The Lone Star Podcast

Playwright, activist, and fellow trash aficionado Sam Tilles joins Ben and Alex today to talk about one of their favorite pieces of garbage content: “Future Card Buddyfight,” a Yu-Gi-Oh-esque anime laden with delightful mistranslations and mind-boggling world mechanics.  Join us as we break open the walls of the cave and fight on with all of the great skills that we have.

In this episode, Alex and fill-in garbage purveyor Larry (#spoileralert: it’s Alex’s dad) break down the recent Netflix original movie “Game Over, Man!”  Join us as we treat ourselves to some of the better-smelling trash that the pod has to offer.  Caution: awkward father-son dynamic when discussing graphic scenes of sex stuff.

Today, Alex and Ben try to figure out exactly which kids Brokencyde are referring to with their 2009 scrunk opus “I’m Not a Fan, But the Kids Like It:” a punk, metal, hip-hop Frankenstein of an album (if Frankenstein was a fifteen-year-old racist with phallic insecurities) that emerges as a contender for the trashiest Lone Star content yet.

Need a breather from all the garbage?  We thought so.  On every fifth episode, Alex and Ben treat you (and themselves) to a “Lone Star Does Five Star” special, where they surprise each other with a list of things that they love.  Join us this week as the boys talk movies, music, video games, politics, pizza, and a special someone.

There are video games and then there is Ben 10 Omniverse 2.  Find out what happens when a billion-dollar cartoon franchise tries to sell a Temple Run rip-off at full console price as Ben and Alex talk gaming mechanics, Greek Tragedy, and keycards.

Ben needs to soak in moisturizer for a week.  Alex still smells like Chuck E Cheese sausage.  Find out why on this week’s episode of The Lone Star Podcast.

Today, Alex and Ben dive into the talking-animal purgatory that is “Super Buddies,” a straight-to-DVD children’s movie from the creator of “Air Bud.”  Join us as we reflect on a career dedicated to this ultra-niche genre and the proverbial sea of Big Macs in which we are drowning our children.

Sometimes, brilliant people create not-so-brilliant things.  We kick off The Lone Star Podcast by talking about “The Cobbler” (2014), directed by Tom McCarthy, written by Tom McCarthy & Paul Sado, and starring Adam Sandler.

Meet Alex and Ben, your premiere purveyors of garbage content.  Tune in Wednesday, Feb 28th, 2018 for our very first episode!
