Ask and ye shall receive! This week's guest was begged for by listeners and after much negotiation we managed to wrangle him onto the show. I'm talking of course about Scott Aukerman, Earwolf co-founder and Kulap's darling bridegroom. You'll learn in this episode that he's also a dance music aficionado, a excellent movie trailer interpreter, and a skilled roulette player. You'll hear some of Scott's classic impressions and more than a few Chart Exclusives plus you'll learn how Scott and Kulap first met! This is an episode not to be missed, so check it out and keep sending in your submissions to the Heal With My Steel Video Contest!

Oh, Abduction. We laughed, we cried (at least Jason did), we got uncomfortable, we were confused. Jessica Chaffin is our guest this week to unwrap the layers of awfulness that awarded Abduction its 4% score on Rotten Tomatoes. From the Pittsburghian influence to the subtle racism, we're here to try to make sense of it all. Rent Abduction from Amazon using this link to support the show, and join us for this train-ride to mediocrity.

Where do we start with Old Dogs? Human puppet suits? A cross-eyed Rita Wilson? Sports marketing? Paul, June, and Jason invite Casey Wilson to help sift through the farts and crotch-shots that make up this 87 minute masterpiece. Casey and Paul reenact one of the more subtle, dramatic moments from the film, while Jason crosses the line with his jet-pack criticisms. Listen to see if your tag-line got used, and be sure to check us out on Facebook!

What do Tyler Perry movies, Junior Miss Pageants, and West Hollywood spin classes have in common? They all belong in Jackie Clarke's personal favorites chart. This chart does not include dance music (our music chart of the week), mail-order moms, Indianapolis, or the dreaded Yankees. Last week we debuted the Chart Darts theme song, so what do you think will happen when we get to Chart Roulette? Scary movies, lawsuits, ecstasy, what more could you want from an episode of Who Charted??

Paul Rust, Harris Wittels, and Michael Cassady from our favorite comedy-pop crossover act Don't Stop or We'll Die are in the studio to jam out some tunes before their matrimonial debut.

In darkest night Paul, June, Jason, and Paul Rust went to see Green Lantern. In brightest day they reunited to figure out what the hell happened. You'd think that the art of the comic book movie would be perfected by now, but with it's awful CGI, ultra-quippy dialogue, and awkward pacing and storytelling, Green Lantern is certainly the exception. Even Jason who has read the comics didn't understand what was happening most of the time! If this film left you just as confused and unhappy, come commiserate with the gang and hopefully your questions will be answered. No guarantees though.

Guess who's back? YES, it's Brody Stevens and he's back with positive energy, a deal with HBO, and a set of claves!

This week's episode of Comedy Bang Bang is devoted to all the Parks and Recreation fans in the audience. We've jam packed the show with Parks and Rec insiders from Chelsea Peretti to Harris Wittels and even Adam Scott! If you like the unique cast of crazies that Pawnee offers, you'll love hearing Chelsea Peretti's brand new characters. Maybe you watch the show for the compelling relationships: Prepare for the deep, meaningful, fascinating relationship between Jack and his brother-in-law Bryan from Carl's Lumber Yard. This episode will answer ALL your Parks and Recreation questions, as long as your questions are "How many episodes have there been?" and "What's the name of Adam's character?"

It's time for Who Charted? after dark! Notorious ladies man (and comedian) Harris Wittels joins in the conversation this week to teach us all a lesson on how to pick up chicks and what to do once you have them. The charts for the week are movies and country music, and this swinging bachelor (and writer) has undoubtedly charted for more than a few girls. It's not just game with the ladies Harris has; This heartbreaking Lothario (and drummer) has mad skills when it comes to Chart Darts. Visit Earwolf to hear the web-only bonus chart, and to read Howard and Kulap's personal charts.

At the intersection of comedy, music, and fashion lies this week's Comedy Bang Bang. Margaret Cho and Grant-Lee Phillips provide the score for the episode in addition to delighting us with tales of the 90s and fun rounds of What Am I Thinking? and Would You Rather?! David Wain is the comedy legend you'd expect him to be, but by the end of the episode you'll be in awe of his keyboard skills. Dov Charney came here to talk about American Apparel and he does. That part is pretty straightforward. But throw it all together and you have a podcast stew to whet your pre-Thanksgiving appetite. Speaking of stew, head over to the Earwolf store and pick upThe Complete Comedy Bang Bang Christmas Collection. All proceeds go to the LA Regional Food Bank.

While the death of Michael Jackson put a damper on the comedy community, Scott Aukerman bravely decided to do his show anyways, if nothing else than to put a smiling face on all the grievers and mourners out there. I'm pretty sure he wasn't expecting a visit from the ghost of Michael Jackson himself. To round out the table (if that's an expression) Scott has topical comedy genius Neil Hamburger and friend of Michael Jackson's, R.O. Manse join in to voice their condolences. Dax Shepard co-hosts this beautiful tribute to a lost legend.
