#255: Going Solo to Infinity and Beyond

June 05, 2018 17:59 - 37 minutes - 51.8 MB

After some time away, BryGuy and I reconvened late last week to discuss our reactions to two of The Mouse Ear Company’s biggest film releases so far this summer: Avengers: Infinity War, and Solo: A Star Wars Story.  Join us for our typical insightful commentary and a couple of laughs. Hope the weather is lovely wherever you are.

#254: That’s a Man’s Job

February 01, 2018 19:59 - 40 minutes - 22.9 MB

Making idiotic predictions?  Please — step aside and let BryGuy and I take care of that for you. We catch up on the Golden Globe winners from earlier in the month of January, and do our best to handicap the Oscar field.  It’s funny how close “field” sounds to “feel,” because that’s basically the info […]

#253: “I’m Glad You Liked It.”

January 16, 2018 18:54 - 59 minutes - 34.1 MB

It’s time for the annual Music Year in Review!  BryGuy and I run down our respective Top Five Albums of 2017, for the first time, with no cross-overs.  Have you spent time with any of these 10 albums?  Let us know what you thought.  If not, check out the Spotify playlist of the samples we […]

#252: Magic Space Wizards!

December 20, 2017 21:07 - 1 hour - 44.7 MB

BryGuy is with us only in pre-taped form, but we still make plenty of hay between him, myself, and our buddy the K-Bear on this SPOILER-FILLED EPISODE that is all about The Last Jedi.  Seriously, there are so many spoilers.  Do not listen to this if you haven’t seen the movie yet.  Just don’t.  Wait.  Maybe see […]

Redux #209: We Have Felt All the Feels

December 13, 2017 18:57 - 57 minutes - 32.7 MB

This weekend, BryGuy, myself, and numerous other friends of the podcast will head out to theaters for the latest installment in the third Star Wars trilogy: The Last Jedi.  Look for a fresh episode some time on Sunday, the 17th, with our thoughts, reactions, and yes — spoilers. In the meantime, take a listen back to our […]

#251: BM v. SM

December 01, 2017 20:22 - 48 minutes - 27.9 MB

You like movies?  You like thinking about movies, and talking about movies?  You’re going to like this episode.  We dig into Thor: Ragnarok, BryGuy does everything he can to *not* say that he hated Murder on the Orient Express, and let’s be honest: we’re getting keyed up for The Last Jedi, so there’s some chatter about that, too. Put us […]

#250: Time of the Season

November 17, 2017 00:50 - 53 minutes - 30.6 MB

The days are waning, my friends. As the calendar rolls inexorably toward the Winter Solstice, we’ve got less daytime hours, and more time to spend in front of the ol’ tube (or panel, as it were).  That being the case, me and the BryGuy have TV to catch up on.  Dig in for Bryan’s late […]

#249: Still Up and Walking

October 26, 2017 23:58 - 51 minutes - 29.2 MB

BryGuy and yours truly have not gone anywhere!  We’re happy to come back on this first week of the new Walking Dead season to chat about the return of that show, make a quick horror movie list, and gab with speculation about the upcoming second season of Stranger Things on Netflix.  All exciting stuff.  All right here just waiting […]

#248: All the Dumbest Crap

October 03, 2017 20:52 - 41 minutes - 23.8 MB

Latest news cycle got you down?  That’s understandable.  Frankly, if you’re not a little bothered by something that’s happened in that last–oh, I dunno–3 to 7 days, you’re probably not paying attention to the internet anyway. But for those of you who require a slight reprieve, let yours truly and the singular BryGuy (aka Ruff Wizard) take […]

#247: The People, and the Difficulty.

September 22, 2017 15:38 - 56 minutes - 32.5 MB

Time for us to catch up on our small-screen viewing (and my one random toss-in of a movie in Alien: Covenant), and to touch base on the Emmy winners.  So many shows, literally not enough time to watch them all.

#246: Reunited (and it feels as good as you will consent for me to make it feel)

September 08, 2017 18:33 - 54 minutes - 31.2 MB

BryGuy makes his triumphant return from the Lonely Crowded West to talk with me about our musical excursions from the summer.  For him, it was a few new albums that piqued his attention, and for me, the conclusion of my Summer of Radiohead. Please enjoy this pleasant stroking of your feels for the next 60 […]

#245: Dragonballs the Podcast

August 30, 2017 20:30 - 1 hour - 36.9 MB

Lacking a BryGuy, I happily welcome my lovely young wife, Kim, and friend of the show Joseph P. Knitt, as we chat through the recently season finale of the Game of Thrones, and the 7th season at-large.  Make sure you’ve seen the ep, then jump in and join us.

#244: Bikers for Radiohead

June 28, 2017 21:00 - 47 minutes - 26.9 MB

BryGuy noticed a biker at a stoplight recently blaring “Creep” on his stereo.  So that was a funny thing. Mostly, though, we’re screaming in your earholes this week about the TV we’ve been catching and/or streaming lately (mostly streaming, let’s be honest).  Lots to choose from, plenty to enjoy.  Have a good time, and we’ll […]

#243: Play This One on Your Home Hi-Fi

June 23, 2017 18:47 - 48 minutes - 27.6 MB

After taking some time off, BryGuy and I return to chat about the summer flicks (and a non-summer flick) that we’ve seen so far.  Lots of good, some mixed, all worth watching.  We also get into the stuff we’ve been listening to for the last several weeks, including my Summer of Radiohead.  Take a listen […]

#242: The Gern and Charlie Show

April 28, 2017 15:03 - 55 minutes - 31.9 MB

Next week, the calendar flips over to the month of May, which means it’ll be summer movie season.  As has become the custom over the last decade, summer is the Season of Dominance for Disney and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  Expect much of the same this year.  You can consider our fancies tickled. Enjoy!

#241: Musical Interlude

April 14, 2017 16:40 - 30 minutes - 17.5 MB

This week, after being drenched in television for lo, these many weeks, BryGuy and I take a stab at some album releases that piqued our interest in the last couple months.  Crank up your ear-holes for commentary on the latest from Wild Adriatic, The Shins, and Spoon.  All pleasant.  All ready to move you. … […]

#240: We Don’t Just Make Spaghetti

April 07, 2017 17:55 - 35 minutes - 20.6 MB

Season 7 is in the books.  Bryan and I review the finale, the season writ large, and speculate on what’s to come.  36 minutes of delectable good times.

#239: The Royal Palace

March 24, 2017 23:46 - 41 minutes - 23.6 MB

Little did you know that the Christmas season just wrapped up last weekend — when BryGuy and Jennette traveled west to take in the VIP tour of Paisley Park, Prince’s estate/production complex in Chanhassen, MN. On this week’s show, we get his review of the tour, including the benefits of the VIP treatment, and why Paisley Park […]

#238: The Charlie Brown of Tatooine

March 10, 2017 17:51 - 42 minutes - 24.6 MB

BryGuy and I get caught up on all the important stuff: Star Wars, the weird goings on at the Oscars, the fact that neither one of us completed that Oscar-viewing mission, the latest offering from friend of the podcast Mike Birbiglia, and my new television obsession (yes, of course it’s related to comic books; sheesh). Take your time, do […]

#237: Shmorge Michael

February 18, 2017 16:56 - 47 minutes - 27.1 MB

BryGuy and yours truly back in the saddle this week with a discussion of the mid-season premiere of The Walking Dead, catching up on our Oscar-movie progress, BryGuy’s rants about the Grammys, along with a healthy serving of chuckles. Stick that in your pipe, Pfeiffer.

#236: Operation: NOMINATE!

January 27, 2017 19:59 - 51 minutes - 29.4 MB

PURELY BY COINCIDENCE, we taped this episode along with our wonderful and insightful wives on some made-up “spouses day” fake holiday.  We would have loved having them along regardless, of course. But, the Oscar nominations are out, and that means it’s time to assess the field, make some early predictions, and game-plan for a month […]

#235: Let’s Casey Kasem This Bitch

January 21, 2017 11:14 - 1 hour - 36.8 MB

An annual tradition ’round these parts: BryGuy and I like to open each new calendar year of the podcast with a review of our favorite albums from the 12 months prior.  Plenty of good stuff on our respective lists, and commentary/samples you won’t want to miss. Looking forward to sharing our intrepid insights with you […]

#234: The Prequel We Wanted

December 23, 2016 17:39 - 43 minutes - 25.1 MB

Not much else to say this week: Bryan and I both got out to see Rogue One (like several million other people) last week, and we had a splendid time.  Join us for three-quarters of an hour to reflect on the plot, the characters, where it fits in the greater Star Wars pantheon, and the questions both raised and […]

#233: Unrest In the Camp: Walking Dead Mid-Season Review

December 16, 2016 03:30 - 53 minutes - 30.7 MB

Delighted to have friends of the show Todd Lucas and my venerable sister Jen joining yours truly and the BryGuy for this week’s episode, where we spend the entirety chatting about the first half of Season 7 of The Walking Dead.  And watch yourselves, fair listeners: we have dissension in our ranks.  Stick it in your […]

#232: Just Like Boobs

December 10, 2016 22:20 - 35 minutes - 20.1 MB

You can always tell the difference between the real thing and an obvious facsimile. This right here is honest-to-goodness podcasting, where we chat about the latest ep of The Walking Dead, look forward to some of the movie releases coming up in the immediate future, and also touch base on a pair of fantastic rap/hip-hop releases from […]

#231: BONER CITY

December 01, 2016 16:26 - 39 minutes - 22.4 MB

There’s not much to do with boners in this episode, but every time we get together and chat about movies (like Doctor Strange) and TV (like The Walking Dead) and all our other favorite silly crap, it just makes a guy feel good. Hope it does the same for you.

#230: Commonly White

November 16, 2016 09:16 - 36 minutes - 21 MB

A couple of honkeys talk about stuff like Dave Chapelle, A Tribe Called Quest, and The Walking Dead. If you followed this link from Facebook, good for you.  If you found it somewhere else, double-good for you.

#229: Swallowing Dragonballs

October 27, 2016 02:06 - 34 minutes - 19.8 MB

Quite a bit to digest after this week’s season 7 premiere of The Walking Dead.  Bryan and I are ready for a big shift to the tone and the arc of the narrative, though, and we have some thoughts about how it all started last Sunday.  We even entertain a divergent opinion from one of our […]

#228: Celery Bacon

October 21, 2016 09:46 - 46 minutes - 26.7 MB

Plenty for BryGuy and I to talk about after taking quite a spell off from polluting your ear holes: the latest from Wilco and Green Day, respectively, an update on the state of affairs with Prince’s estate and affairs, props to Bob Dylan, looking at the 2016 Rock Hall nominees… and that’s just the musical […]

#227: Coming Soon to an Internet Near You

September 30, 2016 10:40 - 8 minutes - 5.13 MB

We know it’s been a long time, but here we are: it’s a brand new autumn, and as Bryan and I both settle in to some happy new life changes, we’re getting ready to saddle up and bring you the senseless chit-chat to which you’ve become accustomed.  Consider this brief talk a “fall preview” of […]

#226: NBH

August 13, 2016 13:28 - 28 minutes - 16.2 MB

It’s me, BryGuy, and my beautiful wife Kim on this week’s show, where we chat about the latest Netflix Original sensation, Stranger Things.  After being implored to watch it by literally every person I spoke to for a week, I did not regret a moment. Bryan and Jennette got to check out the Mile of Music […]

#225: Caucasians In Minnesota Getting Cocktails

July 18, 2016 21:18 - 28 minutes - 16.1 MB

Making his triumphant return to the co-host seat, LIVE and in-person: Bryan Siebers.

Might not be any BryGuy this week, but I called in some reinforcements to back me up and chat about X-Men: Apocalypse, the latest from Radiohead, and Game of Thrones.  Thanks to everybody who joined me!  Hope you enjoy. Best matrimonial wishes to the BryGuy and Jennette!!!

#223: Still Going

May 19, 2016 21:00 - 31 minutes - 18 MB

Back in full effect on this 18th day of May, BryGuy and I catch up big screen business (Captain America: Civil War, Jungle Book), as well as things on the small screen (Kimmy Schmidt, Mindy Project, and others). If the weather is supposed to be as goddamned beautiful where you live as it is by me, […]

#222: Anthology

April 30, 2016 22:00 - 1 hour - 37.5 MB

This week, BryGuy pays tribute to one of his all-time favorite recording artists in the best way he knows: compiling a list of great tracks to share.  Join us for a little retrospective of a segment of Prince’s career, from about 1983 – 1993.

Remembering Prince (Summertime Special #1 Redux)

April 22, 2016 22:10 - 11 minutes - 7.89 MB

More to come next week, but it seemed like a good time to replay this nugget from BryGuy’s time in the Twin Cities.  #RIPPrince

#221: Not Just a Silly Neurotic Jew

April 22, 2016 16:59 - 53 minutes - 30.6 MB

Looks like there’s just enough to keep us excited on the way to the theater this summer — take an hour-long sojourn through the coming attractions with me and the BryGuy. (P.S. – More to come in this space regarding the passing of Prince in the near future).

#220: Are We Pissing Our Pants Yet?

April 07, 2016 13:03 - 48 minutes - 27.8 MB

Please remember: it is our custom on this show to spoil the crap out of whatever TV show or movie we’re discussing.  That being said, if you’re here and you haven’t seen the season 6 finale of The Walking Dead yet, let this serve as your warning. I think it’s safe to say that both BryGuy and I […]

#219: Yes, You Can.

March 24, 2016 19:45 - 41 minutes - 23.5 MB

BryGuy and his good pal, the Bocko, here in full effect to delight and amuse you with their podcast-y tidings.  If you enjoy the likes of The Walking Dead, 11.22.63, and the motion picture Deadpool, then this lil’ bugger is for you.  Go ahead, download and kick it.

March 19, 2016 17:16 - 44 minutes - 25.3 MB

No BryGuy on this week’s show, but I did manage to scramble my sis, Jen, for a chat about The Walking Dead and 11.22.63, as well as other television-related goodies.  Please consume, and enjoy.

#217: Superfluous Bullsh*t.

March 10, 2016 17:14 - 56 minutes - 32.3 MB

Bryan and I get back on the horse this week with a full load to slog through, so strap yourself in.  We’ve got a quick Oscars recap, a proverbial doffing of the cap to George Martin, reviews of new albums from Ra Ra Riot and Elton John, and TV check-ins on The Walking Dead, American Crime […]

#216: George Lucas Disease

February 25, 2016 12:01 - 57 minutes - 32.8 MB

Always fun to have a guest on the program, and this week it’s long-time friend of the show R. Chris Lorch, stopping by to chat up the recently-completed “tenth season” of The X-Files.  He and I have plenty to say about it, so if you’re an xphile, you’ll want to be there… BryGuy and I also […]

February 17, 2016 15:57 - 43 minutes - 24.9 MB

Bryan and I get caught up on some of the most pressing entertainment items of our day: the Grammys (sheesh), the return of The Walking Dead, the premiere of 11.22.63, and an update of our progress with the Best Picture nominees (Academy Awards less than two weeks away!). Have a little listen, and make your hump day a […]

February 06, 2016 16:58 - 40 minutes - 23.2 MB

Bryan and I welcome his beautiful young fiancee, Jennette, to the big program to chat about last week’s Grease: Live that aired on Fox.  I also implore my colleague one more time to WATCH THE FREAKING MARVEL SHOWS ON NETFLIX.  There will be no regrets in doing so, I assure you.  We have a healthy amount of […]

#213: I’m Oscar dot com

January 29, 2016 18:03 - 58 minutes - 33.7 MB

Well, award season is upon us here in Bocko-n-BryGuy-ville.  That being the case, we take a look back at the results of the Golden Globes (including the hilariously fabulous musical, The Martian), and ahead at the Oscar nominees. In case you missed it, there’s also a new season of The X-Files airing on Fox for the next few […]

#212: Hayden’s Biker Shorts

January 19, 2016 12:27 - 46 minutes - 26.6 MB

Bryan and I climb back on the TV/movie horse this week, opening up with some additional thoughts on The Force Awakens.  We still like?  Indeed we do.  We also dig into the mid-season premieres coming to TV in the next several weeks.  Anything you’re looking forward to checking out?  Let us know!

Merry Christmas, faithful listener! On this December 24th, Bryan and I offer up a glimpse of his top five favorite Christmas jingles… and the five that he never wants to hear again.  Which one merits the quarter pounder moniker?  You’ll have to listen to find out. Have a fantastic Christmas, one and all.

#209: We Have Felt All the Feels

December 18, 2015 23:11 - 57 minutes - 32.7 MB

Not a lot else to say but this:  The Force Awakens.  We saw it.  We have things to say about it.  You want to hear them. SPOILERS HEREIN!  If you wish to have your experience unpolluted by our discussion, steer clear until you’ve seen the movie. But, if you’re ready… let it in.

#208: Hope That It’s Hard

December 11, 2015 10:44 - 42 minutes - 24.3 MB

Bryan and I reconvene to wrap up the first half of The Walking Dead‘s sixth season, check-in on The Mindy Project and Last Man on Earth, and we also give a listen to the soundtrack from the Broadway musical Hamilton.  Little spoiler here: we dug the Hamilton quite a bit.  Give it a listen if you can get your ears on […]
