Teek – SAINt JHN – Ghetto Lenny’s Love Songs 

G1: Wu-Assassins on Netflix 

We also give Rapsody her flowers and congratulate her on the release of her new album “Eve”

This week saw the continuation of the King of The Ring Tournament on both Raw and Smackdown and needless to say some brackets got busted!  MatManiacs is your favorite still in it?  Sasha Banks continues get the upper hand on Natty as they squared off. Tag team turmoil made a surprise return and the winners are even more surprising…We also saw Randy Orton continue to bring the aggression to Kofi and The New Day!

Before closing the show out the boys break down the huge weekend that AEW has coming up! Will CM Punk make any major announcements?  Will he be one of Jerichos partners?  We will find out Saturday!  The fellas also make their picks for the All Out card, MatManiacs what are you looking forward to the most?

It’s been a while since the last time we got to fawn over Phil Fondacaro’s charm, so Brian did us the favor of picking THE CREEPS (1997), also known by the incredibly insensitive alternate title DEFORMED MONSTERS! Is this the worst acting we’ve ever seen on Horror Movie Night? Matt thinks so, but he also seems to forget about TERROR TOONS and DRIVE THRU… Watch as diminutive versions of the Universal Monsters terrorize people who took half of an acting class, possibly while drunk or half asleep. It’s kind of like watching THE MONSTER SQUAD in the wrong aspect ratio. Or nothing like that at all, we can’t tell anymore.

With all 3 members of DisNeato traveling like crazy we didn’t find any time to sit down and record this week. So here’s a blooper of Andrew explaining his lunch to Brooke for 5 minutes. Enjoy!

If you’re like us, you were a weird virgin in high school who probably went through a dizzying amount of hand lotion for mysterious reasons Mom didn’t want to acknowledge. Come with us on a journey down Memory Lane, which dead ends at CHERRY FALLS (2000), this week’s decidedly un-erotic slasher about teens banging their way away from a cross-dressing Jay Mohr. The nostalgia factor is running about as high as our hormones in 2000, but hopefully our desperation doesn’t scare you away like the overpowering cologne we borrowed from someone after gym. Just like us, please?????

We are back once again with another edition of the MatMania Podcast. Tonight it’s ROK, Teek and G1 holding it down and there’s a lot to get into!

Put Overs:

Rok:  Secret Empire (Graphic Novel)

Teek – Flee Lord & 38 Spesh – “Loyalty and Trust” album. 

G1: Mortal Kombat 11

Before the boys do a deep dive into the world of professional wrestling they also discuss the surprise drop from Little Brother!  After that the boys are off to the races!

This week it was announced that NXT will be moving to the USA network to counter AEW!  Are we ready for the Wednesday night wars?  We also get into the King of the Ring tournament and again name our favorites.  Over to Raw and Smackdown the boys break down The Fiend “killing legends” and ROK poses the question “Is Bray Wyatt the Legend Killer 2.0”, Teek also mentions that Randy Orton is not in his Top 50 all time…MatManiacs your thoughts???

Burial of the Week: Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon 

Snack of The Week: Charly Caruso

We’ve been threatening to do this for a while but we finally did. We sat down and discussed some of the hidden filth that you can find in Disney cartoons. Spoiler alert, it’s a lot of male sex organs.

In Matt’s continuing efforts to make his friends watch questionable giant killer animal movies, he has chosen THE LAST SHARK from 1981 to punish Brian and Scott with this week, and hoo boy. This film was such a blatant JAWS ripoff, that it was pulled from US theaters, which would’ve inadvertently saved dozens of people from wasting their time and money on watching it in 1981. But thanks to the digital age, here we are, wasting time and money watching and discussing a movie where a rubber shark drags an entire helicopter into the ocean. Summer’s almost over, and so is your chance to get that beach bod toned up by a few chomps from a Great White!

Andrew is in Atlanta so Brooke and Producer Matt sit down and discuss their feelings on the newest Disney release The Lion King!

The team and Katie checked out Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark which came out this weekend so you didn’t have to and final verdict is you should see it and then listen to our episode!

The crew is back with a run in from Mega Ran real quick! Travel well commander! This is the go home show! We do a quick recap on RAW and Smack Down before we get into Summer Slam and NXT Takeover Toronto II. The RAW and Smack Down build up is a little blended together, but we try to make sense of it! First, congratulations R-Truth! You got your baby back! #24/7Title! Super Roman can withstand falling scaffolding, car crashes, and maybe even bullets! He does wear a vest. Kofi vs Randy, Brock vs Seth, and maybe Kevin Owens will join AEW. Who do you think will win? 

There is so much wrestling we couldn’t even cover! Triplemania XXVII and the G1 from NJPW is still on and exciting! @theneoecks would love to know your thoughts on the tournament. So be sure to follow, like, share, subscribe, and pay that money! 

Put Overs: 

Neo: Kengan Ashura – Netflix

Rok: Joe Budden (Put some respect on this man’s name)

Teek: Teek’s New Baby Alayna

This week @roknowledge put together an all Joe Budden playlist for y’all. No “Pump it Up” is not on this. If you’re not familiar with Joe, this should help! Press play and enjoy!

We’re heading back to the killer doll well to talk alien demons, robot laser tag and the diminishing returns of Full Moon franchises with PUPPET MASTER 4! We are joined by our buddy Vincent DeSanti of Womp Stomp Films (director and Jason in the fantastic NEVER HIKE ALONE), who drunkenly agreed to tackle this pick with us at Pop Rock N Horror con earlier this summer. He may have the silkiest voice you’ve ever heard on our show, so bring a towel, he gon make u sweat.

Brooke is living it up at the beach but still hasn’t seen Toy Story 4 so Andrew and Producer Matt sat down and discussed their thoughts (or at least how much they remember after a month plus since they saw it).

Just when you thought you had escaped the mediocrity of the Amityville Horror franchise, we remind you that things got really weird once the evil in the house started possessing random decorations. The clock is ticking, so join our discussion about AMITYVILLE 1992: IT’S ABOUT TIME! There’s the dad from Monster Squad, the girl from PCU, and an old lady gets speared through the chest with a stork statue. Read that again. STORK. STATUE. KILL. That’s about all we need to get a good episode out of this one, but rest assured, there’s more to talk about than just that. But really. Stork statue kill.

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls it is time for the return of the most dangerous podcasting conglomerate you have ever seen, that’s right it is time for MatMania!!! 

As always to start things off we have the put over segment which leads us right into the week in Wrestling! On Raw new tag champs were crowned and the boys get into the Jimmy Uso arrest and ROK points out that Jimmy Uso took the pin…coincidence? The US title will be defended at Summer Slam and Ricochet will challenge the Phenomenal 1 AJ Styles!!!! The boys also discuss the odd booking for one Mike Kanellis, who laid down for his wife Maria so she could become the new and first ever pregnant champion. Question is, who’s going to pin a pregnant lady? To wrap up RAW the fellas discuss the absolute destruction of one Seth Rollins courtesy of The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar! Seriously is Seth alive? 

Gears are switched over to Smackdown and the boys talk the return of the legendary Trish Stratus who was rudely interrupted by Charlotte, and she clearly wants all the smoke! Are we excited to see Charlotte vs. Trish at Summer Slam? Ali battled Shinsuke which appears to be leading to a match for the IC title, and let me tell you the boys are here for it!

Outside of the WWE the boys break down the recent news from AEW as they introduce the matches that will be on their inaugural episode! Are we excited about the reveals thus far? Resident AEW insider Neo Ecks breaks it down for us! 

Put Overs:

Neo – St. Mary’s Food Bank

ROK – Rick Ross and Drakes new record “Gold Roses”

G1 – Netflix series “Another Life”

Ran – The new album from YBN Cordae

Teek – Amazon Series “The Boys”

We’re back with another round of Jam or Not a Jam discussing the first of the 5 volume “Classic Disney” releases of the late 90’s/early 2000’s. Apologies for some slight sound inconsistencies on this week’s episode.

On another installment of “It’s A Movie,” your boys at HMN hit the beach and bring home some blood-thirsty mutant babies with Larry Cohen’s classic (?) IT’S ALIVE 3: ISLAND OF THE ALIVE (1987). There’s a whole lot of Michael Moriarty chewing scenery, some stop-motion really doing it for Matt, and some real Troma-esque rubber suit fighting under the pier near the end. It’s got everything a summer blockbuster needs….right? Squeeze out some sunscreen for us so we don’t get burned any more than we already did with this week’s pick on Horror Movie Night!

MatManiacs it is time for the reunion that you actually want to see!  That’s right the whole crew is back together again recording live from the illustrious DigiLabs Arena. 

The fellas super kick things off with the Put Over segment and then get right into the biggest news of the week courtesy of AEW! With the AEW announcement will we see some counter programming from the WWE?  Speaking of the WWE, they had a reunion this past Monday night and let’s just it may or may not get buried!  Also discussed is one of the illustrious Big 4 pay per views being a little over 2 weeks away and the build being minimal at this point.  Will the WWE get it together in time for SummerSlam? We switch gears and get into the G1 Climax and Teek hits us with a hot take on the finish!  Enjoy and as always, Keep Your Shoulders Off The Mat!! 

Put over:

Teek – Movie: Yesterday

G1 – Meek Mill

Neo – taco chronicles – Netflix 

Ran – Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 

Rok  – Nas – lost tapes 2

A few weeks ago our listener Daniel sent us a list of the 28 hottest Disney men (according to Nerdist) and needless to say … we have some issues. Listen as Brooke and Andrew break down who made the list, their bizarre placements and who SHOULD be on the list.

Having just finished a wrestling filled weekend, the Mat Mania Crew give you their takes on Extreme Rules, WWE & AEW. Who is a better opponent for Brock Lesnar? And more importantly, the lament of Andrade’s current position.

On AEW, we talk about our favorite moments, and the current state of the brand. Do you think WWE purposely aired Evolve to counter-program AEW Fight for the Fallen? Oh, and is Luchasaurs Mexican? All that and more on this week’s episode. #WrestlingIsFun

It’s no secret we relish bad horror movies on the show, but sometimes even bad horror can be in bad taste. Take, for example, this week’s urban clown demon mess KILLJOY (2000). Even with a runtime of just over an hour, this one was pretty painful for everyone, so thanks for that, Brian. Watching it as an anti-drug PSA at points may help viewers avoid smoking hell-joints that look like Pepperidge Farm Pirouettes or buying drugs from a pointy-toothed clown with stupid hair. Maybe. Get lit and listen to us try to unravel this low-budget mystery on another episode of Horror Movie Night!

There’s been a ton of controversy around the Little Mermaid but we hear at the DisNeato Podcast believe the focus has been all wrong! We break down the true casting issues and discuss Beyonce’s new track and the Mulan trailer this week on the DisNeato Podcast.

In space…. no one can help you solve a demonic Rubik’s Cube. That’s why you build a robot that will eventually get exploded (to it’s hilarious surprise)! We’re talking Cenobites in space this week with HELLRAISER: BLOODLINE (1996), and there are a lot fewer corsets in the Age of Enlightenment flashbacks than Scott remembered. We console ourselves though with some demo-dogs and the less-well-known Twisted Twins, which are actually pretty progressive for a couple mid-90s security guards – good for you, Twin Cenobites! Strap in for one hell of an afterburner with your favorite masters of pain on another episode of Horror Movie Night!

The fearsome fivesome is back in the groove with another high octane episode. We talk the upcoming weekend’s shows and put over the US Women’s National Team, Westside Gunn’s new album, Jay Z purchasing a cannabis company, the movie “Booksmart,” and a Chemical Brothers classic. There’s too many PPVs this weekend, so decisions have to be made. What are you guys watching? We also bury fake fighting at concerts and much more! Thanks for tuning in. Questions? Hit us on Twitter at @matmaniapodcast. #WrestlingIsFun!

Rok hooked y’all up with a Mos Def playlist that you’re gonna love, peep that here: https://open.spotify.com/user/1260670929/playlist/5tm9y7oWDQL7z10S33m0Pa?si=Jwvorb3hS3KoGZgdM20MYQ

With the newest season of Jersey Shore dropping this month Brooke and Andrew go through the original Jersey Shore cast and decide who the Disney equivalents for each character would be.

Hello and happy Independence Day! We are back from Fyter Fest, tanned and ready to bring you the latest. We take a walk through the “new and improved” RAW, twitter apologies, preview the G1 Climax and we bury unprotected chair shots. Thanks for listening and keep your shoulders off the mat!

Four Years and over 200 episodes and we’re still going. Enjoy this week while we take a break but walk you through the memory lane of our favorite moments this year (specifically from Episode 141-Episode 190)

We found out recently that our co-worker Phil not only is a listener of the podcast, but went to Disneyland Paris for the first ever Disney Sanctioned Pride Day. So we sat down with him in our office (So audio may be a little echo-y) and got the whole scoop on what went down!

Happy Pride Month! As we work the kinks out for new format live on air, The Mat Mania crew discusses the week in wrestling from a unique perspective. What is going on with the internet wrestling community??! Subtweets, not so sub-tweets and more this week. Who should just stop tweeting and meet up in Tokyo? WWE put on a solid PPV so we give them props for that, and we talk Fyter Fest, which is this weekend! Your boys Mega Ran and Neoecks will be in the building reporting live, and conducting a special Mat Mania Podcast onsite at CEO Daytona! See us on Friday at 3PM at the Ocean Center! Also, is the WWE universe ready for a mature LGBT+ storyline? We say it’s time.  Get the full episode on Patreon! As always, thanks for listening!

In our continued efforts to discuss every killer doll movie ever made, as well as to coincide with the reboot now in theaters, your hosts revisited some kinder-trauma with 1990’s CHILD’S PLAY 2! We come to a general consensus that this is the best entry in the series, though maybe not everyone’s favorite (ahem Brian), and spend the entire episode gushing over how good the Chucky effects look. We’re all smile because we have a friend til the end this week and forevermore here on Horror Movie Night!

Last month all 3 of us saw Aladdin and immediately recorded our thoughts but we wanted to give y’all a month to make your own thoughts before we shared ours. Spoiler Alert, we loved it. Enjoy our in-depth discussion on why this movie is magical and why Producer Matt drinks juice like a baby.
