Jim and A.Ron are watching the Watchmen. They’re impressed with what has been a divisive episode and what might end up being a divisive season of television. There is a lot of hidden and some obvious callbacks to the graphic novels and 2007 movie sprinkled throughout. They also discuss squid rain, confidential documents, Ryan Murphy’s latest work in American Hero Story, and the musical Oklahoma.
In the season opener, the Citadel of Ricks was dealt a greivous blow by the Rickest Rick of them all. How have the Ricks of the central finite curve been faring since then? Not great, Bob. After we talk about all the sinister secrets on display, Gustavo Sorola (@sorola), co-founder of Rooster Teeth and host…

We’re started a feature designed to give you a more transparent look into the day to day decisions and inner workings of the Bald Move empire, exclusively for our club members. In honor of one of the all-time great series and the one that gave us our start, we’re calling it Empire Business. It isn’t meant to be a regular weekly feature, it’s more of a “whenever we have something interesting to talk about and remember to turn the mics on” kind of thing. We hope you enjoy it.

Cecily and A.Ron see the dawn for the first time inthe latest episode of FX’s American Horror Story: 1984, “Red Dawn”. They ponder the rules of being a ghost, the consequences of sex, the importance of rad hair and a cheery disposition, and of course, a fun new traveling road show.
Jim and I saw Zombieland: Double Tap tonight, and we are prepared to give it a triple, quad, quint, or whatever amount of Tap required to put this series down for good, because baby… it’s gone bad. We are pretty big fans of the original Zombieland, but it turns out they used up all the imagination, fun, and clever jokes in the first one. I will say that the house I saw the movie in was having a good time, and laughing at/with the movie, and at time of writing it’s boasting a pretty respectable Rotten Tomato score. Maybe there’s something fun here we’re missing? But we recommend you miss it too.
Jim and A.Ron flex their creative muscles and get into the holiday spirit by carving a bulbous orange vegetable. The spirits of darkness are appeased. They discuss their complicated upbringing preventing them from carving pumpkins sooner; the big things happening with business podcasts; ratings and reviews on iTunes; the guys anticipate the first ever Walker Stalker Con; Jim & A.Ron are incredulous about how incredulous the protagonist of Outlander is about sexism; J&A suffer with being perfectionists; and they search for podcast recommendations.
