UFO Dreams

It's a True Romance

This week, the Brothers come in hot with a big, swaggering episode that ricochets from cult cinema to Colombian hotels to church‑side chaos. They break down the sun‑bleached grit of True Romance, dive into the Foo Fighters' horror‑comedy fever dream Studio 666, and unpack what exactly makes a 4‑star hotel in Bogotá feel like a gamble. From there, things get spiritual — or sacrilegious — with a story about swearing in church and a eulogy so good the priest wants to use it as next week's homily. The episode closes with a sharp, grounded look at how media is being reshaped in the Trump era — no predictions, just perspective. A funny, profane, and surprisingly heartfelt ride and just wait until they start throwing podcasters into jail. Be a mensch and tell a friend.

Slinging Drinks and Barbarians

Short week. Talking bartending and the Las Vegas heat. Going back into the way back machine, episode #7, "Barbarians." Be a mensch and tell a friend. See you back next week at our normal time.

London Crawling

Welcome to Jolly Ole England! Brother Ben braved the Atlantic and visited our English cousins. It was a fantastic trip, filled with museums, galleries, Chartwell, and a race riot outside his hotel room in Covent Garden. Ben shares his adventures while Brother Patrick grills him on everything from food, gals, entertainment, and where to get a decent cheesesteak. Ben chats about the British Museum, Tower of London, and St. Paul's. Incredible trip marred by a couple of MAGA trolls (about 80,000 of them). Fortunately, it'll take more than a couple of toothless wonders to spoil a trip of a lifetime. BONUS: Ben spent a day in Paris taking in the sights. He's jetlagged and so is this show summary. Be a mensch and tell a friend. Like, share, leave a review and a couple of stars. Bullet Train Awards (BTA) are coming 9 July 2026.

Desperado

Penelope! Telemachus! Calypso! Ever wanted to hear Brother Ben sicker than a dog? Well, you're in luck because you've just downloaded the latest and greatest episode of the Brothers Raskin. Ben kicks things off with a thanks to all Mothers, including his beloved MIL. Brother Patrick joins suit and is grateful for the ladies in his life. The Boys ramble about this and that but land on gambling back in Las Vegas and the closing of the iconic Buffalo Bill's Hotel and Casino at Primm, Nevada. The fellas chat about the insane (absolutely insane) rollercoaster, Desperado, and why you'd need to be on trucker speed to enjoy this death trap. Patrick pivots to Christopher Nolan's upcoming movie, The Odyssey. The Brother rank Nolan's work and discuss the significance of World War II in both "Dunkirk" and "Oppenheimer." Ben throws out a couple of ideas for his next project and they chat about life in Yalta. Be a mensch and tell a friend. Share the podcast with a buddy and help spread the good word.

Daddy Beats Bubbles

Colman! F-ing! Domingo! Daddy is back! Brother Ben starts the show thanking the crew for the birthday love. 53 spins around the Sun is no laughing matter but somehow, his friends and family made it an incredible day. Brother Patrick digs into the difference between a half marathon and a full 10K. It's really simple math: a full is bigger than a half. The Brothers talk Bullet Train Awards. It's going to be episode #200. That sucker will drop on 9 July 2026. Call your mom and tell her we'll say hi. There's a post mortem on the Utah Mammoth and strong words for the Vegas Golden Knights. Movies gonna movie and the fellas dig into the new Running Man with the super-hot Glen Powell. SPOILER: It's a complete and utter mess and probably the best flick of the year. Both Brothers absolutely loved it. Even with all it's shortcomings, it stars Glen Powell. Taking the remake energy, the Brothers go through a bunch of films that could use a spruce up. And yes, you'll hear about Brewster's Millions. Also, did somebody say "Slaughter?" Be a mensch and tell a friend. Like, subscribe, share, and leave a review.
