    • RiaW #440: Cowboy Bebop #AniMAY

      #AniMAY keeps rolling along with one of the most respected of all time, Cowboy Bebop.  A group of space bounty hunters with lots of skills and no luck. It’s a fun show and I’m finally watching it after 15 years of people pestering me about it.

      Recorded live at Helium Comedy Club in Portland, OR.

      Thanks to the Baroness Von Moneybags for becoming a Meat Buddy!

    • RiaW #439: Princess Jellyfish (2010) #AniMAY

      We’re kicking off #AniMAY with some nerd girls in an apartment. It’s Princess Jellyfish, based on the Manga of the same name. And I… don’t know how I feel about it. But it’s something!

      Thanks to Jazz, our newest Meat Buddy. You got this, Jazz!

    • RiaW #438: Moonraker (1979)

      We’re closing out #Spacepril AKA #CaperilCaneveral with the wackiest James Bond movie, Moonraker. Watch as he launches into space to fight space Nazis! Bonus: we discuss a pigeon for almost half this episode.

      • RiaW #437: Minions (2015)

        We put five annoying, overrated kids movies up for a Meat Buddy vote and they made us watch the 2015 prequel/spinoff of Despicable Me, Minions. We had to watch 90 minutes of gibberish from walking, talking, merchandise opportunities. And almost none of us enjoyed it.

        • RiaW #436: Gattaca (1997)

          This is it! The episode where I get to talk about my field trip to the Kennedy Space Center to watch a NASA/SpaceX launch. It’s great. I brought on first-time guest Scott Hanselman who I met at the launch to share stories (and throw a bit of shade). We also talk about one of my favorite movies from my childhood, the low-tech science fiction film Gattaca. Listen now or GIVE ME YOUR NUMBER.

          • RiaW #435: Mac and Me (1988)

            We’re kicking off #Spacepril with the movie we had to watch because we lost a bet, Mac and Me. That’s right it’s Paul Rudd’s favorite movie about a little alien whose face is a butt.

            • RiaW #434: Incubus (1966)

              We closed out #MarchBadness with the 1996 horror film starring a pre-Star Trek Shatner speaking the invented language Esperanto. It’s really more #MarchWeirdness, but we work with what we’ve got.

              Thanks to Rev Lauren for sponsoring! And thanks to all our sponsors from this last round. It’s been amazing. See you in #Spacepril!
