    Mooney’s Musings Ep. 2: The Importance of Freeze Peach

    On this latest installment of Mooney's Musings, we ask the question: What exactly IS freedom of speech? This inalienable right is one that's held dear in this country and truly separates us from other places where citizens can't freely exercise that right. But what does it mean to exercise that right in this day and age? Can one be held responsible for how their words affect others? How does each of us define this? We will get into these questions and more as we're breaking out all the frozen peaches here for your listening pleasure on Mooney's Musings!

    Mooney’s Musings Ep. 1: An Intro to Numericism

    “On this episode, we’re taking things in a different direction as we get heady with my cohost JuanyB. Numbers. For as long as we've been around, we have used them to measure and quantify things in the world around us. Numbers help us make sense of the reality in which we inhabit. This idea, called “Numericism”, posits that society’s over-reliance on numbers and stats can lead to those same numbers and stats being manipulated and used for ulterior motives. It’s an out-of-the-box concept, and thankfully, JuanyB has it all figured out. In this episode, we’ll begin to unpack what this concept is and its occurrence in many facets of life from government to sports. So join us as we get heady and a little drunk as we explore the depths of my cohost’s mind in a new series we like to call Mooney’s Musings.”

    The name's Bond...James Bond...but there was also that one time it was also "George...George Lazenby"; But we don't talk about that one. For over 60 years, the icon of the silver screen has been on numerous adventures (and women...so...many...women) all around the globe with each iteration of the character making an impact on us as an audience.

    Style Over Substance: The Substance (2024) Review ft. Jackie Legs

    They say beauty is only skin deep. Sure. But what if you could bottle it and sell it to anyone willing to pay the price…..oh and the price is your eventual gruesome death. Gotta read those terms and conditions, folks. We saw the Oscar-nominated film The Substance, starring Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley and directed by Coralie Fargeat. What were our overall thoughts? Is Demi Moore a shoo-in for the Oscar? Just how much shrimp did Dennis Quaid eat while filming this movie, and why is it gross? Also, at the behest of our overlord Mark “The Cuck” Zuckerberg (the nickname was, oddly enough, his idea), we’re getting some much needed, feminine energy up in here as we welcome first-time guest Jackie Legs to the show! We’re all dolled up for the big show, so join us for all the Cronenberg references you can handle on this episode of It Was Mooney!

We’ll give our thoughts on what felt like a "breather" episode after the wildness of last week's, as it gave us plenty to theorize and speculate on. Why is Helly so jelly? And yes, we know it rhymes. How long will Mr. Milkshake (actual name) put up with Lumen's increased demands of him? Plus, are Burt and Irving the best "it couple" since Bert and Ernie?

    Ayyy 24: The A24 Cinematic Universe Theory Episode ft. Eric
