Stop and Smell the Analog

This episode is about slowing down and smelling the roses. What better way to do that than talking about watching old VHS movies on a $3.50 VCR? Then we dive into some comic talk--Ex Machina, Pax Romana, Daredevil, Y the Last Man. Michael shares a little about Pierce Brown's Red Rising Saga. Movie recommendations this week are Jackie Chan's Police Story and the Tolkien biopic that's available for rent now!

And we are back with a Happy Fathers Day episode dedicated to everyone whether they are a father or not. Unfortunately we encountered some audio problems for the first fifteen minutes so if it becomes unbearable please jump ahead. We discuss some comics and gifts we've received before jumping into our book club discussion about Michael Chabon's Kavalier & Clay. That led us into talking about the differences that make a book a good story or good art. Michael then jumps into several books he's recently read, Piers Anthony's Sos the Rope, James SA Corey's Tiamat's Wrath from the Expanse series, and William T. Vollmann's The Dying Grass. This naturally leads the guys into The Great British Baking Show and the Kid's Baking Championship, the History Channel's series Alone, ultimate fighting, the NBA, the joy of sports community, nerdiness, and fandom, and the story of Hank Gathers, Bo Kimble and Loyola Marymount's run at an NCAA basketball championship. And that's just the highlights! Enjoy the show and tell a friend.

The guys get a little heavy this episode while talking about anger, following your passion, time management, focusing on strengths, and, of course, their kids. They also go heavy into movies. Good Will Hunting, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Wonder, Crash discussions lead into a discussion of junk food movies. More on that next episode, which they promise will be more light and fun! Maybe. Thanks for listening!
