Nathan Fielder “The Smaller the Cats” Ep. 177

What a show! NATHAN FIELDER, star of “Nathan for You” joins us this week. What a treat! Nathan tells us about how his history of not being able to read people helps him stay in character, why it makes him laugh when people won’t say what they’re really thinking, and what he and CEO’s have in common when it comes to not taking a hint.

Plus! Julie’s been watching a ton of bad TV and has a lot to say about NAKED DATING, DEALS FROM THE DARK SIDE, and the dastardly JILL ZARIN EPISODE OF CELEBRITY WIFE SWAP! Plus: why Sherri Shepherd really left THE VIEW. And Pauley Perrette’s swollen head.

Enjoy! Hooray!

Scott King “False Chunk” Ep. 176

Comedy writer and delightful human SCOTT KING joins us this week. Enjoy our discussion of the disadvantages of gay men who grew up without watching DYNASTY on prime time, his serial comedy live show in NYC back in the day starring-ahem-Juliana Margulies, and why everybody should do a goddamn dreamboard.

Also- how to change your ice game! A cookie dough revelation! How much “Weird” Al is too much “Weird” Al? And all hail a chimpanzee named Julie, for fashion reasons.

A great show!

James Poniewozik “Barbershop Quartet of Bullying Doom” Ep. 175

Happy Ryan “Hot Lips” Houlihan Day! This week’s show features TV Critic JAMES PONIEWOZIK, who is here to tell us what to watch this summer.

Also: A street harasser expresses his desire to scratch Julie’s summer scalp, an open call for Coen Bros-themed tattoos, Robin Leach’s fascinating wife, White Castle and its disgusting food and enigmatic “Hall of Fame,” an extensive discussion of Denis Leary’s new TV show, how looking back is a thing one does when one is depressed, rejecting the notion of watching a new thing, damnit!

Plus: Welcome back, Rosie O’Donnell’s trutherism on The View! CATS: The Musical, now returning to the state with rapping! Why they shoula hired Paul Giamatti for AMERICAN HUSTLE. And Baby Boomers’ Terminator vision.

Emily Gould: “OCCASIONAL BENEVOLENCE BASED ON THEIR SCRATCH PARTS” Ep.173

Happy Birthday, America!

Then, Julie recaps ALADDIN and encourages you to spread rumors about the hidden swastikas in its set design, explains why FEED MY FRANKENSTEIN is Cannibal Cop’s theme song, speculates as to whether Annette Bening came on to her, and mourns the waste of Jenny McCarthy’s fake eyeglasses now that she will no longer be on The View.

Salute the Flag!

Happy Pride!

This week’s show is a HIDDEN GEMS medley of delights, featuring never-before-heard tidbit/morsels of chats with MERRILL MARKOE, ANDY KINDLER and BRIAN STACK!

Enjoy those gems, pals! And also, relish some brand new observations about why leather harnesses are the best possible things for society, the luxury of being an aging person over irony who just wants to listen to terrible music, a story about a wonderful insane older gal who screamed things about Bush and Cheney at my show, Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie’s insane sex, and why David Bryne’s hair just screams to have red wine spilled on it.

Enjoy everything!

Max Silvestri “Pellet of Pleasure” Ep. 172

Max has a new album out called King Piglet, and he’s going to be the co-host of a new television show called THE FEED.

Also: Thoughts on the new Shep Gordon documentary! The best part of sweet death! (Not promoting live shows) The gross weirdos who click on links that show you what famous babies look like growing up! Roberta at a party! And a lot of thoughts on TAXICAB CONFESSIONS.

Feed my Frankenstein!
