We had some technical difficulties that have delayed the still-forthcoming “Best of Professor Blastoff” episode, so we decided to strap in and settle in for a look at gravity. Actress and physicist Christina Ochoa explains gravitational pull and the always popular discussion of atheism vs. agnosticism. Please keep sending your favorite moments to professorblastoff@earwolf.com so that we can get this clip show done before we fall into a black hole.

There is no tiptoeing around it, this movie blows! Not even a French Peter Dinklage in cornrows can save this non-comedy about a full-sized dwarf dealing with his wife’s pregnancy. Not sold yet? Neither is Dave Holmes who joined us in watching this Sundance “Official Selection.” Check out Tiptoes if you haven’t yet, and pick up a brand new How Did This Get Made? shirt!

April 27, 2012

People all over the country are familiar with Zach Galifianakis from The Hangover and his other wildly successful projects. But I bet those people don’t know what kind of fruit Zach grows on his farm or the fact that he won’t race his donkeys! Or what he and his comic friends used to do for fun in New York! Or how much he adores bad comedy! Zach is vacationing on the calming shores of Sklarbro Country this week, and we’re glad to have him! Also joining us for the first time is Robert Siegel who treats us to his NPR grace, class, and dignity. If you got here by googling “stolen penguin,” you are in the right place!

Why go to a boring dunk contest or drive through a lame game reserve when you can listen to improv? This week’s guests on improv4humans are the hilarious and talented Chad Carter, Lennon Parham, and Tim Meadows. It is more fun than summer camp, more fulfilling than a high-five, and more sexually rewarding than 1,003 kisses. Be sure to pick up an improv4humans shirt from the Earwolf Store and follow @MattBesser on Twitter to send in your improv suggestions. Music by Bobby Matthews and Dragoon.

It’s been quite a while since we’ve checked in with our friend Natasha Leggero. We were thrilled to have her back on the show this week to learn about J-Pop sensation Nicki Minaj in the Music Chart, get a sight-unseen review of Chimpanzee in the Movie Chart, and play a round of N.L.-themed Chart Piñata. Natasha dishes dirt on David Bowie and we get a peek into the Kremer family history and possibly the greatest candy innovation known to man. Until next time, keep thumbping!

April 24, 2012

Did you think that we were done discussing perception? You must have perceived wrong! Myq Kaplan is sticking around for more discussion on religious extremism, the power of mushrooms, and seeing the world through a child’s eyes. Plus, we have Kyle’s mother on the phone! Or DO we? Is it just an illusion? I suppose we’ll never know.

April 24, 2012

The guys from Sentimental Lady were so phenomenal on the podcast, we didn’t have time to include all the great stuff they did. So here we are once again with an improv4humans bonus cut featuring Mel Cowan, Alex Fernie, and Johnny Meeks. What exactly is a construction consultant? Who knows?!
