Ah jeeze, for prestige this week we’re talking Fargo. Now that’s the 1996 cinematic version doncha know. Though of course, we also end up talking about the FX Series, too. We love Coen brothers movies in general and this one in particular.
For the past few years, The Expanse has been a big part of our Christmas season. It’s been like the giant present sitting under our tree each and every December, waiting for us to unwrap it, brightening our winters. When we were planning our coverage of this final season, we kept wondering, what would Christmas be like in the universe that Dan and Ty have created? We kept turning the idea over in our minds, and this audio-drama A Very Belter Christmas is the result!

We’ve got your second Merry Scary Christmas present ready to unwrap! It’s the 2015 horror comedy, Krampus! If you’ve never heard of the concept of Krampus, the shadowy counterpart to Santa who punishes naughty children, this film is a fun introduction to the ancient myth. It’s got a great cast including Adam Scott and Toni Collette. Join us for the podcast to hear our full breakdown.
The Expanse is back for it’s final season and so is Beltalowda. Join us for the podcast to hear how we felt about rejoining the crew of the Rocinante six months later.

Christmastime!
Today we’ve got Witness, the 1985 Harrison Ford-led visual guide to becoming Amish. In truth, it’s a romance film clad in suspenders, a milking hat, and the trappings of a noir thriller. The podcast was a lot of fun to record and hopefully just as much fun to listen to, especially if you want to hear about A.Ron’s father’s irrational dread of grain entrapment.

Christmastime! We’re kicking off our Christmas celebrations this week with my big announcement that I’m moving AGAIN! Then we talk about the trials and tribulations of our first experience playing the board game “Root” together, our strategy on buying and selling used cars, and this year’s Christmas project (because we’re just not busy enough this holiday season), A Very Belter Christmas, as well as a whole slew of other things, courtesy of questions from our incredible fans. Come get extra “festive” with us this Christmas!
The French Connection, starring Gene Hackman as a narcotics officer playing a hunch to stop an international drug buy, is a classic for its kinetic chase scenes, not necessarily for its well-realized characters or compelling plot. Join us for the podcast to find out how it holds up over 50 years after its release.
