  • Episode 19a - Bionicle: Mask of Light

    In this tangent-filled episode, we discuss a gem of early-ish 3D animated films - Bionicle: Mask of Light. Join us as we endure frozen tundra, horrifying shadow villains, questionable Irish druids, and nearly slay a probably harmless semi-robotic bear-dog thing.

    We do all of this and much, much more in the name of casting light upon the darkness in our attempt to determine...Is This Art Good?

  • Episode 18b - Clockwork Angels (The Graphic Novel)
    In this episode, we give our first ever graphic novel review with a discussion of Clockwork Angels by Kevin J. Anderson and Neil Peart! Devin gave Alfonz this adaptation of a novel adaptation of a concept album by Devin's favourite band, Rush. We discuss free will and determinism (in varying degrees), the benefits and drawbacks of playing it safe as a storyteller, and most importantly, what not to do with a bomb if you ever find one thrust into your hands. We stoke the fire of the big steel wheels as we attempt to determine...Is This Art Good?

  • Episode 18a - Mob Psycho 100
    In this episode, we review one of Alfonz's favourite animes - Mob Psycho 100. This conversation really highlights the differences in our tastes, but also in our artistic backgrounds!

  • Episode 17b - Cosmic Encounter
    In this episode, we review one of our favourite board games, Cosmic Encounter (surprise, we think it's good!). We also discuss board games in general as art, which leads us into a HEATED debate over what kinds of things quality as art in the first place.
    We get philosophical, angry, and artsy in our first ever board game review, and hope you'll enjoy listening to us spouting our true, unbridled opinions at one another.
    NOTE: Seriously, we would love to hear whether you side with Devin or Alfonz after this discussion, and we encourage you to try out Cosmic Encounter - [email protected]

  • Episode 16a - The Sisters Brothers
    We young men go west in this review of The Sisters Brothers - the 2018 drama (but also possibly comedy? we guess?) featuring Joaquin Phoenix and John C. Reilly.

  • Episode 15a - If Not Now, When?
    In this episode, we engage in what is possibly our most divisive conversation yet!
