    Esmeralda is so uninteresed. Sorry but it sounds like your co-host at the end of each podcast is so bored or at the least not at all up to speed to pop culture like Nick is, which makes for awkwardness. Also, for the good of mankind, please have your movie reviewers review popular mainstream movies people actually watch instead of movies that played for a day at a festival.

    Nick, while you are entitled to your opinion and to talk how you want on your podcast. I seriously wish you would stop mocking and making fun of Christianity. Just because you do not know anything about it and what you might know is based on media coverage doesn’t mean you should cutting anyone down or making fun of them. You presuming a movie is going to be a “train wreck” just because of the people being “crazy” is just wrong. You considering someone is crazy because of their beliefs is wrong.... more

  • Stop with the Effin’ Jingles!

    The show opener is good, but too many jungles is a bad thing especially when the jingles go on and on and on. Maybe a few bars that match the show opener, to establish continuity between segments or guests. Even 5 seconds is painfully too long and wack-a-doodle..

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nick D – SUZANNE VEGA RETURNS!
Q: How did the collaboration with Jerry Leonard influence your songwriting and live arrangements?
Vega explains that Jerry is not just a guitarist but a producer and musical director who helps translate her guitar-centric ideas into workable scores, while maintaining a live feel. They regularly write together, and Jerry creates spreadsheets to keep everything seamless for live performances.
Nick D – Tom’s Theater of Trash & Celebrity Clones!
Q: What makes Red Surf stand out in Clooney's early career?
Red Surf is notable as an early leading role showing Clooney's capacity for a darker, more grounded character, which foreshadows his later dramatic depth and helped Tarantino consider him for From Dusk Till Dawn.
Nick D – Tom’s Theater of Trash & Celebrity Clones!
Q: Have you ever seen the same movie twice in the same theater on consecutive nights, with completely different results?
Yes, a double feature night in the same IMAX at the Roosevelt Collection showed two starkly different experiences: one film felt like a disaster while the next night's film felt delightful, illustrating how context, expectations, and programming can swing perception.
Nick D – Erik, Steve, The New Movies and Friday the 13th!
Q: So are you going to be out of town?
I will be traveling, yes.
Nick D – Erik, Steve, The New Movies and Friday the 13th!
