Waking Life (2001)

Special thanks to Michael Kessler for using Subbable to commission his very own custom Podcast!  But we’re getting ahead of ourselves… Is this a podcast?  Is it a dream?  Will it’s connected consciousness evolve in a more enlightened, compassionate, sharing direction, or will it just want set itself on fire, scream into a megaphone to empty streets, or cut off eyelids and put out cigars on eyeballs?  Do you dream?  Do you remember your dreams?  Can you dream lucidly?  Have you ever been stuck in a dream?  Jim and A.Ron ponder all this and more in a very trippy recap to a very trippy movie/experience, Richard Linklater’s 2001, “Waking Life”.

Special thanks to Brian G. for commissioning this custom podcast using our Subbable subscription system!  Brian decided to have us take a peek at FX’s The Americans, episodes 101 and 102, “Pilot” and “The Clock”, and we were only too happy to oblige.  The Americans is a taut, well made, great looking, and stylish thriller set in the heydey of the Reagan Administration revolving around two Russian intelligence agents deeply embedded as American civilians.  What did we like?  What didn’t we like?  Listen and find out!  Thanks again, Brian!

Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem: A Klok Opera

Special thanks to listener Joel Warner who commissioned this podcast through our Subbable subscription system!  This time A.Ron and Jim view the mid-season rock opera, “The Doomstar Requiem”.  We found it a lot harder to enjoy the Klok’s metal fueled concert ways in a single concentrated, extra length dose, despite admiring the concept and execution. We wish there were less slurpies, herpes, and brotherly love, and more senseless death, property destruction, and blatant disregard for fellow human beings.

516 – “Felina” – A.Ron’s “Instant Take” Review

I don’t know what the reaction is from the critics, or even a sizable sample of the Breaking Bad fandom, but from our little room in Anderson, Indiana, everyone seemed to really dig the finale, as did everyone on our Facebook thread. I outlined at the beginning of this season what I was hoping the…

514 – “Ozymandias” – A.Ron’s “Instant Take” Review

Breaking Bad returned to form, once again proving that it’s worth grinding your gears a little to get to the “good stuff”.  In this case, the “good stuff” was really, really bad, awful in places, but it was some of the best damned television I’ve ever watched. What else can you say about an hour…

513 – “To’hajiilee” – A.Ron’s “Instant Take” Review

In the final analysis, Walt’s empire business has crumbled all because Huell, card carrying member of Saul’s “A-Team”, hasn’t heard Bald Move’s standing Public Service Announcement, “Don’t Ever Talk to Caps, Man, For Real.”  Walt tried to do Los Pollos Hermanos on the cheap, and from the start Vamanos Pest Control has plagued by problems…
