Brian and Rodrigo discuss pop culture topics that may not have had an optimal result or may be misunderstood. In this podcast we hope to find beautiful stories about the things that connect us as a society, movies, music, sports, tv, books...Oh, who are we kidding? This podcast is just a ruse for us to talk about things we like and attempt to right the wrongs of history one episode at a time!
The movie Reign of Fire staring Matthew McConaughey and future Batman Christian Bale came out in 2002 and revolves around a group of English and American survivors of a Dragon-a-pocalypse that has turned the world in a dour, ashen landscape. Set in the year 2020, the population has been decimated by fire breathing dragons, famine, and lack of hygene, which sounds like the worst possible 2020 ever, until 2020 actually happened. Join us as we discuss the movie and determine if a 2020 rife with fire breathing dragons who use humans as hors d'oeuvre is preferable to the shit show we actually got.

Episode 27: Assault on Precinct 13
Because the assaults on precincts one through twelve proved wholly uneventful, John Carpenter started with Assault on Precinct 13. Made in 1976 for just around $11,000.00 (which is $11,000 more than the budget for this podcast) the original quickly became a cult classic. In 2005, (aka the year of the remake of 1976 movies, e.g. King Kong, The Fog, The Bad News Bears) the movie was remade with Ethan Hawke and Laurence Fishburne. Come join us for our last episode of the season as we discuss both movies, explain how Ice Cube references are more difficult than sub zero weather, and discuss the future. Listen to this original episode on Assault on Precinct 13 before it gets remade!

Episode 26: Public Restrooms
Whether you do it in an open field, a body of water, in a pot, in the morning or at night, at work or play, in a diaper while sitting in your brother’s bed, or in a litter box and blame it on the cat, everybody poops. From the Ancient Romans to our current public restrooms, we discuss the history of the public restroom, along with the shame some of us feel while doing our duty in public. Should there be any shame doing something we all do, and should there be exclusivity in regard to which bathroom you can use? Join us as Brian retells a horrific Goodwill bathroom experience and Rodrigo talks about El Salvadorian bathroom cockroaches. Listen and get the straight poop on public restrooms!
