Good Looking Out

Chuck Palahniuk said "It's easy to cry once you realize that everyone you love will either reject you or die". We do not however need this kind of motivation, in fact it turns out we cry pretty easily. This episode we talk about the stuff that, without exception, every time you hear, watch, read, whatever; turn on the waterworks. Dinosaur Jr, Slingblade, The Incredibles, T.S. Eliot, Paris, Texas and Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson all get some time here. 

Documentaries, but not just films. Hitting the mics hard for the nerds here with true accounts that have changed our lives. Be it a film, book, collection of music or otherwise, we take a look at chronicles that altered the path for us. Eric introduces a new segment, that without question, was devised to embarrass his co-host, so that's nice too, who doesn't love to see someone make an ass of themselves? It's why we're here.

Catching up a bit here on a mix of stuff since we spoke last. Not surprisingly, all over the shop from Showtime series, to Pablo Neruda to cartoons. 

Here she blows, another stumpisode. Looking to make fools out of each other for all the killer shit one knows and the other doesn't. This episode, the best stuff streaming on Netflix that the other hasn't seen. Enjoy!

Back to our roots, talking about new stuff that we think everyone should be checking out. Not surprisingly, True Detective gets a fair amount of attention, then some new streaming services, new TV stuff, etc. FUN!

The cultural yardstick, the way we measure people. Everyone does it, but what books, movies, music do you use as a test? Here's a quick chat on being pretentious assholes.

STUMPISODE. Pick four ballads that the other sucka ain't heard. Crap hair band ballads could have been in play here, but sorry eighties ladies, we stuck to the real shit here.

Two of the greatest things in the world on this episode. Short stories and live music. We talk about our three favorite short stories (not an easy task) and then three of our all time favorite live shows. This was a ton of fun.

Summer is here, and to celebrate the American cinema tradition of shitty movies and an unhealthy snacks, we delve into our favorite crap movies and our favorite low food to accompany them.

Summertime recommendations in this episode.  Why waste your time at picnics or going to the beach when you can hole up in the house and read and listen to records?  No, get outside for god's sake.   Check out our picks for road trip music and summertime reads.
