Head Cannon

Brent blindsides Corey with surprise guest Sean Jones to discuss 1984's The Toxic Avenger, radioactive piss, the evolution of bigotry in the U.S., red pill online culture, firing photon torpedoes at Moby Dick, planting seeds of divorce, and how Brent was a year early to see Jim Gaffigan. He's stressin' me, Julie!

Brent and Corey welcome back podcast favorite and national firefighter Anthony Pedersen (Octopus/Caveman) to discuss 2019's Color Out of Space, what a monumental loser Elon Musk is, Barbie leg swastikas, giving your significant other magenta balls, why Jimmy Kimmel owes Anthony a shirt, and we reveal the identity of Jeffrey Epstein's pilot. Don't forget to feed your mother/brother!

Brent and Corey welcome first time guest and My Chemical Romance superfan Jacob McReynolds to discuss 1977's Suspiria, Brent and Corey's improv history, German slap-dancing, the history of giallo, Corey and Jacob's short film, and the journey of the Suspiria theme song through hip hop. Settle into our large, communal bedroom and listen to this episode!

As Brent and Corey wait for a guest who is ultimately unable to make it, they discuss the killing of Brian Thompson, and his alleged assailant Luigi Mangione, referencing sources such as Mariame Kaba's "We Do This 'Til We Free Us," weighing the inherent patriarchal harm of violence and requisite psychological damage of a person capable of violence against the peaceful capitulation to a system (and the few individuals who benefit from that system) that is causing human suffering, ecological collapse, and very likely human extinction. 

Brent and Corey welcome back one of our regular and favorite guests Nicole Bruce to discuss The Lebowski Bar in Iceland, the rhotic R, Corey battling poison ivy, vapes on a plane, and at about 40 minutes in, we even talk a little bit about 1992's Death Becomes Her. Listen to this episode and be young forever!

Brent and Corey welcome back Devon Sawa's biggest fan, Melissa Poole, to discuss 1999's Idle Hands, The Fat Lady Party, family-friendly comedians being filthy, the myth of an inevitably progressive trajectory, the milk bidet, and Granny's 13 fingers and 13 husbands. Listen to this episode and help us use this Druidic knife on some high school kids!

Brent and Corey welcome back Head Cannon regular JT Robinson to discuss hitting too much Plutonian Nyborg before getting on a plane, Facebook beefs, oppression in counterculture movements, our love of Akira, and we even spend a couple minutes talking about 1981's Heavy Metal. Let this green orb turn you into a puddle of goo.

Before the episode on The Grudge with Tim Cook, Brent and Corey discuss their first jobs, behind the scenes at movie theaters, dispensaries, and the surveillance state.

Brent and Corey welcome first time guest Tim Cook to discuss 2004's The Grudge, eggs Benedict tips, Tom Cruise's real name, the ubiquity of animated narutomaki, the Japanese equivalent of Freddy vs. Jason, babying a man-child, Corey's carnitas recipe, and buying houses in unincorporated areas and in neighborhoods with HOAs. Don't let your obsession with us create a curse that will consume all who encounter it with its fury!

Brent and Corey enjoy a slightly different format as we preview a movie that is soon coming to streaming - 2023's Children of the Pines. We got an advance screener of the film and want to tell you all about it! Actual discussion of the movie starts about 16 minutes in. You know we gotta BS about some BS first! Listen to this episode and check out Children of the Pines on streaming starting this Friday 10/18!
