TAP Snaps

SPECIAL GUEST EPISODE

This week the boys are joined by Liam's wife Erin to discuss the Stream Wars! We talk about the upcoming splintering of content available across the big three streaming platforms (Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime), and who we think will fair the best among the emerging competitors (Disney and Warner Media among them). Most importantly- we discuss what the implications are for us lowly non-media-conglomerate-owners.

This week the boys discover that Friends Come In All Sizes, as Blake leads their discussion on Danny DeVito's 2002 dark comedy, which also happens to be one of the biggest box office flops of all time. The boys discuss the plot in-depth, and wrestle with the fact that this movie should have been better. We also get deep on Robin Williams' masterclass performance as a man slipping into insanity, who is obsessed with a pink rhino. Blake hits us with an awesome rewrite.

This week the boys discuss shutting it down- not the podcast, of course- actions taken by an authority figure, or people en mass to make sure something that they don't want to happen surely does not. The boys showcase shutdowns from powerful people keeping someone (READ: Epstein) from testifying, the President shutting down a pest control program in Baltimore and laughing at a rat infestation in the same place, and address cancel culture to take a wide look at those times when the internet gathers together to shut down individuals.

Hey everybody- due to a technical mishap this week's Imaginarium had some audio problems that made it unlistenable. We hate to miss an episode, but to make sure you don't miss the boys we had Blake sit down and tell us a story about his time at UGA. Please enjoy.

This week the boys talk about spin. How it’s used, how it affects us, and what we can do to be mindful of it. From Fox News reporting on a Bernie Sanders address to Buzzfeed’s coverage of the MAGA hat kid- opinions and reporting have become conflated. How do the guys feel about it? Spoiler: they’re not for it.

Boy, oh boy it's a courtroom drama! This week the boys take on The mf Rainmaker. Written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, starring Matt Damon, and based on a John Grisham novel- what more could you ask for? The boys talk about the beauty of procedurals, and the comfort that comes from watching the type of snappy trial movie that doesn't really get made anymore. They also discuss Matt Damon's accent work, and Mickey Rourke's wildass voice. Liam didn't write a scene this week (which is somehow Blake's fault) so the boys all take their shots at the ending.

This week the boys discuss the one thing everyone can agree on, and no one can explain: the not-so-suicide of Jeffrey Epstein. Liam talks suicide watch, Tarver explores what kind of leverage you get on a billionaire who already got caught trafficking children, and Blake brings up the CIA a lot. How did he die? What happened in the hours before? What in the HELL was going on in that prison? Let's get our speculation on.

WITNESS ME! This week the boys get karma crazy discussing one of the wildest action movies of the decade- Mad Max: Fury Road. Liam, Blake and Tarver get wild with it and discuss world-building, practical effects VS CGI, and the long chase. Tarver also hits us with a great scene re-write.

This week the boys get psychological with it, and examine the nature of Haters. Blake is amazed by Faizon Love’s famous Breakfast Club interview hating on Dave Chappelle, Tarver goes off on a critic who made a name for himself with a hatchet-job on Forest Gump, and Liam breaks down what it means to be a hater.

This week the boys take the rover out to explore Duncan Jones’ 2009 one(ish)-man space odyssey: Moon. Tarver gets into the specs of filming one actor playing two parts, Liam inhabits the mind of a clone, Blake geeks out on the writing, and everyone has a crush on Sam Rockwell.
