Mike and Matt Entertainment MasterOfCoin (Title is just a placeholder)Welcome to a new podcast created by my brother and I where we discuss the movies, anime, and tv shows that we have both watched. Each episode will be an in-depth recap of the plot, characters, and our overall enjoyment of the season or movie. So, please like and subscribe for more episodes every Monday! Explicit Witches & Dicks Evelyn Archer & Lucy Neptune There’s something a bit supernatural to detectives and there’s a bit of the private d*ck in a witch. Veronica Mars removes hexes. Willow Rosenberg solves crimes. Join pals Evelyn Archer and Lucy Neptune as they plunge into these mysterious waters and have a chinwag about Witches, Murder Mysteries, Private Detectives (and sometimes people who are actual d***s). Lucy is a tenacious puzzle solver, and Evelyn has watched enough Murder She Wrote to start her own detective agency. So join us for a cackling good time as we explore the places where Mysteries Collide. Explicit Everybody Loves Movies Kana and Grim A couple friends have fun talking about movies. Each week hosts Kana & Grim Weed have a chat about the movie they just watched. They aren’t critics. They aren’t celebrities. They’re just a couple average people talking about movies. As they are fond of saying, “We aren’t competent, but we know what we like.” Explicit All the Grief Rebecca Luttrell & Andrea Giron Mathern A  podcast for everyone touched by grief - which, as our hosts figure, is all the humans. Hosted by Rebecca and Andrea, a therapist and a social scientist whose friendship deepened when they were connected by each having lost their father. Through the shared bond of being in “the club no one wants to be in,” they explored death, connection, mortality, and life. As they watched grief be bottled up around them they decided to bring grief to light and continue to explore all the ways that we, all the humans, experience it. They hope to inspire honest dialogue, create connections, and obliterate the loneliness that can come from the societal pressure to hold it alone. We hope you’ll join the conversation. Explicit
