Show #108 - Hosts and Guests

10/30/16 • -1 min

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.
