·1 hr 18 min·5 clips

Bill Skarsgård's guttural Transylvanian accent in 'Nosferatu' wasn't faked in post-production.

The episode begins with hosts Pat and Kev welcoming listeners and setting the stage for their year-end review of 2024 pop culture. They start with best movies, where Pat picks 'Alien Romulus' for its fresh take on the franchise, and Kev chooses 'Nosferatu', praising its eerie atmosphere and Bill Skarsgård's performance. They then discuss worst movies, with Kev criticizing 'Babes' for its poor humor and Pat condemning an unnamed slasher film for being boring. Moving to TV, Kev highlights 'The Penguin' as a standout crime drama spinoff, while Pat recommends 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith' for its unique premise. For worst TV, Kev targets 'True Detective: Night Country', and Pat mentions struggling to finish 'Agatha Always'. In music, Pat selects Kaytranada's 'Witchy' as best song, and Kev picks Tyler, the Creator's 'That Guy'. Viral moments include Pat's story about Hebrew tunnels in New York and Kev's account of the AI Willy Wonka scam in Glasgow. They also touch on worst viral moments like Ray Gun's breakdancing and Hawk Tuah's rise. The episode concludes with a look ahead to 2025, including the Superman movie and Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show, followed by closing remarks.
