It sucks!

Welp, here we are. Both Eric and I recorded this a few weeks ago when we were put on a Shelter in Place order via our Governor. Please forgive us for taking a break both of us, I'm sure like everyone else needed some time to just digest everything. We wanted to do a fun episode but with everything going on, Eric and I air or grievances about what's going on. We are frustrated, anxious and overall concerned with what lies ahead. We understand that this is not a political podcast, but this is the one time we allow ourselves to discuss the current state of our country. Tom wrote a piece/plea for folks to stay home during this terrible time, so feel free to read our blog. Look under the section titled 'Ramblings'. Here is our link to that: https://www.peachpoppodcast.com/ramblingsWe highly recommend reaching out to your local charities that help during any crisis, support local businesses, and if you know any nurses, doctors, policemen, firemen, and grocery store employees, please buy them dinner, some coffee, anything to brighten their day. Obviously while keeping social distancing. We owe them such a debt of gratitude. We promise for a better episode next, but in the meantime, stay safe, wash those hands and STAY THE F HOME. We love you, and as always.... Thank you for listening.

We are back at it! Took a week off to spend some time with the families but here we go! This episode we talk about what we're watching, the Royal drama, Leo saves a guy on his boat and the main topic is celebrity activism and whether it's meaningful or just for show. We talk about two of our favorite causes and thanks to celebrity help, they have come a long way.

We hope everyone had a marvelous and safe new year! Sorry for the delay but this might be our longest podcast to date, and was a challenge to edit buuuuut we did it! In this episode we not only discuss, argue, debate, and lightsaber battle over the movies, but we do it with our good friend Andy! Andy might sound familiar because he's the guy who did our amazing intro. A lover of all things Star Wars, Andy sits down with us to talk about his opinions on whether Star Wars is still something to watch and enjoy. We tap into all of the trilogy's, including the final movie, rise of the Skywalker, so spoilers for those who have not yet seen it!

To quote the movie the crow, "There Aint no Coming Back MAN!" If you decide to ignore our warning, well then, god speed and Cage on. Cage on my friends.

STREAMING! It’s everywhere these days. In this episode our main subject is all things streaming. We do however get a little stuck on Disney Plus, because lets face it, it RULES.

We try to discuss HBO Go but run out of time.Other Gems: Eric and I speak on some hot topics going around the web. Specifically Ellen snubbing Dakota Johnson on her birthday party, weirdly enough we watched two different Nicholas Cage Movies on the same day, and talk briefly about the new Tom Hanks movie, It’s a Beautiful Day in The Neighborhood.
