This week on Radio Labyrinth, Hollywood might want to check its ego—because the next generation of filmmakers didn’t come up through film school… they came from YouTube.

We break down the growing trend of digital creators making the jump to major studio projects, from Markiplier topping the box office with Iron Lung to indie creators landing massive franchises like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Is this the future of filmmaking… or just Hollywood chasing the algorithm?

Also this week:
* The bizarre (and very real) possibility of Tim Heidecker helping reboot InfoWars under The Onion banner
* Backlash over Euphoria pushing boundaries (or just pushing buttons?)
* Early reactions to the Michael Jackson biopic Michael
* A packed Trailer Trash segment featuring Super Troopers 3, Godzilla Minus Zero, Busboys, and more
* Plus Views or Snooze? with the latest streaming picks including Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 and more

From Hollywood gatekeeping to YouTube disruption, we’re asking the big question—Are creators replacing directors… or just rewriting the rules?

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we sit down with comedy legend Craig Shoemaker — a man who’s been making audiences laugh for over 40 years and somehow turned it into both an art form and a wellness movement.

You know him as The LoveMaster, you’ve seen him in Parks and Recreation, Scream 2, and countless Comedy Central specials (including one ranked among their all-time best)… but Craig’s story goes way deeper than stand-up.

We talk about:
* His spot-on Don Knotts impression and Hollywood work behind the scenes
* Wild personal stories (including cults, family chaos, and everything in between)
* How he turned comedy into a tool for healing, communication, and transformation

Craig also breaks down his work with Laugh Bath™, and how humor can actually change your brain (yeah… we weren’t expecting that either).

📍 ATLANTA FANS: Catch Craig Shoemaker LIVE at The Punchline Comedy Club May 15th–17th during his “Still Standing Up” Farewell Tour.

If you grew up on stand-up, Comedy Central, or just appreciate someone who’s been in the game and evolved with it, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

KEEP IT CANON.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we break down the news that Dungeon Crawler Carl is heading to Peacock with Seth MacFarlane producing. It’s an alien apocalypse turned into a deadly game show… with a talking cat. So yeah—this could either be incredible or a complete disaster. We get into whether something this chaotic can actually work in live-action.

From there, it’s a packed week of pop culture:
* The Bad News Bears turns 50 and we look back at its legacy
* Dexter: Resurrection adds Brian Cox as a new villain—does this series still have life left?
* Howard Stern lands in legal trouble with a former assistant
* The Michael biopic undergoes major changes to avoid controversy
* Malcolm in the Middle returns… but not without some missing pieces
*
In Views or Snooze, we run through what’s worth watching this week, including the Malcolm in the Middle revival, The Audacity, and the return of Euphoria.
Plus Staff Picks featuring YouTube deep dives, new music, and a David Lynch classic in 4K.

If you’re into Gen X nostalgia, current pop culture chaos, and honest (slightly sarcastic) takes—welcome to Radio Labyrinth.
