S02 E11: Going Overboard

Remember last week? When you gave us a mound of disparate topics and music to weave together? Well, we were worried about fitting it all in, but we did, mostly, and wouldn't you know it if we didn't end right on the one-hour mark.

Well, this week was one of those We're-both-kind-of-tired-and-can't-think-of-anything-to-talk-about kind of weeks. So we set a few extra music tracks aside. You can check the length: yep, that's right... it's becoming a general rule that we always go over in these circumstances. Our inconsistency = your benefit: 25% more show. Not that anyone's ever asked us to talk more...

Anyway, enjoy!

S02 E09: We're Oscar Wild(e)






Oh, puns...

You're probably reading this after the Academy Awards, and so this Oscar-themed episode won't seem nearly as timely or as clever as it was when we first conceived the idea, but then again, when have we ever lived up to our own expectations? Enjoy!
