Somehow, Dustin made it nearly 20 years without watching Twilight. Kalynn has come to correct that mistake. This week on Found on Shelf, we revisit the 2008 vampire romance starring Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson and ask the important questions: Is Edward Cullen romantic or just an extremely sparkly stalker? Why do immortal vampires keep going back to high school? Where is the actual downside to being a Twilight vampire? And exactly how cold is Edward’s pee pee? Kalynn brings years of T...

Patrick promised Gabe they could watch a Dragon Ball movie. Unfortunately, Dustin picked the Dragon Ball movie. This week, Found on Shelf tackles Dragon Ball: The Magic Begins, the bizarre 1991 live-action adaptation that somehow manages to be a cheap knockoff, a surprisingly competent martial-arts movie, and occasionally a better Dragon Ball adaptation than Dragon Ball Evolution. Joining us is returning guest Gabe, who attempts to explain actual Dragon Ball lore while Dustin meets Monkey Boy...

Patrick is back from the dead, Dustin is skipping through time, and somehow the safest thing inside the cursed video store is the sushi. In “We’re Just Bad People,” Found on Shelf takes on Dead Sushi, Noboru Iguchi’s gloriously unhinged Japanese horror-comedy featuring flying killer sushi, martial arts, zombie rice, sushi nunchucks, an acid-spitting egg sushi named Eggy, and a tuna-headed revenge monster commanding a floating sushi battleship. Along the way, we discuss questionable Grogu produ...

In CGI Flydays, Dustin, Gimcrack, and returning guest Gabe dive into S.S. Rajamouli’s gloriously excessive 2012 Telugu fantasy-revenge film about a murdered man reincarnated as a CGI housefly. What begins as a romantic melodrama quickly becomes a full-scale Looney Tunes assassination campaign involving fly vision, micro armor, tiny weapons, occult sparrows, an increasingly unhinged billionaire, and one of the most spectacularly over-the-top fiery finales ever committed to film. We discuss why ...

Due to some....complications we need to take a short break. Have no fear, Dustin and Patrick will be resurre....I mean they will return shortly. Wait, if they are gone then who am I? Maybe I can finally use this space to write the next great American Novel. Hmmm, but there's a character limi

The Skidooch has arrived… and he’s riding a jet ski straight through a luxury cruise ship. This week, the Found on Shelf crew dives headfirst into Deep Rising—a late-90s fever dream where mercenaries, billionaires, pickpockets, and an extremely hungry sea nightmare all collide in the middle of the ocean. Joined by special guest Cammy, the gang tries (and fails) to stay on track while unpacking CGI tentacles, infinite ammo, questionable life choices, and one of the most unhinged finales ever put...

This week on Found on Shelf, we descend into one of the strangest films ever unearthed: The Rare Blue Apes of Cannibal Isle — a surreal, low-budget fever dream involving aristocratic blue apes, pirate crocodiles, toxic flower gas, and a duck named Mr. Quack Quack. Returning guest Bitter Karella joins us to break down this baffling cinematic artifact while also celebrating the success of her splatterpunk horror novel Moonflow and teasing her upcoming folk horror release Quaint Folk (dropping thi...

We’re joined by author and internet chaos agent Robert Brockway to talk about his new novel “I Will Kill Your Imaginary Friend for $200”—a dark, funny, and unexpectedly emotional dive into childhood, loneliness, and the terrifying things that live in our heads (and maybe on YouTube). Then, after we politely let our guest escape the cursed video store, we spiral straight into the 2015 horror oddity My Bloody Banjo. Along the way: We uncover the horrors of modern “imaginary friends” Debate the ...

This week on Found on Shelf, we dive headfirst into the flaming chaos of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance—a sequel so unhinged it feels like it was filmed during a caffeine-fueled exorcism. Join us as we break down Nicolas Cage at peak Cage energy, from demonic transformations to the infamous “scraping at the door” scene that will haunt your dreams. Is this a misunderstood cult classic… or a full-blown cinematic meltdown? We talk: The bizarre editing and “filmed while being chased by bees” ci...

Dustin wanted to pick the movie this week. Unfortunately, the Jackalope had other plans. After challenging the mysterious creature that controls the show’s movie selection, the Jackalope locks the studio doors and forces the hosts to endure the entire Feeders trilogy, the cult shot-on-video alien horror series created by legendary low-budget filmmakers The Polonia Brothers. The episode becomes a chaotic struggle between Dustin and the Jackalope while the podcast dives deep into: Feeders (1996...

Any similarity between this podcast and real life just happens to be the way things are. This week on Found on Shelf, we descend into the cursed VHS void and accidentally summon the 1990 Canadian cult dystopian satire Terminal City Ricochet… and it summons us right back. What we expected: weird punk rock sci-fi nonsense. What we got: media-controlled reality, fascist talk show mayors, climate collapse, secret police, cannibalism, brain-controlled children, and a villain who writes 'My Struggl...

Season 5 is here and Patrick and Spec are watching the 2003 Sega Saturn FMV Despiser...oh wait, this is an actual movie? Holy shi....is that Dustin? I thought he was dead?!?! I'm so confused, good thing I'm just hired to write the descriptions. Despiser is about a guy that dies and goes to purgatory where he wages a war against polygons. This podcast is about guys that never seem to stay dead, so it's a match made in heaven....err purgatory.

Last we heard, Dustin had been hit by a large truck driven by a demonic fast food mascot named Dumpy the Rat. it's time to find out the aftermath. Season 5 starts in February!

It's time for the end of the year wrap up, but is it also time for the end of the FOUND ON SHELF PODCAST?! Only one of the hosts will walk away from this episode...

It's Christmas time!!! Time for spiked egg nog and obscure movies. On our latest episode we're checking out Mandao Returns, the sequel to the Mandao of the Dead. Christmas is in the air as Jay Mandao astral projects back in time to prevent the death of a B-movie star. However, the more Jay and his friends mess with time, the deadlier Christmas becomes.

A murdering jazz musician in a cult town run by the mob gets a job at a butcher shop that has septic tank underneath it mixing with nuclear waste which causes a byproduct that toy robot aliens wish to use to fuel their spaceships. This is actually an accurate summary of the movie we watched...oh and it's a musical.

We're kicking off our musical month with some Jet Rock-n-Roll!! It's Japanese greaser band Guitar Wolf vs toy robot aliens with an army of zombies in the 1999 comedy horror movie "Wild Zero"

It's a Scarabjam Halloween Special! We're watching the 1995 horror movie Rumpelstiltskin! We're all dressed up and ready to party.

Halloween season has begun. what does the Jackalope have in store for us today? There's a dude with steampunk goggles and a giant bear trap for a mouth hanging out with Warwick Davis as "Plates" and you'll never guess what his special weapon is! It's time for Skinned Deep!

They made a Christian Mingle movie....and we watched it. I don't think there's anything else that needs to be said. Guests Specc and Gabe show up to help us try to regain some sanity, but I guess the wheels were never meant to be on in the first place.

Stop-motion Chicken Man STOP-MOTION CHICKEN MAN!!! This movie is a lot, buckle up.

Bitter Karella joins us again to talk all about Rapid Onset Monkey Fucking...wait, what? Oh and Bitter's got a brand new book coming out Sept 3rd so go order MOONFLOW today, we've been told it's got at least FOUR fluids, so you know it's gonna be good! https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/bitter-karella/moonflow/9780316581936/ Back to the movie, it's all about a dude that gets cucked by a chimp, but not as exciting or funny as one would hope.
