The Wanger Show

Arts & Culture Podcasts

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.

Heather Grace Hancock Returns & THE MOVIE INDUSTRY IS FALLING APART | Wanger Show 361

5/28/2024
It's Monday, everybody! We're back. You're back (hopefully). Grace is back! People are definitely back! TONIGHT, the movie industry...is not back? Everyone's freaking out because they're only making tens of millions of dollars on opening weekend instead of hundreds of millions of dollars and we're ready to blame it all on Garfield. I mean, we haven't seen Garfield, but that lazy cat has something to do with this and we know it. There was also a new Mad Max picture and a couple of us saw it. Side note, is there a better name for an angry person than Furiosa? Also, hear me out. The Fast & the Furiosa. Think about it. Has anyone made that joke already? I'm sure everyone has. Nothing is original. We're all frauds. What else are we gonna talk about? Cody might've read another book? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewangershow/support

Hello there! Welcome back to another episode of the podcast. TONIGHT, we're back. Taylor Swift is back. We know absolutely nothing about her music but we're gonna talk about it because it's the thing that people are talking about. The NBA playoffs are in full swing and the Lakers are stuck dealing with the Nuggets again. Abigail was a movie that I think we both saw. Cody's debating buying an expensive guitar. He also fell asleep while watching something again. Christian also did stuff this weekend but Cody didn't check with him before writing this description so we're gonna keep his latest updates mysterious... --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewangershow/support

Sum 41 released their final album, causing Cody to look back at their career while simultaneously coming to terms with the concept of time and aging and all that existential good stuff.

How's this sound? First, Cody needs to hit the wrong soundbite. Then, one of us needs to leave at some point to go to the bathroom. Finally, if Ken and Christian bring up a serious world news topic and Cody goes silent then we're BRINGING IT ALL HOME, FAM.

Hey. What's going on? You good? How's the fam? That's great. Hey, welcome back to another episode of the show!

Not together. We all saw is separately. At different times. Probably alone. I mean, I had a guy sitting next to me who was snoring the entire time, but we might talk about that on the program. We're also joined tonight by our buddy Adam! He loves a good Villeneuve joint so we definitely had to bring him back to discuss this one. We'll also laugh along the way. I don't know if you're gonna laugh along the way, but if you do, let us know. Leave a good "LOL" or "Hey, that was funny!"

Hey there. Hope you're well. TONIGHT, controversial guest Alex Marzoña RETURNS and this guy is known to ruffle some feathers. He's been known to poke some bears. You know when people say their shit don't stink? Well Alex's shit doesn't stink. I don't really know if that last one works but it's too late. I've already typed it. Obviously this is all ridiculous because Alex is America's sweetheart. He'd never ruffle anyone's feathers. If he came across a bear, I guarantee he would try to run away.
