    Bunker Heights: Crime. Comedy. Creatures. ~ Drew Fortier & David Ellefson | Ep. 299

    Drew Fortier and David Ellefson join Dimples and The Beard to talk Bunker Heights — Crime. Comedy. Creatures. Drew wrote it while recovering from cancer surgery and made it for under $30,000 with his some of his favorite people, including David and every member of The Lucid, Hannah Fierman and Violent J from Insane Clown Posse. Inside the making of it: practical creatures, a haunted hospital, and a genuine blooper he refused to cut from the ending. The conversation also covers how Drew and David met and formed The Lucid, recruiting Vinnie Dombroski of Sponge, Drew's zero-dollar found-footage movie Dwellers, and the Bang Tango documentary that ended with him joining the band — plus David on Megadeth's farewell tour and Metal Church. Bunker Heights is out now on Blu-ray and streaming.

    Zookeeper Fired for Licking a Gorilla?! ~ Dimples and The Beard | Ep. 298

    No guest this week — just Dimples and The Beard, a stack of unhinged news stories, and a brand-new assistant named Eleanor Vance, who lost her last job at the zoo for reasons we probably shouldn't say out loud. (We say them out loud.) We also get into the Milwaukee woman who faked her way into a classroom as a substitute teacher, the girlfriend who smeared peanut butter on her severely allergic boyfriend, a Florida poop-bucket situation, the Christa Pike execution saga, the viral claim that California is making short drivers use booster seats, donuts and a DUI at an Indiana courthouse, Dimples' Ford Fiesta donut story and a love letter to Stuc's Pizza. Plus: Episode 300 is our first-ever livestream — Halloween night, Saturday, October 31 at 7 PM Central, live on Instagram and YouTube. The costumes stay top secret until showtime.

    Devour: 38 Werewolf Kills in 5 Minutes?! ~ Heidi Shepherd & KateLynn Newberry | Ep. 297

    Heidi Shepherd, vocalist of Butcher Babies, and KateLynn Newberry star in Devour — the wild horror flick with an all-female metal band made up of vampires battling a warlock-run cult including a werewolf and a minotaur. They join Dimples and The Beard to talk about the minotaur fight — shot in about an hour at dawn, two days before Christmas, in the freezing cold — and the "soup room," an actual swimming pool of blood and body parts. We also get into the casting shuffle that landed Heidi in KateLynn's original role, the improvised "boring Jerry" line that tilted the movie toward comedy, the hurricane that ate the first werewolf suit, how an 8-day shoot stretched to 35, and KateLynn's role in Clint Eastwood's Juror #2 — where Eastwood took her hand and thanked her for being in his movie.

    Fired From Being Spider-Man?! ~ Greg Giraldo Jr. | Ep. 296

    Greg Giraldo Jr. is carrying one of the most famous names in comedy — and he's earning it on his own. The New York roast-battle regular joins Dimples and The Beard to talk about starting out under a fake name (Greg Hernandez, and the hacky jokes that came with it), why being a nepo baby is like being a hot girl, and what it's like when every roast battler you face has the same obvious target. We also get into his day job as a New York City substitute teacher — why seventh graders are the worst people alive, dodging impossible questions from students, and denying to kids' faces that he's the guy from TikTok. Plus the story of how he got FIRED from being Spider-Man at children's birthday parties (the costume-party business is apparently run by the mob and ex-strippers), the roast joke that won him his girlfriend, getting passed over by Kill Tony twice, and growing up as the self-described dumbest of the three Giraldo brothers.

    There's a Big Baby on Shudder ~ Spider One & Krsy Fox | Ep. 295

    There's a Big Baby on Shudder... or at least there will be soon. October 30th to be exact. Powerman 5000 frontman Spider One and Terrifier 3's Krsy Fox join Dimples and The Beard to talk Big Baby, their new meta slasher hitting Shudder this Halloween. They dig into how a deliberately absurd short grew into a full psychological horror feature, the custom Big Baby mask, and the moment Spider admitted two podcaster characters in the movie are directly based on Dimples and The Beard themselves. Spider and Krsy also get into Art the Clown actor David Howard Thornton's unexpected speaking cameo, the Kevin Smith Smod Castle screening, the film's deliberately ambiguous ending, Krsy going from Terrifier 3 to playing the heart of this one, their grindhouse-style family road tour, and what's next — including Big Baby 2.

    Fast & Furious on Kill Tony ~ Comedian Galina Rivina | Ep. 294

    Comedian Galina Rivina joins Dimples and The Beard to talk about her Kill Tony appearance, performing in front of Tony Hinchcliffe and Jimmy Carr, and why “fast and furious” was the perfect accidental description. She also explains why Furious 7 is her favorite installment in the franchise, how Austin wore her down after her comedy career stalled in Los Angeles, and what the city’s massive Kill Tony bucket scene is really like. Galina shares how she learned English by watching Rugrats, escaped Cleveland for Los Angeles, discovered stand-up during her first visit to The Comedy Store, and survived bombing her first set. The conversation also covers her bad tattoos, producing the Galina Rivina Podcastina, doing everything herself, and building a comedy career without getting trapped on the road.

    Lily Likes Us ~ Hannah Fierman | Ep. 293

    Hannah Fierman joins Dimples and The Beard to discuss playing Lily in V/H/S and SiREN, including the producer who wanted to recast her, the contortionist stunt double behind Lily’s inhuman movements, and why Hannah’s real singing voice was ultimately used in SiREN. She also takes us behind the scenes of St. Agatha, revealing that Sarah’s brutal tongue-cutting scene wasn’t originally in the script and explaining what it was like working with director Darren Lynn Bousman and Carolyn Hennesy. Hannah also discusses winning Best Lead at HorrorHound for Demonatrix and the film’s bizarre mix of a dominatrix, a Catholic priest, séances, demons, and dark comedy. Plus, she shares the compromises involved in directing The Events Surrounding a Peeping Tom, the three-hour process of gluing artificial eyes across her face for a music video, and producing Bunker Heights—a throwback crime-comedy-creature feature described as Lethal Weapon meets C.H.U.D..

    Bullsh*t Artist! ~ The Greasy Strangler’s Sky Elobar | Ep. 292

    Sky Elobar—Big Brayden from the cult comedy The Greasy Strangler—joins The Beard and Dimples for an uncensored look behind one of the strangest movies ever made. Sky reveals what he thought when he first read Jim Hosking and Toby Harvard’s outrageous script, how he landed the role, Don Swayze’s unexpected audition, Michael St. Michaels’ struggle to remember Big Ronnie’s dialogue and Elijah Wood’s reaction while watching them film. He also discusses the uncomfortable prosthetics and greasy suits, Big Ronnie’s unforgettable dance, scenes considered too extreme to shoot, the film’s surprising Sundance success and the original ending featuring Big Brayden and Big Ronnie running naked through downtown Los Angeles. Sky also takes us inside Jim Hosking’s Ebony and Ivory, including its marathon dialogue, the freezing 45-degree ocean scene that nearly killed his co-star, smoking “doobie woobies” made from green tea and filming in Cornwall, England. He explains how Renegades helped launch Hosking’s Sundance journey, how his own new psychological feature grew from a short film and how Greasy Strangler fans—including Deadmau5 and a TCU football player—helped make it happen. The conversation also covers Sky’s music career with Seventh House, opening for Dave Matthews Band and Bob Seger, recording with a German metal band, signing with Phil Anselmo’s Housecore Records, getting naked on Conan, joining SAG and appearing in commercials with Bill Hader, Sarah McLachlan and LeBron James—plus the September 18 Ebony and Ivory screening at the Rivoli Theatre in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

    He Roasted Tony Hinchcliffe Before It Was Cool ~ Comedian Greg Roque | Ep. 291

    Comedian and screenwriter Greg Roque joins The Beard and Dimples to reveal the full story behind the viral Roast Battle clip in which he relentlessly roasted Tony Hinchcliffe. Greg explains why their history became personal, whether he would still go after Tony today and why he considers himself one of the comedy “punk pioneers” who criticized Tony before it was cool. Greg also discusses his Black List-recognized Jerry Springer screenplay, the influence Steve Martin had on his education, his massive physical-media collection, watching more than 1,000 movies in one year, becoming a quadriplegic after a spinal-cord injury at 14, fatherhood and his newly recorded comedy special, Invalid Invalid.

    ICE Detained Her for 73 Days ~ Everlee Wihongi | Ep. 290

    Everlee Wihongi returned to the United States through LAX after a family trip to New Zealand and was detained by ICE over a 2012 marijuana conviction involving less than two grams. What she believed would be a brief delay for paperwork became 73 days inside immigration detention facilities in California, Texas and Arizona. Everlee tells The Beard and Dimples how she was separated from her family, pressured to sign a document she wasn’t allowed to read, transported in belly chains and shackles, and denied food and privacy. She also describes detention-center failures that repeatedly kept her from scheduled court hearings. Everlee explains how a dishonest former lawyer contributed to her immigration nightmare, what happened when her Wisconsin conviction was vacated and why ICE released her without her passport, Green Card or official release papers. She discusses rebuilding her life as a robotic technician, the emotional impact of detention and why she continues telling her story for friends who remain trapped in the immigration system—including a woman reportedly detained for a year while legally recorded as dead in Bulgaria. This is Everlee Wihongi’s firsthand account of ICE detention, immigration court failures and the people still waiting for help. New episodes every Monday.

    FOILED Is 20?! ~ Matt Noveskey | Ep. 289

    Matt Noveskey of Blue October joins Cocktails with Dimples and The Beard to talk about the 20th anniversary of Foiled and what it’s like revisiting one of the band’s biggest albums two decades later. Matt shares which songs had to be relearned, why playing Foiled front to back has been such a different experience for the band and fans, and how rehearsing “Let It Go” revealed that he’d been counting the same part wrong for years. We also get into Blue October’s massive 70-show North American tour, the appeal of full-album anniversary concerts, deep cuts fans have waited years to hear, the future of Blue October, and why Matt believes live music is at its best when bands leave room for mistakes, spontaneity and the human element instead of relying too heavily on backing tracks. Matt also takes us back to his early days learning bass by rewinding cassette tapes of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rush and Primus, recording songs off the radio and surviving DJs talking over the intros. He opens up about reconnecting with his old Michigan bandmates after more than 25 years to form Disastronaut, their song “Midwest Love Song,” an unreleased track called “Torture,” and the possibility of finally playing shows together. Plus, we talk about his kids’ musical talents, the latest on Icarus Bell, life on the road, memorable tour-bus stories, and—because we couldn’t help ourselves—a little Lions, Bears and Packers talk along the way.

    She Makes Adult Films Women Actually Want ~ Inka Winter | Ep. 288

    Ethical adult filmmaker Inka Winter joins The Beard and Dimples to explain how she creates adult films women actually want. The founder of ForPlay Films breaks down the difference between ethical, feminist and female-friendly pornography, why mainstream adult films didn’t work for her, and how consent, authentic pleasure, emotional connection and performer collaboration shape every scene she directs. Inka also shares her remarkable journey from growing up in Austria’s Friedrichshof cult to studying economics, fashion and costume design before entering adult filmmaking. She takes us behind the scenes of her *Bridgerton*-inspired production *Ashford Manor*, reveals what it takes to organize an orgy, explains why men shouldn’t compete with vibrators, and discusses sex education, psychedelic trip sitting, laughter during sex—and bringing her own bread to the AVN Awards.

    Are You Saying I’m the Funniest Person You Know? ~ Comedian Liz Zagone | Ep. 287

    Comedian Liz Zagone joins The Beard and Dimples for a funny, unfiltered conversation about building a stand-up career from scratch, beginning with the unexpected text from her little brother that pushed her toward her first class at Second City. Liz talks about turning nearly two decades of bartending in Chicago and West Hollywood into comedy, creating her debut stand-up special Sick Little Freak and watching it surpass 100,000 views on YouTube. She also shares stories about winning a refrigerator on The Price Is Right, appearing on Comics Unleashed, growing up around her family’s Halloween-mask business, serving celebrities in Los Angeles and filming her bizarre dead-mom role for a Dhar Mann video—including what she says was an unexpected off-script kiss. Liz also takes us behind the scenes of Womb Room, the comedy pilot she co-created, produced and starred in before premiering it at SeriesFest, with stories involving yoni steaming, strategically edited nudity and plans to transform the project into a vertical comedy series. Then the conversation goes deeper as Liz explains how repeated ayahuasca ceremonies—some shared with her sister and father—helped her build self-worth, process grief and become more confident in both life and comedy. From worrying that healing might cost her comedic edge to realizing that something only needs to be funny to her, this episode of Cocktails with Dimples and The Beard reveals exactly who Liz Zagone is: a comedian, writer, actor, producer, bartender and self-described sick little freak.

    The Magical Negro ~ Comedian Justin Leon | Ep. 286

    Milwaukee comedian Justin Leon joins The Beard and Dimples ahead of his August 7th and 8th shows at The Laughing Tap, and the interview immediately turns into a full-scale roast. The Kansas City native looks back at getting his first laugh at six, being one of three Black students cast as thugs in a Lutheran school play, performing twenty minutes his first time onstage, and finding stand-up at Stanford and Sons. He also resurrects the poem that once crushed at an open mic—“Bitch, You Made My Nuts Itch”—which somehow prompts Dimples to confess that he once ignored a friend’s explicit warning about crabs. Justin also opens up about marriage, fatherhood, moving to Wisconsin, and losing his stepfather and biological father within 24 hours. From his hemp-farm experience and Kansas City barbecue standards to a suspicious “watermelon” code word, a Wisconsin intervention, and a heated Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James debate, nothing stays serious for long. Along the way, Justin turns Dimples’ divorce and massive DVD collection into an impromptu therapy session—and earns the episode title: The Magical Negro. New episodes every Monday.

    Bobby Lee Wanted Him to Rat... But Did He? ~ Comedian Luke Binkow | Ep. 285

    Comedian Luke Binkow joins The Beard and Dimples to talk about becoming a recurring guest on Bobby Lee’s TigerBelly—and the Comedy Store parking-lot accident that left him caught between his managers, a damaged car and Bobby demanding to know who ratted. Luke explains how his relationship with Bobby led to the opportunity, what it’s like joining a podcast with a fiercely loyal audience and why working alongside Thomas Lennon immediately made him question whether he was prepared. He also shares the chaotic process of becoming a Comedy Store door guy, winning Set of the Night six times and competing against Mikey McDonald for what they assumed was the only available “white guy spot.” Luke also traces his path from California stoner and aspiring filmmaker to studying directing at Chapman University, taking an online stand-up class during COVID and performing his first open mic at Flappers before months of bombing in Orange County bars. The conversation covers Roast Battle, his joke-writing process, turning failed stand-up premises into sketches with This Place Is Huge, writing a pilot with fellow comedian Joey Cerone, developing a short film and imagining a comedy special filmed entirely inside a car.
