This Is Rad!

Live from Meltdown Comics, it's "This Is Rad!" Kyle and Matthew sit down with comedian Joe Raines and Producer Natalie to attempt to scratch the surface of this long-running comedy juggernaut. Joe has seen every episode of SNL and enlightens Kyle on the appeal. From 1975 to the present, they break down underrated cast members, the best casts and years, as well as the seasons Joe needed a lot of weed to get through. They also take a brief detour to talk about their own sketch comedy show Camp NerdMelt - with a special appearance from "Mr. Gribbles." Big thanks to Kasey Clark for being our Don Pardo!

Ask and ye shall receive! In this 50th episode spectacular, Kyle and Matthew finally sit down for their most requested episode topic yet: Dungeons & Dragons. They're joined by their Dungeon Master Adam Murray and Saving Throw's Ben Dunn to take an adventurous foray into a fantasy world filled with witches, tree people and Cool Ranch Doritos. Their ragtag team includes the poorly named Seth Drogen, Deb and Dan the Destroyer twins, Dwayne Wade the Rad-Dar Johnson and Gary Wolf. Will they instantly regret having zero healers and survive their quest?

Thanks to all our rad fans for helping us reach 50 episodes!

Accio rad! Boy wizards Kyle and Matthew sit down with Laura Knight and Sarah Wines to talk about the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Kyle and Matthew aren't huge fans...do their guests persuade them to give the Boy Who Lived a second chance? Other topics include prime numbers, memories of waiting in line for the books and throwing smoothies at windshields. They also play the game Superfight! by Skybound. It's the podcast that must not be named!

Note: This episode is free of major spoilers. Some minor details are spoiled but nothing integral to the plot.
