Tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of Christopher Nolan’s dreamscape heist film, Inception. We covered it immediately after its initial release and 10 years later we’re back to do it all over again. I assume we’ll hit level three in about 90 more years and come back from limbo to cover it one final time, but until then check out our 2nd podcast review of this film.
This week we examine Kevin Costner’s 100% efficient digestive tract, online schooling, conspiracy theories we flirted with, what we think about the name “Bald Move” 10 years in, and a ton of other listener questions.
This week A.Ron is prepping for Beaver Island, we debate the cutoff date for leftover 4th of July fireworks, Jim loves Sense8, A.Ron hates The Matrix: Reloaded, we both love John Wick, and the conversation spirals out of control when we wonder what it would be like to die on the slo-mo drug from Dredd.
We seem to be on a Vietnam kick with a couple of our movie choices lately. Oliver Stone’s 1989 adaptation of Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic’s autobiography of the same name, recounting his journey from a combat-thirsty young man to a disabled anti-war activist, is worthy of the two academy awards it won. Join us for a discussion about the film, this American folly, and its lingering effects on our society today.
What Comes After might be the best episode of the season thus far but we still have some big questions. Join us as we ponder them, as well as a special announcement at the end of the episode. A big thank you to Mysteriana for creating the Watching Dead theme music. Find all of their…
This week marks the 25th anniversary of the release of Apollo 13. It was a movie A.Ron and I loved back then and we were pleasantly surprised to see how well it held up. Join us for a discussion of the film, the real Apollo missions, the future of space exploration, and beyond.
We’ve seen all of Kingdom season 2 now and we’re ready to talk about it. We also have a Patreon question about our thoughts on Legion and some discussion about A.ron’s experience with The Last of Us 2.
In an episode of The Walking Dead that’s good enough to please no one, it’s all about whether you’re going to make Negan a martyr and whether Daryl and Rick can climb out of their desperate pit of emotion. I dunno. Daryl’s sidewalls are pretty high and Rick’s roots are as shaky as Negan’s grip on sanity.
A.Ron talks about his Father’s Day experience, including a few confessions. Jim repairs his Aeron (not a typo). Potential new holidays to replace broken ones. The politics of being apolitical. Freestyle canoeing. Last of Us 2 thoughts, and much more.
