  • Episode 28a - Beezbo's Adventures

    In this episode, we blow the dust off an old educational tape with our review of "Beezbo's Adventures: How to Behave Like a Human Being!". We discuss manners and why they even matter, create origin myths for alien races, talk about the realities and horrors of childhood and bullies, and take a trip down memory lane to revisit some of our own childhood nemeses as we attempt to determine...Is This Art Good?

  • Episode 27b - The Hanging Balloons
    In this episode, we run as fast as we can from our own grisly fate as we review Junji Ito's "The Hanging Balloons". Alfonz gave Devin this short piece of horror manga to remind him that balloons aren't just for entertainment at parties. We discuss eastern and western folklore, our conceptions of good and evil (sort of), and take a deep look at what truly terrifies us as we attempt to determine...Is This Art Good?

  • Episode 27a - The Dream Is Over
    In this episode, we review a piece of Canadian indie-punk chaos - "The Dream Is Over" by PUP! It's a wild ride through an album that Devin just wanted to talk about, and was surprised at Alfonz's take on it. We explore anxiety, fear, folk tales, and the reality of life in our own hometown in our attempt to determine...Is This Art Good?

    In this episode, we grit our teeth and review Ben Affleck's directorial debut: "I Killed My Lesbian Wife, Hung Her on a Meat Hook, and Now I Have a Three-Picture Deal at Disney". What is this? Have you ever heard of it? Neither had we. We take a wild ride through the mind of a madman, deal with brown-nosing executives, and discover our rightful place in the film industry as we attempt to determine...Is This Art Good?

  • Episode 26a - Donut County
    In this episode, we go down into a deep dark hole...a donut hole! It's our review of Donut County - an indie game with a lot to say and very few words to say it.

  • Episode 25b - Rosk: I Don't Remember

    In this episode, we have another Is This Art Good? first! We review the NEW single by the indie-pop group Rosk! The band contacted us asking us to review it and we were happy to oblige - after all, it's a bit of a risk asking anyone to give their opinion on your art. We talk about Rosk's production, structure, songwriting, and all the things WE don't remember in our attempt to determine...Is This Art Good?

    Listen to Rosk on Spotify and Apple Music, and follow them on social media @Rosklive

  • Episode 24b - Murdoch Mysteries
    In this episode, we journey back in time to when our country was just a little baby for a review of Murdoch Mysteries Season 1! Devin makes it no secret that this show is a favourite of his, while hoping that it sways Alfonz's disdain for period pieces AND crime procedurals (a lofty task, to be sure). 
    We investigate martian landings, meet famous inventors, and nearly get caught tampering with evidence as we attempt to determine...Is This Art Good?

  • Episode 24a - XCW: Extreme Cartoon Wrestling
    In this episode, we tackle what is perhaps one of the least appreciated (and most questioned) forms of art we've encountered yet: fan fiction! Our review of Extreme Cartoon Wrestling takes us to a fictional world where all your favourite cartoon characters square off for the title! 
    We climb 20-foot ladders, avoid dropkicks at every turn, and perfect our custom finishers as we attempt to determine...Is This Art Good?

  • Episode 23b - The Mollusk

    In this episode, we spend some time in the swirling depths of the sea. It's our review of "The Mollusk", by Ween! 

    Devin gave Alfonz this piece of 90s art-rock psychedelia in the hopes that it would spark something in both of them...it did. We encounter mythical creatures, drunken sailors, and love stories with gruesome endings as we attempt to determine...Is This Art Good?
