Sit Down & Shut Up

Matt and I go through the absolute maze that is the recent Netflix-distributed production that is "Annihilation."  This confusing, weird, and beautifully shot film has a lot to go over between all of the strangeness that unfolds that it gave Matt plenty to go over as we talk our way through what exactly happened on that screen.

This week, I play a full conversation I had with musician and producer Theo Möll.  Theo is a very accomplished musician across genres and has also been on the other side of the booth in handling some aspects of music production.  With such vast experience on both ends, Theo has a very strong knowledge of the music world, in both performance and the nuance of music theory.  We keep it pretty tame, though, so people of all musical backgrounds should still find this to be highly accessible and fun!

A later drop this week than usual is a recap of the first round of this past weekend's NFL draft that Corwin and I recorded over the weekend.  Though we make no mention of the other 6 rounds, the all-important and highly-coveted first round is by far the most important, and most watched, round in all of sports.

On today's episode, Christian Royle spends some time telling me about electronic music, his experience with it, and a bunch of tangents surrounding it.  His passion for the art he's creating is exceedingly clear, and if you're interested in hearing more from him, you can check his SoundCloud out at:

On this Monday's episode, Joseph Riggs (aka The Midi Boss) took some time to talk to me about himself, his work, and his art.  He explains what he does, what on earth Midi is, and goes through all of the things that occupy his time and mind.  If you have any interest in electronic music, midi devices, or different facets of music production--this is for you!  If anything Joseph said stuck out to you, you can find him on Reddit as u/TheMidiBoss and on Snapchat as TheMidiBoss with a website following suit

The movie reviews are back!  It's been a little while, but I've done some soul-searching and some movie-searching and got a chance to watch the great new movie, "The Death Of Stalin."  Well worth the watch, this political comedy does a fantastic job on all fronts and is a strong combination of thoughtful and hilarious.  Give it a watch, give this a listen, and become part of the discussion!

All the way from his vacation in Alaska, composer Khris Clymer takes some time to talk about what goes into the art of composing, what it's like to be involved in the world of commercial and film work, and just music in general.  A fun, laid-back, and informative conversation that certainly helped me to appreciate an understand what goes into this kind of work.  To find out more about Khris, check out:

Ethan stops by and Corwin joins in on Skype as we go around the leagues and talk about some current topics in the worlds of baseball, football, hockey, and basketball.  It's been an exciting start to the MLB season, a fascinating NFL offseason, and we're right at the start of the NHL playoffs, so lots to go over in this episode!

Ben and I have another conversation about the current status of the NHL as we begin the most exciting playoffs in all of sports.  We talk about the Devils, the Golden Knights, and why everyone hates Brad Marchand.

James Baker, host of the podcast Pop Cult Net, takes some time to talk with me about movies and a few topics adjacent and on the forefront of the world of pop culture.  This episode is, once again, led off with some sports talk, including some thoughts on the Bronx Cheer that Giancarlo Stanton faced in his first appearance in pinstripes.  I also encourage you all to check out James' podcast at https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/james-baker-2/pop-cult-net and twitter at @PopCultNet
