The Wanger Show

In 2016, Christian Ruvalcaba, Cody Hall, and Brian Perez started recording themselves talking and the rest was history. Their hour-ish long podcast, known as “The Wanger Show”, quickly became and continues to be the #1 podcast (according to us) on the Schmoes Know iTunes feed. Their popularity has skyrocketed but their egos have been kept in check. Well, except for Brian. That guy’s out of control. Together, the guys continued to collaborate on various short films and sketches while remaining the BEST of friends. Maybe not the best of friends. They’re friends. Well, they’re more acquaintances.

Hello! Welcome back to the pod. TONIGHT, we're getting ready for our live karaoke show next week and we're FILLED with anxiety. What's that? Only one of us is? Everyone else is stoked and has none of that whatsoever? GOT IT. Pixar is back with Toy Story 5 and this time it's REALLY the end of the story, guys. Seriously. They're definitely not gonna make any more. Widow's Bay wrapped up a fantastic first season. George Lucas loves the Minions.

Let's Try To Get Excited About Star Wars Again | Wanger Show 446
A long time ago, in a podcast feed far, far away...*cue the music* THE WANGER SHOWEPISODE CDXLVI (WE GOOGLED THAT TO MAKE SURE WE GOT THE ROMAN NUMERALS RIGHT)It's a tumultuous time in Wanger Show land. Ever since we posted the RESIDENT EVIL short from last week, people are STILL commenting and giving their very original opinion that the new movie shouldn't be called Resident Evil if they're not going to explicitly tell the EXACT same story from the video games. CODY has found this whole situation hilarious, while CHRISTIAN still claims to be too old to care about any of this, and BRIAN is nowhere to be found...Elsewhere, the new motion picture HOKUM has awakened a new fear in audiences: really well done WIDE SHOTS. Both Christian and Cody saw the film, and are excited to give their thoughts on said spooky wide shots...In the sports world, the LAKERS survived the ridiculous FLAGRANT 2 call on DEANDRE AYTON in game 4 and bounced back to win the series. While they will no doubt be obliterated by the OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER in the next round, this past series gave us some fun LEBRON meme moments. But back to STAR WARS. Today is May the 4th, which means it's time to rip the band-aid off and embark on our most controversial ranking yet. That's right, tonight we are going to be ranking the STAR WARS motion pictures. I'm sure the comments will be very civil..........(this is the part where the crawl disappears into space and we tilt down or some sh*t)GET TICKETS TO WANGERS KARAOKE 2026 HERE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wangers-karaoke-2026-tickets-1708787131309?aff=oddtdtcreator

Hey! Welcome back to the pod. TONIGHT, the trailer for the final Jackass movie came out and we're ready to sit there in the theater and cry over grown men hitting each other in the nuts. It's gonna be beautiful. It's also the start of the summer movie season so we're gonna put on our shades and discuss that. We may have a ranking or two. Cody also fought a goose. We got everything tonight, folks. GET TICKETS TO WANGERS KARAOKE 2026 HERE: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wangers-karaoke-2026-tickets-1708787131309?aff=oddtdtcreator
