No morning routines. No takeaways. Just two enthusiastic hosts having a funny conversation and dragging you along for it.Topics wander freely through movies that deserved better, movies that absolutely did not, decades of television, space and whether any of it means anything, road trips, holidays, the paranormal, puppets, the nature of time, and a rotating cast of subjects that seemed like a good idea when someone hit record. Nothing is too big, too small, or too weird to end up on the agenda.Come waste some time with us. Take a break from being smart.
