This week I'm joined by Autumn Greer and Evan Jones Thorne to talk about the first part of Stephen King's original magnum opus: The Stand. It's a massive sprawling book, so we can only introduce characters and talk about the early days of their journey. Come along with us to hear about the superf...

R.E.M. pulls out of its nosedive with an album whose title also serves as its mission statement. It was lauded as a return to form for the band, compared to Lifes Rich Pageant, and talked up as the album that Monster was supposed to be. But does it stand up on its own merits, or...

Kris and Kole talk about tourism, hooks, and escape acts.
ALSO: Lotsa travel. Tales from the MLK museum. Tattoos by length or volume. It sandblasted the skin from their bones. I’m being doxed by Blue Traveler. Everything is gonna be fine. The shittiest escape act.

Welcome to Season 4 listeners! On this episode we tackle two extremely weird episodes of X-Men the Animated Series: Love in Vain and Deal With the Devil.

A pale imitator to ANTZ, A Bug's Life was Pixar's side project wile working on lucrative Buzz 'n' Woods movies. How exactly would such a thing translate to a video game? Only time, this show, and stories about Trash Friends can tell.

A movie so good your heart will soar. Or float, at least.
Jeremy Greer and Bryan May come along to talk about a movie so good it almost makes up for how disappointing the Dark Tower adaptation was.

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about Destiny 2, PewDiePie’s latest controversy, and we ask you what your Pokémon-style evolution would be.
Let's flirt with success, as we look at 2006's Silent Hill movie. Obviously Kole is down, since this contains prolonged sequences that perfectly encapsulate the disorientation and horror of wandering around a haunted town. However, this movie falls from its high highs to shit the bed wit...

Well, this is it. The nadir. If you're thinking R.E.M. couldn't release an album as bad as Around the Sun's reputation would indicate, then we're sorry to tell you that they can. Up might have had a daysleeper, but this one's a sleepwalker. It's hard to recommend listening to th...

Kris and Kole talk about good luck, decapitation, and shifting priorities.
ALSO: Milton Waddams. New shut-ins. Our people, their people, and good luck. Crawford beheaded. The prince of purp. More fucking eclipse talk. A truly depressing workplace story. Young men abandoned the tit.
