(A Note from Derek: Well, it's a new year, and time for some changes! For one, we'll be changing from a [mostly] weekly podcast to a [mostly] "every-other-week" podcast. The reason for this is because, quite frankly, I would like to have a little free time to myself when I'm off work. Editing these podcasts can sometimes be a real pain in the butt, especially after a long day at work, so I'm spreading the work out a bit. Another reason is, with the way the last month has gone, we haven't been able to get together as often as we'd like to do these shows, so we ended up with huge gaps over the last six months or so. We're still going to get together every week--when that's possible--and record, but rather than issue them each week, this will allow me to build a library of finished shows that I can put out if we have to skip a week or two. The bottom line is, I'm trying to set up a release schedule that works for both Jake and myself. We appreciate all of you that have stuck with us over the past month of nothing very much, and we hope to ensure that there are fewer gaps from now on.
Another change I'm making is shorter episode descriptions. Honestly, it's kind of redundant to record ourselves talking about the movie and then write out an almost complete synopsis for the webpage. It's ridiculous. So I'm not doing it anymore.
Once again, thank you all for your patience while we try to get our ducks in a row. All the best. -- Derek)

Everyone loves Bruce Campbell, right? We sure do, and that's why we're starting out 2020 with one of Bruce's finest movies that isn't an Evil Dead sequel!
This week the guys sat down to watch Bubba Ho-Tep, where an elderly Elvis (Cambell) and a post-assassination John F. Kennedy (Ossie Davis) whose skin was dyed brown and his brain has been replaced with a bag of sand square off against an evil mummy in cowboy clothes that is killing residents of the old folks' home they reside in so it can feast on their souls. Will they defeat the hillbilly mummy? Or will it defeat them and suck their souls out through their buttholes (a thing the mummy has been known to do)? You'll have to tune in to find out.

| No, really. This is Elvis and JFK. |
Derek also likes it, but wonders if the whole thing is a figment of Elvis' imagination and he's the real killer. Who can say?

| Exactly. |
