We begin discussing the great Japanese trash rock n' roll zombie flick, Wild Zero. Part 2 to follow soon.

The continuation of our Transformers discussion and some shameless shilling of the Latest edition of Unnamed Journal. Of course, if you're a Patron, you already have that.
A bifurcated episode! We start talking about The Transformers, and at some point during the discussion, something got bumped and the recording stopped. This is the part before the bump. Part 2 coming soon!
We sat down to discuss fantasy author Neil Gaiman, and we recorded nearly two hours worth of material. This bit here is the part about Neil Gaiman. The rest of the madness will become a bonus episode, here shortly. Enjoy
We chatter like a bunch of fanboys about Mel Brooks, talking about all the movies of his we've seen, which is almost all of them. In the process, we discover the difference between what's brilliant and what's mediocre.
