  • Episode 57: Fear Inoculum and Green Naugahyde

    You know the definition of an ear worm? That song you can't help but get stuck in your head? This episode isn't really like that. It's more of something you hear once, nod along with, and then feel ok with only going back to like once every 2 years. So, you know, pretty good. Well, Arthur and Mike discuss studio albums by bands that waited more than 10 years to put it out.

    Another month in quarantine? How about another episode to

    father-son-actor-turned-director-duo in a slight nod to Father’s Day. Get ready
