LNC Ain't No April Fool

Ariel and Jonathan talk about some of their favorite geeky April Fools jokes, Ariel attempts to escape Spider Manor (it's ok, it's just a name -- it's really just Spider House), and Jonathan slips in an audio cue from an old horror movie (but misnames it because the actual film title is "Mothman Prophecies," not "Mothman"). And more!

Stuff That Doesn't Fit

Jonboy's Horror Hutch



LNC Forgot that it was Friday the 13th

 We recorded this episode on Friday the 13th, but Jonathan wasn't able to edit and publish until Saturday the 14th. Is it due to a curse???? Or just Jonathan's poor time management skills? Probably the second one. Anyway, we talk about stuff like how HBO Max and Paramount+ may end up being combined if the acquisition deal goes through, how being Dorothy Gale changed the lives of various actors, and spiders the size of Andrew Garfield. Plus more!

LNC Shines a Lantern on Low Brow Comedy

First, apologies for the late publication! It was a hectic weekend of travel for your humble editor and publisher. More importantly, Ariel and Jonathan talk about the return of low brow Hollywood comedies, the upcoming Lanterns TV series, and a pretty gross puppet.
