Crosstawk

Box Office Poison returns with this special bonus episode all about our favorite flicks of 2010. Stan unfortunately couldn't participate, so we got our good buddy Jon Rind to step in for him. And with all four of us sharing our five favorite movies, not to mention a few honorable mentions, there are a whole lot of films covered. But to find out which, you'll just have to listen!

What were your Top 5 for 2010? Send 'em on over to us via email ([email protected]), Twitter (@crosstawk) or in the comments section on the website. And while you're at it, head on over to iTunes and leave us a review - we could always use more of those.

All right, guys, thanks for listening. See you tomorrow for a new episode of Crosstawk Comics guest starring Neal Ronaghan!

It's Tuesday, January 25th, and that means a new episode of Crosstawk Sports, the latest and greatest in the world on the field! On this episode, Spencer, Ben and Jesse dive into some Super Bowl talk before getting pretty heated during a discussion on the NBA. We've also got a brand new feature on the show: Lost in the Shuffle, wherein Jesse opens a brand new pack of baseball cards.

All righty, folks, we'll see you on Thursday for a very special episode of Box Office Poison!

Stan returns for yet another episode of our mini mammoth, How to Liberal. This week, Stan takes on libertarians. So something something Ron Paul something something? Of course, the views and ideals expressed in this episode, as well as all of How to Liberal, do not reflect those of Crosstawk.com or its various pundits. So if you want to kill somebody, please, people, remember that I am FOR your crazy opinions, no matter their craziness (they're probably crazy).

Did I say crazy enough times?

Thanks for listening, guys - see you tomorrow for a new episode of Crosstawk Sports!

BOP returns for its first episode of 2011! Oddly enough, though, all of their movies are from 2010. Jonny, Karl, Mike and Stan discuss 127 Hours, True Grit, TRON Legacy and even get into the practicality of Superman '79. Then, during the Movie of the Month segment, the crew shares their opnions on Monsoon Wedding, a flick that could probably best be described as a darker, Indian Love Actually.

Come back next month when our movie will be Terry Zwigoff's documentary Crumb.

As always, if you have any thoughts, concerns or queries, send 'em on over to us via email ([email protected]), Twitter (@crosstawk) or in the comments section on the website.

Thanks for listening, folks. How to Liberal came in a little late this week, so it'll actually be going up tomorrow. See you then!

Folks, it's been a long while since TAWK-112 ended (close to two years, actually), and while we've had re-runs here and there, and even had Casper on the second episode of this very program, nothing has come close to matching the feel of the show that started it all. Well, Rough Draught: Episode 7 is about as close as it gets. Michael Casper guests this week to share some drunk tales, review some beers and make my editing life a living hell. The last fifteen minutes of this show can best be described as a beautiful trainwreck. Some of you will love it and others will hate it, but I doubt there'll be any middle-ground.

At least I bleeped all of the names...

But! There's still beer to drink, and this week we'll be tasting: Stone Levitation Ale, St. Peters IPA, Daleside Monkey Wrench, Coney Island Albino Python, Ommegang Rare Vos and, ultimately, we sort of skirt around Tommyknocker Butt Head Dopplebock.

As always, if you've got any thoughts, questions or concerns (and I think there might be a few for this episode), you can send 'em over to us via email ([email protected]), Twitter (@crosstawk) or in the comments section on the website.

Well, that's that, folks. See you next week for Discover Music Project, How to Liberal and Box Office Poison!

The boys of Crosstawk Sports are back in the same room to give you the latest and greatest in the world on the field! In their first episode of 2011, Spencer, Ben and Jesse get down and dirty with their post-BCS thoughts. A few too many may have been inbibed, so just keep that in mind. Also on this episode: NFL, NBA and MLB talk.

With all of that being said, we'll see you on Friday for a brand new Rough Draught!

Mike, Amanda and Dante return for more Hardcore! On today's episode, the gang gets into sex ed in the South, Carl Sagan (who would've guessed?), some listener feedback, beer elitism and a whole lot more. There might even be some talk of lilly pads that look like vaginas - you'll just have to listen in for yourself to find out.

Also during the show, there's an open call put out to the ladies (and perhaps interested men) of the world - do you want a magical evening of sarcasm and cynicism? If so, email [email protected] and put in the subject header: "I Want to Date Dante." You can also email whatever else you'd like, but I'll be damned if I'm not looking forward to reading those letters. You can also let us know what you think via Twitter (@crosstawk) and in the comments section of the website.

If you haven't yet, be sure to check out Jonathan Rind's new recap series, Path of the Raging Boll, available only on Crosstawk.com!

Another week in the can, folks! 2011's started in style, but we're only just beginning. Come back on Tuesday when the Tally crew reunites for Crosstawk Sports, and again on Friday when Gus and I hang out with Neal from the NWR Newscast for an awesome episode of Crosstawk Comics!

Today on How to Liberal, Stan takes on creationists!
