Awoooooo! Happy Halloween, buuuu-ddies! We took a slightly longer break than anticipated, but we’re just squeaking this one minisode into the month of October to talk about some of our favorite seasonal episodes of Totally Pauly. We’ll be back to our regular schedule next month with an episode on Pauly’s 1997 return to the small screen, the ill-fated Fox sitcom Pauly! YouTube version: 00:03:28 Our last episode on Bio-Dome 00:10:40 We need someone to make a...

Is this just acquired immunity after eight months of controlled exposure to Pauly Shore, or did we... kind of like Bio-Dome? Don't get us wrong, the movie is exactly as dumb as it looks, but it's also weirder than it needs to be, and its surprisingly positive environmental message may be just what we need in this time of climate crisis. We're taking a slightly longer than usual break after this while Zach goes to the U.K., but we'll be back in late October with a special Halloween-themed...

It's been almost eight months since we started on this bogus journey, and we might be slowly losing it, but at least we're taking some of you down with us! In this extra-minisode, we share some stories about the friends online and IRL who we've started to slowly Weasel-pill. And there's still at least four months of this shitshow left for you to be next! Jump on board just for Bio-Dome in two weeks!

We've finally reached the movie that gave us the idea for this series (we'll let you decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing)! Jury Duty may not be great cinema--it's basically 12 Angry Men with a closed head injury--but we've both seen much worse (cough, In the Army Now). And besides, if you're looking for great cinema, you're in the wrong place, because next month we're finally watching BioDome!

It’s a true minisode this week, as we check in on a few listener comments and give an update on the unfolding Richard Simmons biopic drama, which I guess is something we have to care about now? Anyway, Jury Duty in two weeks! Video version: 00:03:05 Our last minisode 00:04:45 Our Goofy Movie episode 00:10:13 “Richard Simmons’ staff and family shut down Pauly Shore over claims about late star’s social media posts” by Tom Murray, The Independent, July 31,...

If you couldn't already tell we'd passed the glory days of Pauly Shore's career, well, here's your wakeup call: Not one, but two glorified cameos in movie tie-ins to a cartoon, one of them direct to video. Luckily for our hero, A Goofy Movie (1995) happens to be a generational touchstone, and An Extremely Goofy Movie (2000) is... surprisingly watchable? Anyway, we go to some dark places in this episode, so to avoid incongruity with the kid-friendly movies' themes, we bleeped out all the cuss...

In a complete stroke of serendipity while editing our last episode, Zach discovered that Pauly appeared in an In the Army Now-branded music video for "World of Swirl" by none other than ZZ Top. So, we figured it's as good a time as any to dedicate a minisode to the Weasel's most memorable music video appearances, from his own "Lisa, Lisa (The One I Adore)" to Young Buck's "Shorty Wanna Ride." Also, a tight five on the PS1 classic (at least in our house) WWF Attitude! We'll be back in two...

Well, we knew the honeymoon had to end eventually; after nearly four months of being arguably the world's most consistently Pauly Shore-positive podcast, we've finally found a movie we just plain don't like. In the Army Now is brazen military propaganda, weirdly racist, and perhaps worst of all, not very funny. But hey, at least the soundtrack has a pretty cool ZZ Top song! A quick note on the audio quality: We once again had a laggy Internet connection, and somehow lost Callie's local...

As we prepare for our grim tour of duty with In the Army Now, here's a minisode where we dig a little more into Totally Pauly's chaotic live spring break incarnation, "Chillin' with the Wiez." We also catch up on some of the more recent happenings in the Paulyverse, leading to the introduction of a new segment where we ask the titular question (answer still inconclusive).

Our year-long deep dive into the filmography of Pauly Shore continues with 1993's Son in Law: a heartwarming culture clash romantic comedy about how you shouldn't call members of the white rural working class inbreeders, even after they roofie you and leave you in a compromising position to destroy your sham engagement. Whoops, spoilers!

Can you believe it's been two full months and we still haven't dropped the biweekly schedule? Looks like it's high time to rest on our laurels for a bit. In this "mini"-episode (that is basically the exact same length as a regular episode), we answer listener correspondence, make some corrections, read some relevant passages of Vince Neil's section of The Dirt (see, now we have your attention!), and finally get our hands on a (digital) copy of Stoney's Encino High Journal. Join us again in...

We're now a month into our year-long immersion into the filmography of Pauly Shore, and we're finally watching a Pauly Shore film! Actually, make that one and a half Pauly Shore films, because we're pairing his motion picture debut, 1992's Encino Man, with his (rightfully) lesser-known role in the same year's Kid n Play vehicle, Class Act. If you're worried about keeping the movies straight, though, don't be: he's pretty much the same character in both. We'll pick up again in two weeks with...

When we last left our hero, it was 1989 and the world was teetering on the brink of full-blown Weaselmania; now, we're picking up for a deep dive into the peak of Pauly Shore's pre-movie fame, including his MTV show Totally (Different) Pauly, his two (!) imperial-era standup comedy albums, and his 1992 victory-lap HBO special Pauly Does Dallas. Next time, we'll finally talk about Encino Man! Sound good, buuu-ddies? Cool.

The podcast event literally no one asked for has finally arrived! From February 2024 until whenever we've had enough, we're taking you on a journey through what we genuinely believe is the underrated filmography of the Weasel himself, Pauly Shore. Join us in this introductory episode as we explain why we're doing this to ourselves (and to you) and take a quick jog through the random roles that resulted in one of the greatest characters in 20th century American literature.
