Merry Christmas from Jim and Me! 2014 was a huge year for us, as we transitioned to podcasting full time. This year alone, we released 246 podcasts, and they have been downloaded just under 2.8 million times. And we survived and didn’t go bankrupt! Holy shit, that’s amazing. As we spend time with our families and…
Super fan Keith Fisher commissioned this podcast on Subbable as a Christmas present for his lovely wife, as it is one of her all time favorite movies. I feel like I’m sliding a large lump of coal down her stocking (hey now!) because it was not Jim and I’s favorite movie. But still, we gave it the Bald Move treatment! Are you in the mood for a heartwarming story of a megalomaniac orphan spiritually and emotionally enslaved by a shut in old couple, as she seeks death in ever more creative ways while lashing out in rages against old ladies and class clowns? As if this tale weren’t already dark enough, how will this sleepy Canadian community deal with the pedophilic school teacher in their midst? Will Matthew’s old heart be able to take it?! (Spoiler alert: It will not.) So, Merry Christmas, Keith’s wife! Put down the chalk board and climb down from the roof’s edge, I’m sure the rest of your presents will be better…
Merry Christmas! Our re-watch of season 2 rolls on with episode 205, “Breakage”. We discuss panic attacks, grills, machismo, maintaining “the hand” in extra-legal activities, health care politics, and just how many dudes you can expect to nail you in any given lifetime. All that, plus feedback and our patent pending spoiler section. See you next week!

The boys share presents for each other and from family and friends while kicking back some winter ales.
Jim and A.Ron do another deep dive into the world of Coppola’s The Godfather, this time looking at Part II, which celebrates it’s 40th anniversary tomorrow. A darker, more brooding, more intricate film that it’s predecessor, we struggle to answer the question, which is better? Along the way we play a lot of what if’s and comparisons. Clemenza or Pentangeli? Vito or Michael? Brando or De Niro? When did Vito decide to be the Don? What is Tom and Michael’s relationship at the end? Where did Michael go wrong? DID Michael go wrong? All this and much more is contemplated in this mammoth two hour podcast, for your holiday enjoyment. Hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it.
Cecily and A.Ron bring a little Christmas cheer to an episode with a jet black send off for it’s two week hiatus. We discuss wayward boys, tattoos and hair removal, Elsa’s dubious act of charity, and discuss the worst characters in AHS history. All this plus a smattering of feedback and a teeny, tiny little spoiler section. Enjoy, and happy holidays!
This is a downer of an episode, for sure. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is being an a-hole to everyone else. Some for understandable, legitimate episodes, some for less clear reasons. Jim and A.Ron, leading experts at a-hole-ism, break it down for you as they discuss Walt’s obvious, desperate breakfasts, Skyler’s gamesmanship, Walt Jr’s Flynn’s rebellion, and Jesse bluing himself. All this, your feedback, AND a robust, over-sized spoiler section!
Jim, A.Ron and an 8 year old boy throw down on Interstellar, Snowpiercer, and Big Hero 6. I’ll leave it up to you to figure out who talks what.
As a special holiday treat, Jim and A.Ron cover one of their all time favorite movies, The Godfather. Be on the look out for their follow up of Godfather II coming out this Friday!
We got a lot of things we weren’t expecting out of American Horror Story in this episode 410, “Tupperware Party Massacre”. Things like audible fapping, the human wreckage of Drunk Jimmy, and a complete lack of song and dance. But we got a lot of good stuff too, primarily in Sarah Paulson’s riveting performance as both Bett and Dott as they come to terms with their shared lives and loves. But it still feels like something is missing. You feeling us on this? Let us know in the feedback section!
