Season 4

Season 4, Episode 1: We're Back, and we've multiplied!

We catch up after an (almost) two-year hiatus! A lot has changed-- who had a baby? Who lives in a different country? Who pees themselves while recording this episode? Join us as we chat about notable moments of the past year.

Season 3

The Khamar Daban Incident, or why you shouldn't go hiking in Russia or anywhere really

Season 3, Episode 11- We are back from our hiatus with a mystery! In 1993, a group of hikers mysteriously died in the Khamar Daban mountain range of Siberia, leaving only one survivor and witness. The gruesome deaths were never fully explained; we discuss the events and the theories surrounding this ill-fated expedition.

Season 3, Episode 10- SpooOoOoky Movies, or when a PG-13 rating is better than an R-rating

Which movies make us go "EEP!" and which ones are more "Ehh"? What movie made Sara sob in the theater? Is "Nightmare Before Christmas" a Halloween movie, or a Christmas movie? We discuss all this and more in our final episode of spooky month!

Season 3, Episode 9- Mummies, or how you too can last forever.

Join us for a lively discussion about all things mummies. From Egypt to South America we meander through what they have to offer in the world of preserved bodies.

Season 3, Episode 8- The Downside of Fame, or Keep your kids away from Hollywood folks

Child stars! We love to watch their movies, but hate to watch them fall apart. We talk about some of the more notorious child stars who saw the darker side of the industry- Judy Garland, Drew Barrymore, Corey Feldman, Macaulay Culkin, and Britney Spears. Is the fame and wealth worth it?

Season 3, Episode 7- Music of the 2000s, or when angst ruled the charts

We reminisce over music that we loved in our youth. Pop, pop-punk, alt rock, emo, indie, ska- which phases became lifestyles, and what songs now make us cringe? Tune in to find out!

Season 3, Episode 6- The Matrix, or where we contemplate the reality of life.

Join us as we discuss all three Matrix movies. What does it mean to be alive or to be human? Are we all just made of code? Who else could have played Neo?

Season 3, Episode 5- Page to Screen Part Two, or why books make better TV shows than movies

We delve into more screen adaptations of our favorite (and not-so-favorite) novels! We cover the Percy Jackson disaster and the Divergent disappointment, along with the Golden Compass and Little Women home runs. Can you tell our favorite genres are YA, fantasy, and historical fiction?

Season 3, Episode 4- Page to Screen Part One, or where we pick apart beloved series.

Join us for a discussion on the strengths and weaknesses of different page to screen adaptations. Nothing is off limits from the Hunger Games to Twilight.

Season 3, Episode 3- Harry Potter part 2, because we just can't stop ourselves

More Harry Potter discussion! If we could only save one character from their demise, who would it be? Was Dumbledore a Slytherin at heart? Who are our favorite characters? And more!
