Pointless Spin-Off is taking a mid-season break but we just thought we’d drop an episode for our adoring fan(s) as a token of our appreciation and to let you know we haven’t forgotten about you.
Enjoy our improvised spin-off to The Whistleblower (2010) / bittersweet ode to Doug Walker the Nostalgia Critic and we’ll catch you in the second half of the season!

In our very 51st episode, join us as we journey to Rory’s ancestral homeland and embark on a good old fashioned hard-boiled detective caper with all the hallmarks of a classic neo-noir thriller: saxophone music, someone’s bare asshole, a GameFAQs guide, etc. Inspired by the 2012 film ’Grabbers’.

In our combined belated Halloween / Xmas / Season Two Finale special episode, Sonny and Rory present a spooktacular pointless spin-off to Tim Burton’s and Henry Selick’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, which also doubles as a prequel to our very first episode.
It’s been a bumpy season, but we hope you enjoyed it nevertheless. Happy holidays and happy 2023!

You are not well. We recommend staying at home and listening to our latest Pointless Spin-Off of ’The Adventures of Baron Munchausen’. It’s the best thing for you.
(the gag is that this episode synopsis resembles an interaction between a caretaker and a ’patient’ as if it were an instance of Munchause by-proxy syndrome)
