    Episode 68: The Brood and The Devil's Backbone

    Santa brought it early. Or a month and a half late. Leave the guy alone, he's got a lot on his plate. And that's how this one starts. Bob and Mike immerse themselves in a discussion of which horror movie with kids in it is better. Enjoy!

    Episode 67: Priest and Priest: A Love Story

    That's the kicker, as they say, there was nothing even in the hamper. Oh, hey! It's a new episode of the pod. Liz and Mike tackle some media with the same title and really flex that explicit rating this time.

    Episode 66: Live Nassau Coliseum '76 and Graduation Day 1966: Live at the University of Michigan

    They were out of printer ink. It took me by surprise, and they shrugged it off. Supply chains, amiright? Dan and Mike get in there to discuss live albums. An exploration ensues that is good. And at some point Dan says, "Sleeveless Ts are a must."
