A.Ron said that he rented a bungalow somewhere so he’s out of town this week which means we have an abridged version of the psychosphere. Also, the episode didn’t give us much to go on. But it does still have a lot of great stuff to talk about and we cover a good chunk of it.
Hey everybody, as I explain on this mini-cast, we had some scheduling issues and host illnesses that ultimately led me to have to put the podcast on hiatus for one week. This means there will be no new OitNB podcasts this week, but we will be roaring back Wednesday, July 15th, with episode 307. The…

Thanks to Jefferson Betmarik for making us pull 1999’s The Matrix off our shelves and talk about it. This movie was directed by the Wachowski siblings, and stars Keanu Reeves, Lawerence Fishburne, and Carrie-Anne Moss among others. Jim and I have watched this movie so much, and spent so much time talking about it over the years, so it’s no surprise that we were able to easily fill 1:20 with our personal thoughts and observations. What surprised is was how many new thoughts and ideas we had from our latest watch. We had a lot of fun revisiting the movie, and I hope you get a kick out of listening.
A.Ron is joined by Pi’ilani, podcaster for hire (appearances include The Because Show, The Walking Dead ‘Cast, among many others) to break down episode 304 of Orange is the New Black, “Finger in the Dyke”. A.Ron and Pi’ilani discuss Big Boo’s origin story, some touching moments between quasi-step-sisters Susanne and Tastee, a bunch of dumb crap with Alex and Piper, as well as the same with Daya and Bennett. All this against the backdrop of Litchfield being investigated by a company that is interested in privatizing the prison. Plot twist; every female inmate that is biologically capable of menstruation is on her period. Bum, bum, DUMMMMM!
After seeing the premiere, Jim & A.Ron are lukewarm on the premiere but still on board and ready for the dots to connect. The psychosphere is a little more subtle but still in full effect. Check out the podcast for our thoughts, your feedback and a big ol’ sniff of that LA smog psychosphere.
A.Ron is joined for this episode by Kelly of Up Yours, Downstairs! fame! They hate-recap Piper and Alex’s hate-f&%$ing, discuss the human wreckage that is Nicky in this episode, the improbably burgeoning relationship between Red and Healy, and Caputo blackmailing Fig to avoid having to face the prison closing.
