Writer Alex Kane (@alexjkane) joins me on the show this week for a discussion about his book Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic. It's an in depth oral history of the classic and beloved game and you can get it right now! from Boss Fight Books. We also talk everything Star Wars, the Halo video games, the Coen Brothers, the Alien movies, our love of sci-fi and more. If I don't do a big five year anniversary episode this month, I'll do it next month. Thank you for listening for the last five years.

My friend Ian Kimble (@iguessian) from Shoestring Gold Films is back. The movie Dead Giveaway that we made together two years ago is premiering at the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival on May 10th. We talk about shooting the movie, our dumb lives, First Man, Elizabeth Holmes, Her Smell, scammers and more. All the while Ian plays Spider-Man on PS4. It's thrilling

Friend of the show @HeIsMaxBarth to talk about his band Jackson Moe, how fucked up American politics and 2020 are, living in Philadelphia, and how great the movie Walk Hard is.

Carrie Wittmer (@carriesnotscary) returns to end the terrible, long, stupid year of 2018. She has a new book called New Erotica For Feminists: Satirical Fantasies of Love, Lust and Equal Pay that you can and should buy now. We talk about how our favorite movies and tv of 2018 including The Favourite, Widows, not watching Amazon's The Romanoffs, The Americans, Into The Spider-Verse and much more. We all made it through another terrible year and we are all stronger and weirder for it. Thank you so much for listening. Watch Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story with your family. See you in 2019.

Taking the month of October as easy as possible, apologies. Lots coming in November. TJ Wells joins me to talk about A Star Is Born, Venom, The Sisters Brothers, The Old Man & The Gun, Lodge 49, Sharon Van Etten, Kurt Vile, The Rider and more. Also I find out that Wyatt Russell is Kurt Russell's son, and I am very delighted by this revelation.

I recorded this episode once with my friend Luke but then it got annihilated by my computer. Then I recorded it in two halves with my friend TJ, but the second half got annihilated by my computer again. I recorded a second half with Luke and it finally made it all the way. We talk about Forever, Searching, Support The Girls, The Good Place, American Vandal, BoJack Horseman, Maniac on Netflix which I think is a masterpiece, and much more. It's been a long month, thank you for your patience.

This week I am joined by Carrie Wittmer, a comedian and television/entertainment reporter. We get to know each other, talk about the MCU and Paddington 2, the fantastic new Mitski album BE THE COWBOY and more. Then Carrie and I dissect Halt and Catch Fire, an underrated show that we both love dearly. If you have seen the show this episode is for you. If you haven't seen the show maybe this episode will make you want to start it! All four season are available on Netflix and it is one of the very best there is.

Carrie has a book called NEW EROTICA FOR FEMINISTS coming out on November 13th. She is on Twitter @Carriesnotscary.
