30 Seconds Flat

This episode is ON FIRE! Not literally, but Shawn's actual HOUSE WAS REALLY ON FIRE. Did he and his family live to tell the tale? You'll have to listen to find out. (Spoilers: they're alive.) Oh, we also spend some time talking about an excellent Heist film from South Korea, gossip about Heat 2, and compare some racy Vegas stories...

The hiatus is officially over! Chris and Shawn return from an extra-long break with an extra-long episode on the zany '60s classic Topkapi, chock full of wild new voice impressions and even wilder new digressions. Topics include: mid-flight film viewer etiquette, being a "wife guy", a sentient bidet, a very special fan of the show, and Shawn's healthy admiration for Amsterdam's red light district...

Chris and Shawn prove their non-manliness by failing to click with recent bro-tastic Heat homage, Den of Thieves -- but they both have some surprising stories about firearms to win back their manly (mainly) listeners. Plus Shawn's wife helps him out with his fan expo costume!

A War film that is secretly a Heist film leads to a Heist podcast that is secretly a War podcast! Topics include: Josef Goebbels the rapper, real life heroes of the Dunkirk evacuation, "testosterone autism", and whether or not we can make our listeners cry...

Pack yourself a crudely-made cucumber sandwich, a plate of meat, and five beers from Trinidad -- only then can you concentrate on your knowledge of Wagner while Robot Zombies try to bite you. The question is: "Are safes sexy?" Army of Thieves dares to answer: "Yes, if you're a German nerd..."

... in which one of the hosts consumes an entire bottle of red wine and rants about Scientology to a degree that just might get the entire podcast taken off of the internet forever. (But the stunt work is excellent!)

The good news is that this is one of our best episodes, funny and smart and relaxed and cozy in equal measure. The bad news is that you will have to register as a sex offender after you listen to it, and warn all of your neighbors you're a fan of the show. (But there's no such thing as bad publicity!)

Also, this episode about a kids' movie is the one where Chris was too lazy to edit out the swearing -- go figure!

Chris' radio show: on hiatus!

Our first live stream episode! We present it here to you unedited so you can use it as an audio commentary track to accompany the movie, which may just be the greatest 3D Israeli-funded 1980s Heist film ever made...

Check out the movie here before it gets taken down:

Topics include: pornography, the history of 3D movies, porn, North Korean cinema, and the surprising parallels between 3D and another notorious form of exploitation filmmaking (porno)

We shrank ourselves down to tiny size and committed a series of heists, but now we are BACK to podcasting, baby! What better way to celebrate our return than with Ant-Man? Topics discussed include: young Shawn's healthy relationship with comic books, middle-aged Chris's film snobbery, the movie's many screenwriters, and the subtleties of a South African accent...
