Queen Venerator

Sean and Brad are back, and this time around they discuss Sean's pick of the Law and Order: SVU episode "Conscience" from Season 6 starring Kyle MacLachlan. Pretty normal episode of SVU here. Nothing completely insane that would compel us to discuss this random episode. Also, we discuss Longmont Potion Castle for an extended period of time because why not?

Normal people would not talk about Law and Order for four-and-a-half hours. However, Sean and Brad did, so editing the show is running long. As such, we present this bonus discussion of PC Gamer's 1994 list of the Top 40 PC Games of All Time to tide you over.

It's a New Day (yes it is) at Queen Venerator, as former guest Sean becomes the new co-chair going forward. It takes all of two minutes before Brad and Sean devolve into discussing Ice-T, defunct fast food items, the movie Freeway, Idris Elba punching a lion, Less Than Jake, Sega's Top Skater, and kites.

Eventually, they get around to selecting the topic for next week's show, which is the Law and Order: SVU episode "Conscience" starring Kyle MacLachlan, and folks, if you haven't seen it, you definitely should. Good stuff right here.

We're finally back at it one recovered hard drive and several months later with our Top 200 Cover Songs of All-Time. On this episode we're discussing numbers 80 through 51, and this is where business and weirdness begin to pick up. We have jangle pop covers of piano jazz, piano jazz covers of Michael Jackson, a bunch of classic soul covers, Ice T getting mad at sawdust eating vegans, several covers that succeed at the seemingly impossible, several covers that you didn't even know were covers, a lively discussion of the movie Scotland, PA, bawdy songs from the 1700's, Vietnam draftees doing funk covers of the Mamas and the Papas, and so much more.
