Sol-mates: Love And Mst3k

What happens when four friends-turned-podcast-hosts get stuck in a wine cellar together? While they're all definitely in the same place? And they have no choice but to drink wine and reminisce about the past season? And what happens when that original recording gets lost due to mysterious circumstances and they have to do it all again? That's right! It's a season finale "bottle episode," free of clips -- because we're not THAT unoriginal. Season 2 of Sol-Mates will start in two weeks with Alien from L.A. -- so be sure to keep your finger on your device to help turn down the volume on all our Kathy Ireland impressions!Host segments: Bottle Episode -- The Setup!; who swears the most?; GROSS!; Jeff's sweat"suit" loophole; MiMi's party fouls; F**k Jimmy!; punting with Loggia; the birth of Uncle Jimmy's; marriage advice; forward momentum; our new project!

It's a very special Sol-Mates Holiday Episode! With no swears! No ribaldry...sort of. It's the perfect way to kill time with your family when you're trying not to kill your family! So join us for a double-feature of this episode and season eleven's Christmas That Almost Wasn't!Host segments: Thrift of the Magi; our holiday spirits; toys from hell; the craziest land-grab ever!; anachronistic tightwad-ism; controversial opinions re: Servo rating; riffing ratios; Whipple's terminal enchantment; we

Four friends. A divisive MST3K episode. Will their relationships remain intact? Will MiMi ever speak to any of them again? Probably. We just wanted to interject some actual drama into The Crawling Hand.Host Segments: Joe bones the intro; Devori ponders things; Kimbro Clothing Wish-List; In case you cared -- a history of space-suit films; beating a dead riff; weird ways to hate teens; what happens when a body rejects "Surfin' Bird"; the "Uncle Jimmy's" jokes write themselves; too soon?; Devori breaks MiMi -- FINALLY.

It's our take on a Turkey Day favorite! There was merriment, and wine, so things got a little ribald. OK -- they got A LOT ribald. But that's probably to be expected when discussing a creature flick in which a whole town is getting down with itself. HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM SOL-MATES!Host Segments: That's right -- DOCTOR Devori Kimbro; Pervy Redneck Jewelers; Joe is a sweet, sweet, innocent boy; Jeff does some uncomfortable conjecturing; we talk way too much about the sexual exploits of rural Wisconsinites; #GreaseFilter; Gore vs. Repulsive People; Devori visits the Patriarchy Angry Dome; Bobo No-Bummers; MiMi and Jeff's own Giant Spider Invasion; D&D Cheeseheads.Please like, share, rate, subscribe!

We went rock climbing, folks. And it was boring. Boooooring. Listen to us give The Lost Continent the Sol-Mates treatment! But mostly we talk about dinosaurs. Because dinosaurs are kewl.Host Segments: Rock climbing in perpetuity; Jeff's ethos is Eff Devori; Jurassic Dorks; Joel's post-colonial critique; adventure sausagefest; Devori hates suck-dirt; Martha's Sacred Mountain Weather Report; where the ladies at?; Sophie B. Baker and Joe Don Hawkins.Please like, rate, subscribe where ever podcasts are sold!

Ch-ch-ch, ka-ka-ka.OK, OK -- we know that's technically Friday the 13th, but "dee-dee-DEE-dee-dee, doo-doo-DOO-doo-doo" doesn't translate as well.

This may be our favorite episode yet! Jeff got so jazzed about Devori's many, many excellent Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf jokes that he legit grabbed the mic and that's why his audio is shitty for the last 1/2 of the episode. Theories abound this episode, and we want to know if you can survive the Hobgoblins!Host segments: Average Girls Tryna Be Sexy; Security Guard Fantasies; Time: How does it work?; Devori's Low-Budget Family Film; Nunchuck Robber and His Mom: A Film in One Act; A Kevin Carol; Joe Don Baker Dates Your Mom; Three Hobgoblins in a Trenchcoat; Scooby Doo -- The Maury Edition; 50 Shades of Hobgoblins

We decided to see what the fuss was all about with the drinking in Killer Shrews. We we drank. And watched Killer Shrews. Jeff made a too-delicious rum-punch and here's the results. You should hear Joe will tell you when he starts our version (we watched a colorized version on YouTube, but any version will do). Enjoy!

What happens when you trap four people together in the direst of situations? Like us? When we had to watch Killer Shrews, like, five times? Well -- they drink, of course. It was either that or listen to Dixieland jazz.Host segments: Joe wants something fruity; drinking stories; Why is Jeff naked?; Sci-fi plot device #37; What am women?; Rated "MT" for Mild Tension; Wickenburg's tragic past; Jeff -- Jr. Rodeo Apologist; Al Frazier's Bookshelf Zen; Shrew Don Baker; Jay Simm's Inferno.

This week's episode is more fragrant than a pile of lutefisk and as strong as a bracing shot of vodka. It's the Russo-Finnish Troika classic Jack Frost! Will Nastya wake up after touching Jack's death-staff? Will Marfushka get what's coming to her? What the hell was the deal with the pig sled? All these questions and more might be answered here, but mostly we talk about how metal Jack Frost is.Host segments: Ivan and Nastya -- like cream and OJ; Bargain Bin Fairy Tales; All our Grandmas are Dead; Fantasy Metal Jack Frost; "Paradise By the Pig Sled Light"; Bitch Knitting; MST3-Troika; Predictably, Jack Frost is Re-invented a la Tarantino; Sic Balls, Jappa!

We've known each other for a long time, y'all - and as Joe and Devori prepare to head west to celebrate Hobbit Day (one of our longest traditions as friends) we thought you might want to more know more about Hobbit Day! Or not! It's really up to you, we guess. But please listen to this short anyway.

Oh boy! This episode is a doozy, but at least none of us were killed with a forklift -- just a few sake bombs. We take on an MST3K classic, Fugitive Alien, and try to figure out just what the hell is the deal with Japan. Also, Devori and Joe recap their exciting trip to Nashville to see the MST3K Live Tour!Host Segments: Joe temporarily forgets Devori; Kenifornians; Who's who on the Ken-enity?; KTMAlien; Crying in a Waffle House; Jeff, MiMi, and Devori's College Daze; Jeff old-mansplains Japanese plots to us; More Frank love; Joel Grape Watch!; A Bacchus 3 Sitcom!

Stay bronze, Pony-boy. We're gliding into the end of our Summer of Pecs. The sun descends on yet another good, good Maciste boy. Well -- not a great Maciste. In fact, oofta - this was kind of a stinker. The Maciste Industrial Grind is kind of getting to us.Host Segments: Nummy Muffin Redux, The Norman Krasner of MST3K Episodes, Metal Maciste, MiMi Ruins Everything, An Audio Tour of Idaho State University Restrooms, Maciste Boot Camp, Peplum Fiction, The Ad Break Goes Off the Rails, A Patchwork Peplum, Macistes of Hazzard, Asshole "Locovores"

We're right in the middle of our Summer of Pecs, and just like the lovely ladies in the Loves of Hercules, we're obsessed. MiMi's obsessed over Herc's mental health, Devori's obsessed with M. Waverly, Jeff's obsessed with Jayne Mansfield's "assets," and as a result, Joe's obsessed with Audacity's "cut" tool. We apologize for scream-singing so much, too. But not really.Host Segments: Podcast Confessions, Dubious Mythology, Boy-Crazy Ladies of the Ancient World, Daianera O'Hara, Comparative Hercology, What Am M. Waverly?, Tiny Skirt-Induced Trauma, The Myriad Meanings of "Precisely," MiMi's Mind Gets Hella Blown, Herc on the Rebound, Tinder Profiles in White Knighthood: Timantes Edition.

Well, folks -- here it is! Our tenth episode! And believe it or not, we completely. Didn't. Remember. On top of that, we recorded this episode very late at night, and we were plagued with technical issues. But we still managed to talk about how orange Alan Steele is. Because we owe that to you -- our listeners.Host segments: Jeff's unique man-skirt problems, mommy-jacking the rebellion, "Son of a Preacher Man" = Jeff's Panama Invasion, Maciste Industrial Complex, The Science of Sandstorm, An Acting Masterclass with Frank Coniff, Italian mamas of moonmen, Jeff and Devori overshare.

Three of us really watched this movie, but four of us talk about it (ahem...JEFF). But, for not watching the movie, Jeff sure had a lot to say. MiMi kills us all with a well-timed PSA, and we do unspeakable things to a B-52s' classic.Host Segments: Jeff Old Man-splains the Difference Between Crow-Bars and Pry-Bars, Terror from the Year 5000-Specific Amnesia, Automatic Diabetes, Angelo's Chigger-Filled Area, Our Apologies to the Good People of Florida, A Tale of Two Season 8s, Future Fashun with The Smiths, Porn-ception 2: The Nudening, Tin Roof: Fisted.

We're only eight episodes in, and we've already discovered MST3K's dirty little secret -- a lot of mid-80s porn directors. Enjoy us trying to find things to say about one of our favorite episodes. Then, go play a rousing game of "Mila Pyuma!" in the pool. BTW, MiMi and Jeff manage to make their honeymoon sound super creepy.Host segments: Getting a Riff Fix, Passive-Aggressive Uncle Jimmy's, Jeff Old-Mansplains Non-Smoking Sections to Us, Conveniently Forgotten Incest, MiMi and Jeff's Creepy Honeymoon, Joe D'Amato's Pornception, What is a Geometric Nucleus?, Jay-tor and Silent Thong,

Up front, we'll let you know that this episode is a pack of lies. We discussed the mystery of 8 inches of penis extensively, but Joe didn't think you needed to hear that and cut it out. The rest of the episode is pretty good, though. We discuss Zombie Nightmare with as much aplomb as you can without talking about 8 inches of penis. Also, we're interrupted by a teenager and goes about as well as you can imagine.Host segments:The tastiest zombie (cocktail), Jeff tells us the thing about the 80s, What is "The Site?", Bat-bago, Claire-us Interruptus, Metalhead Affluenza, Do You Even Podcast, Brah?

Oof. This was a tough one. But we endured. Host segments: FUCK that guy!, The Pleasure Chamber, Marble-Gargling Sluts, Do Robots Need Humans?, Gay Porn Directors and the Angry Dome

To watch the MST3K Hamlet episode, or not to watch the MST3K Hamlet episode -- that was the question. And we did. So, that's the answer. In this episode we discuss how Pearl and Brain Guy managed to dupe Mike and the Bots into watching one of the worst versions of one of the greatest dramas ever. Devori tries not to get too pretentious, Jeff screams obscenities, MiMi does her best German accent, and Joe just tries to wrangle us all.Host Segments: We try prestige podcasting, Jeff Smith: Rum Runner, Hamlet Production Machine, Academic Fappery from the Shakespeare Bench, Archie Bunker is Ghost Dad, Romeo's Pubes, Patriarchy Angry Dome, MiMi's Shipping HamRatio SO HARD, Hamlet's mouth is writing checks his body can't cash.
