    Are you just dying to talk about the crazy movie with a pastor who can kung fu fight and turn into a dinosaur? No? Oh... Well shit, that's what this episode is about.

  • National Treasure - Going on an Adventure! - with Master And Debaters

    National Treasure truly is a national treasure. It's Nicolas Cage at his best and adventure at its most absurdly cool.

    We're joined by the smooth talking Spencer Nipple from the hilarious show Master and Debaters to talk about another one of our favorite adventure movies.

    What are the Masons hiding beneath the streets of our cities?  Why is Albuquerque the greatest city in the world? How fun could American history be without all those uncomfortable real world facts?

  • Violent Night - Heartwarming and Drenched in Blood - Jinglecember Spectacular

    This is that fun movie that nobody has seen, and you can introduce it to your friends, then when you watch it together they'll go "Oh wow how have I never seen this before, it's great!"

    It's heartwarming and drenched in blood. It's innocent and insane. It's best watched with friends and liquor. 

    It's Violent Night.
