24 July 2014 — This month, your faithful hosts tackle their biggest challenge of the year as they review the "film" adaptation of the "book" Twilight. It's so bad that James and Damien could not do it on their own, as they're joined by Big Damn Heroes host and expert on the subject of being a female: Hannah Krueger. Together, the three of them try to figure out just exactly what the hell everyone likes about Bella, the effectiveness of staring as a mating ritual, and the rule infractions of Thunder Baseball.

Bob Hoskins

By The Brothers Wilson
18 July 2014 — Hey, an Actor! steps up to pay tribute to a recently deceased acting legend within Britain: Mr. Bob Hoskins. Whilst The Brothers Wilson specifically avoid denigrating their subject, their reviews of The Long Good Friday, Mrs. Henderson Presents, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit highlight both their high- and lowbrow aesthetics. Your hosts try to shoehorn in a particular soundtrack wherever possible, as well as reveling in an euphemism coined in their part of the world to describe female organs. Also, stay tuned to the very end of the podcast if you've ever wanted to hear two men weep with laughter over actor David Tomlinson.
