Spacetrash

In which we draw our tarot cards from The Dark Wood Tarot to kick off the Year of the Tiger! Find out how beautifully spot on the reading is both for cousin Mark and cousin Allie. What are you looking to let go of and leave in the past as we begin a new lunar year? What are you looking to bring new life to? Let's get into it! 

Welcome back Spacetrashers! In our first episode of the new year we discuss Mark's brand new image (haircut), what switching up your look can do for your soul, and please help us decide: should Allie get bangs?? We pay tribute to the beautiful and strange Bob Saget, who embodied both homespun compassionate dad and raunchy stand up comedian without shame or remorse and everyone from John Stamos (*swoon*) to Randy Rainbow adored him. Also, join us on Allie's first ever journey through Dry January! How is THAT going? Come hang and find out. We missed you. :) 

In our final episode of 2021, cousins Mark and Allie discuss the roller coaster of a year gone by. It's been another year of insanity and we chat about all of it from the brain fog to the question we've been asking ourselves most recently: in times as off the wall as these, can you even be sarcastic anymore? Also, cousin Mark continues his tradition of ranking a classic Christmas song and this year he takes on a controversial one - can you guess? Tune in to find out! And remember - no matter how crazy it gets "out there" - it will always be cozy on Spacetrash. Happy Holidays we love you! 

In which cousin Mark and cousin Allie discuss when is the correct time to jump into playing holiday music and decking them halls with the holly jolly trimmings. Also, do you love everything you write, everything you create? Should you? Hear what Allie has to say about that after writing and publishing almost daily for over a decade. Are you still an artist if no one sees your art? And finally, we imagine what it would be like to get snowed into a pub and forced to listen to an Oasis cover band play Wonderwall for three days straight. Suffice it to say, glad there'd be alcohol. Grab you favorite seasonal beverage and let's get into it!

In which cousin Mark and cousin Allie discuss the strength, brilliance, resilience, and incredible recent accomplishments of the beautiful and talented Britney Spears (#freedbritney!) and Taylor Swift (we remember it all too well). Should artists be allowed to tell their relationship stories through their art in any way they please? What on earth is Thanksgiving doing coming so quickly this year? Why is America so extremely extra right now? Grab your favorite fall beverage and let's get into it! 

Our very own amazing special guest Cousin Val joins Mark and Allie once again to share her thoughts on experiencing the John Mulaney show 'From Scratch' LIVE in Philly! We get into such hot and timely topics as using dark times of life as material for comedy, what makes a comedian feel more human and relatable than any other kind of star, how fame can be an obstacle, how much personal stuff should go into your art and what should remain private, and sooo much more. Grab your favorite beverage and listen in! Spacetrash: reporting the news as we think we might have heard it.  

In which cousins Allie and Mark talk all about what living through your 20's, 30's and 40's really means, cousin Kate's gorgeous and love-filled wedding and marriage to Great Scott, what Allie is doing to finally get anxiety under control with her herbal and naturally medicinal methods, and what Mark wants for his Golden Birthday (he will be 29 on Sept 29th) and beyond. Come hang out and dare to want what you want what you really really want!  

Season 3 is all about renewal! Cousins Mark and Allie talk about what renewal means to them. Turns out? Renewal is a deeply personal choice with its own meaning for each of us. Kinda love that actually. We missed you all so much - grab your favorite drink and join us for the wild kick off of SpaceTrash season 3! 

In which Mark and Allie reminisce about the wild ride Spacetrash has been and dream of even bigger things to come, while furry cousin Oscar squeaks in a most adorable debut appearance. Also, this was supposed to be Hot Vax Summer but... WTF happened? Grab your favorite beverage and let's get into it!

In which Cousins Allie and Mark are joined by Cousin Val to pull apart the fine details of the groundbreaking new Bo Burnham special "Inside". We get into such timely topics as the psychological effects of being constantly watched as a performer, what it means to be a part of an audience who demands more and more stuff to entertain and distract us, what happens when art becomes branding, the impossibility of existing in a world outside of the one we live in which is owned and run by Big Social Media companies and uber rich billionaires who care only about profit over people (thanks, Jeff Bezos! Congratulations!) And where in the hell does comedy fit within the ever increasing madness? Grab your beverage of choice and join our in-depth discussion!
