S2:E62 – Godsmack “I Stand Alone” Music Video
November 30, 2018 08:00 - 47.8 MBMan, those Brendan Fraser Mummy movies were pretty good, huh? Surely there’s no increasingly less relevant series of spin-offs that could detract from their inherent quality. Right? What about a prequel starring Dwayne Johnson as a goofy CG monster? What about a Godsmack music video based on the Dwayne Johnson prequel only briefly featuring pre-recorded… Read more S2:E62 – Godsmack “I Stand Alone” Music Video
S2:E61 – POKÉMON Detective Pikachu Trailer
November 23, 2018 08:00 - 47.5 MBClose up, Danny DeVito. He is crying. Slowly the camera zooms in on a single pore. A tear, now massive at such a small focus, erupts into the scene, leaving a smeary, moistened trail. Now the camera zooms back and the wet epidermis is the ocean, home to a host of aquatic Danny DeVitos which… Read more S2:E61 – POKÉMON Detective Pikachu Trailer
S2:E60 – John Cena Presents: SKYY Blue
November 16, 2018 08:00 - 43.2 MBThere’s a lot of John Cena media out there. Some of it is what passes for good in this wretched year of 2018. Some of it…less so. This commercial is the latter. Three John Cenas engage in a dangerously patriotic Backstreet Boys pantomime to push liquor and we are both aghast and mesmerized. If you… Read more S2:E60 – John Cena Presents: SKYY Blue

S2:E57 – Matlock TV Opening
October 26, 2018 07:00 - 33 MBWeeeeelllll Matlock may just be a poor country lawyer, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t like money. In fact, it may be his favorite thing. He’s never going to get ahead in life if he keeps taking cases on the barter system though. Try as you might, you’re never going to make it by accepting… Read more S2:E57 – Matlock TV Opening
S2:E56 – Nokia N-Gage Commercial
October 19, 2018 18:18 - 30.4 MBWhen it comes to devices that you talk exclusively out of the side of, the Nokia N-Gage was in a class of its own. If you deep fried one and placed it beside a chalupa, you would probably take at least a bite before regretting it immediately. If you had more than one game, you… Read more S2:E56 – Nokia N-Gage Commercial
S2:E55 – Goldeneye Opening
October 12, 2018 07:00 - 28.9 MBWelcome to the Facility, try our lovely lettuce! Now that James Bond has that one guy in it, Goldeneye is positively a classic.

S2:E54 – Val Venis Wrestling Intro
October 05, 2018 07:00 - 30.8 MBVal Venis was a wrestler that was deeply understood. Some might think that Val Venis was nothing more than a lover boy, getting his kicks on the road.

S2:E53 – On the Rark Music Video
September 21, 2018 07:00 - 30.7 MBIs it possible to debate your way into love? Can you start with a machete and end with peace? Is gravy truly the lubrication of society?

S2:E49 – Venus Gillette Razor Commercial
August 24, 2018 07:00 - 55.4 MBFar before the terrible alcohol-focused decision making of 2012, the good people at the Gillette corporation launched into the world a commercial. For a women’s razor. That got an unloved Bananarama song some radio airplay. Actually, the commercial may have used a previous version of the song. No, not that version, the other one. The… Read more S2:E49 – Venus Gillette Razor Commercial
S2:E48 – The Brady Bunch TV Opening
August 17, 2018 07:00 - 35 MBIf there was some metaphysical trend line for Brady familiarity, like some glittering string of yarn laid across a topographical map of the twentieth century whose hills and valleys represented the whole of Brady gnosis, surely the peaks would rise above the 1970s and their temporal twin, the 1990s. Atop those lofty spires, the Bradys… Read more S2:E48 – The Brady Bunch TV Opening
S2:E47 – DAISY IS IN SUPER SMASH BROS!!!!!
August 10, 2018 08:00 - 32.3 MBHello. I am Daisy. And if we all look deep within us, aren’t we all Daisy?

S2:E46 – The Legend of Zelda Cartoon Opening
August 03, 2018 07:00 - 36.8 MBIn many ways The Legend of Zelda cartoon is inevitable. Just like certain novelty bongs and print-on-demand t-shirts, this feels like it was spun into life by some algorithm skimming popular topics and combining them to see what worked. At least we didn’t have to wake up early to watch it every morning, though. We… Read more S2:E46 – The Legend of Zelda Cartoon Opening
S2:E45 – Frasier Ending Theme
July 27, 2018 07:00 - 50.5 MBFrasier ran for an amazing eleven seasons on broadcast television, exploring the future (or past!) of the titular hero and Cheers ensemble member.

S2:E42 – DOOM E1M1 Speedrun
July 06, 2018 06:00 - 38.3 MBDOOM is a video game that really, really doesn’t want you to look around. 30 seconds par for its first level? It’s basically a digital “No Loitering” sign.

S2:E40 – The Elder Scrolls VI Teaser
June 15, 2018 07:00 - 32.1 MBWe are not immune to the siren call of E3.

S2:E39 – On This Perfect Burger
June 08, 2018 05:00 - 54.5 MBSome years ago, noted man Nick Divers posted this video to Instagram and Tumblr and marginally increased the value of this communications medium known as the internet.

S2:E38 – Mathnasium Transformations Commercial
June 01, 2018 08:00 - 30.3 MBI’m sure…I’m sure the Mathnasium advertising department meant well. I’m sure someone very intelligent thought these animated characters would help kids connect with math.

S2:E37 – Final Fantasy The Spirits Within Trailer
May 25, 2018 08:00 - 34.6 MBRiding high on the success of the Playstation era Final Fantasy games, Squaresoft bet the farm on an experimental form of realistic CG storytelling about a decade before the technology was really ready for it.

S2:E34 – Pat’s Chili Dogs Commercial featuring Cinderella
May 04, 2018 08:00 - 58.4 MBWere it not for the inclusion of moderately popular 80s hair metal band Cinderella, this local chili dog stand commercial might have been lost to time.

S2:E32 – Karate Kid Cartoon Opening
April 20, 2018 08:00 - 55.1 MBKarate Kid was perhaps the apex of 90s karate mania. Sure, you had your Death Wishes and your Three Ninjas, but none of them drove their karate chops so far into our collective brains as Karate Kid.

April 06, 2018 08:00 - 40.6 MBHey everyone! Unfortunately, all attempts to have a new episode ready to be digested by your ears (Ew) failed this week.

This week, we… Read more S2:E26 – Kiss from a Rose Music Video
S2:E25 – The Screen Savers TV Opening
February 23, 2018 09:00 - 34.8 MBThere was a time, not all that long ago, that a cable channel might consider running a three-to-four hour block of computer tech tips.

S2:E24 – Juicy Fruit Commercial
February 16, 2018 09:00 - 34 MBDid Juicy Fruit create extreme sports or did extreme sports create Juicy Fruit? Philosophers will endlessly debate the question, never bothering to learn that Juicy Fruit was first launched in 1893 and that the creation of extreme sports probably had nothing to do with the gum. This classic 80s Juicy Fruit commercial is at the… Read more S2:E24 – Juicy Fruit Commercial
S2:E23 – MathMan: Multiples of 6
February 09, 2018 09:00 - 33 MBAfter our abysmal math performance in the recent Beverly Hills 90210 episode, listener muteKi suggested that we might need a refresher course in very basic arithmetic and submitted this episode of MathMan, a sketch from the educational PBS show Square One.

S2:E22 – Dragon Ball Z TV Opening
February 02, 2018 09:30 - 35.2 MBDragon Ball Z seems to be bubbling its way up a lot lately. Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s the new show, or maybe it has something to do with the radical sequel to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s magnum opus: The Scarlet Letter Z. Before we get there, though, we’ve got to fulfill the destiny we created for… Read more S2:E22 – Dragon Ball Z TV Opening

S2:E17 – Darbian’s Super Mario Brothers Speedrun World Record
December 29, 2017 09:00 - 36.4 MBWhat does it cost to save the princess in less than five minutes? How many lives must be destroyed? Must the very rules of nature be bent?
