What is ISE? Immature? Definitely. Sophomoric? Unabashedly. Enlightening? Listen in as a self-entitled, pessimistic Jew and an intolerably likable Guido do their best to find ways to make arguing about nothing a modern form of entertainment. Ever wonder what sex toys are like in the wizardin…
We go through the films that matter from 2016, from Gods of Egypt, and Batman v Superman, to Popstar and Hardcore Henry, and answer the question, what is the best video game movie of all time.
The return of the cast sees Levi, Mawk, Nando and Stanbert play a game of guess the random nsfw subreddit. They then review the year in film, tv and video games, and look forward at a selection from this year's sundance film festival.
Levi, Mawk, Nando and Stan are in to reflect on how their lives have changed since the last episode. They first reflect about movies this year that have been ok, but worthless, before moving on to their new video game obsession and Levi's new phone(guess what he wants to do to it). (we apologize for the small whirring noise in the background, use your ADD for good and ignore it)
The next stop on the never-ending tour was Thaliand, which, means exactly what you think it means. The boys talk about Street Fighter 2, lady boys, and ping pong shows, amongst other national pastimes of Thailand.
Mawkus and his effervescent new spouse took a month long honeymoon through the Orient(thats not racist, right?). The first ep back covers the flight over, Hong Kong, and Beijing.
Back from a longer hiatus than the last longest hiatus, the boys are joined by newcomer Yugo, from all sorts of islands. After some talk of Taken 2 and Air Force One, the ISE team gets into their stalwarts of porn and public defecation. A touching episode.
Back from the longest of hiatuses, Levi, Foz, Mawk, and new guest Adam Frank start season 2 off with a relative bang, conversing on what they've been through since season 1. After plenty of ramblings about bestiality, porn, and incest, Levi does his best to be as racist as possible.
Back from their vacation to meet up with Skillington on the Islands Cayman, the boys talk about mawking, going bental, nandoing and fozzing to all sorts of things, whilst also laying down some skill. They discuss the women's world cup and the finale to the Harry Potter franchise, and the key flaw to the series involving Ginny Weasley. They wrap it up with some stories and tease more to come soon.
Fresh off flipping his Jeep in a car wreck, Levi is joined by the original crew along with long time listener and almost guest Brett, calling in from Vancouver. The gang talk about the wreck, air bud, more strange sex, porn, the southern ocean, Fozzie being called out at a wedding reception, and more.
After dispelling any notion that they will continue to take excessive breaks, the boys get into a now repeating segment where they reflect on shows they watch on TLC like channels. Sister Wives is discussed, as is more strange sex. They then get into movie talk, with reflections on the earlier Fast and Furious movies, as well as a general review of X-Men: First Class. Levi tangents into his recent viewing of the Dorian Gray movie, and the scenes and questions within. AFterwards they discuss which celebrity relationship they'd like to fail the most, and the legality of sexy child nonporn.
Featuring the return of Fozzie to the studio, the boys talk about and then listen to the new segment, "Waka Waka Talk." After much discussion about dinosaurs and which races they correlate to, they go into story telling mode for much of the episode. Mawk explains the horror that he saw on TLC's "Strange Sex", and Levi sums up the difficulty a friend has in teaching at a low income lower school. Questionable amounts of racism ensue.
After the longest break since the inception of ISE, Levi, Mawk and their mini-producer Nando join up live in studio for the first time since the second episode. In this installment, expect a review of the mega-hit Fast Five, as well as the pilot episode of Game of Thrones. The boys swoon at length for the Rock and his ungodly beads of perspiration. They then get into 90's pop culture, including their own experiences with power rangers and rugrats. Before they're done, the gang goes over which ESPN anchors they approve of, and which they'd wish would go into the obscurity that follows a heinous domestic violence charge. Levi also attempts to decipher the psychological implications of what could be Mawk's craziest dream yet.
After a historic week in American history, Mawk, Nando and Levi join up to mention the comeuppance of a horrible d-bag only in passing, as Levi spends more time sharing stories of what or who has angered or made him feel inadequate lately. Nando adds fuel to Levi's horror-fire with a story about how once girls go black, they think they'll never go back. The boys talk New Orleans sports around the NBA playoffs and NFL draft, and discuss the importance of NBA coaches.
Skillington joins Levi in studio after an almost all in person episode was recorded earlier in the week. The show kicks off with the brand new listener-submitted theme song to the show. After celebrating this achievement, the boys delve into handyman tales and questions about racism. Levi and Skillington relive some memories from their past, and Levi shares stories from his life volunteering as a medical student.
Fozzie joins Levi, Mawk and Nando again as they talk mostly about porn and what Fozzie's life has been like since his world has been opened up to it last episode. Levi asks about why girls dress sluttily on purpose, before ranting uneventfully about his friends on facebook. They finish with some unorthodox coverage of the Masters while forgetting to mention Jason Day's hot young wife.
After a short vacation which both Levi and Mawk spent snowboarding in Colorado, they compare their experiences with the oft-debated action sport. They are joined on the podcast by the always outspoken Fernando, as well as a new voice, longtime podcast contributor Hathaway. Levi spends a long time complaining about air travel, followed by the gang exploring what their thoughts and actions would be if one of their seemingly straight friends came out of the homo-proverbial closet.
The boys take a second to argue why nipple color should be used to classify race before Levi reveals who he thinks is the perfect pop-culture corollary to what Charlie Sheen is going through right now. They delve into two of Mawk's recent dreams before reviewing the underrated demonic-child thriller Orphan.
Levi and Mawk are once again joined by Fernando to talk about the Superbowl, the Oscars, and answers emails about which super powers we'd want and what we think of Little Miss Lohan going to jail. Tune in to also hear Mawk's and Fernando's crazy dreams, and Levi's Freuidian analysis of their homo-erotic tendencies.
We stray for a second from the animal world to talk about the sexual lives of wizards, along with a best films of the decade roundup and playoff preview. Hilarity might ensue, we're not sure.
