The Walking Dead Saga Review (with Crystal Hairston)

Crystal Hairston & Cam dive into the popular yet controversial WALKING DEAD franchise. Crystal really digs the saga despite acknowledging its flaws while Cam just gives the low-down on which poorly-written characters he wanted to have be zombie fodder.

 

Is it more divisive than LOST and GAME OF THRONES combined?

 

Were some of the spin-offs better or actually added to the lesser moments of the franchise?

 

Is it somewhat entertaining or does it serve to just make one angrily yell at the screen non-stop?

 

Find out in this calm yet blunt chat!

What comedic bit still works well with Part 1 and which character in Part 2 just ends up being an unneeded annoyance?

 

Why is Part 3 still an undisputed genre classic?

 

All that and more end-of-the-world survival tips!

Skip town, avoid the dealers & stay out of the narc's way after this episode!

 

Sicario Movies Double Feature Review (with Caomh McGillion)

Directors Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Prisoners) and Stefano Sollima (Suburra, A.C.A.B.) adapt another gritty vision by Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, Tulsa King).

Favorite Moments in the Breaking Bad Saga

We continue our Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul discussion by listing the best moments which sum up the plot arcs, ironies and downhill destruction of the various villain protagonists (who think of course they're misunderstood but aren't actually).

Some of my guests even give their take on the Iowa and Omaha drug trade that mirrors some of the events in this show.

 

How many amusing pop culture and scifi references do they sneak onto that show?

 

How many moments have become internet memes?

Sony Pictures & Other Sister Companies Film History

I present to you all a rather sarcastic yet very sly way of looking at the sometimes successful yet infamous entertainment giant that is Sony Pictures!

 

 

A Review of the Christopher Columbus Movie Epics

The various infamous, glamorizing and Hollywoodized Christopher Columbus films get a brief overview.

 

It's mainly an excuse for us to talk about about renaming the holiday so we can stop honoring this tyrant and actually celebrate the Indigenous traditions themselves.

 

Plus, you get to hear some brief yet very snappy satire clips about Columbus' racism from both Amber Ruffin and The Apartment on YouTube's Asif Ali and Ali Baluch so enjoy that history lesson as well!

Oreo Brewer (All Poetry)

This hospital drama ran for 5 years on NBC and got a bigger streaming audience on Netflix but what does it offer to stand apart from others in this genre?

 

What are some dramatically rewarding segments often featured here?

Join me for this fun yet brief film history overview on the Commando Cody character in fiction.

 

Popularized by the Radar Men from the Moon serials which were later shown on MST3k and which inspired The Rocketeer, what do these '40s short films have that you didn't get from Lone Ranger type fare?

The 6th Annual VOD Awards Special (2025) (with Jasen Bach & Oliver Rockside)

The In Your Earholes podcast network duo join the annual award show for more unconvincing set designs, crazy wardrobe, nonsensical scripts & amazing scenery chewing- all of it worth of getting some 'endearing" awards.

 

Who doesn't want some laid-back sarcasm in under half an hour?

Riddick Movie Tie-In Material (Motion Comics, Anime & Videogames) Reviewed (with Oreo Brewer!)

Where can one find the motion comics for the first and third movie?

 

What cool new characters voiced by famous actors appeared in both SPLINTER CELL inspired videogames?

 

Was the anime movie by the AEON FLUX creator any good?

 

Maybe DC Comics Animation Director Sam Liu can help bring another Riddick anime to life should the 4th live-action film not come out anytime soon?

In this minisode, we do a brief overview on the pros and cons of both SHIN GODZILLA (2016) and GODZILLA MINUS ONE (2024).

Who else is in this stacked cast?

 

And do the thrills deliver?

Steven Bochco TV Classic Retrospects: L.A. Law & Hill Street Blues

Welcome to a themed week on Antiheroes in Fiction:

 

To start off, I summarize your parent's favorite '80s NBC Dramas by Steven Bochco.

 

Does L.A. Law hold any muster or is it sadly rather dated?

 

Is there anybody likeable on the Serpico-inspired drama Hill Street Blues or is it only a cesspool of crooked bastards?

 

Aside from their cultural influence, what other material and dramatic impact did they leave?

 

Find out in this fun revisit!
