BCC Film Class Episode 116: My Cousin Vinny
On this week's episode, we took a look at 1992 Joe Pesci vehicle, My Cousin Vinny (dir. Jonathan Lynn). Featuring the struggles of visiting the Deep South, does this 90s courtroom comedy still hold up? Do good grits take more than 5 minutes to cook?

BCC Music Class Episode 110: Eric Johnson
We're back with another monster length music episode on guitarist Eric Johnson. Famed for his dreamy guitar tones, exquisitely crafted instrumentals and general guitar wizardry, we take a look at his 80s and 90s output (Tones, Ah Via Musicom, and Venus Isle) plus one of his more recent albums, Up Close.

BCC Video Game Class Episode 112: Yoshi's Island
We take a trip back to the SNES for Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, the premier babysitting platformer where you play as a green dinosaur. Remembered for its coloring book aesthetic, banging soundtrack, early 3D graphics, and bizarre place in the Mario canon, Yoshi's Island is a wonderfully different Mario game that remains a platformer classic.

BCC Music Class 110: The Bouncing Souls
Taking a detour over to Jersey, today's episode is on the punk band The Bouncing Souls. With all the classic punk joys of 45 second songs, bouncy guitar riffs, and sophomoric lyrics, The Bouncing Souls did carve out a respectable niche in the 90s. Is it enough for punk-averse Derek to get on board?

BCC Film Class Episode 115: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005)
Live from Jordan's house, and just in time for Christmas, we cover Shane Black's directorial debut, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It's a weird little meta detective movie, wherein Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer team up to to solve a murder in the mean streets of Los Angeles.
