We are back to our regularly scheduled programming!
Rod & Jess kick off their 2006 block of shows with an extended chat about two very different films. First, they discuss the whimsical, girl-power comedy Penelope (which technically released in 2006). Then, they thoroughly break down pop culture icon James Bond and the entire 007 series via Casino Royale.

Media Made is back with our 2024 April Fools' episode!
In what we're calling "And Now For Something Completely Different...," Rod & Jess have put together a copy-cat episode. We're lifting the formats of two of our favorite podcasts and putting our own spin on them. First, we offer some relationship and life advice by emulating the Reddit stories podcast Reddit On Wiki. Then, we gotta go fast when we do our own episode of the video game music show VGMpire.

It's Rod's birthday! And he's giving himself a gift with this special episode of Media Made!
In the first of hopefully many specials, Rod and his good pal Michael look back at a classic prog rock concept album: Rush's 2112! They explore the history of the band, the circumstances of the album's release, the inspirations behind the story and songs, and the legacy 2112 left behind. Musicology, history, philosophy, and sociology abound in our first Concept Album Spotlight!

We're going to just come out and say it: This might be Media Made's most unapproachable episode ever.
As Rod & Jess grew up in the mid-2000s, their TV habits moved away from standard American broadcasts and toward other corners of the media landscape. To illustrate, this 2005 TV podcast marks our first journey into internet television, as we discuss online media company Rooster Teeth's third machinima web series PANICS. Then, we go back to South Korea to discuss the beloved slice-of-life drama My Lovely Sam Soon. If you're feeling adventurous, give the episode a listen!

Are you ready to rock?! Things get heavy for Rod & Jess in this 2005 Music episode, as they discuss two of the leading rock acts of the time. First, they look back at the trendsetting breakthrough release of Avenged Sevenfold, City of Evil. Then, they dissect the commercial peak of Canadian juggernaut Nickelback, All the Right Reasons. It's a wild ride!

As we start a New Year in the present, we look back at a New Year on Media Made!
We kick off 2005 with a SCI-FI SHOWDOWN, as Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, the last film of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, takes on Serenity, the big-screen continuation of the cult TV show Firefly. Which of these space epics provides the thrills? Which one provides the spills? Listen to find out!
