss the 2002 supernatural thriller "The Mothman Prophecies," starring Richard Gere and Laura Linney. But not the 1996 legal thriller "Primal Fear," starring Richard Gere and Laura Linney.

Mandrogynous Manbots!
We are no strangers to the works of Charles Band and Full Moon Entertainment, so when MANDROID pulled into the Depot Devoid, we thought we knew what was coming. But Mandroid was more than just underdeveloped or inept, with actors who can't deliver, all of which would be fully expected. No, Mandroid was different, because it also had a script that nobody involved in its production seemed to care about, even though it was obviously trying to be the first entry in a franchise. But Mandroid is so thin on story that it found time to act as a backdoor pilot, for a second franchise about an invisible man! A curious combination of craven and dull, Mandroid plopped onto video store shelves in 1993 with a big stanky thud, and there it sat. Until now.

Ravenous Memories
Once upon a time, we watched the movie 'Ravenous', a 1999 cannibal superhero comedy (?) set in 1847. Then we recorded this episode, without watching it again. The result was... funnier than it was accurate.For extra fun, check out the full video episode on the Depot Devoid Podcast channel on YouTube!

The Curious Case of the King of the Monsters
It's destruction and disorder in the Depot when the boys face their biggest challenge yet: Godzilla himself! Preschool-aged Ted watched Godzilla 1985 every week for a year, but will middle-aged Ted be able to make it through even once? It's a sequel to Godzilla that ignores about fourteen movies in between, and brings back Raymond Burr to reprise his role from the bowdlerized American version of the film. Yes, having now defeated Hamilton Burger almost 270 times, Perry Mason now sets his sights on taking down the King of the Monsters. We wanted to like this movie, and it wasn't easy.Find the full video episode on the Depot Devoid Youtube Channel!

You Compleat Me
Note: some parts of this episode make more sense if you watch the full video version (available on the Depot Devoid YouTube channel), but those parts are mostly dog-related and not strictly relevant to the movie.THE COMPLEAT AL brought the music videos of "Weird Al" Yankovic into our homes back in 1985, but was also a significant and often-overlooked entry in the nascent mockumentary genre. For the terrible gentlemen of the Depot Devoid, and their dead brother Ian, THE COMPLEAT AL was a formative childhood experience, one that ultimately paved the way for the much-better-known WEIRD: THE AL YANKOVIC STORY.Spend one more minute in the Depot with us, grab yourself a kiwi, and get ready for some nostalgic talk about a beloved cultural icon. Plus a lot of stuff about our dogs.

Depot! The Genetic Opera
Ted was excited because he'd never even heard of Repo! The Genetic Opera. Matt had uncertain memories of a single viewing 17 years ago. Join the meandering Fagan brothers for a lively discussion about this musical - and other musicals! Is it true that the dystopian world of 2056 that we see in Repo! is actually the same world from The Apple, after all the good people got raptured in 1998? Will Ted learn horrifying truths about Sweeney Todd? Will Matt say some things about Stephen Sondheim that he can't take back?The answers to these questions and more, should you choose to accept them, can be found right here in DEPOT! THE GENETIC OPERA.
