Show #83 - The Broken Umbrella

Stop whatever you're doing and listen to this episode right now. Why, you ask? Because you have some feelings of self-loathing and a need to punish yourself, yes, but also! to experience a momentous Little Snack first: the 'Lith and the Trap hear -- and then immediately react to -- shocking Batman movie news ...DURING THE CAST! Exciting, I know! And they talk about a bunch of other stuff, too. Hope you enjoy this one at a little over an hour. Discussed: how the St. Louis Arch is kind of like Monolith's nemesis, a new comic book series is suggested to Monolith that depicts his greatest fear and in response Monolith implies that Bear Trap is an overgrown child, a promising Little Snack topic is researched and found wanting, the most hoity-toity Word of the Week to date is revealed, the success of John Oliver's run on 'The Daily Show', some guesses are made as to why 'The Jeselnik Offensive' is one of the funniest shows on TV, thoughts on the final season of 'Futurama', live, breaking and highly consequential movie news  (sorry, you didn't get out of this one with no Batman), the one redeeming quality of 'True Blood's recent season finale as well as interesting news regarding just who exactly watched this season... by himself, the quality-status of 'Dexter' in its final season, the truth (if there is any) behind a list of peculiar (and often borderline criminal) sex acts a la 'the Rusty Trombone', a new entry is added to the list, and then to close the show some thoughts on the first two episodes of 'Breaking Bad's final run of eight. Enjoy it.

Show #82 - Stubble Rub, Snowballs, and Sleep-Talking

Technical difficulties very nearly forced your intrepid podcasters to throw in the towel and post just half a podcast today. Imagine the horror: only one hour of new Snack this week. But they were undaunted by these technical snafus and found a new way to record their jibber jabber giving you a nearly two-hour episode (they think it's about 2 hours -- with all the different recordings that need to be cobbled together they won't know for sure until it's all done but it feels like 2-ish)! All the half-formed thoughts, uninformed opinions, dumb jokes and meandering monologues you've come to expect are here. So while your finger hovers over the mouse deciding whether to click 'Play', let's see what these dopes talked about, shall we? Discussed: a Word of the Week that sounds a bit like a sign of the Zodiac if you mumble it, Sanjay Gupta's ganja flip-flop, a Monolith Moment remembers one of Hollywood's recently departed, a flurry of opinions on trailers as 'The Counselor', 'Her', and 'Monuments Men''s trailers are critiqued, Bear Trap goes on and on about e-books again, the Snack's listeners are implored to watch a recent episode of 'Colbert Report', an update on Apple's new iOS, a word about how things just got a little worse for death row inmates in Texas, and an important reminder about Sunday night's historic TV event. Hope you enjoy.

Show #81 - If It Ain't Bendin'

I tried to stop them, but it was no use. They did another one. Here it is. 
Discussed: Monolith shocks the world when he reveals whether 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' is a good or a bad movie, Channing Tatum's screen-time in the film, Jimmy Kimmel's mildly amusing music video about Channing's name, whether the movie was fun the way playing with GIJoes was fun back in the day, a brief word on the Rock, 'Oblivion', what the trailer gives away and what it only appears to give away, the promise of suckage that is the 'Paranoia' trailer, Liam Hemsworth's prospects for a career as a leading man, because you demanded it Monolith weighs in on the first fifteen minutes of 'Tower Heist', the most recent Brett Rattner imbroglio is summarized, the 'Walter Mitty' trailer, why Bear Trap finds Sean Penn to be a bit off-putting, a bright but ephemeral Word of the Week, Bear Trap has a bit more to say about 'The Wolverine' and the importance of casting, the teaser trailer for season five of 'Breaking Bad', an Ask Me Anything (AMA) on Reddit done by Giancarlo Esposito (Gus Fring) reveals some important facts regarding the writing of the show, and Bear Trap is frustrated in his search for the life-like Walter White mask Cranston wore to Comic-con. At just a little over an hour, this one should go down easy. Well, quickly. Enjoy!
