Miss you guys.

Pretty safe to say that the pod is dead. Thanks for listening for all these years. We greatly appreciate your time. Download the back catalog while you can... I honestly don't know how long it will stay around. There have been talks that Doug and Kendall MAY start up something sometime (just have to figure out the logistics first), so stay tuned for that.

Again, thanks for giving a crap about us all these years. We had tons of fun and had the absolute best listeners.

Keep on Rantin',

Happy 2023 everyone! We hope this new year treats you right.

The masterpiece turns 44. Fun fact: we love this flick so much that we've done multiple episodes on it! Check out the comments for links. How many times have you watched this classic this Halloween season??

09/10/2022

Well, it looks like we are on an indefinite hiatus. I don't see us getting together to record anytime soon and for that I'm sorry. When/if we come back you'll definitely know it! We do hope you'll dive back into the archives (itunes, Spotify, Amazon, etc). We have over 200 episodes to tide you over until we return. Thanks for listening, folks! We greatly appreciate it.

See ya later (not goodbye).

Well folks, looks like we're going to be taking a brief hiatus. Our lives are pretty hectic at the moment (If you couldn't already tell with our frequent inconsistencies and such) and we're gonna focus on that. Sorry. We'll be back soon.
Keep those alerts on so you can know when we're back!

Hit up those archives for 4+ years of shows to tide your rant cravings!

Love you guys,

Thanks for understanding,

The Carpenter Rants Podcast: Three Nobodies discussing the master works of horror cinema.

20/07/2022

Wednesday! We're back... with technical issues. This week, the Nobodies are back, and they are breaking down the 1999 mega hit The Sixth Sense. What happens when a little boy sees ghosts and befriends his therapist with a haunted past of his own? Listen and find out. Bruce Willis, Toni Collete, and Haley Joel Osment give three knockout performances in this lean and mean thriller from writer/director, M. Night Shyamalan.

*Technical Note*

An hour of Kendall's podcast audio was lost. We did our best to cut around until she returns.
