Back in 2016, Tim was the tinny host of of a weekly podcast entitled MANIC FILM-MAKER. Never heard of it? Yeah, its been pretty wiped from the web but, thanks to the digital excavation of an old hard drive, we've managed to unearth a particular episode from March 3rd of that year. Why would this four year old audio be of any interest? Well it happens to represent the first time Bob and Tim recorded together in a streamable format. So what follows today, is the sole recorded record of that fateful conversation. Its like that treasure map from the Goonies ... tempered with a little Al Capone’s vault.

This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

This week's thrilling installment finds our intrepid hosts venturing once more into the cinematic breach. But make note, this is no mere screening of Hot To Trot. These are the celluloid extravaganzas perpetually displayed across big screens, VHS, possibly laser disc and definitely a free cable weekend. But how many times? Do they still watch them? And why do we care? Best to ignore that last one as you embark on the first chapter of an epic two part episode (editor's note: the use of "epic" is HYPERBOLE!).

Remember when Bob and Tim discussed When Harry Met Sally? Who would’ve thought that three years later they’d be seated in a two shot relating that very episode. So reminisce like it was whenever by re-streaming that conversation today. And, while you're at it, fake an orgasm.

EFFIN’ SPOILERS: “Totalitarian Dad jokes made all to easy.” (1980) Last Thursday marked the 40th anniversary of the greatest sci-fi spectacle that isn’t Leprechaun 4. And in celebration, Bob and Tim are talking plot elements that would have been unexpected prior to Star Wars becoming STAR WARS EXCLAMATION POINT. So here's hoping you've seen The Empire Strikes Back. Otherwise, scan to the end of that VHS as they’re probably going to spoiler that one reveal.

“Wait," you might be saying, “didn’t this new podcast already premiere last week?” Well, one DID, but this one is different. “Oh,” you might be following up, “so its that one where he just talks about the Replacements?” Ah… no, that one crashed and burned. THIS one is called INEXPLICABLE BOOKCLUB and it follows Tim and co-host Chis Nicini as they explore classic writings on the paranormal, the extraterrestrial and the overall inexplicable. And, prior to its June 9th premiere, they're sitting down to discuss why these books had such an impact on their childhood. Its sort of like 20th Century Pop… only with g-g-g-ghosts … instead of g-g-g-Growing Pains.

INEXPLICABLE BOOKCLUB premieres Tuesday June 9th on APPLE PODCASTS, STITCHER, SPOTIFY and www.nahpods.com. Stream and subscribe for a new episode every month and follow the show on INSTAGRAM @ixpbookclub

COMPACT DISCUSSION: “If you find a full length song in there, feel free to play it.“ (1995) The reason today’s podcast is going up late is there are 28 tracks on this freakin' cd.  Not that Bob and Tim are complaining as they are both fans of indie royalty Guided By Voices, specifically their 1995 album “’Alien Lanes.”  So, as per the format of their reoccurring segment “Compact DiscUssion” they are chatting up EVERY track on the album . Which is 28. Of varying ... ahm.. lyrical content and... musical ... well ... experimentation ...with... you know, drums.. and … one track with strings... ugh... maybe next time just dive in that Lou Grahm cassingle Tim mentions at the end.  Thanks for your patience.

So here’s what it sounds like when an episode goes up without editing. Well… there’s an unlicensed audio clip at the beginning and some intro music that fades out but, beyond those remedial feats, this is a pretty good demo on why they never just turn on the mic and talk. Its a rambling mess with some sincerity to boot as Tim offers a bonus look behind the audio curtain of what it means to podcast, what happened to his proposed replacements show and… maybe … why its better when Bob’s here. It’s Tim’s Pump Up The Volume audition reel … for the first time!
