    Ruminations Episode XXIII: An Impromptu Disney Villains Roundup

    One night not so long ago, Chris and Steve decided to talk about Disney villains. The goal was to simply prepare for a future episode on the topic, but the hourlong conversation was "too funny" so they stopped what they were doing, pressed record, and restarted their banter. Thus Ruminations Episode XXIII: An Impromptu Disney Villains Roundup.

    Ruminations Episode XXII: Nosferatu New Year

    Ruminations Episode XXI: Disney Fun Time

    Steve and Chris return to their roots: discussing the good, the bad, and the ugly of Disney. This time around, it's mostly the Disney theme parks and their controversial changes of recent years, with a sprinkling of TV and movie talk. Which Disney landmark, according to Chris, is no longer safe? Did Steve ever finish The Acolyte? How did Steve not die while drinking (and eating cheese) Around the World last summer?

    Ruminations Episode XIX: The Sequels

    Somehow, Ruminations returned… for a second Star Wars episode! This time around, Chris and Steve are joined by their old friend Frank for a look back at a trio of root canals put to celluloid: the ill-planned and ill-executed Disney sequel trilogy. Who hates the trilogy the most? Which of the three is the best […]

    Ruminations Episode XVIII: The Prequels

    A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! In the first of (at least) three episodes focused on a certain long-running space opera franchise, Chris and Steven discuss the goofy, lovable Star Wars prequels with a very special guest star: Diana, Steve’s wife of 9 months. Why do they love these movies so much? […]

    Ruminations Episode XVII: House of Power, Rings of the Dragon

    Ruminations Episode XVI: Apocalypse Now Redrunks

    In an episode two months in the making, Chris and Steve delve into the heart of darkness to explore five of the most famous Vietnam War movies made in the aftermath of the war in the 1970s and 80s. Which version of Apocalypse Now is best? Why is The Deer Hunter so dull? Which of us grew up thinking Full Metal Jacket was a comedy? Why does Vietnam have such a visceral place in our pop culture and collective memory? Stay to the end for a game of "Would You Rather?" and a glimpse into the first time we recorded this episode--yes, we liked this topic so much, we talked about it twice! (But only Chris remembers that.) Episode 16 is messy, a bit overlong, and has a dubious history reminiscent of its subject matter, but what else do you expect from this duo?
