    Sometimes mysteries get solved, and we sit back and smile as Dr. House, Jessica Fletcher and Sherlock get the “ah-ha!” at the end. (Colombo too!) But once in a while, a mystery sits there, like a week old banana staring you in the face, saying “I’m still not SOLVED!” That’s where Robert Stack and...

  10. 40 Going On 14: episode 343

    Music is important part of our lives. As advocates of audio awesomeness, we felt it was time to discuss our favorite albums.

  11. 40 Going On 14: episode 342

    At this point in our lives, there’s no way we’d pass as high schoolers, nor would we want too. However, the fine folks at ’21 Jump Street’ would! Or would they?

    I think all of us have, at one point or another, wished we were younger or older than we currently are.

    ‘Veronica Mars’ is a show that had such a cult following that it was able to raise enough money to produce a film, after it had been previously cancelled.

    With the realization that this was going to be our 314th episode of this podcast, we felt that we would be remiss if we didn’t do a PI show. However, the thought of us talking about PI or just counting off the digits after 3.14, seemed kind of like a bad idea. During this discussion about PI, we...

    The 70’s were a weird time. A time full of rapping, kung fu masters, dressed like pimps and loving the ladies. One of the legends of that time is none other than this week’s topic: Dolemite! Rudy Ray Moore took an idea that was born of a different time, cleaned it up and made it into an icon.…

    Puppets. We’ve all played with them as a child, but very few (if any) of us turned them into a career. This is one man in our lifetime that stands out as being one of a kind in that field; I’m talking about Jim Henson. This week, we’re taking a hard left turn in his career and turning into a show...

    There comes a time in everyone’s life where they put away their childish things and take on the mantle of adulthood.
