We have three guests this week: Howard’s brother, the ghost of Frank Sinatra, and Jen Kirkman. When Jen isn’t drinking wine, writing on NBC, or studying American History, she’s trying to figure out band names and movie plots with Howard and Kulap. We have our very first Alternative Music chart, plus movies and chart roulette. Listen for Jen’s advice on how to make a terrible song enjoyable, and visit Earwolf to hear this week’s stereo-pumping music chart.

After our nap through The Last Airbender, we thought we’d take an adrenaline-fueled ride through hell with Drive Angry 3D.

Curtis Gwinn joins Paul, June, and Jason to figure out why there are muscle cars in hell, how the casting process works, and what a “God Gun” is. Listen to hear if your Nic Cage movie pitch got chosen, and to learn how much it would cost you to make a film of this magnitude.

After months upon months of asking, Scott finally receives an answer to the all important question “What’s Up Hot Dog?” He also receives the answer to the less important questions “What is Hot Dog’s favorite band?” and “How does Hot Dog feel about races other than his own?” Comedian and detective (as we’ll all remember from The Opener) Ben Schwartz helps Scott through this chance encounter by judging singing contests, proctoring depression tests, and performing some impressive role-playing. Jukebox Jury makes its final appearance (we hope), and we take a trip through comedy history with some Slam Slam jokes. Keep leaving your catchphrase suggestions, and check Scott out in Austin and Chicago.

Enjoy.

So crack open an Erdinger, soak in a tub full of Sklar, read up on yourHenderson trivia, and enjoy your time in Sklarbro Country.
