The Podcast will return after these messages
Strap in folks, this is a wild one. Two very tired separate bedroom partner bros bring you the final episode in this installment of Cromis's mandated podcast. This week's theme is music, that is definitely mentioned! We hope you enjoyed this run of episodes, and stay tuned! Soon enough this feed will once again TRANSFORM into something new, and different, and probably somehow very similar to what came before. When? What? Who can say? All we know is that, one day a new episode will pop up in your feed and we'll reacquaint ourselves all over again.

We Now Return to The Podcast
Hello faithful listeners! The non-brother separate bedroom roommate partners return for their 3rd podcast series. Now with even fewer episodes! This February Cromis has declared that Sam and Jam will watch Nelson Shin's 1986's The Transformers: The Movie. A truly beautiful animated classic filled to the brim with iconic moments that will make you say, "Wait there was a Transformers movie in the 80's?" Yes you dummy! it's arguably the best one!! This episode's topic is Character design, and boy were these characters designed!

The Last Bart (2022's David Gordon Green's Halloween Ends)
The final episode in the series! Will the non-brother partner roommate snake co-parents return for more audio adventures? Probably, but nothing confirmed yet baybee. So if you want to hear our audio improve and then get worse, then get better again (progress isn't linear!) you'll have to DM us on myspace.
This is the only episode not recorded immediately after watching the movie, as we will explain in the episode. If you want to hear the original ~lost episode (w/ a field recording!) please send $60 via money order directly to Cromis's mouth.
Thank you for listening! We hope to continue to be your ear buds in the future!

This again?? (David Gordon Green's Halloween (2018))
okay okay...it's a movie...that's a sequel...but just to the original 1978 one...and it's a reboot? And John Carpenter is back as an executive producer? and doing the music with his kid?....and it's called HALLOWEEN!!???...yes.
Wrap your brain around this one, folks. The 5th(?) continuity in the franchise, the third movie titled Halloween, and the third movie to be a sequel to a movie titled Halloween....this is a branding nightmare, but a good movie!!

Episode 24: This THING is XXX Rated
Tonight Sam and Jam watched a 1993 episode of X-Files called "Ice", which is pretty Thing-y. They are recording semi late for a SCHOOL night, so it's a little off the rails, but they did it in less than thirty, and that's what counts!

Episode 11: That's a Crock of Stuff
Most unhinged ep thus far? Simmmy and Jimmu are a little exhausted from a nonstop week of doing activities. Might be a fun ep though? for posteriety's sake at least. A weird intersection of doing well and not!

Sam and Jam are at it a-gam. You know the deal, they watched the movie from 1982, John Carpenter's The THING. Except this time, Sam was severely distracted and going through a toy crisis! well, not a crisis...that's a bit extreme, but toy related distress we'll say. Anyway, this is a fun one, tell your sponsors. Also, editor Cromis joined us briefly! Though he was mostly interested in Jam's sweatshirt.

The non-brothers finally land their biggest guest, Bart! They discuss how it's Bart's favorite movie and fashion inspiration! Other topics include Zooids, cover our regular segments, and how Sam and Jam went to Toy de Jour!

We didn't watch The Thing. We watched an episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, titled, "Empok Nor." Topics include: Does this episode relate to the THING? It says that it does online, but does it? And Sam gives an opinionated list of John Carpenter movies. If you like the show, that's cool. Thanks for listening :-)

Sam and Jam are watching 1982's John Carpenter's The THING once again on a cold February night. They congratulate Editor Cromis on shedding another layer of skin, and discuss how good the movie is!
