We finally discuss Star Wars: The Last Jedi - did it live up to our expectations? A year ago Will predicted that 2017 would suck - and it did - was all this calamity his fault? We discuss. Go hug a loved one, the fight is just beginning.
Two more idiots on the internet discussing film and pop culture and anything else on their minds. They drag guests into their little circle of dysfunction. Trust me, it's good

Laura McGhee (@LauraMcGhee68) is a pilot, writer, actress, and comedian. That’s right, a pilot, like for airplanes.

LA Weekly got bought by a right-wing consortium and now they are trying to get people to write for them for free. Quentin Tarantino is boldly going where no man has gone before - and he’s taking JJ with him. Tis the season to be pressured into purchasing unwanted chocolate bars by the adorable children of your co-workers. Waffle House is now a DIY institution, at least for some people it would seem.

There are too many goddamn podcasts out there, how are we managing? “Coco” is a great new film by PIXAR, but the Olaf “short” beforehand is an abominable snowman.

Misha D (@NotRealMishaD) is a reformed storyteller, currently a stand up comedian, and a goddamn entertaining delight. He explains to us his decision to leave the world of spoken word for the more perilous one of open mic. There’s a bunch of new shows coming this month, so we test Misha to see if he can decipher the premise just from the title. Taylor Swift has once again pounced upon pop culture so, inevitably, we must discuss. Restaurants keep changing their menus on Will and he’s had enough of it.
Sunday, September 3, 2017

CBS is debuting its new Star Trek show on their access only channel - how many things will we end up paying for before this gets ridiculous? Pop culture will always disappoint you, we discuss out most notable let downs. Taco Bell and Left are teaming up for the worst bit of viral marketing since Donald Trump and the Republican party.

Jazz Musician Eric Reed sits down with us this week fresh from a tour in Europe. He tells us all about the LA and NYC jazz scene, and we listen to “The Way to Love” from his new album. We lost both George Romero and Martin Landau - we discuss their illustrious careers. At what point do aging rock stars need to step down?

You just sit down where your ticket tells you to sit - this shouldn’t be that complicated!

Have you ever learnt something unsavory about a celebrity you admired, only to have that fact change your perception of that person? The year is halfway through - what has been our favorite bits of pop culture so far in 2017? Every film is now part of an Extended Cinematic Universe and now we no longer know how to experience a “one-off” film.

SNL will finally, for the first time in its 42 year history, air live coast to coast. What took so long? It might not be a good idea to take your horse to the Taco Bell drive through.
