Molten Projectors, a “Pretty Sneaky Sis,” and the Un-sexiest Organs in Cinema
Episode 58 is a red-hot blast of overheated projectors, childhood propaganda films, and board games that taught us nothing but trust issues. Jeff flashes back to I Am Joe’s Heart , a short film that accidentally invented medical anxiety in children, while Chris relives the sweaty pressure of threading a film strip like a bomb tech in a polyester vest. The boys debate whether Mouse Trap was a game or just an elaborate toy-based lie, and they revisit educational films that showed real lung removals to 12-year-olds.
Also in this episode:
- Danny Bonaduce’s underage draft notice earns Chris 102,000 points.
- A Kids in the Hall cocktail earns Jeff 90K and a paper umbrella.
- A narrator-heart with body dysmorphia walks us through heart disease.
- And the mystery of why every child actor in commercials sounded like a 50-year-old Brooklyn bookie.
Plus: upside-down vision experiments gone horribly wrong, Home Alone trivia bombs, and a pitch for Jesus: The Back of His Head – The Motion Picture .
This one’s hot to the touch and full of cinematic nonsense— handle with oven mitts .
