Episode 7 - All Grown Up (5/20/17)
June 10, 2017 09:08 - 1 hour - 83.5 MBWhat have I done? In an example of man's hubris, I challenged Aulden to watch Adam Sandler's duo of Grown Ups movies. After only 15 minutes through the first one, we both were looking at the detergent under the sink as a possible option. (Jesus Jacob, suicide jokes? Pull yourself up here...) Sorry about that. Anyways, we watched the first movie in this episode literally minutes before starting to talk. It's pretty bad. Between the odd timing choices, stupid as shit jokes/writing, and the mis...

May 28, 2017 04:14 - 1 hour - 88.1 MBScarlett Johansson? More like Scarlett Cyborgson! (Wow... Does that even count as a joke?) We saw Ghost in the Shell so you know what that means! REAL! HUMAN! BINGS! Our discussion happened over a month ago, so you've probably heard the gist of the conversation we're having here. But if you're interested in hearing fresh reactions to this movie only a couple days after seeing it, then I think it's still a valuable conversation. The second topic is about an interesting Vox.com article which ...

May 21, 2017 03:17 - 1 hour - 84.7 MBHooray, we're finally back! So I was trying to not let it go an entire month before updating the pod, but, heh heh. Not in the cards. I hope you guys like the updates I added to this week's pod, I promise the lateness isn't because I'm lazy but instead because I'm innovating! (More like half and half...)

Yippee! Also we discuss a question from Aulden, "Pick three musical selections that exemplify your experience in high school," or something to that effect... I dunno! This is Jake writing this, I never know what the other one's talking about! Last but not least, we ch...
