Life's a REC episodes

  • 15: Beyond Blunder Dome

  • 14: Writer’s Blockhead

    Is writing something that’s personal, or does the fate of the world depend on the right adverb, and adjective? We answer that question the only way we know how: by taking detours about Ben Affleck’s inability to sell condos, and Bryan’s utter disrespect for the 25th Hour.

  • 11: Party at Nakatomi

  • 09: Don’t Forget About Me:

    We decided to put John Hughes on blast so you don’t have to, but we also discuss relationships, and how 9/11 changed chat forums. Bryan and David are still unsure how these all connect, but they try anyway.
