EP60 - The Platonic Love Corner

In this freeform episode, we go on wild tangents (surprising no one). We discuss everything from the settling of the Americas to social media's impact on business to space exploration before finally settling on archetypal masculine and femine stories. Also, Erin spits fire.

Ep59 - Strip Mined Heroes

I've been thinking thoughts. So instead of reviewing a movie, Erin & I wax philosophical about the entertainment business. What decisions lead to poor quality productions? How does a publication decide on their target audience?

Ep58 - Bad Boys 4: The Black & The Furious

We watched Bad Boys 4 and it was great! Dad TV at it's finest. It out fasted & out furioused the Fast & the Furious. ...and if you've been listening, we love the Fast & the Furious... Join us on the caper. I will even sing the bad boys song :D

Ep57 - Yes Man: The Cure for Loneliness

Don't be a no man, be a yes man...but don't yes too hard. In this episode, we discuss the grimdark comedy, Yes! Man. And in so doing, we uncover the way this movie is thematically well constructed.  Hidden beneath it all, this 2008 wierdfest is remarkably relevant nearly fifteen  years later.

Ep56 - Spiderman: A Grimdark Tragedy

Yes, you read that right. Your friendly neighborhood Spiderman is a tale of woe, worse even than Romiette and Julio. We continue down our grimdark path as we analyze the 2002 Spiderman movie in all its tragic detail.
