Pass the Relish

The latest game sweeping nerd nation... DESTINY. Why PS4s are selling like hotcakes. The latest 49er and Raiders losses, Kaepernick, and trying to figure out why wide receivers are so much damn taller than cornerbacks!

Any theories of your own?

Folks!

On this week's episode the Pass the Relish crew dishes on a very disappointing summer hollywood movie season. Targeting women as a demographic "group", X-Men, Guardians of the Galaxy, Expendables 3, Maleficent, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and why small-scale action films work better than large-scale ones. What worked, what didn't, and trying to explain why. Also, we lament over why people talking about celebrity deaths so damn much -- Robin Williams, Joan Rivers, Lauren Bacall etc...

Folks! In this week's episode Mando and Evan are back to ponder the question of why governments do what they do. Is there a role for technocrats and thinking through public problems?

We get into the devastating California drought and the escalating ISIS situation in Iraq.

Let us know what you guys think - Do you know of any examples of policy-makers thinking through problems?

Folks! Ep. 40 of the PTR podcast! Previewing the NBA finals and recent litigation around discriminatory subprime mortgage lending.

Evan and Mando assess the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs' chances. Who is going to win the front court match ups? What are we most excited about seeing in this rematch? We also spend a good chunk of time parcelling out if aggregate data on discrimination qualifies in court and who is actually culpable in large organizations.

Till next week folks!

Folks!

On this week’s episode of the Pass the Relish podcast, Evan and Mando discuss the public indictment of Donald Sterling. We also get into some recent sociology of “conservatives”, including the Tea Party and Minutemen (those guys who patrolled the border with Mexico).

Folks!

On this week's episode of Pass the Relish, Mando is joined by special guest Brian Sargent to talk and get exasperated about the Pacers, Rockets, Clippers, Bulls, and Warriors. Despite some of their good numbers, these teams could be running even better plays. Also, JOAKIM NOAH!

At the 55 min mark, Evan joins Mando and gets hyped for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which, oddly enough, is getting rave reviews.

Till Next week folks!

What's good folks?

On this week's episode Mando and Evan ask what makes TV shows great? We get into FX's The Americans, Game of Thrones, Orange is the New Black, The Wire and a few others. No spoilers as far as we can tell. They also talk about when race and gender tropes on TV become so annoying it ruins otherwise amazing shows.

Of course, we finish with 10 minutes of Survivor talk. #allhailsurvivor!

'Till next week!
