Canceled Too Soon #251 | Supertrain (1979)30 Aug 202401:44:14

NBC made a knockoff of THE LOVE BOAT that was so expensive - and such a huge failure - that it almost bankrupted the network!


Folks, this is SUPERTRAIN, a series about a nuclear-powered train with celebrity guests who for some reason are always committing crimes! Huge names! Weird stories! Could it be that one of the most notorious TV shows ever was... CANCELED TOO SOON?

Canceled Too Soon #246 | "The Idol" (2023)26 Jul 202401:36:58

When THE IDOL got canceled, everyone made sure we knew about it. And we swore at that time that we would, someday, cover the most notorious TV dud in years on CANCELED TOO SOON.


Today, dear listeners, is that day. Lily-Rose Depp and The Weeknd lead a staggeringly impressive cast in Sam Levinson's prurient, cynical, baffling erotic (?) thriller (?) drama (?) about a young music star who falls in with a creepy abuser, whose humiliations and tortures bring out the best in her music.


Was it CANCELED TOO SOON? By god, we are about to find out.

This week, an amoeba from space transforms a cuttlefish, a crab and a turtle into giant monsters, in a film somewhat fittingly titled SPACE AMOEBA!


It's got some of the best visual effects we've seen so far on the THANK GODZILLA, IT'S FRIDAY podcast... but is it also one of the worst films?

We're bringing CANCELED TOO SOON back for the Halloween season, with a month-long event we call SCARYTOBER!

Ed Wood has been called the worst director of all time, so why, dear listeners, do William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold spend so much time comparing his work to Alain Resnais and Ingmar Bergman? And was his failed pilot... CANCELED TOO SOON?

THANK GODZILLA, IT'S FRIDAY! | "All Monsters Attack" (1969)29 Sep 202301:13:03

William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are reviewing every GODZILLA movie ever made, and they're doing it on Fridays!


This week, it's a film most GODZILLA fans hate, but a film that GODZILLA creator Ishiro Honda loved. And we're going to have one heck of a time deciding if it's the worst film in the series, the most interesting film in the series, or both!


It's the anti-bullying coming of age drama ALL MONSTERS ATTACK, which happens to have monsters in it, in an all-new episode of THANK GODZILLA, IT'S FRIDAY!

We're kicking off a new season of CANCELED TOO SOON with one of our most requested episodes ever: CAVEMEN (2007), a very short-lived sitcom based on the popular commercials from GEICO, in which cavemen still walk among us but have to contend with racism and stereotypes.


Co-starring Nick Kroll, Sam Huntington, Jeff Daniel Phillips and Julie White, it's one of the most notorious misfires in television history.


But was it... CANCELED TOO SOON? You're about to find out!

Canceled Too Soon #239 | "Turn-On" (8:30pm-8:40pm, February 5, 1969)02 Aug 202301:12:44

William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold bring CANCELED TOO SOON back for one (for now) very special episode, because one of the most infamous TV shows in U.S. history has finally surfaced... TURN-ON, the sketch comedy series so controversial it was canceled during the first commercial break!


It's a series from the creators of ROWAN AND MARTIN'S LAUGH-IN, co-written by Albert Brooks, about a network that uses a computer to automatically generate content. It may be good, it may be bad, but it sure was ahead of its time.


But was it CANCELED TOO SOON? Let's find out!

The Iron List #43 | The Best Movie Cameos Ever!31 Jul 202302:45:21

Because our patrons demanded it, William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold present their picks for THE BEST MOVIE CAMEOS EVER!


These are the moments when an actor you had no idea was in the movie shows up for only one or two scenes and completely blows you away, by being totally hilarious, or unexpectedly creepy, or just by being themselves. 


And for (maybe? we think?) the first time either, there are NO OVERLAPS on Bibbs and Witney's lists! They didn't pick any of the same cameos or films!
