Jagbags

Put on your headphones, light some incense, and get the lava lamp out of storage -- cause we're gonna talk prog rock and it's gonna get loud. What are your favorite prog rock bands? What IS prog music? Have you ever heard a King Crimson record? Is Styx prog, or classic rock? Do you like Tool but dislike Tool fans? And what of the band Toehider? Also, Len deepens his love of Kanye, Beave bemoans the Cleveland Cavs, and Len's staff stages a Mother's Day revolt! Tune in!

Len and Beave welcome the legendary Kirk Pynchon to Jagbags, and the topic is one of Kirk's favorites -- the life and work of the one and only Wesley Snipes. From "Blade" to "White Men Can't Jump" to "Coming 2 America", we work to get to the heart of Mr. Snipes' appeal and share that with you! We also talk the Bears' amazing draft, moan about the Cavs and Bulls, and review about 75 different albums. Tune in!

Beave and Len break down the career and movies of the living legend himself, Denzel Washington. Which movies are your favorite, and which Denzel movie do you think wins Len's latest bracket? Also, Len pushes for a podcast devoted entirely to the song "That's What Friends Are For", the guys receive an angry fax from a fan of "Mank", and they discuss Ken Burns' latest documentary (and his Chicago arrest record). Special guest: The Doors! Tune in!

Len and Beave talk the movies of Brad Bird, Pete Docter, and the other geniuses at Pixar Animation Studios. They discuss their favorite (and least favorite) Pixar movies, best moments, most unforgettable characters, before the whole thing devolves into an argument over .38 Special. Join us before the whole thing turns into a train wreck! They also talk MLB, NBA, the Oscars, and much more!

We are through messing around on this podcast! The subject is Led Zeppelin. The guest is Scott OKen. The result are jams upon jams, followed by more TABLE-BUSTING JAMS!! We talk through Jimmy Page's best solos, rank our favorite Zep songs, and rate the band members' overall individual place in music history. Hear OKen disparage Beave's preparation! Marvel at OKen's controversial takes (Tangerine)!! See how Len dislikes the blues! Enjoy the Paul Davis and Jump In The Saddle Band tangents!!!

Len and Beave welcome Jagbags baseball correspondent Anthony D'Andrea for two PLUS hours of nothing but baseball! No record reviews, movie talk, or .38 Special jokes. Just the national pastime and thoughts on the Cubs, White Sox and Indians. Plus the guys make their fearless postseason predictions and preview who could win MVP and Cy Young awards. Tune in and tell a friend!

In preparation for Len's upcoming bracket, the guys get down to business and dissect the work of the living legend Mr. Stevie Wonder. What is his best song of all-time? His best album? His most underrated work? And was his string of 70s albums the finest run in music history? Len and Beave sit down to provide YOU their expertise. Additionally, the guys talk March Madness, Oscar movies, and the genius of .38 Special's fourth album (if you don't know what that is, you are NOT a fan). Put a little #Jagbags in your ear!

The Oscar nominations for 2021 have been released, and Jagbags is here to break it down for your listening entertainment! We talk egregious Oscar snubs as well, plus some Oscar trivia. We spend way too much time on Sean Penn, and also talk March Madness, Len's entire history with Stacey King, plus the time Beave personally heckled the Red Rifle himself, Mr. Andy Dalton. Tune in IMMEDIATELY!

March Madness is BACK and Beave and Len have you covered! Tune in for an expert assessment of this year's NCAA men's basketball bracket, and hear the picks to win it all. Then the guys switch gears and talk the current roster of nominees for the Rock Hall of Fame. Also: Who's not in the Hall, but should be? And who's in but should NOT be? Put a little #Jagbags in your ear!

Len and Beave finally tackle the billion-dollar juggernaut that is the Star Wars franchise. They talk their favorite movies and characters from the series, and Len tries to keep a straight face while Beave describes his relative hatred for a movie he has seen four times. From Darth Maul and Grand Moff Tarkin to the Ewoks and the insufferable Jar Jar Binks, this episode has it all! (Pictured: Beave's cosplay for this week's episode recording)
