Podcast Killed The Video Star

Time for a Halloween Spooktacular! Mat Elfring, Andrew Parks, and Will Ash are back and having a frightfully good time drinking beers and watching terrifying music videos. This week they watch "Come to Daddy" and "Rubber Johnny" by Aphex Twin, "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell, and "Scream" by The Misfits.

Mat is joined by Cheeseburger Parks and Will "Gravy" Ash as they try to make sense of J-Pop. The guys watch BabyMetal's "Doki Doki Morning," Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's "Ponponpon," and a special video chosen by Parks, who doesn't get the concept of the episode.

All good things must come to an end, and for Mat Elfring at his guests The 5-50 Band, that means the final chapters of R Kelly's "Trapped in the Closet," for now. They watch the anti-climactic Chapters 29-33, which features the best and worst of the entire series.

It's time, once again, to dive into R Kelly's insane world that is "Trapped in the Closet." Mat is joined by Chris, Brian, and Koopa of The 5-50 Band, formerly known as Los Mysterios, and they try to figure out just what in the hell is going on in Chapters 23-28.

To celebrate the start of the NFL season, Mat is talking about music videos performed by NFL teams. Of course, he's discussing the "Super Bowl Shuffle" by the Chicago Bears. In addition, Mat learns about the overly-sexual "Ram It" by the LA Rams and ponders "Fear Da Tiger" by the Cincinnati Bengals.

Matt Drufke dives into Taylor Swift's newest music video "Look What You Make Me Do," which has broken YouTube records. Mat Elfring chimes in occasionally, even though he wasn't originally part of the episode, to give his thoughts and some background info on the Taylor Swift/Katy Perry feud. 

Returning champions Matt Drufke and Erin Kulinski are here to talk about a couple of Spike Jonze videos: "Sabotage" by Beastie Boys and "Get Back" by Ludacris. Mat and Matt discuss the finer points of bathroom etiquette, and Erin enjoys a good fake mustache and wig.

It's been months, but Matt Drufke and Mat Elfring are back together again! They are joined by Erin Kulinski to talk about Lionel Richie's "Hello" followed by "Goodbye" by the Spice Girls, which was only chosen because it had wolves in the screenshot.

This week, Mat takes suggestions from fans of the show and watches three videos recommended by you! He watches Ima Robot's "Greenback Boogie," Shudder To Think's "X-French Tee Shirt," and Gorillaz's "Saturnz Barz."

Things get a little sexy on PKThe After Dark, as Cheeseburger picks out the videos for what he describes as a "very horny episode." We watch "Dirrty" by Xtina (Before she became Xtina), "Toxic" by Britney Spears, and "Nasty" by Janet Jackson. Cheeseburger's reactions are a bit gross. 

After a long week at San Diego Comic Con, Mat is back! He and Cheeseburger Parks are discussing the evolution of singer Davey Havok throughout the years, and their first time seeing AFI live. This week, they watch AFI's "He Who Laughs Last," "Miss Murder," and Dreamcar's "Kill For Candy." Honestly, this is all just a ploy by Mat to get you to buy Dreamcar's album because he loves it. 

Returning champion Matt Drufke hosts this week's episode, and it revolves around the classy and refined tradition of dinner parties. He welcomes comedians Alex Crockman and Steve Comenduley as they was Against Me!'s "Thrash Unreal" and INXS's "The One Thing," all while serving up the greatest foods you can never see because this is an audio podcast.

Mat and Cheeseburger take a tour of Michael Jackson's "Thriller," a John Landis directed music video that takes place in a dream, in a Vincent Price directed movie. While many consider "Thriller" to be one of the best music videos ever made, does it still hold up? After Cheeseburger and Mat discussed "Black or White," they're a bit skeptical. However, spoiler alert, "Thriller" is still awesome and has the best jacket featured in a music video of all time.

In this miniepisode, Mat discusses Kesha's newest music video "Praying." The artist has gone through a tremendous journey over the past couple of years and created this image-heavy and emotional new video. This isn't your typical PKThe episode, as we keep it on the serious side of things.

Time to shoot off some fireworks and blow some stuff up! This week, Cheeseburger and Mat are getting uber-patriotic, drinking American beer, and watching three music videos about America: "Living in America" by James Brown, "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. by John Mellencamp, and "Party in the U.S.A." by Miley Cyrus.

After having the flu for a week and binging GLOW on Netflix, Mat hunkered down and put together an episode revolving around wrestlers in music videos. You can hear about Mat's story hosting an event at E3 and just how sick he got as he discusses "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Bif Naked, "It Doesn't Matter" by Wyclef Jean, and "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper.

This week, Mat and Rock n Roll Andy celebrate their love of Turquoise Jeep, a record label that puts out bizarre, mainly green screened, videos which are seemingly satire of contemporary R&B and hip hop. The guys watch "Wifey Boo," "The Cleaning Lady Hates Me," and "Lemme Smang It."

PKThe takes the time to celebrate the nation that is dominating when it comes to music videos: South Korea. Rock N Roll Andy and Mat are joined by Brian Leh, as both he and Mat have a love for K-Pop, more specifically, Taeyang. The guys watch "Bang Bang Bang" by Big Bang, "New Face" by Psy, and "Wedding Dress" by Taeyang. Take a shot every time someone says "Taeyang," and you'll be drunk in 10 minutes. 

Mat and Cheeseburger get weird again. This week, they’re in a post-apocalyptic future watching two videos about the post-apocalypse: “California Love” by Tupac and “Wild Boys” by Duran Duran. Will […]

Matt Drufke returns for a new miniepisode where he tries to find worthwhile videos involving NBA stars! Sadly, there aren't many, so Matt discusses "Forever" by Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem, as well as "Jam" by Michael Jordan.
