Your foreign correspondent back again with another DramaPod find. The Mustache Rangers. Here's a blurb from their site:
Commander Major Alastair Q. Bastidious and First Lieutenant Rutuger G. Phooneybaum constitute the fighting force that is The Mustache Rangers. Charged with America’s greatest mission, The Mustache Rangers having gifted truth, justice, and the American way to the furthest reaches of outer space.
The radio-phone broadcasts turned “internet” “podcast” bring us the continuing adventures of these first rate gentlemen as they fulfill year four-hundred-seventy of their five-hundred year mission.
What the show is really is a weekly "space adventure serial" that is actually none of those things, but very quickly turns into the improvised and very funny bickering of the two main (and thus far, only) characters. Now normally I am of the opinion that there's no Improv that couldn't be improved by a script and some rehearsals, but there's just something about this show that tickles me. There's a lot of chemistry between the two performers, and their banter is so dry and completely off-topic, I just find the whole thing quite charming.
New episodes are posted every Monday, so far running between 8-12 minutes each. A deeply surreal way to kick the week off right. "One spoonful and you're good. Two spoonfuls and you're fine. Just fine."
