Show #100 - Space Gods and Ape Rape

The milestone has been reached. Monolith and Bear Trap have now officially stolen more than 100 hours of your precious lives with their uninformed talky talk. So to commemorate this occasion, they have 1) recorded the episode just ONE WEEK after the previous one, and 2) invited long-time listener and friend of the show Heath to join in and contribute his own blatherings for this episode of a Little Snack. It's a long one, but at this point what's another 2 and a half hours going to hurt? Enjoy! And thanks for listening! These dopes do this for you! Discussed: 'Wolf of Wall Street', Margot Robbie, the new Spider-Man films, best U.S. presidents of the last 50 years, NSA spying, HBO's 'Silicon Valley', Weird Al's new album, Bear Trap's doomed late-80s foray into the private detective business, Monolith's rapid aging and its effect on his with-it-ness (hint: it's been detrimental), statists, auto bailouts, demagoguery, banking coups, inflation, 'Better Call Saul', Ubisoft's 'Watch Dogs' for the PS4, 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes', intermittent episodes of fake snoring, a brief and unexpected cameo by yet another listener, a Word of the Week segment of questionable value brought to you by none other than Heath, and then there's what Heath's been working on these days. And other stuff. There's a lot of podcast here. Should probably get started.

Show #99 -- Kevin Spacey's Sex Dungeon

This is a monthly show now, right? It seems like it's a monthly show. Anyway, welcome back, long suffering fans of the Snack! A lot of stuff has gone down since the 'Lith and the Trap did their last show on June 4th, and do they ever discuss the hell out of it on this podcast. More than two hours! I might even skip this one myself, EXCEPT! for an earth-shaking announcement you will only hear in this episode of a Little Snack. It happens right in the middle of the episode and you know these guys do not do chapter marks, so you're just going to have to sit through it. And there's a lot of in-podcast Googling in this one, too. (Really though, it's long but it's not bad.) Enjoy! Discussed: 'The Wolf of Wall Street', 'Edge of Tomorrow', the new 'Gone Girl' trailer, cinematographers and David Fincher, the Medea-sized twist we can expect at the end of that film based on Tyler Perry's participation, 'Starship Troopers' the book versus the movie, 'Stranger in a Strange Land', what it means to 'grok', 'The Leftovers' episode 1 is reviewed, 'Fargo' the TV series, what's happened to our summer movies, big announcement, a Word of the Week that's kinda fugazi, Siri's new "capability", 'House of Cards' season 2 (spoilers), and season 4 of 'Game of Thrones' (many a spoiler).
