Welcome back to Cash Exchange Presents. This week we’ve got one of the better known low budget horror movies in recent years. Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. Is this a schlocky mess? Does it seem like this was only made to be a middle finger to the house that Mickey built? Is it chock full of terrible judgment and a total lack of common sense? Yes, yes, and yes. It’s worth your time and so is this episode. Enjoy! -C

Technology!

It feels like the moment you catch up is the moment the very expensive new thing you bought is already out-of-date. In this episode we discuss planned obsolescence, the thing keeping our wallets empty and our landfills full.

So dust off that “vintage” phone from 2021, plug it in for the fifth time today, and join us as we laugh, cry, and scream into the void about the idiocy of the AI-powered bidet

Enjoy!

Hey there boys and ghouls!

When you were a kid, did you picture the tooth fairy as Dwanye "The Rock" Johnson, Larry the Cable Guy, or perhaps a nostril-eyed lipless demon? No? Well, we can't all be perfect.

Today's episode kicks off a fun new series where we dive into my favorite way to spend an hour and a half (aside from the podcast), low budget horror movies, specifically the 2022 film Tooth Fairy: A Drill to Kill.

Let's get this horror show on the road!

How bad does something have to be before it does a complete 180 and turns into a masterpiece of nonsense? Isn’t there something nice about a piece of art that understands what it’s about and is just there to be fun? That’s what we talk about this week, a topic that both of us are very passionate about, low budget horror. Whether it’s public domain characters that get a reimagining or the most outrageous and convoluted concept that’s ever been put in front of a camera, we’re here for all of it. Make sure to stick around to the end of the episode where we unveil a big announcement. Enjoy!-C

What if you were born without a conscience and there wasn’t a voice in your head telling you to take other people into consideration? This week we talk about the people and entities that were able to shut that off and get ahead no matter how many people they had to step on in the process. Talking about the schemers and the scammers. The snakes willing to do whatever it takes to be on top. From the first recorded scam to the biggest schemes to date. This one if full of lots of fun facts. Enjoy! -C

Have you ever wanted to be the very best, the best there ever was? Felt a yearning for the fame and fortune that would come your way if you showed the world that you could jump rope for 9 days straight while balancing a bowling ball on your head? Well, have I got good news for you! For only 5 dollars, you can submit yourself to be selected for being the next entry in the Guinness Book of World Records. A book that was near and dear to us growing up. We get into what criteria you need to meet, what you can’t do, and some of the absolutely ridiculous things that have been submitted and approved. It’s a wild ride. Enjoy! -C

Ever gotten really into a show but realized the last season was 5 years ago? You just wanted to squeeze a little more out of it. You felt like there was more story to tell. Then you do a little quick googling and see that it’s been renewed for a whole new season! Sure, some of the characters are changed out and the main plot is a little different, but you got your wish! All is right with he world. Then… you watch it. Every bit of love you had for it just goes straight down the drain and you wish you had just left things where they were. That’s what we discuss this week, reboots and spin-offs. Granted there are some great ones that either are a good expansion of what came before or take the in show universe to a whole new level. Check out this week’s episode and see if you agree, disagree, or want to bring up any we forgot to mention. Enjoy! -C

Ever taken stock of your life, really reflected on the the experiences you’ve had and all the things you’ve overcome and thought, “If I had a camera crew follow me around to get all this I’d be famous”. Well… one, you don’t want a camera crew watching 24/7 always rolling tape in case something interesting happened, and two, you’re life isn’t nearly as exciting to other people as you think it is. The people in today’s episode didn’t get the memo. We get into reality tv and how it’s shaped the world. Does it bring any positivity to the world or have we been just become addicted to mind numbing voyeurism. Give this a listen and see what we think. Enjoy! - C
