About this season
After Hours is the fullest expression of what Cracked does best: dissect the minutiae of pop culture for comedy. In the Webby-award-winning monthly show, Cracked Staffers sit around at a diner way too late at night (and for way too long) and argue over a variety of topics ranging from which fictional apocalypse would be the most fun to why Batman might secretly be terrible for Gotham. Down some coffee and join us as we obsess over movies, comics, TV shows and more forever.
