BALLOON JUICE!

KRISTEN STEWART wants into the MCU. Calvin explains why this is a bad idea. EDMONTON EXPO is this weekend and Calvin will be there! Represent! Calvin also tells the story of nearly being killed by a family of DRUNK DEER. We also talk about what it's like to live in small-town Canada surrounded by deer hunters. It's a chilling tale of horror and not for the squeamish or faint of heart!

From way back in August this episode features Calvin's review of HOBBES & SHAW, Calvin is convinced he has transitioned to an alternate universe, one that didn't have crazy far right politics and yet another mass shooting. Calvin and M.D. try to figure it all out. Party politics, tribalism and an ABC After School special called THE WAVE. Calvin remembers the Canadian television series WONDERFALLS. All this plus THE FRIENDLY GIANT!

The MCU is moving into Phase 4. We talk about what it all means, what we think will happen and what we hope will happen. Calvin also goes on at length about MILLIE BOBBIE BROWN's lack of acting chops. And along the way we visit a Farmer's Market in Red Deer. Alberta. It's all fun and games until someone casts Millie Bobbie Brown! 

PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE! Do you remember the 1974 Brian DePalma horror rock opera? We do! And we talk about why it and its compser, Paul Williams were so fantastic. Also a list of overrated movies. Some will come as no surprise but some will surprise you. Also Calvin talks about his completely unexpected trip to his local emergency room on his birthday, of all days! All this plus our usual shenanigans at THIS WEEK FROM THE CAVE OF COOL! 

Calvin reviews X:MEN: DARK PHOENIX and we compare and contrast the various adaptations of X-Men's Dark Phoenix Saga. Plus why the universe is better with Keanu Reeves in it. From BILL & TED and HAMLET to THE MATRIX and JOHN WICK, we review Keanu Reeve's career and where he could fit into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and how he could probably save the world. 

SHOT TO THE FACE! In which our hero, Cal, tells the harrowing story of violence in RED DEER involving car chases, gunplay and frightened children in peril! Calvin also tells the story of how he found a dead body while drunk on a boat. All this plus the usual shenanigans! If you only listen to one podcast THIS IS THE ONE! 

 FANBOYS BE TRIPPIN'! In which our heroes, Cal and M.D., talk about all the things that are driving fanboys crazy from the Ruby Rose BATWOMAN trailer to the final episodes of GAME OF THRONES (The bells! WHO RANG THE GODDAMNED BELLS!). The fanboy's pain is delicious to Cal and their howls of outrage make for one great podcast! We also talk about cats as well as BONEY M and unfortunate names. All this plus the usual CAVE OF COOL hijinx make for solid gold listening! 

We've waited long enough! Our heroes, Cal and MD, review Avengers: Endgame! This episode is full of spoilers and, of course, our usual keen insights and the usual mirth, mayhem and hilarity!
