This week, we embark on quiet possibly our most ambitious project yet! It's the show that changed the landscape for not just animated television, but for prime-time sitcoms as a whole! A show that's spawned catchphrases, memorable characters, monumental moments, and has even been accused of predicting the future. A show that came from modest beginnings and was quickly thrust into the pop culture zeitgeist, and whose influence has echoed throughout the last 35 years of television.

They're about 36 seasons in, a possible 37th on the way, but we are just focusing on the first 10; or what many know it as...the Golden Age. Over the next few months, we're talking about The Simpsons! We start with our retrospective of Season 1 this week on the Radkast!

This week, we revisit another one of our favorite types of documentaries! On this episode, we showcase a doc of oddities where the subject's hearts are in the right place, but their head's are too far in the clouds, and noses are too deep into Comic Books. We dicuss a few folks who roam their city streets equipped with any manner of ridiculous weaponry, constantly being questioned by the police, and are harrassed by drunk people. All of this in attempt to fulfill some sense of duty they have to fight crime and clean up their towns!
They may be well intended, but that doesn't mean these "real life superheroes" aren't delusional. It's the 2011 documentary Superheroes, this week on the Radkast!

All these topics and more when we go over Baseball in the years 2000 to 2003, this week on the Radkast!

132: Cheese Fries and How We Experience Time w/Samantha Kennedy

Steven Webster and Matt Webster — Fri, 04 Aug 2023 06:00:00 -0500

This week on the show, we celebrate a couple milestones! On this editon of the Radkast Ramble, we talk the traumatic experience that was The Land Before Time, how certain songs can spark certain memories, and our shared love of the delicacy that is cheese fries! All those topics, and then some, are explored in the first edition of our new series The Six Mix!

However, what makes this episode so special is who we're kicking it off with! Our sister Samantha Kennedy is back and we celebrate her 10TH PODCAST APPEARANCE, this week on the Radkast!

128: SLY JULY: Stallone in the 90's

Steven Webster and Matt Webster — Mon, 10 Jul 2023 06:00:00 -0500

This week on the show, we kick off Sly July by rambling a bit about some of Sylvester Stallone's movies from the 90's! We talk movies like Cliffhanger, The Specialist, Copland, and Assasins...but with a twist. Instead of taking days out of our week to watch through all of Stallone's 90's catalogue, we decided to only watch the trailers for all those movies, and summarize what we think they're about based upon what's presented there!

A little closer to the end, Sly's underwhelmingly less famous brother Frank might just make an appearance into the fray. Whether we're totally wrong, or on the money, we had fun with this concept, and hope you do listening to it!

126: The Titanic and Jose Canseco's Twitter: Two Disasters

Steven Webster and Matt Webster — Fri, 23 Jun 2023 06:00:00 -0500

This week on the show, we yuck it up and talk about the oddity that is former MLB All-Star Jose Canseco's Twitter. Along with the 1986 AL MVP's antics on Social Media, we also give a little history lesson, and theorize what could've saved the Titanic all those years ago!

Steven Webster and Matt Webster — Fri, 16 Jun 2023 06:00:00 -0500

All those events and more in the worlds of Music, Movies, Television, Video Games that all came out in the year 2000, this week on the Radkast!

120: Whoop Dreams w/Jake Vehlewald

Steven Webster and Matt Webster — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 06:00:00 -0500

This week on the show, it's another obscure documentary showcasing some strange subjects! This time, follow four podcasters as they travel to the midwest, in the middle of nowhere, to find themselves in a modern day Sodom and Gamorah...but with more Faygo...or less?

Watch as they experience folks who would normally be seen as the dregs on the fringes of society, all GATHER together to celebrate life, love, family, and the music of two painted up rappers. Is there more than meets the eye with those down with the clown? Or are they just as they are perceived: ne'er do wells who cause trouble. Watch and learn along with the four "tourists," as they venture into the world of Juggalos and Juggalettes.

Or you can just listen to us talk about it! Jake Vehlewald makes his 10th podcast guest appearance to help us talk the doc Whoop Dreams, this week on the Radkast!

116. MAM: The Karate Kid Pt. 3 w/Dave Little

Steven Webster and Matt Webster — Fri, 31 Mar 2023 06:00:00 -0500

This week on the show, it's the final edition of "March-ial Arts Month!" For this episode, we talk a movie that took the good will built by the series first two entries...and almost flushed it down the toilet. It took the efforts of a scene-stealing villian, a legendary composer, and a solid showing for the franchises constant source of wisdom, to keep the film from falling flat completely.
Dave Little makes his return to the show to help us discuss The Karate Kid Pt. 3, this week on the Radkast!

115: MAM: Double Dragon w/Derek Gove

Steven Webster and Matt Webster — Fri, 24 Mar 2023 06:00:00 -0500

This week on the show, it's another entry in March-ial Arts month! For all the film adaptations of video games, the movie we talk about on this episode is certainly one of the worst. Cringy dialogue, horrible miscastings, poorly filmed fight scenes, cultural appropriation, this one has it all!
Good friend of the show Derek Gove makes his podcastdebut to help us discuss Double Dragon, this week on the Radkast!

114: MAM: Sidekicks

Steven Webster and Matt Webster — Fri, 17 Mar 2023 06:00:00 -0500

This week on the show, we have another entry in March-ial Arts Month! The film we talk about involves an asthmatic day-dreamer by the name of Barry, who when he's not dealing with his breathing problems inhibiting him, he has to deal with teasing from his classmates. Barry's only solace is when he can whisk himself away to fantasy worlds, and go on adventures where he is the right-hand man to his hero, Chuck Norris.
Thanks to the help of a supportive teacher, her wise uncle, his father, and his classmate crush, Barry overcomes the school bully, a pompous karate instructor, and learns when you find strength within yourself and see you're cared for, the real world is a far better place to live! Oh, and you may actually get to fight alongside your hero one day. No promises though.
It's Sidekicks, this week on the Radkast!

112. Confessions of a Superhero

Steven Webster and Matt Webster — Fri, 03 Mar 2023 06:00:00 -0600

This week on the show, we talk a documentary that's been a personal favorite of ours for years, but still remains relatively obscure! It follows four people who are all just trying to make it in Hollywood, and one of the ways they try to get a sniff of stardom, is by occupying the Hollywood Walk of Fame as superheroes who pose with tourists. Some put in the work to try and get any sort of big break, others coast off of living in a fantasy world. No matter their motivation, life gets in the way for all of them!

Some lie to the audience, some lie to themselves, but you can count on us to call it like we see it! It's Confessions of a Superhero, this week on the Radkast!

SC RE-RELEASE: A Christmas Story 2 w/Jake Vehlewald & Jeff Wright

Steven Webster and Matt Webster — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 06:00:00 -0600

No kiddies that SC ain't Santa Clause, it stands for Sucktastic Cinema, and it's from those archives we pulled this week's re-release! Unlike other times where we've re-released some of our older episodes, this go-around was because we lost a recording! We had Jake and Jeff on to talk the new HBO Max movie A Christmas Story Christmas, we were almost at the end of the recording and my computer died! However we did not fret for long, because Matt suggested we publish our Sucktastic episode from December 2021 where we talked another Christmas Story sequel with the very same guests! We are still planning on recording an episode about the franchise's newest escapades with an adult Ralphie, but until then, enjoy us lament about teenage Ralphie's failed sex-capades for this Sucktastic Cinema re-release for the Radkast holiday season!

THE RADKAST 100! WILLOW w/Andy Webster

Steven Webster and Matt Webster — Fri, 04 Nov 2022 06:00:00 -0500

We've done it! We've reached our 100th episode of The Radkast! To celebrate this milestone, we sat down to talk a wonderful movie that has been incredibly special to us since childhood. An unlikely hero comes into the possession of a very special child. He is tasked with taking the child where she will be safe, but as the journey goes on he comes to find out the baby has a greater importance than he realized, and he must thwart the efforts of an evil queen in order to protect the child. With the help of a couple of comic relief side-kicks, a great sorceress, and the greatest swordsman who ever lived, our hero gains the strength and confidence that comes from stepping beyond your comfort zone, and answering a higher call.
Our brother Andy joins us in commerating episode 100 by talking Willow, this week on The Radkast!

Steven Webster and Matt Webster — Fri, 14 Oct 2022 06:00:00 -0500

Let's just face it...people are strange. This edition of the Radkast Halloween, we look at a film that illustrates this point, but in the slickest, sleekest, sexiest way possible! A film that helped take vampires out of the castles of the 19th century, and into the decadence of the 1980's! A movie that is the perfect mix of style, substance, and an absolutely killer soundtrack! Also, our own personal vampire pals Uli and Boris thumb through the newspaper to read about a potential new sponsor!
Katie Legate joins us to gush over The Lost Boys, this week on the Radkast!

Hey listeners! We are super proud to present this bonus episode of the Radkast we did with Tyler Crandall, who was our guest for A Nightmare on Elm Street! This was a completely spontaneous discussion that came about after our recording session proper with Tyler.

Please enjoy this impromptu episode, and we hope you're feeling loved out there!

97: RKHALLOWEEN: A Nightmare on Elm Street w/Tyler Crandall

Steven Webster and Matt Webster — Fri, 07 Oct 2022 06:00:00 -0500

This week on the Radkast, we celebrate our second week of Halloween shows by covering another horror standard! It's a film that saw Wes Craven break new ground in a genre that seemed to be just going through the motions. A movie that provided a layered story, cerebral elements, and a new way to present its final girl! All of those things are great, but arguably it's most important contribution was introducing the world to a horror icon in Freddy Kreuger. Slicing and dicing through twists and turns of a dream world, so don't...fall...asleep!
Tyler Crandall makes his return to the show to help us talk A Nightmare on Elm Street, this week on the Radkast Halloween!

Steven Webster and Matt Webster — Fri, 30 Sep 2022 06:00:00 -0500

This week on the show, we kick off the Radkast Halloween! We re-visit a topic we touched on briefly in years past, but this time dive in deeper and get the reactions of a couple special guests! It's a film that paved the way for the slasher genre of Horror in the 1980's, and provided it with some of it's most common tropes! Plus, as is the Radkast Halloween tradition, Counts Uli and Boris are back for their seasonal hijinx!
Unlike the characters in this movie, we are NOT all doomed when Dave and Stephanie Little join us to talk Friday the 13th, this week on the Radkast Halloween!

We discuss how it's so much more than a silly kids hockey movie, but we still love it just the same!

In this action packed, explosion heavy "spot fest" of a film, former Marine John Triton is restless after being honorably discharged from the Corps. After he is fired from his job for shotputting someone through a window, he and his wife decide to get away for a while. What starts as a relaxing excursion into the mountains, turns into his wife being taken as a hostage, a firey car chase, and John in pursuit of the criminals through some marshy backwoods.

This week, we rock, we roll, we RIFF! This edition of Radkast Riffs isn't so much poking fun at the movie itself, but the subjects of the second part of the acclaimed The Decline of Western Civilization documentary trilogy. It's a mix of rock legends who warn of the dangers of fame, and the delusional, absurd aspiring musicians lacking self-awarness, who crave it!

On this edition of Radkast Rentals, we talk a film that some would consider a cultural touchstone.
