January 20, 2023 22:01 - 33 minutes - 30.3 MB

This week on the show that talks about stuff on purpose, we try to get to the bottom of this whole "shoegaze" thing. What is it exactly? What was it? What does it mean to be "shoegaze"? If you know, then this episode might not be for you. If you don't know, then join us on this fascinating journey as we try to figure out what the hell "shoegaze" is. That's pretty much all we're doing this time around. We've heard the term "shoegaze" ten thousand times, but we've never really put a whole lot ...

TRAPPO's Mail Bag #18! (The Batman One)

January 13, 2023 19:16 - 42 minutes - 38.6 MB

The show that talks about you on purpose is talking about BATMAN on purpose this week. That's right, dear listener, this episode is all about the fallout from last September's Super-Controversial Live Action Batman Rankings episode, which got a surprising number of responses from some very passionate fans of The Dark Knight, and we finally decided to respond to them.

December 23, 2022 21:17 - 41 minutes - 37.7 MB

Happy holidays! This week, since it's that special time of year, we're talking about Christmas movies! In a roundabout way. We're actually talking about a lot of the behind-the-scenes machinations behind the made-for-TV holiday movie factory, and how things in this industry have changed since a very big story broke in 2019. It's a story that deals with racism, homophobia, Christian conservatives, and a whole lot of other heavy topics, so if you don't want to deal with that stuff during your ...

This movie is really something special, and since it's that special time of year, we figure you dear listeners de...

In this very spooky edition of the show that talks about you on purpose, we address a bunch of comments left on the old blog that referred to our trio of Halloween-related episodes we released back in October. That's why it's called TRAPPO's "Spooky" Mail Bag, in case you were wondering. We figured we'd just put all those comments together under one roof for your convenience. It's a pretty decent episode, too. Some good feedback. Some funny responses. We have a pretty good little community h...

This Is Not A Review Of "Forgiveness" by Girlpool

November 11, 2022 19:31 - 11 minutes - 10.3 MB

The episode you're listening to is not a review of 2022's Forgiveness by synthpop duo Girlpool. You may think it is at first glance, but we assure you that's not what this is. Sure, we may discuss Forgiveness for a few minutes, but that hardly qualifies as a review. We also discuss Allegoria, the feature film debut from hard rock musician-turned-filmmaker Spider One, who is also the younger brother of Rob Zombie. Allegoria is currently streaming on SHUDDER. But we don't review Allegoria, eit...

October 21, 2022 20:57 - 1 hour - 77.2 MB

It's spooky season, and so we've decided to record a lengthy chat on the recent Hellraiser reboot for Hulu this week on the show that talks about stuff on purpose! And I do mean lengthy. This week's episode isn't quite our longest yet, but it's very close, so fair warning.

Essential Albums LIGHTNING ROUND!

October 07, 2022 20:14 - 52 minutes - 48.4 MB

Welcome to season two of the show that talks about stuff on purpose! TRAPPO is back with our next round of essential albums, but we're not just doing the same old boring thing we did to kick off our first season. That would be a waste of time. Instead of doing five albums each, we're each bringing TEN albums to the table in this ridiculously overstuffed LIGHTNING ROUND conversation! We may have gone a little overboard, but we managed to keep things in check this time around, we promise. It's...

September 16, 2022 22:48 - 17 minutes - 16.2 MB

TRAPPO's Mail Bag has returned for its unlucky 13th installment! And to celebrate this momentous occasion, we're keeping things light with a shorter episode. I know that's not terribly exciting for you, dear listener, but we weren't exactly keeping track of the numbers here. And let's be honest, is the 13th installment of anything really that big a deal? Anyway, this time around we're talking about legendary avant-garde jazz musician Miles Davis, deranged indie rock band Starcrawler, the pos...

The Super-Controversial Live Action Batman Rankings Episode!

September 02, 2022 18:38 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MB

This time around, we're trying something a bit different here by taking a closer look at all of the live action Batman movies. All of the live action Batman solo movies, so none of the Zack Snyder stuff here, and no discussion of the various animated incarnations of the Caped Crusader either. But don't lose hope, because those might just be topics of future episodes. Your hosts will each be sharing their personal rankings of all these movies, from worst to first, and as the title suggests, t...

It's time for a debate! We here at TRAPPO, the show that talks about stuff on purpose, have noticed you dear listeners have been asking us to talk about 2014's Black Widow from alt-metal superstars In This Moment for a while now, and we've finally gotten off our lazy butts and done just that! But we couldn't just handle this particular subject with a standard "spotlight" episode. No, the passion among you all is too big for something so limited.

On this week's episode, we're revealing the results of our recent poll, which gave you dear listeners the choice to pick the next record we discuss!

That's right, the final poll results were a tie between 2017's Masseduction by St. Vincent (AKA Annie Clark) and 2019's All Mirrors by Angel Olsen. So we decided to talk about both landmark musical works... just not on the same episode. No, we believe that both records deserve th...
