Bald Move Pulp - The Wire – Omar Comin’ – Commissioned Podcast

Hey there, A.Ron here with a very special commissioned podcast with a unique history and focus.  First, thanks to Andrew Stannard for using Subbable to make this all possible, and for working with us patiently on the format of the podcast.

Andrew wanted us to talk about The Wire.  The problem is, I’ve got massive plans for a Ultimate Badass Criterion Sapphire The Wire Podcast, and I didn’t want to take his money to release an inferior version.  So, we compromised.  We’d record a podcast about his favorite character, Omar Little, and we’d highlight two episodes that showcase a particular facet of the character, all without doing any major spoilers. I selected episode 206, “All Prologue”, and 306, “Homecoming”, to show off Omar at his best, and Omar at one of his lowest points.  Along the way Jim and I gush about The Wire, why we love it, why it can be hard at times to love, why Omar is such an important character for The Wire in general and pop culture at large, and talk about our favorite moments from these two episodes.  I also divulge some details about my upcoming The Wire podcast series, and why it’s taking so damn long.

Bald Move Pulp - “The Americans” 101 & 102 – Commissioned Podcast

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!

Bald Move Pulp - Murphy’s Law

Hello again!  Thanks to uber-fan Chike for using Subbable to commission us to do a custom podcast for the first two episodes of the BBC’s Murphy’s Law, series three!  A gritty crime drama featuring James Nesbitt as Thomas Murphy, an undercover police officer involved in a series of investigations of the UK’s underworld.  If you like thick Irish accents, even thicker handlebar mustaches, and witticisms like, “you’d eat the balls of a skunk” and “a bird in hand leaves shite on the palm”, you’ll love Murphy’s Law.  What did Jim and A.Ron think?  Find out!
