The Mental Suppository will be back later in the year with brand new episodes and brand new surprises. But for now, we have a special First Day of Summer Presentation: The Metal Suppository LIVE at the Hotel Vernon reading a radio script titled Man’s Best Friend. An unproduced pilot for a radio series which would have featured Walt Kelly’s comic strip character Pogo Possum. The script itself was printed in The Best of Pogo. A collection of Kelly’s earlier comic strips. One of the stories from those

2022 has been a productive (and very silly) year for the Mental Suppository Podcast. Especially with the amount of “sponsors”. The podcast had so many this year that it couldn’t fit just one episode!! So, for your listening pleasure here’s PART TWO of AND NOW ANOTHER WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR. A collection of some of the commercials that appeared this season on the Mental Suppository podcast.

2022/12/08

The second year of the Mental Suppository Podcast is rapidly coming to a close. And much like year one, the podcast has had its share of unique "sponsors". And this year even more. So many as a matter of fact that the team has compiled all of them into TWO special episodes that will be available as a double album near the end of the year!! That's right!! We've gone all Use Your Illusion without Axl Rose's outbursts. So sit back and enjoy.

Good Grief!! It's An Episode About Holiday Specials

2022/12/01

It didn’t matter if The Fall Guy or the Dukes of Hazzard wasn’t being shown that night. Once you saw the logo and heard the music for A CBS SPECIAL PRESENTATION, you knew something good was about to happen. From Halloween till Christmas Time (and later New Years), it was all about the specials. As a kid growing up in the 1970s and 1980s From October 31st till December 31st you had something to look forward to when CBS would roll out all their prime holiday specials. This was in the days before

I Am Batman: A Tribute to Kevin Conroy

The Mental Suppository ·

2022/11/23

The recent passing of television, stage and voice actor Kevin Conroy marked the end of an era. For many who grew up in the 1990s, he WAS Batman starting with the iconic Batman the Animated Series and has continued to voice the character for the past 30 years in various spin offs, direct to DVD productions and video games. Although admitting he wasn’t an aficionado, it has been a character he has enjoyed returning to alongside Mark Hamill’s iconic take on the Joker time and again. As well as

Philly Fringe vs. Free Fringe

2022/11/17

Each year, the Philadelphia Fringe Festival brings local, national and international art to Philadelphia with a nearly month-long extravaganza of performing arts. But with how much it costs to enter, can most performing artist afford to apply? And even if they are able to get in, it's not a given that these artists will turn a profit on their performances. Most artists who are trying to make their voices heard do not make a lot of money and depend on art shows and events to make ends meet. The Free

MORE Prime reviews

The Mental Suppository ·

2022/11/10

In previous episodes we’ve proven the reviews on Prime are… interesting. Hearing them out of context makes them all the more confusing. It does make one wonder if these people actually WATCHED the movie they reviewed. The answer to that is PROBABLY NOT but we thought we’d look at a few more anyway. Join Bret, Jamie and Wayne as they scratch their heads and feel they lost 30 minutes of their lives they’ll never get back as they wade through more movie reviews.

2022/11/03

Before the early 1980s, Hanna-Barbera and Filmation were the only two industry juggernauts that ruled the Saturday Morning airwaves with HB ahead of the pack. And nobody could catch up to either in popularity and the amount of animated shows they produced in a factory-like way. But with the advent of weekday afternoon and first run syndication in the 1980s, other companies started to appear and for the first time become real competition for the two studio giants of the animated landscape. The one

The review section on Amazon. It is a silly place. Sometimes you wonder if the people reviewing actually watched the movie they just reviewed. Or understand how to write a cohesive thought. Well… we know the answer to that. Jamie has yet again tasked Bret and Andrew to try and figure out the item the person is trying to review. Some of which only sum things up in two sentences. The thing you discover they hate is the biggest surprise of all. And since it’s Halloween, the guys also go into a few

The Weird Al Show Episode

2022/10/20

Much like Allan Sherman, Spike Jones and Stan Freberg before him, Alfred Matthew “Weird Al” Yankovic has made a career out of making funny music, song parodies and song styles. However, Weird Al has had a long and very successful career doing two things most people would think wouldn’t get you very far in the business. Having fun and not taking himself seriously. Not only that. But doing it without being vulgar and dirty. Proving you can make people laugh without swearing or using sexual humor to

Pantera, Reunions and Tribute Tours

2022/10/13

It was announced recently that groove metal band PANTERA was planning a reunion tour. For some fans, the concept might seem a bit strange considering the two creative driving members of the band, Vinnie Paul and Dimebag Darryl Abbot, are both no longer with us. Guitarist and drummer Zakk Wylde and Charlie Benante have been announced to fill in for the late Abbot brothers. While both are very respected in the metal community, the Abbot brothers brought a very unique sound to the band which is very

Trailer Takes: First Impressions of Confess Fletch

2022/10/06

The last time Fletch hit the screens was back in 1989’s Fletch Lives, the last to feature Chevy Chase in the title role. Unlike the previous big screen appearance, that movie wasn’t based on any of the novels written by Gregory McDonald. And it showed. Over the years there have been attempts to start up the franchise again, one being an adaptation of McDonalds prequel novel Fletch Won which would have been spearheaded by Kevin Smith and was rumored to star either Jae Lee or Ben Affleck in the

While the cat is away, the mice will play… With Bret gone from the week Jamie puts Andrew and Wayne to the test by reading to them some really vague reviews on Amazon Prime and see if they can match up the review with the movie it’s reviewing. It’s trickier than you’d think. So put on your thinking cap and guess along with the guys.

People seemed starved for the event as well as the interaction between their favorite artists, celebrities and fellow cosplayers.

2022/08/18

Our listeners (all three of you) might’ve noticed a skit we featured periodically in the podcast titled The Camaro Man. All the hosts of the Mental Suppository are old enough to remember the shows of the 1980s and the Camaro Man was written to be a parody of the cop shows of that era with the renegade cop who doesn’t play by the rules… or in the case of the Camaro Man doesn’t really understand the rules… and drives a cool car. Which is debatable to our own Wayne Neves who's offhanded remark inspired

There was a time when reading the Sunday comics was an event and every kid who could draw wanted to be a comic strip artist. While those days might not be long gone, it’s not the same as it once was. From the early part of the 20th Century until the 1970s, the comic strip page featured some of the most glorious artwork every Sunday. Full page strips in full glorious color. Three of the most talented artists to ever grace the comics page were EC Segar, George Herriman and Walt Kelly who created

The Munsters was a widely popular show which ran from 1964 to 1966. But does anyone under age of 40 really remember the Munsters. Unlike the Addams Family, they didn’t have a movie in the 1990s that kept them cemented in the younger audience’s memory. But the people who are fans of the series are passionate about it. And one of those fans is musician and filmmaker Rob Zombie who has desired to create a movie based on the series he loved and grew up watching. Recently he released a trailer for the

Season Four of Stranger Things hit Netflix in two parts. The first seven episodes aired on May 27th and the last two on July 1st. Most fans have praised season four as an improvement over season three.
