  • Episode 67: Priest and Priest: A Love Story

    That's the kicker, as they say, there was nothing even in the hamper. Oh, hey! It's a new episode of the pod. Liz and Mike tackle some media with the same title and really flex that explicit rating this time. Not for the faint of heart or people who blindly like all Paul Bettany movies.

  • Episode 66: Live Nassau Coliseum '76 and Graduation Day 1966: Live at the University of Michigan

    They were out of printer ink. It took me by surprise, and they shrugged it off. Supply chains, amiright?

    Dan and Mike get in there to discuss live albums. An exploration ensues that is good. And at some point Dan says, "Sleeveless Ts are a must."

    Enjoy!

  • Episode 63: Rhinestone and Romancing the Stone

    I cleaned it up, but we're really going to need to get that scrubber in there. Oh, here's another quality episode. Megan and Mike experience both wonder and terror as they wallow in 2 films about odd couples. But it's good.

  • Episode 62: Weekend at Bernie's II and Staying Alive

    The dog brought it in. It wasn't moving or anything when he brought it in. Oh, hey there. Dan and Mike indulge in the mental Olympics of deciding which movie sequel is better. Some quality recommendations and snack segment to follow.

  • Episode 61: Weekend at Bernie's and Lady in the Water

    He didn't give me a receipt. Well, I didn't think I would need to return it. It's certainly too late, now. Hey there! Welcome to year 6 of the pod! Bob and Mike experience 2 films with twists in them, and they are not prepared. Not necessarily shocks, but definitely astonishment ensues.
