Radio Labyrinth

Robert Carradine — best known as Lewis Skolnick in Revenge of the Nerds and as Sam McGuire on Lizzie McGuire — has died at 71. His family confirmed he died by suicide after a long battle with bipolar disorder, hoping that sharing his struggle might help reduce the stigma around mental health.This week on Radio Labyrinth, we reflect on Carradine’s legacy, the iconic Carradine acting family, and what his loss means to a generation that grew up quoting Nerds and watching Disney Channel after school.

to ask. This week on Radio Labyrinth, we dive into the controversy, speculation, and politics that always seem to swirl around the Olympic Games. Is it corruption? Bias? National favoritism? Or just internet-fueled paranoia?From there, we cover a packed week in pop culture:We remember Jesse Jackson, Robert Duvall, and Tom Noonan — celebrating their impact on film, television, and culture.We break down:* David Boreanaz heading to Atlanta for NBC’s reboot of The Rockford Files* Ted Levine reflecting on The Silence of the Lambs* Shia LaBeouf and the Mardi Gras arrest saga* The Van Der Beek GoFundMe debate* Episode 5 of A Knight of the Seven KingdomsPlus:

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we welcome author Scott A. Young to discuss Fabricants, the explosive second installment in The Manifold Series — and the audiobook is narrated by our own Tim Andrews.After awakening from stasis on a galaxy-crossing colony mission, commanders Trapp and Bretta discover something terrifying: hundreds of Fabricants — the colony’s synthetic workforce — have been neatly disassembled into lifeless piles. The survivors? Violent. Unstable. Rogue.Tim also shares what it’s like narrating high-stakes sci-fi — finding the voice of commanders, synthetic beings, and galaxy-spanning tension inside a recording booth.Then we expand the conversation into the larger audiobook boom — sparked by recent buzz around Stephen King’s upcoming Talisman trilogy finale — and why more readers are choosing to listen instead of read.If you’re into The Expanse, Blake Crouch-style paranoia, or smart sci-fi that asks whether humanity is destined to be destroyed by its own creations — this episode is for you.

This week on the Radio Labyrinth Podcast, we welcome back returning guest Allen Stare, the voice behind WKRPCast and Severed, to talk about his brand-new podcast Hello, Carol, a companion show for Apple TV+’s Pluribus.Allen joins us to break down what makes Pluribus such a compelling watch, why it deserved a dedicated podcast, and what listeners can expect as Hello, Carol rolls out with its first episode now available. We talk podcasting instincts, fandom done right, and why some shows just beg to be unpacked episode by episode.Before Allen jumps in, we hit a few quick pop-culture stops: a rapid ranking of the best Super Bowl commercials of 2026, the increasingly cursed trend of AI work caricatures, and brief nods to the recent losses of Catherine O’Hara, Demond Wilson, and Chuck Negron — legends all.We also squeeze in a quick check-in on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, because of course we do.Insightful conversation, podcast nerdery, and just enough chaos to feel like home — it’s another week in the Labyrin

This week on the Radio Labyrinth Podcast, we kick things off with a special guest—comedian, actor, writer, and director Steve Byrne, who joins us ahead of his Atlanta shows at Punchline Comedy Club.Steve talks about the most memorable (and chaotic) shows he’s played in Atlanta, what’s next for him behind the camera, and whether he’s still plotting the eventual demise of Tony Scar from Kill Tony. We also give love to his films Always Amazing and The Opening Act, and dig into what draws him to telling stories beyond the stand-up stage.After that, we check in on life post S’nope 2026—surviving days trapped inside with a toddler, mild generator-related injuries, and watching Superman through the very loud, very concerned commentary of a small child (“Is Super Dog OK??”). We also touch on what we are and definitely are not watching right now, including thoughts on A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and a firm pass on becoming Trek-olytes.Cold weather, comedy road stories, filmmaking, and just enough chaos—another wee

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we stare down the Atlanta ice storm—or whatever version of it actually shows up. Two days ago we were all doomed, today it’s “mostly rain,” and YouTube weather channels are somewhere in between sounding the apocalypse siren. We talk storm panic, forecast whiplash, and the fine line between preparation and full-blown weather doom-scrolling.Then we pivot to pop culture comfort food with a debate over TV’s greatest neighbor characters, sparked by a recent Washington Post ranking. From classic sitcom legends to chaotic wild cards, everyone brings their personal Top 3—and no, we do not all agree.Cold weather, hot takes, and the eternal question: who’s the best neighbor in TV history—and why is everyone wrong except you?

This week on Radio Labyrinth, it’s the return of BAIT GATE — and it’s chaos. Tim won’t stop queerbaiting, Lizzi triggers the easily triggered, and Tim reads exactly one YouTube comment this week… shoutout to Robey. We touch on the other comments, but only briefly — you’ll see why.Then, it’s on to Celebrity Criminals — a segment we wish we didn’t need, but here we are:* Daniel Stern (Home Alone) is caught in a motel sting in California.* Kiefer Sutherland lands a felony charge after an altercation with a ride-share driver.* Timothy Busfield faces disturbing new allegations tied to a growing case involving minors.We also talk about Golden Globes chaos, give a big congrats to Rhea Seehorn, and get a fresh Redd Boxx review of the big winner One Battle After Another.It’s a wild ride — from triggering takes to Hollywood arrests — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.Watch the YouTube Version: https://youtu.be/UYKYJBuuRGU

New year, new season — welcome to Season 11 of the Radio Labyrinth Podcast.We kick things off with a special guest to start the year right: Randy Havens, best known as Hawkins High’s beloved science teacher Mr. Clarke from Stranger Things.Randy joins us first to talk about the final season of Stranger Things, his experience being part of one of the biggest shows of the past decade, and what it’s like watching fan theories spiral in real time — including the infamous “Conformity Gate” moment that was supposed to happen while we were recording. We also dig into Randy’s roots as an Atlanta actor and how the rise of Hollywood in the ATL has changed opportunities for working performers outside of L.A.After the interview, we rewind and catch up on the holidays. The crew compares Christmas and New Year survival stories, sickness spreading like dominoes, family chaos, very little sleep, and way too much Stranger Things on repeat. We also touch on recent watches, books, AI rabbit holes, and the usual end-of-year pop-

We wrap up 2025 and Season 10 of Radio Labyrinth with a special guest and a little reflection. This week we’re joined by Emmy-winning special effects artist Lee Romaire, whose work spans film, television, and cutting-edge animatronics. Lee talks practical effects, realism in creature design, and his work connected to Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein — plus why physical effects still matter in a CG-heavy world. Since this is S10-Ep50, we also look back at some of our favorite guests of the year and talk about what’s ahead as we roll into Season 11.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we take a heartfelt look back at the career of Rob Reiner—from All in the Family to one of the most legendary directing runs of the Gen-X era. We also touch on It: Welcome to Derry, say goodbye to Gil Gerard and Anthony Geary, and wrap things up holiday-style. Short show, big legacy.

This week on Radio Labyrinth Podcast, a last-minute guest cancellation turns into a lean, off-the-rails episode where we just roll with it. We kick things off by talking about how shockingly good the new Frankenstein film turned out, before diving deep into the penultimate episode of IT: Welcome to Derry and what it’s setting up for the finale — themes, tone, and whether the show is actually sticking the landing. From there, we hit Hollywood news, including reports of Andy Dick’s latest overdose and Gene Simmons doing the most Gene Simmons thing imaginable in Washington, D.C. We wrap things up with a quick round of Views or Snooze, keeping it short and sweet this week. No overthinking. No filler. Just horror talk, pop-culture chaos, and a tight episode you can knock out in one sitting. Watch the show on YouTube: https://youtu.be/iqDH7LU3OZc

This week Dustin kicks things off with his David Byrne recap (ft. Michael Shannon energy) and a shout-out to St. Paul & The Broken Bones on The Tonight Show 12/8. We also run through our Spotify Wrapped 2025 and roast each other accordingly. ⭐️ TOPIC 1 — The Best Christmas Specials Ever We go through TimeOut’s list and then immediately derail into our own picks — classics, weird ones, cartoons, South Park moments, and the one Christmas special or movie we absolutely have to watch every year. Plus we talk post-2000s Christmas episodes, including:• The Sopranos — Bobby as Santa, Paulie threatening him, a kid telling Santa “F*** you.” A holiday mood.• Aqua Teen Hunger Force — Meatwad’s cursed t-shirt, “Horror Claus,” and Santa getting rebuilt with soccer-ball skin. Totally normal Christmas stuff. We also read your Patreon & Facebook picks, featuring everything from Die Hard debates to Bad Santa, Ernest Saves Christmas, Home Alone, The Ref, and more. ⭐️ TOPIC 2 — STRANGER THINGS (Final Season!) Everyone

It’s the night before Thanksgiving and the Labyrinth is running on pure chaos, carbs, and zero show prep. With no show sheet and no plan (classic), the crew naturally drifts into the biggest online argument of the week: Variety’s “100 Best Comedy Movies of All Time” list that has social media melting down. We break down their Top 10, share what they nailed, what they butchered, and what absolutely does not belong anywhere near a “Best Comedy Ever” list. From cult classics to Gen-X essentials, we get into which films still make us laugh and which ones make us go “…really?” Plus, a little pre-holiday small talk about what we’re watching, what we’re avoiding, and what movies we’re forcing on unsuspecting family members this weekend. Then we wrap things up with our Staff Picks before sending you all off to eat too much and argue with relatives. Our upcoming Atlanta Pizza & Gyro Holiday Hootenanny, happening Sunday, December 7th from 1–4 PM in Conyers. No live show, no pressure — just hanging out with fell

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we welcome our buddy George Clark from VHD for a full-blown, behind-the-curtain Skankfest recap — straight from the perspective of a volunteer gofer who saw everything (maybe more than he ever wanted). George breaks down what Skankfest really is, what it's like to run around for three days for the most unhinged comics in America, and the embarrassing, drunken encounter he had with Kim Congdon and Luis J. Gomez.He even got to hang with Doug Stanhope, so you know there are stories. We talk favorite sets, surprise moments, the best and worst shows, and basically every comic who melted the walls in Vegas this year — Big Jay Oakerson, Shane Gillis, Mark Normand, Ms. Pat, Ari Shaffir, Tim Dillon, Jessica Kirson, Robert Kelly, Pauly Shore, Eddie Pepitone, Uncle Lazer, and a ridiculous amount more. Then we slide into our Thanksgiving chatter — including Jeff’s fancy-bologna sandwich plans, turkey talk, holiday traditions, and the relatable chaos of preparing for the big day. (Plus the

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we’re diving into the blood-spattered fun of the new Shudder/AMC reality horror series Guts & Glory! We’re joined by comedian, game show host, and producer FRANK NICOTERO—who also happens to be cousin to the legendary Greg Nicotero—and friend-of-the-show JOSH WARREN, who competed on the series. Frank and Josh break down what it was really like behind the scenes: the challenges, the chaos, the laughs, and the Nicotero-family madness that went into making one of the wildest reality shows of the year. We talk horror, practical effects, game show energy, and how Guts & Glory blends all of it into something fans have NEVER seen before. Plus: Tim, Jeff, Dustin, and Lizzie dig into all the usual Radio Labyrinth nonsense. KEEP IT CANON!

This week, the gang dives headfirst into the weird, wild world of AI video creation — from Sora 2 and Grok to the strange new internet characters they’re spawning. Tim shares how he’s been using Sora to make surreal videos for Gilbert (and inventing a whole alternate-dimension being named Gob-Loaf along the way), while Dustin and Lizzie trade their own AI stories and Jeff admits he’s just waiting until they let you make porn. We also tackle the viral Food Stamp “Toast Lady” video that fooled half of TikTok (spoiler: she’s not real — just another AI fever dream). In Views or Snooze, the crew previews the week’s big streaming drops: * Death by Lightning (Netflix) — Michael Shannon brings President Garfield back from the dead (metaphorically). * Frankenstein (Netflix) — Guillermo del Toro’s gothic vision finally arrives… a week late for Halloween. * Pluribus (Apple TV+) — Vince Gilligan returns with Rhea Seehorn in a mysterious new drama. * Plus: Jeff’s culinary Staff Pick — the Whataburger patty melt with a

This week, we wrap up spooky season with an interview you don’t want to miss Casper Kelly, the twisted mind behind Too Many Cooks, Adult Swim Yule Log, and now V/H/S Halloween! Casper joins us to talk about his new segment “Fun Size” in V/H/S Halloween, his approach to mixing humor and horror, and why the genre’s weirder side is often the most honest. We also dig into his creative process, and the unexpected path that led him from surreal late-night sketch chaos to horror anthology fame. Then, the gang breaks down Welcome to Derry Episode 1, the It prequel series that dives into Pennywise’s first cycle of terror in the 1960s.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we welcome the one and only Rhonda Shear, the legendary host of USA’s Up All Night, the cult-classic late-night show that defined ‘90s cable TV. From campy B-movies and offbeat sketches to her unforgettable chemistry with Gilbert Gottfried, Rhonda became a pop culture icon—and now she’s back and better than ever! Rhonda joins us to talk about her brand-new series “Up All Night with Rhonda Shear” premiering on the Kings of Horror YouTube Channel, and what fans can expect from this next chapter. We dive into her Hollywood career, her time on shows like Happy Days, Full House, and Married... with Children, her cult film roles in Spaceballs and her evolution into a powerhouse entrepreneur with Rhonda Shear Intimates and the award-winning Ahh Bra. From B-movies to bras, Rhonda has done it all—and she’s here to share the laughs, the stories, and a sneak peek at what’s next for the queen of camp herself.

This week’s episode takes a sharp turn into the shadows as we welcome back actor Josh Warren, who joins us fresh off his appearance in Shudder’s new reality competition series “Guts and Glory,” produced by none other than Greg Nicotero of The Walking Dead fame. Josh shares what it’s like to be on the blood-soaked set (at least as much as his NDA allows), and gives us a peek behind the curtain of this wild new horror challenge. Then, we go full slasher mode as the gang dives headfirst into every Halloween movie in the Michael Myers franchise — all 13 of them. From Carpenter’s classic to Rob Zombie’s gritty remakes to the recent Blumhouse trilogy, we rank, debate, and resurrect decades of Haddonfield mayhem. It’s a killer combo of horror nostalgia, behind-the-scenes talk, and pop-culture carnage that only Radio Labyrinth could deliver.
