This week we discuss the 1988 big top classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space! From cotton candy cocoons to skin melting cream pies, we break down why we love this low budget sci-fi horror masterpiece and why Royal Dano is an American treasure. So leave your cannibalistic silly straws behind everyone, we are pretty sure this episode doesn't suck.

This week we celebrate OUR 50th EPISODE! We're bringing you a too-bizarre-to-be-true event about a young woman from Wyoming who won a national contest on MTV that would change her life forever and leave a tiny community in cowboy country with their heads spinning. This is the story of when Prince and the Revolution, at the height of their fame, traveled to a small town out West for the world premiere of Prince's 1986 directorial debut Under the Cherry Moon. Hold onto your saddles everyone because we are going for a ride.

This week we go "balls out" and backflip into the 1986 cult classic Rad! There's a lot of bouncing, kicking and twirling on bikes. There's almost as much 80s saxophone jams and a fair amount of dancing, mostly dancing while riding bikes. So put your helmet on and pop a wheelie into this weeks episode...it's RAD!

This week we go on an intergalactic 80s adventure with Traci Lords, a middle aged man in a blonde wig and a space vampire with rabies. When it's from the minds of Jim Wynorski and Roger Corman you know it's going to be a wild ride.

Join us as we talk about the devil worshiping metal god Sammi Curr, the misunderstood high school headbanger Ragman and rocking fun cameos by Gene Simmons and Ozzy Osbourne.

This week things are getting hairy with a classic (?) ABC family movie special. Imagine you had the power to turn into a werewolf, but only for two minutes at a time. We follow Walt and his sassy sidekick Cindy as they navigate the complexities of his 120 second werewolf transformations, crime solving and wicked lycanthropic gymnastics. *As a bonus, we have our top werewolf movie recommendations for the spooky holiday season!

This week we take a trip into a magical land of elves, dwarfs, unicorns and goblins. We discuss the complexities of theater majors, what the term for a unicorn with no horn is and how the Prince of Darkness likes to rave. Oh and for all you Tom Cruise fans don't worry...we spend A LOT of time pointing out his uncanny ability to squat in any given situation.

Join us this week as we explore the strange world of David Cronenberg's Videodrome. We look at how the film is still relevant today and how the practical effects hold up three decades later. It's an odd movie, but we do our best to break it down, even if we wander off into discussions of medieval monks being addicted to illuminated manuscripts...it is still a Laser Graves episode after all.

Join us this week as we journey into the future, all the way to the year 2019. In the post-apocalyptic wasteland of New York there are cyber street punks, homeless men playing trumpets and mutant ape people. We debate the fate of the human race and Maria does an amazing pan flute impression. Only the best for our listeners.

This week Maria takes charge and surprises E.K. with a look into the creation of Cabbage Patch dolls and their creepy cousins, The Garbage Pail Kids. There is lying, cheating, theft and lawsuits in this bizarre tale of two iconic children's franchises from the 1980s. From the first insanely priced Cabbage Patch doll to be "adopted" to the nightmare inducing live action Garbage Pail Kids movie, we examine this tale of two worlds, bound by physical features, but separated by bodily fluids.
