Carlos tries to list famous jewels! Alison is here to yuck-your-yums! Still waiting for Carlos to endorse her on Linkedin. Implied babes. We meet Glob Prime, manager to the stars!

Actually Pretty Typical

Season 2 Episode 3 - Glob Prime

Welcome to episode 2! Were you expecting to hear about Ryan Gosling and the robot apocalypse, well BUCKLE UP!! Carlos scratches the surface of the question of AI and Alison gives us her philosophy on the subject: Don't be shitty to robots! A major bomb is dropped in this episode about a new member of the So Weird family. Carlos sings! Is EVD leaving the show?!? We speculate wildly. We get into the absolute GALL of Squatch, child endangerment, car problems, taking the driving test, and our WORST green screen so far! Mackenzie Phillips over Ryan Gosling any day, all day. Shoutout to @UCSantaCruz and don't forget to edit that Wiki for Paul Lynch, Sweirdos!

Season 2 Episode 2 - David Lynch's Drive 2

We’re baaaaaack!!! The long wait is over and Alison and Carlos are ready to shower you with the sweet melodic sounds of complaints and opinions about one of the world’s greatest artistic treasures: Disney’s So Weird. Let’s get into it! This season opener is a doozy. Molly and her family have a home! Fiona has an irl friend! We discuss the shady business of Mediums and Carlos finally gets to talk about Houdini!!! Get ready for a Joe Dirt and Flags of Our Fathers recap! Will Alison relate every episode of this season to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Hercules Legendary Journeys? Will Carlos find a perfect metaphor in his favorite video game or episode of West World?! You’ll have to listen to find out - unless you’re a MEDIUM?!?!

Season 2 Episode 1 - Long Island Medium

Surprise! It’s time to dive in to Lords of Dogtown..For Tweens! We’re back with guests (Alexis Gay from way back in the day, and Michelle Morales from well...now!) We dive into our DCOM love and explore Alexis’ never-ending, abiding love of EVD (despite how much of a sociopath Brink can be). We talk about how Gabriela is the REAL hero of the movie (and Brink should not get off that easy…) and imagine the sequel set 20 years later, starring Brink and Val’s daughter...also wtf this was based off of a novel from 1865???!! Catch Alexis and Alison performing with Happy Medium Improv (happymediumimprov.com) Also catch Michelle performing with Classic Diane at Endgames on their Harold Nights! (endgamesimprov.com)

Bonus: Brink!

The time has come, as we explore the haunted halls of [hospital name redacted]. Ghost EMF Phone App: Prepped. Bodies: Corporeal (For Now). Vivian guides us through the maze of bewilderment and horror (also some styrofoam boxes and IT Equipment) as we try to channel a ghost and become the Fiona’s we all knew we were.

Bonus: The Ghost Hunt (Hell Hath No Fury…)

We review the final episode of this season with a special guest (Vivian Nguyen) in a haunted hospital! Listen as our guest guides us through the spirit world and we talk about whatever a Will-o'-the-wisp is, pool sharks, ghost hunting, and we still don’t know Gorb’s name (and we never will!). We learn that being Scottish apparently looks the same as being super high and that plain bagels are the food of the gods for fairies! This episode establishes that the spirit world is after our heroine, but will Henry Winkler stop with the offensive accents, and will Rupaul go for our ghost hunting show pitch ( The Ultimate Death Drop: Now available on itunes)? We will have to check back next season for these answers and more! Stay tuned for a special BONUS ghost hunt episode where we explore some secret rooms in the spooky hospital and really push our guest’s patience to the limits! Vivian LOVES the supernatural and when she’s not fantasizing about Sasquatch or Christian rock you can catch her performing with Endgame’s Harold team, Classic Diane!

Season 1 Episode 13 - Switchfootfan45

What’s up Cyber-Weenies, it’s Astral Projection v2! No, not really, it’s just a lady in a coma talking through the internet. At the very least, our boys Clu and Jack discover their true calling as hackey sack artists and we discover the power of wingdings! Fiona solves a mystery using the most boring computer game we’ve ever seen. We get the feeling Winkler stiffed Erik on this one cause this ep was definitely poised for a Matrix-style cyberspace romp. Alison gives us another BuffyBuffs update! Also tweet at us about car stuff cause we LOVE it!

Season 1 Episode 12 - Schrodinger's Stoner

Fiona enters a time warp as moral dilemmas about science almost drive Carlos and Alison apart as we share our sports horror stories. Kingdom Hearts and Groundhog’s Day time travel rules mess with our heads. We discussed “Who’s Cancelled?” and dunk on Bill Murray, prove me wrong on Bill Murray (but Not Chevy Chase). Also, why the hell are there so many Frasier fans?

Season 1 Episode 11 - Singularity

We start this episode with a SHOCKING UPDATE about our personal hero, EVD. What is a Tulpa? We sort of find out in this episode centered around a tiny, dickish, Judd Nelson with a super sad backstory. We learn that Roadhouse was based on Squatch’s life. Chatrooms! What are they? We finally reveal our true feeling about people with glasses. John Cho! So-weird-men! Believe people when they tell you about their Tulpas. White ladies overstepping! GHOST DAD?!! Join us as we discuss all of that and more. Don’t forget to subscribe and rate APT! While you’re there please @UCarlossus with any and all complaints. #JumpInaLakeBecauseYoureOnFire @JohnTheCho

Season 1 Episode 10 - Doodle Bob

Molly finally gets her own episode- but at what cost?! Welcome to the first episode of the preeminent Animorphs podcast, Fanimorphs! Welcome also to the preeminent Alison explaining Buffy podcast, Buf-fans! Also in this episode we discuss fancy man accents, spoon fed plot, diabetes conspiracies, and grandmas using fax machines. So Weird gets real! We also learn a great way to look smart is to rattle off some Etruscan. Fi ruins everything! Parents are dumb! This episode is really sad. We pitch our idea for the sequel to the American classic, 13 Going On 30. Is Henry Winkler immortal from buying young blood? Do we talk about the ecological implications of immortality as well as Paul Rudd? Did we just rhyme on accident??? Listen to find out.

Season 1 Episode 9 - 13 Going On 40

Fear, Love, and Strangeling. That’s all life really boils down to. In this episode, Alison and Carlos overcome some technical issues to discuss important issues like having a tight core and the exciting world of undergarment support. We also learn that sometimes Fiona is a non-believer, correct spellbook due diligence from Carlos, how to raise a preteen pokemon, the bullshit lack of magical cost in Harry Potter, that cops in hell eat frittatas, and Alison gets Winklered™! What are cop sticks? Will these kids ever do their homework? Why are Alison and Carlos trying to get #DownWithDreamworks off the ground? Listen and learn.

Season 1 Episode 8 - Your Dad's A Witch!

In this very special episode, Carlos and Alison have their first very guest (Alexis Gay) who reveals their suicide pact and that she was NOT touched by this angel. This episode is all about young love, sex, henleys,Dennis Quaid, Clu’s mystery outfit, an artsy video project, and rude house guests! We learn a lot about Alison’s interest in wigs. Carlos still thinks this episode is about a murder house. But the real question is, is this a Matrix prequel? Listen to find out! (TW/IG: @yayalexisgay, YT: Alexis Gay)

Season 1 Episode 7 - Get Gotti

Technology ruins everything! Listen to the inaugural episode of HLJ: Cult of Sorboians. Carlos sings, A LOT. So Weird “jumps the shark” from Twilight Zone to Goosebumps and we learn not to get gremlins confused with mogwai. We also learn that stopping technology+top hats+spatz= gremlins and that God’s not dead. Carlos made a new list! #BOOMERS *Correction: Roald Dahl was in the RAF

Season 1 Episode 6 - Gremlins 3

Amateur hour in the So Weird writer’s room rears its ugly head in this episode. A teen uses her powers in the dumbest way possible while Jack and Clu’s hormones reveal them into creeps. Squatch’s homeschooling is called in to question, a librarian wrestles with their internal code, and Alison has very strong opinions on hairstyles and the use of gum as a prop. So much dismay.

Season 1 Episode 5 - ASStral Projection

Squatch finally gets his own episode! So much happens in this episode: women shedding their skin, Carlos forgets the main character’s name, Bigfoot can read, union soldiers are idiots, we talk about Scooby Doo a LOT, ghost rules, and some other things. Hear the first of many of Alison’s HLJ (Hercules Legendary Journeys) references and find out which (if any) weird snacks Carlos likes to eat. Enjoy this episode and never ask us about what happened to episode 3! #whereisepisode3

Season 1 Episode 4 - Squatch Watch!

Life is weird enough, right? Wrong! Disney made a show in the 90's that made it even weirder. Why? Join Alison and Carlos as they review, rant, and question Henry Winkler on their mission to grasp the true beauty behind "So Weird". Why? We'll have to find out!!
