Show #95 - Bossy

It was supposed to be a short one. Less than an hour. There was even talk of breaking their record for shortest episode ever. The worry was the energy was too low to sustain an entire Little Snack-length podcast so they actually added a disclaimer to say this was going to be a "short one". But the energy went up, and the time went on, and it went on, and it went on some more. So prepare yourselves for two hours of the usual mumblecore podcasting. Discussed: Sheryl Sandburg attempts to remove a word from the English language, Ivan Reitman gives up the director's chair for a new 'Ghostbusters' movie, a WoW you're going to start seeing everywhere, a WoW pop quiz, the missing Malaysian Air flight and why we care, Monolith's Village/Island theory, atheism vs "post-atheism", what's good about religion, how Bible stories stack up against the stories told in the annals of astrophysics, a detailed discussion about the new "Common Core" education standards for English and History, the various levels of Batman-fandom, and a bunch of other stuff in a wide-ranging and, at times, fairly unstructured podcast. Enjoy, friends!

Show #96 - Angels Made Your Philtrum

Even though the Little Snack is only available via a kind of Dropbox purgatory at the moment, (thanks iTunes!) MonoTrap (BearLith?) recorded another episode anyway. This is that episode. Discussed: Two wildly differing (and SPOILER-filled) opinions on the Oscar non-contender from last year, 'Finding Mr. Banks', some comments regarding a forgotten Jared Leto film entitled 'Mr. Nobody', the 'TMNT' reboot and some thoughts on the original film, the latest 'Captain America' movie, a frightening Word of the Week from an unexpected source, and a mind-blowing Monolith Moment that's also not a Monolith Moment. And, finally, the episode closes out with a discussion of Game of Thrones Season Four premiere. Spoilers abound so this section is only for those who've watched. Enjoy!
