It was a sad start to the recording as this was recorded on the day of Nimoy’s death, but we celebrate his life and work to the best of our abilities. Erica then gives reviews on two books: Hopeless Savages by Jen Van Meter and various artists and Supreme Blue Rose by Warren Ellis and Tula Lotay. Others things discussed are Alien 5, Spider-Man, Blade Runner 2, net neutrality, speeding up sit-coms and vomiting during 50 Shades of Grey (like you should).

 

Erica shines brighter than ever with a negative star review of Gone Girl, articles in The Economist, and Orphan Black. Kevin comes up with an insulting name for the female version of going “commando”, tells terrifying stories of the robot uprising starting with your vacuum, bar music manipulation, toilet whistling (or whispering), Captain America and Star Lord Super Bowl bets and more. Our faces were hurting from laughing.

It’s all about movies today. We get really passionate the George Takei documentary “To Be Takei” and talk about at length. A possible Fight Club commentary. Are Marla and Bob also part of Jack’s split personality? TMNT movie review. It’s not that bad! Ending with a book recommendation from Kevin this week: What If? Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions. Other topics include: Holiday food, drama competitions, car judgments in So Cal, trolls, Kevin is 30 going on 70, and Japanese-American internment camps. Thanks for listening!

We’re back. In this episode we give a lengthy review of the The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (26:00-46:04) and Erica gives book recommendations for The White Queen by Philippa Gregory and Saga by Brian K. Vaughan. Other things discussed include Krampus, Santacon, Bananacon, banana phone, Napster, 90s internet, bulletin board systems (BBS), Kevin annoys everyone with his hover board, Sony hack and more. Thanks for listening!

 

Recorded on Thanksgiving day we talk about Thanksgiving memories, a town in Poland thinks Winnie the Pooh is a hermaphrodite, and we play a Thanksgiving mad lib to tell the true history of the holiday as written by Kevin. Thanks for listening.

 

Let’s talk Halloween! History of Halloween, memorable moments, scaring children, stealing candy bowls, and favorite horror movies. Kevin takes a “Sexy Costume” quiz and we bring back the versus segment. Leatherface vs. Ash. Probably overproduced, but we were having too much fun.

It’s been a while and this episode is short, but don’t let that be confused with bad. Kevin introduces Erica to the Academy award winning movie (at least is should have been) Bloodsport. Her commentary on 80’s racism and love for martial arts and silk pajamas is priceless. We also talk about Shatner possibly being in Star Trek 3 (boooo) and giving comics legend Jack Kirby his due, finally.

In this episode things get a little serious as we talked about depression and our favorite Robin Williams movies. The daughter from Hook and the son from Birdcage are jerks. Good Morning Vietnam is great, but a little racist. We Guardians of the Galaxy review after a second viewing. One of the best Marvel movies even with a throw-away plot. ICE-T records Dungeons & Dragons audio books. Vin Diesel makes people cry again in an animated role. The Japanese have a weird bagel-head fashion implant now. We are the old people that judge the new body modifications. An Oregon man wins the Scrabble tournament and we discuss the Scrabble documentary, Word Wars. To finish things out Erica tells us about bad workplace exercises.  Thanks for listening. Tell a friend!
