The Long Kiss Goodnight
March 24, 2020 07:00 - 37 minutes - 23.4 MBAfter seeing the box office dwindle from existence and being stuck in their homes, the Commissioners make a hard decision. Since it's difficult to tell where the future of film (and theaters in genera)l will go after this pandemic we find ourselves in, we decide it's time to bring this show to a short close. It's sad to see something so wonderful go away. But since one of our wonderful co-hosts won't be able to comes back to the states for the foreseeable future, we wouldn't want to keep wit...

Invisible Man, Visible Disbelief
March 03, 2020 08:00 - 1 hour - 42 MBThis week, the Commissioners were surprised by something they could even see...an invisible man...spoiler or two.

Toy Story 4 continues its somehow still disappointing domination of the box office, the sweet but apparently definitely dumb Yesterday gets torn to bits (no such thing as a spoiler in 2019, folks), and Ryan advocates strongly for a local niche marketplace not available to the majority of people who listen to this podcast! #buffalosucksauce CH...

Ryan and Mike are joined by the majority of sketch and podcast phenomenon Big Grande (Dan Lippert, Jon Mackey, and Ryan Rosenberg) to torturously explain the Game of Thrones finale to each other, stuff some toilet paper in their ears and fall asleep, and convince Angie to come back for one more Maleficent.
