What did you mama tell you, anyways? Did she tell you that podcasting was the devil? Or that water sucked? Well, we promise that water will always hydrate you and that this podcast is anything BUT the devil. We are a podcast that focuses on hope, value and mental health awareness. Oh yeah! We talk about movies too. We’re gearing up for the big game by talking about one of the best football movies about ALL TIME. That’s right the true MVP, Bobby Boucher, takes center stage as we are talking about The Waterboy. Join us as we talk about Adam Sandler’s career, our nostalgic connections and the film’s deeper themes of bullying and PTSD – all this and more!

Stop me if you've heard this one before. Nicolas Cage meets H.P.Lovecraft and the two merge over a meteoroid that completely changes the atmosphere around Cage's home. You would call that Color Out of Space. The famous Lovecraftian story is being brought to the big screen and thanks to the glorious return of Richard Stanley - prepare yourself for a wild trip. This is the first Richard Stanley film we've gotten fully since his infamous firing from The Island of Doctor Moreau, all the way back in 1996. This film is too crazy too take on by ourselves, so we are breaking down the biggest moments, love letters and more with Mr. Craig Rosenthal from the Terribly Awful podcast (http://bit.ly/vav13).

Welcome to another adventure within the multiverse! For this journey, we are diving into the depths of the controversial, yet impactful, DC Comics mini-series, Identity Crisis. The series saw the controversial sexual assault of Sue Dibney, wife of DC hero Elongated Man. While we're talking about the majority of the comic series with Dallas Mora from Geek Devotions (http://bit.ly/geekdev). We felt that we couldn't probably discuss the themes of sexual assault properly, so we decided to enlist some outside help. We're sitting down with Brittni & Rich de la Mora, the couple behind XXXChurch (http://bit.ly/x3church). Brittni is a former porn star who found herself in a cycle of depression, self-mutation, drugs and more. Listen to her powerful story and then a deep conversation about the controversial series.
