The year is 1994 and Tom Hanks is trying to redefine his funny-man image and there’s nothing less funny than AIDS. Join us for the first mainstream Hollywood film about the AIDS epidemic starring Tom Hanks as a gay man who believes he was wrongfully terminated for his disease and Denzel Washington, the homophobic lawyer who decides to defend him.
Three years after his star turn in Titanic, Leonardo DiCaprio returns to the silver screen in The Beach, a movie where it’s hard to tell what is real and what may be hallucinated. Leo’s descent into insanity marks the end of his teenage heartthrob roles. Once you get beyond the 2000-era fashion, the movie poses enough platitudes and questions to consider the possible metaphors under the madness.

There’s a strong theme developing this week on the walking dead about the costs of protecting yourself or others but we’re not quite sure The Walking Dead has a strong enough foundation to lay it on. Join us for the podcast to hear our full thoughts.

Lunchtime! Happy April Fools’ Day! Bad April Fools’ Day? Do we wish people April Fools’ Day? On this week’s lunch episode, we’ll answer those questions and more, such as “Pokémon is cool, but why do people like Gengar so much?” Jim, the world’s oldest millennial, weighs in on Kitchen Nightmares and A.Ron ponders the question “Can a journey be emotionally fulfilling if it never ends?” Join us for our takes on popular TV and the niche shows flying under the radar with tons of random stuff in between.
There are things that we like, and there are things that are weird. Join us as we discuss the benefits of Old Trek being an episodic show and the challenges Picard faces because it is serialized.
The Truman Show is an amazing movie that was successful despite its marketing and its star, Jim Carrey, being an unknown dramatic quantity. And as good as it was in 1998, it might be even better today. Join us for a tale of a man who lives in a world of deceit, surveillance, embedded ads and science-fiction-sized wave machines.
It’s a dash for cash this week on The Walking Dead 1114 “The Rotten Core” as Sebastian sends Daryl and Rosita on a mission to break into a fortified panic room and a much flimsier safe. What purpose does cash serve in a world devastated by a zombie virus? Join us as we speculate about that and a whole lot more.

Lunchtime! We talk a little more about robes before getting on to big announcements in A.Ron’s life, which leads to a discussion of our first cars. Then we answer listener questions such as what Star Trek race we would want to be.
Unlike many other, actual awards shows that are taken seriously by the industry, we’re not content to merely rip open some envelopes and throw some confetti and that’s that. Oh, no. We sweat the details and record audio and video of all the debates Jim and A.Ron have had to arrive at the final winners.
