Mike, Amanda and Dante are back for some good ol' fashioned hard-nerding. Now, before you listen, you should know that there's a bit of an audio issue at the beginning. Due to some unfortunate recording settings, the first few minutes of audio are very, very low in volume, while the intro music is the normal volume. So don't crank it up and then blow your ears out, please! A few minutes into the show, this is corrected and stays consistent throughout. Sorry, guys - this happens sometimes.

Volume troubles aside, this is a fantastic episode, andI know you'll enjoy it just as much as I did! And if you have any thoughts of your own, let us know via email ([email protected]), Twitter (@crosstawk, @StrikerObi, @supinternets and @theothernorbit) or in the comments section on the site!

Come back in a couple days for Discover Music Project!

Back again, the crew here at USS Box Office Poison is ready to roll! In the first segment, the guys discuss Drive, 50/50, Moneyball, Conan O'Brien Can't Stop and even a little movie called My Girlfriend's Boyfriend.

Then, in the second segment, Trailer Trash is back, and we talk about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, J Edgar, The Rum Diary and close it up with In Time.

Got a trailer you want us to talk about? Let us know via email ([email protected]), Twitter (@crosstawk) and in the comments section on the site.

See you guys on Tuesday for a new episode of Hardcore Nerdography and again next Friday for a new DMP!

It's the eve of iOS 5, and iPhone 4S is just about to hit the market, so we thought it'd be fun to give our take on the new hardware (or lack thereof) as well as the latest release of Apple's mobile OS. And to do that, we had to bring in a rather large crew. Aside from myself, there's Jonathan Metts and Andy Goergen, Grant Buell and Mike Sklens. All of our opinions were slightly different, so I think we had the full spectrum of reactions.

Want to let us know your thoughts? Let us know via email ([email protected]), Twitter (@crosstawk) or on the site. As for the other guys, you can follow them on Twitter as follows: @DrewMG (Andy), @grantbuell (Grant), @jonnymetts (Jonny) and @StrikerObi (Mike).

Thanks for listening, everyone. We'll see you in a few days for a new Box Office Poison!

Another friend makes his podcast debut: Taylor Hill, Jonny's former college roommate and travel companion, joins DMP to share his love of Van Morrison. After hearing these songs, you too will be a fan of the legendary Northern Irish troubadour. Van's music is mysterious, magnetic, and almost always catchy. His skill at arranging strings and horns for pop music is perhaps rivaled only by Stevie Wonder. If you've only heard "Brown-Eyed Girl", prepare to be blown away! Here's the set list:

1. Gloria (Them)

2. Baby Please Don't Go (Them)

3. Astral Weeks (Astral Weeks)

4. Cry For Home feat. Tom Jones (The Best of Van Morrison, Vol. 3)

5. Days Like This (Days Like This)

6. Caravan (Moondance)

7. St. Dominic's Preview (St. Dominic's Preview)

8. Redwood Tree (St. Dominic's Preview)

9. Bright Side of the Road (Into the Music)

10. Sweet Thing (Astral Weeks)

11. Wild Night (Tupelo Honey)

Encore:

Patti Smith - ??? (You'll have to listen to find out!)

As always, we'd love to hear your feedback and show ideas -- just email [email protected] or leave a comment on the Crosstawk.com website.

One day late, perhaps, but still packing quite a punch! First off, Jon Rind has graciously accepted the prestigious position of Regular Cast Member, and will be joining us for every BOP from here on out! Secondly, since Mike couldn't make it for the first segment, his girlfriend Amanda joined in. You'll, of course, know her from various appearances on Rough Draught as well as the regular co-host on Hardcore Nerdography.

In the first segment, there's plenty to discuss, from Drive to Contagion to Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives. We even get into some super hero movies, too. And I believe Stan watched another ridiculously bad movie for Agony Booth, so there's plenty of that kind of talk as well.

After the break Mike jumps in for Amanda to jabber about our Movie of the Month: Stan's pick, The Great Silence. Did we all love the spaghetti western, or did it feel too dated and badly-dubbed? You'll have to listen in to find out.

For those of you who like to play along, next month is my pick: In Bruges.

If you've got some thoughts of your own, or if you'd like to ask us something, let us know via email ([email protected], Twitter (@crosstawk) or in the comments section on the site. It may end up in an upcoming listener mail segment! And when you're done there, go on over to iTunes and leave us a review. It's how people find the show, and I know I speak for the whole crew when I say we'd all really appreciate it.

Thanks for listening, guys! We'll see you next week for a brand new episode of Discover Music Project!

It's finally here! After months of promises being broken, Gus and I have finally gotten together with Jonny Metts to discuss the moneygrabbing crossover that basically invented moneygrabbing crossovers: Marvel's 1984 series, Secret Wars! Listen in as we discuss the wonders of the Beyonder, the patchwork planet and all of those crazy costumes!

Have some thoughts of your own on Secret Wars? Want to suggest a topic for the next show? Let us know via email ([email protected]), Twitter (@crosstawk) or in the comments section on the site!

Thanks for listening, everyone! See ya in a couple days for the next episode of Box Office Poison!

Jonny and Ryan are back -- this time, in contrast to the Canadian rock of last episode, we're going All-American with the Allman Bros. Band. Their legendary fusion of rock, blues, country, and even jazz means there should be something for everyone in this podcast. Here's the setlist:

1. Whipping Post (The Allman Brothers Band)

2. Midnight Rider (Idlewild South)

3. Statesboro Blues (At Fillmore East)

4. Blue Sky (Eat a Peach)

5. Melissa (Eat a Peach)

6. Rambling Man (Brothers and Sisters)

7. Jessica (Brothers and Sisters)

8. In Memory of Elizabeth Reed (At Fillmore East)

ENCORE:

The Band - "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down"

Hello there, and welcome to the first ever BI-WEEKLY episode of Box Office Poison. This time, unfortunately, Stan couldn't make it, so Jonny, Mike and I brought in Jon Rind to discuss some great movies in the first segment. In the second segment, we're trying something new with Trailer Trash, in which we go over trailers for upcoming movies. This month, it's Drive, 50/50, Real Steel and, of course, Footloose. Listen in and tell us what you think!

Have some thoughts to share? Let us know via email ([email protected]), Twitter (@crosstawk) or in the comments section on the site. And come back in two weeks when we talk about our Movie of the Month, The Great Silence.

And before I forget! iTunes reviews. Write them. Or there's no Christmas this year. For real.

Hey, folks!

So today will mark the 100th release from Crosstawk.com. It's amazing to see how far we've come since the first episode of Rough Draught debuted in June of 2010, and I'm really excited for what we've got cooking going forward. But to commemerate this special occasion, I figured I'd release a classic from the TAWK-112 days that, up until now, had gone unreleased for being a little too hot for TV. It was recorded almost three years ago on my 20th birthday in Tallahassee, and stars not only the full TAWK crew, but more than a few guest voices. I'll let you discover it on your own, but if you're a fan of drunk podcasting, well, you're in for a treat.

Thanks so much for supporting us throughout these first hundred episodes, guys! We really appreciate it. Here's to a hundred more!
