  • Uncle Fester's Illness S1:E18
    Jul 26 2025

    Lately, Uncle Fester's been a bit rundown, literally unable to maintain his wattage. Fester may potentially spoil an upcoming family outing. To handle the situation, the Addams call up the reliable family witch doctor Dr. Mbogo by making contact with a hunter (Loyal "Doc" Lucas) who lives near the native village that Dr. Mbogo is in. When Dr. Mbogo is too busy to leave Africa making him unable to make a housecall, Gomez makes a comment that he should've engaged "that pygmy witch doctor" when he had the chance. The Addamses take their chances by engaging the services of a local physician named Dr. Milford (Lauren Gilbert), who pays them a house call. Dr. Milford is startled by the Addamses home, but tries to examine Fester anyway. After eating one of the Doctor's thermometers, Fester appears to be cured. Now the family can go on their outing.

    Fivel Fox & JohnPaul talk about moonbathing, Temple of Doom, play the Nude or not Nude game, the unspoken Miss Piggy issue, problematic tropes, the nuances of cancel culture, and the importance of critical thinking. and of course more!

  • Mother Lurch Visits the Addams Family S1:E17
    Jul 16 2025

    Lurch learns that his mother (Ellen Corby) is coming to visit. Lurch admits to Gomez and Morticia that he told his mother that he owns the Addams house. Morticia suggests that Lurch act like the man of the house, and Gomez and Morticia will act as his servants. Once Lurch's mother arrives, Gomez and Morticia sense their mistake. While Lurch takes only too well to the concept of being head of household, the old woman treats Gomez and Morticia poorly. She even goes so far as to have Lurch fired them. When Mother Lurch mistakes Fester and Grandmama as the new servants, she decides that she can leave now. It might take a bit of time to get Lurch to realize that he is the butler again.

    Fivel and JohnPaul talk about our relationship to horror the genre, newspaper comics, the poison of negative energy, Stephen Graham Jones, Friday the 13th series, The Waltons, and why girls love monster boys.

  • The Addams Family Meets the Undercover Man S1:E16
    Jul 3 2025

    The feds get interested in the Addams Family due to Pugsley's ham radio, powered by Uncle Fester, sending out mysterious "coded" messages worldwide. Agent Hollister (George N. Neise) recruits local tradespeople to infiltrate the house like the postman Mr. Briggs (Rolfe Sedan) and the plumber Mr. Conkey (Norman Leavitt). The Addamses become aware that something's not right and call in the feds. Hollister is sent in and he tells Gomez and Morticia it was him that had Briggs and Conkey placed there. Thinking Hollister is part of the ring, they have him detained. While being held, he finds out it was Pugsley sending out the messages.

    Fivel and JohnPaul also discuss ham radio and the connection to Amelia Earhart, James Bond movies, Earthquakes, the Janeway statue, The great American Bear, Cats, what is it to plumb?, a corpse carnival and general skullduggery. Seth Rogen cohosts.
