The world can be a better place for you! This week, Peaches and Michael are taking a strange trip in celebration of 1968's SKIDOO! In addition to discussing this psychedelic curiosity's prophetic approach to mind expansion, our hosts delve into why this star-studded, Otto Preminger-directed fever dream deserves a cult rediscovery. Joining the conversation is celebrated artist and producer Brendan Haley, who talks about how he found his way to this movie via Carol Channing and never looked back. Then, acclaimed author and TV host Richard Metzger stops by to share insight on a lifetime of love for this slice of counter-culture cinema, and what it means to be the world's foremost "Skidoo-ologist." From Jackie Gleason dropping acid to hippies storming the yacht of God, this episode has it all! Go!
