Slimehouse (Jasper, Jared, Max, & H Nelson)

While the tagline may promise a PG, June's Slime Shuffle hands the Slimehouse crew a rare G-rated film with Disney's 1975 family western The Apple Dumpling Gang, a Proto-Slimer in the truest sense, as well as their very first R-rating, Richard Pryor's cul-de-sac comedy Moving.

Slimehouse hits a slam dunk with Like Mike, the 2002 Lil' Bow Wow-starring sports fantasy full of junk food comas, scooter chases, basketball geometry lessons, and at its core, a genuinely effective underdog narrative.

Spooky Slime season continues with Disney's The Haunted Mansion, based on the beloved theme park ride. Our first Eddie Murphy vehicle, one of the Slime titans. In this episode, we are surprised to learn that despite all the makings of being a quintessential slimehouse movie, plus a supporting cast of slime favorites Wallace Shawn and Jennifer Tilly, we actually found this one to be a cooler entry in the Pumpkin Slime series.

"I'm going to Disneyland!"

Slime Shuffle strikes again! This time, the random selection landed us on 2007's Balls of Fury, a late August release that was panned by the few people who bothered to see it. Since it was a new discovery for each of us, we get into how it does (or doesn't) resemble slimehouse, and the contingency of "Frat Pack" and Tenacious D inspired comedies of the late 2000s that were once ubiquitous and now harder to find. Enjoy!

"I'll rip his circuits to shreds!" Special guest Sam Schlenker joins us again to kick off our sophomore season of outrageous hijinks!  A master of the Grindhouse and the Slimehouse alike, legendary director Robert Rodriguez is our inspiration for a Double Feature of "The Adventures of Sharkboy & Lavagirl" to be followed up by its recent Netflix follow-up, "We Can Be Heroes".  On this episode, we discuss "auteurs" within the Slime Canon and why they seem so scarce for this particular genre.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/slimehousepod/support

"Who am I? Ah, Bad Booty-shaking Pickanosis, yeah! That's who I am!" On the 20th anniversary of the release of Osmosis Jones in theaters, the Slimehouse gang convened to discuss this wild ride of a live action/2D animation hybrid vehicle. In this episode, we debate over the Farrelly Brothers' influence on the Slimehouse genre and how this movie cleverly merged their Gross Out comedy style with the Slime ethos. An overlooked box office bomb upon release, Osmosis Jones is reclaimed as an exceptional entry into the Library of Slime. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/slimehousepod/support

"Snow dad is better than no dad."

Joined by Bryan Hume, Slime Superfan and creator of the official Slimehouse website, the boys discuss one of their strangest films yet, 1998's tonal "slime sandwich" Jack Frost. Discussed along the way are the crucial importance of soundtrack to slime, Henry Rollins' acting career, and whether a movie that depends equally on both tearjerker moments and butt jokes can truly be considered a full-on Slime extravaganza.

"Surf Wyoming!"

Celebrating Nelson's birthday with a blast from the past so diculous it's re-diculous! Meet the Deedles is a Disney produced diamond in the rough featuring a young Paul Walker and Steve Van Wormer as The Deedles, a boneheaded surfing duo who find themselves landlocked in Yellowstone National Park, and after a mistaken identity, find themselves put in charge of stopping the local prairie dog infestation. This movie is truly something else, and has been largely forgotten by time, but holds up some pretty key parts of the Slimehouse genre in its mayhem, making it a must for Slime fans.

Learn why Nelson made this his birthday pick, and join us in celebration with some shaka-fueled tiki drinks!
