Plumbing the Death Star

This week the boys are tasked with the almost impossible task of attempting to be Batman on the cheap. The biggest hurdle? Not being strong, clever, smart, handsome or good looking. Those are the things that are really going to hamper your boys. We do not know how to make things non-lethal nor do we know how to find information about the seedy underbelly of a city. And even if we did, what are we going to do with that?! Listen in as three adult men realise they are well past their prime to learn how to fight, would be beaten by teens and would lose a handsome competition to a dog.Links to everything at https://linktr.ee/plumbingthedeathstar including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+

Zammit is missing, presumed dead. We can only assume that all his bad decisions have finally caught up with him. But never fear as the beautiful and normal hosts are joined by the beautiful and normal Naomi Higgins. Reality TV is pop culture, we dare you to say otherwise and today the gang try and figure out the best way to win Big Brother. They also get into the nitty gritty of Big Brother Up Late, decide what counts as an act of terrorism, and explore how Duscher requires ego death if he's to even have a chance of meeting Gretel Killeen. So listen on, enjoy and do your best to avoid intruders Frank and Oz who wish to do you some serious harm.Go listen to Naomi's podcast 3 Lemons Carcass Out wherever you listen to podcasts. It really is the perfect pop culture podcast. And check out her new show Pathological over at Humdinger Studios on YouTube starting May 7th.Links to everything at https://linktr.ee/plumbingthedeathstar including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+

JD is missing, presumed dead. We can only assume that all his bad decisions have finally caught up with him. But never fear true believer, we have Adam Carnevale from the hit podcast series 'D&D is for Nerds' to join us instead. Today we examine the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man and see how we could re-design that amazing and spectacular wall-crawler. We take the first suggestion of attempting to get a sponsorship from Velcro and really run with it. From the Val-Crow to the Valentine Crow Man, we do our best to avoid getting sued by the general public, Charles Xavier and Val Kilmer's estate before turning on a dime to try and get that lucrative cigarette sponsorship money. Spiders are scary, we do not know why Peter Parker themed himself that way. Is he stupid?

Jackson is so mad at Wonka that he forgot the golden rule of running a competition: the goal for the company, or in this instance, the man, is to get as much money as humanly possible. Jackson is so hellbent on Charlie becoming Wonka’s heir that he has perhaps forgotten that Willy Wonka is a famous dirtbag, liar and exploiter of workers. Perhaps with an incredible record setting year in chocolate sales, Wonka has picked this moment to scarper with all those funds and then give the key to his “fortune” to some stupid child who was too busy sucking down snozzberries to realise he had been scammed. Charlie is a literal child, he doesn’t know anything about taxes, shareholders or ROI. Two years down the line, he’s going to get a knock on the door while Wonka has disappeared into the wind, laying down on some beautiful island getting his snozzberry slopped off. We’d say not that island, but truth be told, would you be surprised if Wonka’s name appeared on a list? Charlie is going to rot in jail. Idiot child. Just like Jacksom.Links to everything at https://linktr.ee/plumbingthedeathstar including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+

This week we are joined by Matt Stewart from Prime Mates to ponder the question what if Harambe was buried in Stephen King's Pet Sematary?

Today the boys are joined by wonderful friend and even more wonderfuller comedian Lauren Bonner to ask a very important question one of YOU had: which green guy is the best to be? There are so many good green guys! There’s Hulk whomst gets purple pants every time he exists. Green Goblin has goblin madness and that could be pretty neat. The Jolly Green Giant! He’s so jolly! Yoda - he gets to live in a swamp! Gamora? Gets to not be in a relationship with Chris Pratt. All wonderful green guys to be and we don’t even discuss these guys this episode! See.

Lena is joined by her buffoon co-hosts Joel, Joel and Jackson to eventually discuss the problems with superpowers in job interviews. Jackson displays a problematic amount of whimsy, JD is out for Jackson’s blood before we even start the show and Zammit and Lena have somehow synched up their lives. Don’t forget to Toss the Boss as you enjoy all the wake sandwiches you can eat while we all wait to inevitably replaced by birds. The ADHD in this episode is palpable.Go see Lena’s show Sounds Like a Brag at this year’s MICF, give her instagram a follow and sign up to her newsletter directly from her website lenamooncreates.comLinks to everything at https://linktr.ee/plumbingthedeathstar including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+

We’re Duscher-less this week but we’re joined by George and Demi from Grin and Dandy to help answer another incredible pop culture question. This time we’re going back in time with only the information contained within our rotten brains to try and exploit those past-os for personal profit or financial gain. The only problem is we aren’t clever nor do we retain information well. Zammit tries a harebrained scheme to invent the wheel but gets too caught up in coconuts and doesn’t fundamentally understand how wheels work, Jackson wants to domesticate dogs early and wants to immediately break the rules and bring back a dog, George has a brilliant idea to make a cult and Demi wants to bring back an ear worm which made Zammit think of that horrible film he hates Yesterday so changes his answer to ensuring that he Yesterdays Yesterday.If you’re in Melbourne for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, be sure to check out Grin and Dandy!

The human body has so many superfluous bits and is lacking cool things like extra knees and we here at Plumbing the Death Star are the perfect trio to come up with brilliant and very smart ideas to change things up. Let's take a hard look at our beautiful bodies and just go buck wild with it. Swapping genitals? A little guy that does all our poops for us? A big eye on the top of our head on constant watch for big birds? All this AND Jackson has a weak little mouth on another exceptional episode of what is fundamentally a pop culture podcast.Links to everything at https://linktr.ee/plumbingthedeathstar including our terrible merch, social media garbage and where to become a subscriber to Bad Brain Boys+
