<p>Adam and Brian head into the weird, wild world of Dan Aykroyd with a double feature that&#39;s equal parts cult classic and cinematic fever dream: <em>Coneheads</em> and <em>Nothing But Trouble</em>. Joining them for the ride is special guest Kevin from the Reel for Real Podcast.</p><p>First, the crew beams up to suburbia with <em>Coneheads</em>, the 1993 comedy based on the beloved Saturday Night Live sketch. Starring Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin, and Michelle Burke, the film follows a family of extraterrestrials trying to blend into everyday American life while avoiding government agents and navigating the absurdities of human culture. The guys discuss the film&#39;s surprising heart, its stacked cast, and whether this oddball sci-fi comedy deserved a better reputation.</p><p>Then things get truly bizarre with <em>Nothing But Trouble</em>, Dan Aykroyd&#39;s infamous directorial debut. Featuring Chevy Chase, Demi Moore, John Candy, and Aykroyd himself in multiple unforgettable roles, this dark comedy nightmare traps its characters in a grotesque small-town justice system unlike anything ever put on film. The hosts break down the movie&#39;s insane production, legendary practical effects, bizarre humor, and why it remains one of the most divisive cult movies of the 1990s.</p><p>So grab a six-pack of Conehead brew, avoid the Bone Stripper, and join us for a journey into two of the strangest comedies ever unleashed on unsuspecting video store shelves.</p>
