Episode #164: Lights, Camera, Action Heroes
10/27/23 • 97 min
Saint and Jim may be committed to doing the work to defying the evils of toxic masculinity, patriarchy and gun culture, but even so — some old habits die hard. Like being fans of "Die Hard". And "John Wick". And "Predator". And countless other action movies staring monosyllabic, muscle-bound turbo-bros who defy death as effortlessly as they deal it. So, maybe it's a guilty pleasure, but it's still a helluva lot of fun to watch. In this episode, the boys take a look at some of their favorite action heroes, and the landmark movies that introduced them to the cinemascape.

Episode #163: The Great Live Midwestern Gluttony Tour
Your intrepid co-hosts decided to do something pretty special this week. Fate (and some pretty cool stuff they can't talk about yet) has seen fit to bring them together for their second in-person episode of the year! This time, Saint is in Jim's neck of the woods, mere moments from Milwaukee, WI. And that means beer, cheese, and debauchery are mandatory pursuits. Since there are so many (*burp*) unique delicacies that can only be had regionally, Jim takes it upon himself to stuff Saint silly, and then quiz him about his reactions to such hyper-local specialties as New Glarus beer, Blue Moon ice cream, fried cheese curds and more. So, so much more. So join them as they indulge in their second-favorite deadly sin all over Brew City.

Episode #165: I'll Take What's Behind Door Number Three
It wasn't your family doctor that got you through being sick as a kid. It wasn't even the bed rest. Anyone who ever sat home sick from school with saltines, 7•UP and soup knows it was the Price is Right, Press Your Luck and The Pyramid that got ultimately us back on our feet. Game shows — once relegated to morning TV and syndicated UHF programming — have become a huge part of the American pop-culture fabric. And whether it's feeling smart because you can answer a question the contestants couldn't, or living vicariously when someone you're rooting for wins the Showcase Showdown, it's clear there are countless reasons why household names like Pat Sajak, Wink Martindale and Alex Trebek got to be household names in the first place. So let's go to the board with Saint and Jim, and see what the survey says.
