300・Unsafe at Any Arthouse Patience-Testing Speed
We get real digressive with it on this one, all of course in tribute to those who died for our sins. Like my sin of making us watch a three hour Romanian arthouse movie about a family arguing, in part, about 9/11. A film that asks: Will they ever get to eat dinner, or what? We share personal...

290・Sprinting Through Metal Detectors and Forgetting It All Just as Quickly
After a week off and a delayed upload, we're back and accidentally illustrating how insanely fast the news cycle operates. We discuss our IRL meet up in LA and then... May Day: Thanks for doing anything at all. / The real criminals taste justice, while the grotesque and sclerotic captains of...
-
289・In This House We Believe in the Immortal Science
A time constraint caused us to digress against the clock as hard we we could, and we were joined by Cinema/Canada Correspondent, Cole ["COLES I Need COLES!"] to discuss the 2009 film that time never even remembered to forget: The Trotsky. A tonally confused movie about a high school kid who…

287・An Eleventh Hour Pivot to All That Newz

260・Every Accusation is a Failed Entertainment
