They do some other stuff too, but the William Shatner Q&A takes up most of the show. Did you know Shatner was on a TV show called T.J. Hooker and the show had nothing to do with fishing?

I mean, the word ‘wasted’ is in the show title for cryin' out loud.
Here is a breakdown of this week's show: LOTR Trilogy Blu-ray, Amazon's SNAFU, e-mails, rock and roll shows, Blackest Night issue 8, and Turge. It's what you love about HHW -- pointless and directionless.

It's the Half Hour Wasted Christmas extravaganza! There will be gifts, food and lots of confusion.
This show perfectly illustrates why this show has the word "wasted" in its title. However it does not illustrate the "Half Hour" part of the title. So in the end all you have is a show that goes over a half hour and is a waste of time. Just like Frank's last date.
This week the guys play “what if” with Marvel characters and the Green Lantern spectrum of rings. Then Bill plays an “I’m sorry what was that?” that brings the show to a screeching halt.

Bill gets a poorly executed prank phone call, Sage interrupts the show (no surprise there) and then the HHW crew plays a round of "Guess That TV Theme Song." Somewhere in the middle of all that, the boys engage in spoiler-filled talk about the movie Zombieland (in which Brad has to bleep a bad word that came from his own mouth), so beware! It's fun for the whole family!

Okay, here's the deal: This week's show is about two hours long, but towards the end, Bill unveils a new segment that will bring Brad and Frank to tears.
This week's episode was actually recorded two weeks ago and was meant to be released last week. Since the guys recorded a new episode for Father's Day last week, that show, from two weeks ago, got bumped up to this week. Also, this week the guys introduce a new segment, but, because of the reasons stated above, it isn't really new anymore. Trust us, it will all make sense once you listen.
This week the guys call Frank's Dad, introduce a new show segment and then top it all off with a game of Star Wars Trivial Pursuit with Brad's daughters Ashli and Alison.
This week the HHW crew reviews and conjectures Blackest Night issue 0 and Flash: Rebirth issues 2 and 3. What? Look... not every show summary has to be funny. Sheesh...
