Coming up next on the Botch, a whole new schedule!

MONDAY - We open the doors of Botchbuster Video, where subscribers bring trailers to us and we each "rent" one of the movies to watch on a Wednesday night later that month! Then, from what's left, chat votes on a movie to watch that night. It's like the old days when your group of friends went to the video store together, only this time maybe YOUR choice will get picked! 8pm

TUESDAY - It's American Gladiators night on Obsessions, but since we just wrapped up season six, we take a wee break to watch the new Siren documentary and find out more about our favorite Gladiator's ups and downs. It will not be funny, but if you rode the Gladiator train with us all these years, it's a good time to bond together. Special new start time of 7pm!

WEDNESDAY - Aaron's first up on Botchbuster Nights, showing whichever subscriber movie he rented on Monday. 9:30pm.

Botch Party gets ready for big change this week....

MONDAY - The finals of the season six tournament bring a close to the classic show's not-weird era. Everything after this is bonkers. Say goodbye with us at 8pm.

TUESDAY - Aaron brings us a genuine good time with this cult action movie comedy that comes from somewhere even farther out than left field. 8pm.

WEDNESDAY - Our final Secret Satan? We take one more spin at the wheel of random media before we juggle up our schedule starting in October. 9:30pm.

Grrrrrl powrrrr this week on the Botch...

MONDAY - We finally arrive at the season-ending mini-tournament for Gladiators, which means we've only got a few episodes left with Zap! 8pm.

TUESDAY - Amanda Bynes gets her own Princess Diary (she writes nothing down) when she finds out Colin Firth is her daddy (biological) in this either forgotten or beloved 2000s comedy, depending on your demographic. Ashley explains it all at 8pm.

WEDNESDAY - The Salt Wives are back! We're going to follow the latest season from a safe distance with chaperones Dylan and Ralphie. 9:30pm.

If you only see one movie with Wicker in its name this Halloween ... well, please see two. This will be an absolute blast to mess around with. Mark that live show calendar, Botchies! It's Nic's debut!

This week is all about challenges...

MONDAY - Our final four randos before we get into the abbreviated tournament part of Season 6 on AMERICAN GLADIATORS. Join us at 8pm.

WEDNESDAY - Adam brings back the '90s hits of afternoon horror for SPOOKILY DOOKILY, 9:30 pm. Can you survive the scares?
