    Show #108 - Hosts and Guests

    With 10 days to go until the election, the smooth baritones of the 'Lith and the Trap return to your various listening devices with a post-debate pre-Election Day podcast. If you weren't a low-information voter before, you will be after listening to this 90-minute episode. Sorry about that. Discussed: Why you might hear a baby crying in the background, Westworld's first four (and somewhat problematic) episodes, a quick summary of the three presidential debates, some thoughts on the recent "re-opening" of Hillary's email investigation, a Word of the Week that may accurately describe certain segments of the voting public, and some thoughts on the Marvel-produced Netflix show, Luke Cage.

    Show# 107a - I Love Mono

    With the first of potentially three presidential debates happening in just hours, Monolith and Bear Trap have decided to forego their newly adopted twice-a-year format and have recorded a special episode just one month after their last one. [They have authorized me to say a preemptive "You're welcome".] In this fairly epic episode, the 'Lith and the Trap (referred to in certain circles as "The Gentlemen") share with their listeners their thoughts, opinions, and jarringly strong emotions on what viewers might expect to see during the one and a half hour debate on Monday, September 26th at 9PM EST. Other quite useful and informative subjects are also discussed, albeit in a useless and uninformative manner. Standard operating procedure for the Gentlemen. Discussed: The first presidential debate of 2016, peculiar debate audience appearances by Mark Cuban and one Gennifer Flowers, the expectations game, Apple News, first-hand opinions about the new Apple Watch and the new iPhone 7+, the wisdom (or lack thereof) of Apple's entry into the car market with their in-development Apple Car, is stereo really that good?, a Word of the Week that could splinter the Little Snack listeners into many factions, a short (though perhaps not short enough?) review of "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" by Bear Trap, the badness of "Designated Survivor" on CBS, "Sicario", Dennis Villaneuve, the adaptability of Frank Herbert's Dune, Dune the book versus the Dune films, Kyle McLachlan AKA Muad'dib, X-Men: Apocalypse and Oscar Isaac's other recent embarrassments, and a Monolith Moment that will make you think about your spice cabinet in a different way. Please, folks: enjoy this one. Show# 107

    Show #106 - Stranger Things, Bubble Cars, and the NeverEnding Podcast

    They did it again. Enjoy, folks! Discussed: A Bear Trap-flavored episode of the Never Heard of It podcast and why it (and the whole podcast, really) is worth checking out, the rolling Trump terror-show, Bear Trap's Nostradamus-level prediction comes true, what happens after election day 2016 regardless of the outcome, how the GOP can move away from being, as David Brooks puts it, an "all-white party", the odds of the House impeaching Hillary in Jan 2017, Apple News and the possible update of the famed Mac "tower", Apple-made chips, Apple-made cars, self-driving cars, Monolith's contacts in government, Stranger Things and why it's good (Monolith) and why it's great (Bear Trap), a new and excellent Word of the Week with an atypical outcome, a note about our esteemed Little Snack filmmaking members, Monolith revisits The Fly, a brief word about Suicide Squad, a Monolith Moment about a classic film from the 80s returning briefly to the theaters, and many many other things. (Runtime: it's a long one.) Show #106

    Show #105 - The People VS General Leia Organa Solo

    Happy New Year, loyal and long-suffering listeners! On Tuesday night, Monolith and Bear Trap recorded a new episode and, apparently, the only things that happened in 2015 worthy of comment were the release of Star Wars, Episode VII: The Force Awakens and Marvel's Jessica Jones on Netflix. So for almost two hours, that's what they talk about. The Star Wars chit-chat is the first hour and a half, the rest is Jessica Jones. Be aware, SPOILERS abound, so if you haven't seen these but plan to in the near future, you might want to save this one for after. Enjoy! Discussed: Monolith ranks Mad Max: Fury Road among the best films of the year (find out what rank he gives it!), the aesthetic difference between 'Mad Max' and 'The Force Awakens', Jedi Priests versus Jedi Knights, why in hell Kylo Ren wore the mask, Bear Trap rants about the criminal incompetence of the Alliance in 'The Force Awakens', Monolith takes us on a weirdly fascinating journey through the Star Wars saga to track the whereabouts of the characters' various light sabers, the pitiable fate of Han Solo, the relative worth of David Tennant as an actor, Jessica Jones' likability, and the horror of Kilgrave's diabolical abilities. Hope you like it! Show #105

    Show #104 - Faster Strokes

    If the late-summer doldrums have got you down, intensify your depression and listen to the latest episode of 'A Little Snack!' Enjoy! Discussed: Monolith and Bear Trap catch everyone up on the latest baby news, Apple News!, new iPad Pro, '3D touch' and what it might mean for the olds, the movies Paul Rudd was good in, a very learned Word of the Week, Netflix's 'Wet Hot American Summer' and a slow person's understanding of the show's "central joke", thoughts on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert', the prospect of a Trump presidency brings out the alarmist in Bear Trap and the fatalist in Monolith, why 'Downton Abbey' is so enjoyable, a moving and memorably maternal Monolith Moment, 'Black Mirror', and a shout-out to 'A Little Snack's' sister podcast, 'Never Heard of It'. Its praises are sung. And a bunch of other listen-y stuff. Show #104

    Show #103 - Hate-Directed

    What?! They're still doing this? Unfortunately for you, the answer is yes. Yes they are. Monolith and the Trap usher in the new year with a brand new podcast after a long baby-induced hiatus. (Thanks, Beatrice!) In this episode your trusty Snackers talk exclusively about recent films. Well, almost exclusively. Enjoy it. EDITOR'S NOTE: Just to ensure no one listens to this, all 5 movies discussed deal in SPOILERS. Except Planet of the Apes. I think they got through that one without ruining anything. But if you've seen all of these, you're golden! Discussed: Interstellar, Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part One, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Gone Girl, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the importance of likability in movies, a brand new Word of the Week, and then Monolith's favorite movie of 2014.

    Show #102 - Health Stuff

    Too much happened in the world last week for these two intellectual heavyweights to sit idly by and say nothing. This episode is a chronicling of their discussion. These two hours are their gift to you. Discussed: Apple's big 2014 announcement, iPhone6+, the Apple Watch, the iOS 8 download to watch for, Scotland's possible break with the UK, thoughts on the new Batmobile, CW's 'The Arrow' and its scandalous non-appearance on Netflix, a Word of the Week you'd enjoy if you were more cultured, the Ebola epidemic in Liberia and how it's really nothing to worry about, ISIS, beheadings and two dumb guys' understanding of Islam, the second season of Showtime's 'Masters of Sex', and an in-depth, spoileriffic discussion of Darren Aronofsky's 'Noah'. Show #102

    Show #101 - Sexier Falcons

    Discussed: Monolith and the fam's visit to Disneyland and the possibility that Monolith and the fam may not have actually gone to Disneyland, an accidental home invasion at Mickey Mouse's house, the death of Robin Williams, George Takei, 'A Most Wanted Man's odd lack of incident, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bear Trap's discovery of Tom Waits, 'Noah', 'Captain America 2: Winter Soldier', a very special tweet from Bryan Fuller in which two worlds collide (Bear Trap's fanboy mind explodes), differences between the podcasters about Emmy-winner 'Breaking Bad's final season, a Game of Thrones-themed Word of the Week, a thought on George RR Martin's feelings about the show advancing beyond his books, the 30th anniversary re-release of 'Ghostbusters', and the thing they just don't talk about. A bit more than an hour. They thought you deserved a reprieve after the last epic-sized episode. Enjoy! Show #101
