Re-release: 205 - Bizarro Movie Guide (w/ Naomi Ekperigin and Andy Beckerman)

About this episode

Elliott Kalan and guests Naomi Ekperigin and Andy Beckerman explore the Bizarro Movie Guide and tackle puzzles related to phobias.

While our host Elliott Kalan is otherwise engaged this week, putting the finishing touches on his 10-part documentary series New Jersey: Jewel Of The Americas, please enjoy another brain-twisting re-release! On this episode of ClueLess, host Elliott Kalan welcomes back his friends, the hilarious Naomi Ekperigin and Andy Beckerman (married comedians and hosts of the podcast Couples Therapy) to flip through the uncanny pages of the Bizarro Movie Guide! A copy of the TV listings has fallen into Elliott’s possession from an alternate universe where things are pretty opposite, can you make heads or tails of the titles in their RomComs section, and translate them back into our world? Keep track of your answers, you’ll need them to solve the MegaClue! And before that: PHOBIAS. Puzzles in this episode are by Jason Reich. Script by Elliott Kalan. Music and sound effects by Devon Torrey Bryant. Buy Elliott’s book Joke Farming: How To Write Comedy And Other Nonsense HERE. Buy Devon’s album Blame It On My Zodiac HERE or stream it anywhere you listen to records.
