Once Removed

Prepare yourselves. To help us tackle one of Hollywood's oddest blockbusters, we've brought Congo (1995) expert couchsitter Eric Boone. Listen to Vince and Eric fight each other on adapting this cinematic misfire into a passable masterpiece. Conor judges their "creative" takes on reworking this oft-maligned gem.

The pain of having to choose our favorites on full display. But first, we pitch some recommendations and chat about the new Elvis movie. The favorites fun begins at 00:30:54, where you can eventually hear Conor give Vince a taste of his own list-making medicine.

*minor trigger warning: child abuse discussion surrounding Stephen King's It between 00:54:10 and 00:55:20*

A casual conversation about making a living turns into a deeper discussion about purpose. How do we balance stable work and our creative pursuits? What's important to value in our careers? Why can't Vince convince Conor to put a fictional down payment on a NYC condo?

Since we can't be them, we might as well rank 'em. Not the band members as people, obviously, but the fruits of their labor together. This is THE definitive Beatles album ranking, even though we can't seem to agree on it.

And no, Yellow Submarine is not an official Beatles album. Fight us at [email protected]

In the most unsurprising turn of events, Conor and Vince express their prototypical, toddler-level admiration for Star Wars via an episode rank-off. Will sequels or prequels win out? Revenge of the Sith or Return of the Jedi? Why was Luke ACTUALLY sad while hanging from the Bespin mining colony in Empire? Listen to these two jabber, and then email them at [email protected]

Vince, who published Iberian Claim in 2021, walks Conor through the hectic horrors of the publishing industry, at least for the average joe author. What are your options? Why should you publish? Who is the protagonist of Conor's non-existent, 900-page novel?

TOES OF GRACE coming this fall maybe probably not

Who doesn't love Marvel's flagship character? Fans can't seem to get enough of Peter Parker and Miles Morales, and we too can't get enough of their movies. Well, some of them, that is.

Hear Conor and Vince break down what they love and hate about the on-screen wall-crawler.
