Mildly Pleased

Mad Men‘s season ended, so it’s obviously time for another albums list. This week, we take the Rock of Ages approach and turn our steely gaze toward the late Eighties. Now, the music in that movie might not be what we would have chosen, so don’t be surprised if our list doesn’t serve as an […]

Like a vengeful genetically enhanced man whose been marooned on a harsh planet for years, we’re back from break and ready to get some lists made. First on the docket: sci-fi movies. It’s a pretty cool time for sci-fi movies right now, what with them coming out and making money. Except for John Carter, but […]

Welcome to the world of tomorrow. A place where cats and dogs not only live together, they’re happy to do so. Where dead singers can be brought back as holograms and that apparently doesn’t offend anyone. Where people carry magical devices that contain all the world’s information, yet spend most of their time simulating combat […]

So, Battleship. Who knew that for all these years what we were actually play was a Michael Bay-esque battle for the planet between brave sailors and devious robot aliens? Nobody, because that’s not how the game works. And yet, here we are. This week, we tackle the issue of dumb adaptations with a bunch of […]

Hark! Up in the sky, it’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Top Ten Thursdays! In honor of the imminent release of The Avengers, we narrowed down our favorite super heroes for your enjoyment. It’s pretty selfless, kind of like Superman. It’s kind of crazy, kind of like Batman. It’s a great responsibility, like Spider-Man. […]

History provides a deep well of leaders and followers working together, like… Caesar and Brutus. That’s true in the world of cinema as well, with great teams of actors and directors. What’s that? Filmmaking is a collaboration? Don’t tell that to John Ratzenberger, that poor guy’s been the indentured slave of Pixar for years. Let’s […]

What’s that pitter-patter on the roof? Is it… Could it be… Top Ten Thursdays? It is! Like a proverbial downpour the discussion this week turned to a topic that is a big part of any Seattle native’s lifestyle: the rain. Specifically, songs about the rain. So warm up some moon waffles, cuddle up in bed […]

The holy weekend’s over, it’s Thursday and the gang’s all here! Our big cast of heroes got together to shoot the poop and let it all hang out. The topic of discussion? Ensemble movies. Those films that don’t rely on just one star, instead focusing on a whole group of characters. It sounded like a […]

We couldn’t pass up an opportunity to record an episode in a real radio station, and thusly, we focused on a real radio topic: sports. As a band of Mariner fans, how could we resist talking about of favorite Seattle Mariners, especially after they were honored by opening the season in Japan? So, sure, the […]

In honor of the beloved Mad Men, this week is all about 1967. Because that’s when the current season of the show is set. Probably. That show’s not really that explicit about anything. But what is explicit is this podcast, because the groovy conversation is all about the most awesome albums of 1967. It’s a […]
