Stranger Things makes a big critical leap in the middle of its second season, and we're back to discuss the resonant themes and new character pairings.  Ashli goes into minute detail about the shower scene, we speculate about next season's pregnancy subplot, and whoever can spot Ghost Shane wins a to-be-determined prize. stranger_things_2_part_ii.mp3File Size: 86531 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

Stranger Things is back, and so is the MMC to discuss the latest boo-gans and scare-em-ups.  As Jon, Ashli, Bobby, and Superfan Megan get reacquainted, sans spoilers, with the endearing kids and boring teens of Hawkins, Megan gets further away from officially joining the group, Jon refuses to add bleeps, and we talk about hated Halloween candies for about a half an hour. stranger_things_2_part_i.mp3File Size: 75831 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

Jon and Phil discuss Blade Runner 2049, Ex Machina, and Her, while also finding time to give some financial advice and keep the MMC-FML rivalry going. artificial_intelligence_trio.mp3File Size: 89883 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

Drew sits down for an interview with Jon.  Pulp Fiction is praised as a foundational moment, Vera Drake and Imelda Staunton are singled out, and Jon admires the career of Adam Sandler (just kidding). an_evening_with_jon_k.mp3File Size: 74083 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

We say goodbye to Game of Thrones for the foreseeable future.  Some are more happy with the farewell than others.  Shane's games finally break through, we spend way too much time talking about old Daario, and Phil and Bryan get Sass-y. game_of_thrones_podcast_-_season_7_wrap-up.mp3File Size: 122018 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

For the GoT season finale, the crew gets a little contentious about some of the choices made by ol' Benny and Weiss.  We're reminded that Joe really does not like Theon, that Cersei got a sweet deal at the wagon store, and that the fantasy game is very serious and that the winner is deserving of admiration and praise. game_of_thrones_podcast_-_the_dragon_and_the_wolf.mp3File Size: 128366 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

The latest Game of Thrones episode asks too much of us, as it pushes us past our patience level. Amidst the irritation, we think about some potential pregnancy combinations, change Ashli's opinion about Milo and Otis, and we figure out where Ghost has been hiding game_of_thrones_podcast_7.6_-_beyond_the_wall.mp3File Size: 107288 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

A dense, dialogue-heavy, anticipatory Game of Thrones episode evokes the slower, earlier parts of the series and is all the better for it.  The MMC rotating sextet proposes some dragon-on-bastard romance, reminisces about Ice-T's filmography, and the word that Jon is unable to come up with is 'pareidolia.' game_of_thrones_podcast_7.5_-_eastwatch.mp3File Size: 106646 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]
