Summary

Vienna, 1949. Still ravaged by the ravages of the second World War, the once beautiful city is bruised and battered but still standing, hints of her former glory still present even as the Americans, British, French, and Soviets portion her up.  This is the stage for the Third Man, British Noir excellence which has been ranked as variously, "the greatest British film of all time" and "the second best British film ever" ... so it's really good! We explore the twisty world of Harry Lime and chums and along the way learn a little bit about what it was like to make a film in the true golden age of cinema.

Nerds and Slurred Words Manuel Lara and Goyo Lopez A binaural psuedo-intellectual ecstasy-trip that includes two intoxicated overweight gentlemen talking about various liquors and beers, while vainly attempting to stay on nerdy topics.You could also say we’re two mega nerds that love video games, movies, and TV shows you’ve never heard about but HAVE to watch. We also do not have the word “No” in our vocabulary when it comes to drinking and the science behind it. Want to know what your next adventurous request should be at the bar? Tune in (yes, people still say that). You won’t regret it. TLDR; We drink, and we know things. And we google Explicit Patio Chats Patio Chats is a virtual happy hour podcast. We never know where the conversation is going to take us, but we always GO THERE. We’re not experts at a lot of things, but we are experts at sitting on a patio and chatting. We invite you to grab a drink and join in on the conversation. Explicit Gin and Cake Sharon Handy, Joel Bellucci, Doris Conner Gin and Cake is a live-watch exploration of one of the most weirdly popular reality shows on television: The Great British Bake-Off or, as it's known to us here in the US, The Great British Baking Show.In it, generally polite people compete to bake cookies and cake while wandering around a tent on a bucolic English estate, all in pursuit of — a cake plate. Absurd? Yes! Which is probably why we, like so many millions of other people, love it.In this biweekly podcast, we will comment, question, wax rhapsodic, and speculate wildly about things we could probably know if only we weren’t too lazy to look them up on the Internet. There's also a bunch of baking trivia. And a few Star Trek references, because that's never wrong. And we’re going to do it all while sipping delicious adult beverages, and we hope you’ll join us in that, as well.So cue up an episode, mix that drink, and have a listen. It's Gin and Cake time! Explicit Let's Drink Podcast Dave & Mike Do you like to drink? Do you like to relax? Do you like to talk excessively about things you barely know anything about? Well Dave and Mike, the brothers behind the Let's Drink Podcast love to do just that. Let's Drink is a podcast that covers a wide variety of topics, current news, not so current news and philosophy. The best part? Dave and Mike don't really bother researching anything they're talking about! It's all improvised, off the cuff and casual (Seriously, they really only mean about half of the things they say) If you like comfortable conversation, a lofty sense of humor and an extensive love of alcohol then you're invited to listen! Kick back, relax and Let's Drink!We're NOT experts!! Explicit
