Episode 40- Unfilmable HP Lovecraft
September 11, 2016 00:00 - 1 hour - 42.3 MBHerbert West has a perfectly good head on his shoulders, and another one in a dish on his desk. Throwing back to an episode originally recorded in 2015, we present to you this treasure from the vaults. In a theme that would later be echoed in our episode THE UNFILMABLE WILLIAM GIBSON, the boys look into a different literary auteur. H.P. Lovecraft was a pulp writer in the 1920s, who would die penniless and unrecognized. Nearly 100 years later Lovecraft has left an indelible mark on all ho...

Episode 39- We, Too, Did Not Like Suicide Squad
August 27, 2016 00:00 - 1 hour - 93.7 MBIt's the latest entry from the DC theatrical cinematic universe. It's SUICIDE SQUAD. It isn't very good. But people seem to have a problem with people thinking it isn't very good. We feel like we make a compelling case, and we certainly don't blame anyone who disagrees with us. This is the world we live in. Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jai Courtney, and more team up as the villains come anti-heroes in order to save the world, but under duress. I think. The movie isn't terribly clear. Mus...

We didn't know what it was, but by the time it left us a different and more enlightened people. STRANGER THINGS was the unable-to-be-anticipated television event of the summer.
