A fire-breathing monster descends upon the MMC podcast as Joe rejoices in his win about Jon and Dany's burgeoning romance.  Shane also posits an alternative parenting method and talk of a pecan tree brings us to a strange place. game_of_thrones_podcast_7.4_-_the_spoils_of_war.mp3File Size: 99513 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

The MMC tones down the hijinks and mess-arounds for a serious discussion of Martin Scorsese's Silence.   In a spoiler-filled breakdown of the film's characters and themes, Jon, Lane, and new guest Dan M talk more about religious persecution and less about Optimus Prime choking on a chicken bone. silence.mp3File Size: 90204 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

A season's worth of action gets packed into a single episode, and the MMC podcast is just as eventful.  Joe's back with plenty of Bold Stances, Jon cannot get over how fast armies and navies move in Westeros, and the commentary surrounding this week's Power Rankings is tres magnifique. game_of_thrones_podcast_7.3_-_the_queens_justice.mp3File Size: 105469 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

Two episodes in, the action's heating up, and the gang's here to break it down.  This week, we delight in alternative outcomes for Hot Pie, really give it to Back to the Future, and collectively decide that pooka-shell-necklace-wearing dudes are sadists. game_of_thrones_podcast_7.2_-_stormborn.mp3File Size: 111068 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

We discuss the season premiere of Game of Thrones' penultimate season, praising some parts and disparaging others.  We bid a fond farewell to Frey hats, learn what a kip-up is, and do a skit starring a disoriented Night's King. game_of_thrones_7.1_-_dragonstone.mp3File Size: 104114 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

Since there's too much GoT talk to do everyone's favorite segment, What Have You Been Watching, Jon and Bryan sat down to do the first in a series of episodes where that's pretty much it.  Bryan includes every scrap of movie he's consumed, so if you want to know how he feels about 10-15 minutes of Batman v. Superman, he explains his feelings here. whybw_001.mp3File Size: 34102 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

We rev up for the new season of Game of Thrones with a slimmer cast and an equal amount of nonsense.  The big players in Westeros are discussed, we wonder who might play spoiler, and if Benioff and Weiss are listening, we offer up the best possible way to finish the show.  You guys can have that, free of charge. got_season_7_preview.mp3File Size: 85889 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

Jon, Shane, and Blair do a podcast review of Okja, Bong Joon-ho's latest after dystopian train film Snowpiercer.  We discuss the many ethical and economical quandaries in this dense movie, and get back to what the listeners love: slagging on Alabama. okja.mp3File Size: 97123 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

We wrap up our Silicon Veep-ey series just in time, as Bryan is as frustrated with Veep as he is in love with smart fridge-based plot twists.  In our final discussion of these two HBO comedies, we take time out to plug heroin (as if it needs the advertising) and buck up podcasting amateur Malcolm Gladwell. silicon_veep-ey_8.mp3File Size: 109393 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

We're late and Shane-less in discussing two episodes of Silicon Valley (The Patent Troll, The Keenan Vortex) and one episode of Veep (Judge), but Bryan and Jon make the best of it.  We praise the brief appearance of Ed Chambers and attempt to patch things up with Alabama.  It's one thing to alienate anti-vaxxers from our listener-ship.  We can't write off a whole state. silicon_veep-ey_7.mp3File Size: 68625 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]
