Should We Keep This?

We’re wrapping up the aughts with a bet sandwich! We’ll look at the predictions we made for the media we consumed this decade, and make new predictions about the decade to come. For the first time ever, Gina wins something! But who will win the most tense trivia battle yet? You may be surprised. It’s all very Trans-Neptunian.

Roll up those sleeves (even though you’re not supposed to) and put on your best belly shirt, because this week we’re talking about Avatar (top grossing) and The Hurt Locker (Best Picture).  Join Gina and Steven as we pick apart “unobtanium,” expound on the ridiculousness of cereal choices, and invent something called Manifest Underwear. This podcast is produced by Rock Rising.

We’re taking you to the big cities of Gotham and Mumbai this week with The Dark Knight (top grossing) and Slumdog Millionaire (Best Picture). Join Steven and Gina as we take a hard look at the morality of vigilante justice and whether or not a fairy tale ending negates a movie’s challenging themes. It’s not the podcast you need, but it’s the podcast you deserve. Or...is it the other way around?

We couldn’t get enough pirates last time, so this week we’re at it again with Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (top grossing) and No Country for Old Men (Best Picture). Join us as we take a hard look at some very not-cool violence, discuss why getting married in the middle of a swordfight on a ship is not a great idea, and analyze Javier Bardem’s distinctive haircut. Oh, and everyone needs to stop kissing Keira Knightley. Seriously. This podcast is produced by Rock Rising.

Release the kraken! This week we’re talking about Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest (top grossing) and The Departed (Best Picture). We explore the speed and reliability of sea travel, the challenge of assembling a three-piece suit, and Steven’s very aggressive Boston accent. How many years of servitude would you wager for this podcast?
