We wanna be the very best, like no podcast ever was! To catch firsts is our real test, to rate them with Debs is our cause! In the 1990s, Pocket Monsters took the world by storm and proved that a popular Japanese property could not just gain traction in the United States... It could supplant just about everything else! We're digging deep, Diglett-style, to find the FIRST POKÉMON with special guest Ryan Tate! Plus, some especially chewy MouthGarf Report and I See What You Did There.

Before 1960, movies just played on loops at the theater and people could buy a ticket and come and go as they pleased. Then, a film had so massive a twist that the director demanded theaters not let viewers wander in willy-nilly. We're discussing Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock's cinema-altering classic on this episode! Plus, a journey to the center of the MouthGarf Report, and I See What You Did There.

It's Mann versus machine. It's Mann versus manhood. It's probably the best television film of all time. And it just so happens to be the debut for one Steven Spielberg. If you like Jaws, may we recommend Duel... where the shark is a big, scary truck! We discuss the film and its background, plus some general Spielberg chatter, the Mouthgarf Report, and I See What You Did There!

Back in 1962, the Tornados released "Telstar" a spaced out instrumental written and produced by Joe Meek. It was the First Record by a British Rock Group to Reach Number One in the US Hot 100 and it set Meek apart from the record producers of his time. We explore "Telstar" and the Meek's career and legacy, from ingenuity to outer space to paranoia and beyond. Plus, a jaw-clenching Mouthgarf Report and I See What You Did There!

The Quiet Rapture is upon us. There's an ocean of blood. And lots of clues and questions. On this episode we discuss 2026's Iron Lung, the first film directed by Markiplier. We dig into the plot, the cosmic horror, and try to make sense of it even though none of us had played the video game on which the film is based. Plus, the MouthGarf Report, and I See What You Did There!

See this movie! It's wild!

Can we ever really know who we are? And does self-knowledge come with an incredible cost to ourselves and others? Maybe! We investigate the First Philip K. Dick Adaptation, with a 1962 episode of the British TV show Out of This World on his short story "The Imposter." Plus, we do a medium dive into PKD's life. And there's lots to discuss in the MouthGarf Report! Plus, I See What You Did There!
