Happy Life Day, brothers and sisters! This week it's Star Wars. NOTHING BUT STAR WARS. Give us those Star Wars! Don't let them end! Unsurprisingly, Matt and Quintin have seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens. HUGE SPOILERS inside as they talk about lightsabers, tiny alien creatures and the childlike wonder of seeing a Star Wars movie they liked! It's a Space Christmas Miracle.

After last week's naughtiness and punishment, Matt and Quintin return with lists they're checking twice, talking about their 5 favorite Christmas movies, with a couple of extra shout outs and mentions for good cheer. Some traditional, some disputed, but all about the reason for the season. The reason for the season is watching ABC Family for 20 straight night, right?

Rolling Krampus

Matt and Quintin have been very, very naughty boys this holiday season. So bad, in fact, Santa has sent THREE different Krampuses (Krampi?) to the Cult this week! The guys watched the films Krampus: The Reckoning, A Christmas Horror Story and Krampus and tell you which filmmakers will be receiving whippings...and probably lickings. Because that's how Krampus rolls.

This week, Matt and Quintin talk about five things that snuck up on them. Shocking tales of movies, games and TV that simply appeared from nowhere, seeming to manifest from the ether and straight into their eyeball holes. Come on in and hear tales of the pop culture that popped up and said "BOO!", but then stuck around in our hearts and minds.

This week, Matt and Quintin watched The Hunger Games : Mockingjay, Part 2. They talk about missed opportunities, weird pacing, poor motivations and Donald Sutherland's charming evil laugh. That guy is a real straight shooter. Tells it like it is. Builds walls to separate the districts, you know? Man, that sounds familiar. Anyway, volunteer as tribute and listen to this episode! We promise more than one of you will make it out alive (but we're not responsible for the psychological scarring listening to our rambling will inflict).

This week Matt and Quintin talk about board games behaving badly. Or at least board games influencing people to act like complete jerk stores. Tales of accused cheating and domestic disputes abound. Plus the greatest insult ever. So come on in, flip a game boarde, curse at some children and stop talking to your friends and family! It'll feel like that awkward holiday all over again! Yeah, that's right, you know the one...

This week, Matt and Quintin Journey into Imagination, have an Extra TERRORestrial Alien Encounter, and dine at Prime Time as they talk about their favorite Disney theme park ride characters. Will Matt and Quintin escape the Disney Vault? What even is the difference between Toad Hell and Regular Hell? Find out, dear listeners!

This week, Matt and Quintin have read Felicia Day's book, You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost), and are confronted with the fact that the internet is a cold, unfeeling place. Like space, but with more kittens and terrible jpegs we all wish we could scrub from our brains. Felicia's pioneering Internet series The Guild leads them to talking about Broad City, Garfunkel and Oates and Melissa Hunter. You'll be glad you made the trip from North Brother Island for this one!

Another week, another discussion from the psychologically damaged duo of Matt and Quintin. But what's this? This is Halloween, so episode delves deep into what could have caused this deep psychic scarring and unsurprisingly, it's pop culture related. They talk about the movies that scared them as kids and turned them into the bathroom avoiding, clown fearing, "functional" adults they are today!

Everyone has a zombie survival plan...except for the Bubble Gum Cult. This week, Matt and Quintin embrace their inevitable doom and talk about apocalypses they wouldn't survive. Whether it be zombies, multiple kinds of space rocks or primitive primate brain surgery, they know they're not making it out of this one alive.

This week, Matt and Quintin forgo their usual hate-filled complaint fest to talk about things they, uh, hate. Wait, come back, it's different this time! Now they love those things they hated! They each talk about a grab bag of fiveish things they changed their mind about.

This week, Bubble Gum Cult returns to one of its favorite pastimes: hating on The Walking Dead. But what's this? There's a NEW Walking Dead spin off, Fear the Walking Dead? Well that calls for a celebration! Since it's a show about family, we made this one a family affair, with Matt's sister Laurie joining Matt and Quintin to continually ask if the show is OK. Is it? Are you OK, Fear the Walking Dead? You look sick. Guys, I think Fear the Walking Dead is sick.

22 - Immortan Joe Was a Fashion Don't at the Emmys

This week, Matt and Quintin talk about the Emmys...the awards. Not Emmy Rossum. Thought she was probably there! After that, Matt finally watched Mad Max: Fury Road, Quintin's favorite movie of the year. I wonder how that turned out!

The glorious return! Matt and Quintin are finally back after an 18 month absense. This week, they talk about Sam Esmail's USA series Mr. Robot, the tale of a socially inept hacker (Rami Malek) who never got around to seeing Stargate or Timecop but totally saw Fight Club! We talk about the whole series, so fair warning to those who haven't watched it yet.
