Resonance - Dan the dad, the fan, the man.
August 23, 2017 22:14 - 52 minutes - 59.8 MBDan is welcomed into the Red Room to give us his take and observations on this year’s summer movies. We dive into his origins as a comic book fan, and open up a can of worms when it comes to where the current crop of blockbuster super hero movies are ultimately going. We chat about our picks for which hero we wish would happen next in cinema, and the state comic heroes on television. We stray from time to time but overall its a good talk about movies and we’ll check in with Dan aga...
Reflections - Twin Peaks The Return Ep. 5,6,7
August 11, 2017 18:38 - 55 minutes - 63.5 MBGuillermo and I talk Episodes 5,6, & 7 of Twin Peaks: The Return. We don't go episode by episode, we are still talking impressions and theory. We let the Lynchian beauty, and horror, wash over us, as it were. There are questions of time, ties to Norse lore, musings of final show downs, and curiosities of cameo-or-long-term-role that we bat around. We are caught up in the appreciation of the Return and while this edition was recorded way back, unsurprisingly, we really haven't com...

The ladies join Guillermo to sit, and wax poetic, philosophical, and literal on J.K. and her work. Comparisons are unavoidable to greats like Professor Tolkien, and we work together to sort out our feelings, and fandom. It’s really just a get to know you, to prep for next time when the g...
Reminiscence - Theme Park Love
July 22, 2017 05:16 - 1 hour - 76.1 MBSam and Gil Friends old and new-ish we chat with the two love birds and hear the story of how they went from cubicle buddies to wedded bliss. It’s great fun to hear the different stories, the varying truths from two perspectives. The grown-ups tell it like it is. Honest, and quick to laugh, both Gil and Samantha offer up some great content. Really enjoyed this one. What a great time! We get our hopes up that they’ll come back.

Reminiscence - Charlie And Brando; Swords and the Pines
July 17, 2017 02:15 - 1 hour - 122 MBWe meet Brando. Charlie and Mike’s close friend. Previously appearing in name, and now, in voice. We compare notes on the way we were introduced to David Lynch. We are enjoying the art of conversation, and move from pop culture to the ancient art of sword play. Brando drops some serious sword knowledge, I can’t spell or pronounce the art in which he is proficient. We talk about first readings of Dune and Political television and we come back to the man-child theme, video games and...

July 10, 2017 05:15 - 1 hour - 98.2 MBIt’s usually a dark coffee bar, a dark booth in a local dive, or dark theatres, this time, Laura and I have a conversation in the red room which as you may know, is strangely well lit. We cover the challenge of going from introvert to dancer to the social butterfly to mom and during it all, a daring artist…Laura gives us the skinny on the Phoenix comic con, from the guy trying to attack the green ranger, to Jim Butcher (we’re sorry we’re impatient for your work), comic con burlesq...
Reminiscence - Thanks For Being My Mom
July 03, 2017 00:09 - 36 minutes - 42 MBThanks For being my Mom From The Red Room welcomes my Mom. This is the story of how in 1976, an extra baby was floating around, and a young couple who was up to that point unable to have a child, took him away from a life in the circus to a happy home. Might not have been a circus. We don't know. There's still a certain amount of mystery. I was lucky to grow up with such role models, as my mother and father. Mom worked hard her whole life, from her youth in a small farming com...
Ruminations-Mike N Charlie Night 2 Pt 2
June 29, 2017 02:30 - 1 hour - 93.5 MBPart 2-We can talk. Charlie takes the car out on memory lane and puts the pedal down. It’s our verbal s’mores around this digital campfire. It’s heavy, and personal.

I’m glad it is. I love these guys. Thanks for conversation, and honesty. Production ...

The conversation heads into a place where we wonder if we're living up to the legacy of our fathers, and what we may leave behind even if it's just these words. We have varying traumatic events, some more than others. Charlie's track is super quiet, sorry about that, but if ya listen at home, or on headphones, you'll hear some stories well worth the attentive ear. ★ S...
