Welcome to this week’s episode of The Because Show! So much ground to cover, where to begin? Well, we explored the concept of the ‘Rock Cruise’. Have you heard about this? A rock cruise. Does this sound like hell on earth or a slice of paradise? If you have been on one, please call us (818-643-1565) and…
Join Jim and A.Ron as we discuss just what the hell we’ve been up to the past four months and our latest gaming endeavors (including Settlers of Catan, Stratego, Battles of Westeros, Batman Arkham City, and of course, Skyrim). We rant about the ludicrous situation that downloadable patches and locked save games has brought to us, talk a little bit of TV (of course), reminece about our Great War with Personal Arrogants, and read the last feedback we got on the cast way back in August. Jim gives an update on our experiment with a “listener sourced cast”. Finally, A.Ron fulfills a promise to donate some cash to his favorite charity, Child’s Play.
It’s Thursday! Thursday night is the night we record! Thursdays nights are crazy but fun. I leave work and hightail it home through the horrible LA traffic. Finally, I’m home! Now Susan and Amy arrive with their kids and one spouse in tow. We all have a quick bite to eat. There’s time for a…
Writer, performer, mom, rockwife: Jillian Lauren joins us on this episode of The Because Show! Her memoir Some Girls is the best book you’ll ever read about life in a harem. And now her novel Pretty has been published. ”A young woman coming to terms with her boyfriend’s death and her rocky journey to sobriety. Bebe is an ex-everything:…
Jim and A.Ron ponder a few questions looking backward to this past half season and looking forward to the next. Where do the survivors go next? Which was better so far, season one or season two? Can they make the zombies scarier? Then we process some listener feedback and talk comic spoilers in the spoiler…
Why are so many songs about rainbows? And what’s on the other side? We did not ask those questions on this week’s episode of The Because Show, but we asked plenty of other questions. Like, did you know The Muppet Movie has it’s own nail polish collection? Awesome. The colors are gorgeous and the names…
Turns out that the midseason finale went out with a bang. Several dozen, actually! Before we get into the recap, we consider an article from The Atlantic on five ways The Walking Dead can be improved. It’s pretty good, even if you think The Walking Dead is just fine as is. Then we break down…
An unequivocably excellent episode to cap the mid-season off. Now, of course the same things that drive me crazy about certain characters are still driving me crazy, but this episode went and took those “bugs” and made them “features”, to use programming parlance. What I mean by that is that negative character traits, which up…
Welcome to this week’s episode of Watching Dead! Some say this was the best episode of the season, and some say one of the worst. What do Jim and A.Ron think? It might surprise you. We talk about chicken legs, advanced shooting classes, farmer’s ultimatums, the ridiculous, irresponsible way the “morning after” pills were depicted on…
Well, this is the episode where this ridiculous show roped me into another season of watching. Unless they drop the ball really badly, like, say, crash two 737’s into each other over Herschel’s farm, I’m in. There was a lot of silly stuff, to be sure, and I think we should have been at this…
