In this electrified episode of Get Doc’d, your hosts jack into the neon-drenched mainframe of cinema history to discuss The Making of Tron (2002) and the OG digital fever dream, Tron (1982). We’re talking Jeff Bridges in a glowing jumpsuit, evil AIs with daddy issues, and special effects so experimental they made the Academy go, “Nah, that’s cheating.” (Yes, seriously—they disqualified it for using computers. Wild.)

The hosts take you behind the scenes of this glitchy-yet-glorious cult classic, diving into the painstaking backlit animation process—aka hand-painting every frame like it’s a glowing flipbook from the future—and the real-world tech geniuses who helped bring the Grid to life. You’ll hear about how director Steven Lisberger’s video game obsession somehow turned into a Disney movie, why the documentary is just as fascinating as the film, and how Tron managed to inspire everything from The Matrix to your cousin’s NFT pitch deck.

It’s a love letter to retro-futurism, digital dreams, and the brave souls who thought, “What if we put a frisbee in cyberspace and made it awesome?” So put on your lightcycle helmet, grab your identity disc, and get ready for a nostalgic joyride through one of the most ambitious, misunderstood, and glow-in-the-dark sci-fi films ever made.

Daphne, Michael El Professor, and his son Pavao (filling in for the ever-mysterious Mr. Wilsen) crack open the first two episodes of Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?—the docuseries about the guy who really thought he was gonna trade soda points for a fighter jet.

We’re talking big marketing blunders, outrageous dreams, and whether we’d risk it all for a Harrier parked in the driveway. Spoiler: Daphne says yes, Michael says no, and Pavao… well, he’s just here for the laughs.

🚀 Stay tuned for Part 2, where we tackle the final two episodes and see if Pepsi finally delivers the jet.

In this episode of Get Doc’d, the hosts sink their teeth into John Oliver’s web-exclusive deep dive, “A History of Chuck E. Cheese: Last Squeak Tonight.” What begins as a satirical take on an animatronic icon turns into a surprisingly rich and bizarre corporate history—so naturally, Get Doc’d had to cover it. The episode explores Chuck E. Cheese’s unlikely origin story as a failed coyote costume, the strange decision to give a children’s mascot a New Jersey accent, and how a pioneering arcade-pizza hybrid navigated the rise and fall of video games in the ’80s. The hosts also unpack Oliver’s comedic framing, examining how humor serves as a vehicle for a surprisingly emotional look at brand decay, corporate consolidation (RIP ShowBiz Pizza), and the weird cultural significance of a place where kids once beat each other up over bad pizza and prize tickets. They dig into Chuck E.'s pandemic-era rebranding attempts (hello, Pasqually’s Pizza) and the fall of the animatronics. Part history and all fueled by tokens and cheese dust, this episode is a tribute to one of the strangest institutions to ever fuse capitalism, childhood, and singing rodents.

In this bonus episode, Daphne and Wilsen take a deep dive into Russians at War — a rare and controversial documentary that embeds viewers with a Russian battalion moving across the front lines in Ukraine.

With years of conflict and little media coverage from inside Russia’s war effort, this film sets out to fill that gap. It offers a raw, unfiltered look at life inside a battalion—what the soldiers see, believe, and endure—pulling back the curtain on a world often shielded from global view. The filmmakers aim to build a bridge between that world and ours, challenging us to confront uncomfortable truths.

Daphne and Wilsen explore how Russians at War walks the line between access and propaganda, empathy and accountability. They unpack the film’s ethical tightrope, its emotional weight, and what it reveals—and doesn’t—about the soldiers fighting on Russia’s side.

A tense, thought-provoking conversation you won’t want to miss.

In this episode of Get Doc’d, Daphne, Wilsen, and "El Professor" Michael dive into the satirical and thought-provoking world of I, Pastafari: A Flying Spaghetti Monster Story. This 2019 documentary, directed by Michael Arthur, follows the global movement of Pastafarianism—a parody religion that challenges the privileges often granted to organized faiths. Through humorous yet sincere efforts, Pastafarians like Niko Alm and Brother Spaghettus fight for legal recognition, religious freedom, and the right to wear colanders on their heads in official ID photos. The hosts explore how I, Pastafari cleverly uses humor as a tool for activism, raising questions about the definition of religion, the intersection of belief and bureaucracy, and the role of satire in public discourse. Daphne, Wilsen, and Michael unpack its deeper implications while sharing their favorite moments, biggest laughs, and the questions that stuck with them long after the credits rolled. Whether you're a documentary fan, a lover of irreverent humor, or curious about the line between parody and protest, this episode serves up a hearty plate of insight—with a side of spaghetti. R’amen!

This week on Get Doc’d, Daphne, El Professor Michael and Wilsen dive headfirst into the glorious chaos that is Winnebago Man, the documentary about Jack Rebney—the most foul-mouthed RV pitchman in American history and the unwilling godfather of viral video rage. If you’ve ever screamed at your job, your coworkers, or a swarm of flies, congratulations: you may already be spiritually connected to Jack.

What starts as a collection of 1980s blooper reel gold—featuring Rebney inventing new ways to curse at the English language—becomes something much deeper (and weirder) as filmmaker Ben Steinbauer tracks down the man behind the meltdown. Spoiler alert: he’s still mad, still brilliant, and still hates everything. And yet… he kind of grows on you.

It’s one part cultural critique, one part profanity appreciation, and all parts hilarious. Buckle up—the RV is about to hit the fan.

In this episode of Get Doc’d, hosts Daphne and Wilsen dive fork-first into ¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor!, the 2024 documentary directed by Arthur Bradford. The film chronicles South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone as they rescue and reimagine Casa Bonita—the beloved, kitschy Mexican restaurant in Colorado made famous in their 2003 episode. With a budget that ballooned from $6.5 million to over $30 million, the project becomes as much about passion and nostalgia as it is about stubborn vision and chaotic ambition.

Daphne and Wilsen unpack the wild ride of the restaurant’s rebirth, the filmmakers’ behind-the-scenes access, and what it says about creative control, hometown pride, and turning childhood memories into very expensive reality.

It’s a tale of enchiladas, cliff divers, and two creators who just couldn’t let a pink palace fade away.
