About
What Is Sadistic Penguin Studios?
We’re a bunch of pop-culture junkies who live and breathe movies, music, wrestling, sports, and everything in between. Around here, it’s all about sharing the stuff we love, roasting the stuff we don’t, and laughing our way through the chaos.
But it’s not just jokes and hot takes — we actually give a damn. We use our little corner of the internet to stand up for what’s right, support good causes, and build a community that’s equal parts weird, loud, and welcoming.
So pull up a chair, grab a drink, and join the flock. Let’s talk, laugh, rant, and make some noise together.
Meet Your Hosts
At The Show
Yumper is a family man, movie buff, maker of crazy gifs, and video game lover.
Yumper is also a lover of the culinary arts, meaning he loves to eat good food, especially tacos! Never a person to shy away from his opinion about movies, Yumper still stands by his beliefs that Encanto and Halloween Kills are terrible!
It's Getting Drafty In Here
It’s Getting Drafty In Here host Magnificent Stan, is an avid lover of all things White Sox and professional wrestling. Whether it’s discussing Rick Hahn’s brilliance (or lack thereof) or whether the Montreal Screwjob was legit, he’s always up for a heated debate.
He enjoys spending his days working on his midlife crisis, which includes collecting random crap – vinyl records, Funko pops and wresting action figures. He loves the Macho Man, hates The Crow and has been told he’s a next-level hugger. And for some odd reason, his wife loves him
The Hook Up On Music
The Hook Up On Music host The Sugar Baggy gives us insight on what made him a Music Fan: “Music has always been a huge part of my life. At a very young age, my Dad exposed me to all different kinds of music and bands. From Led Zeppelin to Brian Ferry, he showed me a wide range of songs. At that time, I didn’t always appreciate the funky stuff. As I got older and learned more, I realized that those artists were the real deal.”
“Music is my passion and my weapon for life. It has gotten me through some dark times in my life, as well as the good. It has the magic to transport you back in time and pretend you’re in a different decade, even just for two minutes. Over the years, I have stumbled upon music or bands I would never have been caught listening to when I was 12. XTC? Bruce Springsteen? Love them both equally. Music will always be a part of me and I hope to share what I’ve learned and what I love with others.
Writers
A “man” who values the Muppets as much as he does Casablanca, Adam’s film interests are as diverse as his collection of defunct stadium shirts. Besides film, dating back as far as the early 1900’s, his passion for the White Sox, Bears, Bulls, Notre Dame football and Indiana basketball runs his life and often moods on a daily basis. He also enjoys writing from time to time. When he’s not discussing James Bond films on YouTube with Tony, you can catch him on X (@adamisabsurd34), Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky (@agurvs34.bsky.social)
Michael Cotton is a writer, podcaster, and semi-professional opinion haver. He is the author of Going North to the Pole, available on Amazon, about two kids going to see Santa Claus. He has also written the Bleacher Bum Bible Book, also on Amazon, which may just be the greatest shitter book ever written.
He lives in Iowa with his wife and two children and is an avid Cubs and Hawkeye Women’s basketball team and a less avid fan of Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks, Golden State Valkyries, Fever, Chicago Red Stars, and the Unrivaled Women’s Basketball League. Find him on Bluesky @CubesFan, and on YouTube as part of the Bleacher Bunch.
