Robots vs Taxes

Well partners... It looks like we have to be moving on. But never fear, this episode is chock full of the things you've come to know and love about the gruesome twosome. It's got us ranting against facebook, right wing propaganda, the raid on Mar-A-Lago, that orange former occupier-in-chief, aliens, Marvel movies, and so many weird tangents to discover and chuckle at. Don't you worry, we'll be back with something new down the road. Til then, keep it real. Keep it right. Song of the week: Political Song for Michael Jackson to Sing by Minutemen

Damn... One episode to go... It hasn't fully sunk in how our little show is coming to an end but nothing lasts forever my friends. We hope you dig this foray into our discussions on the Predator sequel "Prey", Neckbeard gripes, James Franco being cast as Fidel Castro, Pav's respectful disagreement with John Leguizamo and nerdy nerdy nerdy talk about DC characters in the MCU. We hope you enjoy it.

Hey folks! In this episode we discuss demented puppetry and what is currently on our roster of favorite shows to watch. We also play around with velocirapper ideas because - do we really need to justify that? I mean, VELOCIRAPPERS! Pav also makes a surprising 180 in giving the forthcoming Avatar sequels a chance [collective gasp sound]. We explore this change of heart in hilarious detail. All this plus our song of the week: "Teahouse" by Juno Reactor. Join us!

Ok folks! If you have an itch for a full on geeky episode full of laughs THIS IT IT! The guys chat up the torrent of news for SDCC and all the coming nerdy goodness coming out of Marvel. You can also listen to the guys crap all over DC! The gents also quip over the suspicious lack of mention of The Flash movie that has fallen into release limbo, as well as the far more entertaining scenario of Drake vs. Velocirappers. All this plus our song of the week: "Madness" by Ruelle. Tune in to the ridiculousness!

E and Pav have returned... again. But they didn't really go anywhere, they were just hiding from bill collectors after investing in some dog-related cryptocurrency. Tune in as they kill time in between court dates by talking about the decay of modern politics, bad-faith race analysis, asshole Canadian quacks, the bizarre marketing campaign of DC's upcoming blockbuster "The Flash" and of course Thor Thor Thor. Tune in and give us a hug.

Folks...it's been a WEEK! We at RvT want you to know we are with you in rage and sorrow. The guys delve into the shift we all experienced in this country on Friday because of the supreme court. The guys do what they can to make sense of it, but honestly - this is an issue we'll all be unpacking for quite some time. The gents then try to switch gears to the controversies surrounding "What If: Miles Morales" and "Spider-Man: Lotus". The guys wrap it up with the no- punches-pulled by the Amazon series "The Boys". All this plus our song of the week: "A Man Without Love" by Engelbert Humperdinck. ABORTION RIGHTS ARE HUM,AN RIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You got that itch. That politics or pop culture itch that only an RvT episode can scratch. We got you covered. This week we try to make sense of the January 6th committee broadcast, the garbage propaganda of Fox News, the fall of latest white supremacist terrorist group, and Kenobi Kenobi Kenobi. Yeah we said we'd talk about Star Trek, Ms. Marvel and The Boys but we're only two handsome men with handsome thoughts trying to make your handsome lives a lil handsome-r and if that means you have to listen to more episodes then that is a sacrifice we are more than willing to make. So enjoy, you beautiful people. Your friends. Pav n' E

This week the guys geek out hard on the new Obi-Wan Kenobi show currently streaming on Disney +. In their typical fashion, they take a serious and weighted take on the lore and completely turn it into a parody of itself. Listen in on the theoretical first meeting of Kenobi nd Vader after Revenge of the Sith. The guys also touch on toxic fandom, political inaction, as well as the new "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" show. All this plus our song of the week: "All Night Long" by Lionel Richie.

Hey HEY HEEEYYY!!!! We are BACK with a brand new episode! They guys settle in and shoot the sh*t about the events of the day (without pummeling you with bad news). The guys get silly about Chip n Dales Rescue Rangers, Bone Saw McGraw, and anything else that randomly pops into their heads. Pav explores his burning hatred of the movie jumper, while E is accused of egregious offenses against the Notorious B.I.G. and the Russo Brothers. All this plus our song of the week: "Everyone Falls in Love Sometimes" by Bennie Man.

Hey you! Don't reach for that can of mace just yet. Have we got a show for you. It's chock full of Marjorie Greene's Karen-level shenanigans, Kirk Carmeron homeschooling, Elon Musk's gross come ons, the separation of church and state, Women's right-to-choose, Star-Trek-dissing-Moon-Knight's-boobs-chicanery! All of this plus your hand-picked and approved SONG OF THE WEEK: “Burbujas De Amor” by Juan Luis Guerra! Come on and get weird with us!

On a brand new episode of Robots vs Taxes, the guys take on the white-womaning of Marjorie Taylor Greene and her selective memory when taken to task on her involvement in the Jan 6 insurrection. The gents also take on the hilarious (if not predictable) recent developments with Senator David "I don't go to cocaine orgies" Cawthorn being caught wearing women's clothing and looking inebriated out of his bra. We then switch gears and talk about Moon Knight and the stellar acting of Oscar Isaac and the crew. All this plus our song of the week: "I put a spell on you" by Nina Simone. Join us!

Are you anxious because you haven't heard an RvT episode since EASTERS?! Well never fear because we are back and we are jam packed with robotic and/or tax-oriented material. ::Stefon Voice:: This episode has everything, incompetent flat-foots, interracial porno, unified NYers, George Lucas, shitty subway system, Elon Musk's human powered machine chicanery, Jake Steed, POC in horror movies and so much more. Plus we got our patented, dy-no-mite song of the week: "Public Secret" by Estrada

Ok ok ok...we know EVERYONE else has spoken about it...but finally the guys from RvT tackle the slap at the Oscars (yeah we know - you're over it). We break apart our honest feelings both at the initial news, and then the deeper insight gained over the following week. It's an interesting unpacking, of sorts. Then we get into the goodness that is Moon Knight starring our guy Oscar Isaac. We don't spoil too much, but listen in to get our initial impressions. All this plus our song of the week: "Mi Gente" by J. Balvin and Willy William. Join us!

Well, that certainly was an eventful Oscars event! We're talking of course about Jamie Lee Curtis eating a helpless puppy dog backstage to regain her youthful energy. We will talk all about the oscars next week because we need time to analyze all the ins and outs of DA SLAP HEARD 'ROUND THE WORLD! For now you will hear all about racist shenanigans of the mainstream media and the Ukraine conflict, the cheapening of serious subjects by inept movie stars, film directors making racially suspect moves, Laurence Fishburne, Pav's obsession with Atlanta (the show), John Lennon's ghost, Steven Speilberg's cinematic crowning achievement and a SURPRISE GUEST APPEARANCE by a certain baseball hall-of-famer known for his home runs (Not Mark Mcguire because who needs to be reminded right?). All this plus our patented Song of the Week: "Methods" by Charizma Tune in and KEEP JADA'S NAME OUT YA MOUTH!!!

In a world that seems to show you everything is unfair, it helps to have a hot heaping bowl of JUSTICE!!! The guys delve into the latest example of racial injustice and comment on Ryan Coogler's unjustified detainment by police while making a withdrawal at the bank. The gents also delve into the Kenobi trailer and talk about their hopes (and Pav's hate of sand). And finally they delve into The Batman starring Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz. There are many nuanced layers to the film, so come along for the ride! All this plus our song of the week: "Action" by Terror Fabulous and Nadine Sutherland. Tune in!

Did the threat of nuclear war keep you awake? Then did Biden's state of the union address lull you back to sleep? Well RvT is here to provide you with a cup of coffee full of our patented blend of Lauren Boebert and MGT trash fires, Marco Rubio's Russian chicanery, Sam Elliott, Kevin Sorbo, Scott Baio and a bunch of other assholes acting like dickheads. There's so much in this episode you will soil your pants... with JOY! All this plus our patented Song of the Week! "Precious and Grace" by Queens of the Stone Age

Its been a heck of a week...for EVERYONE! Here at RvT we try to give a unique take on the politics of the day. We take a quick tour of the headlines that everybody's eye on the planet is focused on and try to bring some respectful levity to it. But make no mistake...WE STAND WITH UKRAINE. We also delve into pop culture by chatting about Venom 2, Wrestling promos on how utterly insane they are, and the haunting brilliance of the YouTube short "The Backrooms" which we highly recommend you watch! All this, plus our song of the week: "Pop that Pu--y" by The 2 Live Crew.

Once in a while your pals in RvT get the winter blues... And once in a while they use this vulnerable time to bust each others chops because we're a couple of dicks. Set your drinks down and welcome back to our show. This week we talk about Candace Owens' opportunistic Canadian buffoonery, Evangeline Lilly's karening, Kanye's weird implosion and Pete Davidson's rebound Hunka-Chunka talents. Then the show promptly devolves into an existential self-analysis with detours into hating Zack Snyder fans' reaction to the Peacemaker finale. You want it. You need it. Aw yeah, real nice. Song of the week's a great one too "A Born Lover" by Lee Dorsey.

On a brand new piping hot episode of RvT, the gents dive into the political shart that is America as they discuss MTG's "Gazpacho" fears of totalitarianism (hide your vegetables), as well at #45's theft and ingestion of government documents. They also discuss Joe Rogan's racism coming back to bite him in the A-word. Then they guys quickly change gears to take about the trailers for "NOPE" and "Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness". They finish off with their thoughts on the season finale of "Book of Boba Fett" and the underwhelming notes it managed to hit. All this plus our Song of the Week: "Picture Book" by The Kinks. Come along!!!

Hello fellow quaranteeners! As society struggles to find new content in our collectively faded sweatpants, take comfort in the most reliable of podcasts with a political/pop culture analytical slant. We here at RvT studios are ready to serve all (two) of your needs as we talk about vaccine protesters in the marvel cinematic universe, the banning of Art Spiegelman's celebrated graphic novel “Maus” in Tennessee, speculation of the whole Joe Rogan/Spotify drama, the tanning effects of colloidal silver, the mechanics of Mandalorian partially armored sexual congress, the spooky thrills and political chills of Archive 81. Join us in the Bacta tank and let the healing begin while listening to our patented Song o' the week! This week it's “Sex Cauldron” by Dr. Colossus. Enjoy!

Let's get POLITICAL (yeah we know..but it's actually just our journey into political thinking). We discuss what factors in our lives triggered our increased awareness of the issues that effect us and many others to this day. We talk about the future of the country and how the landscape might appear in a few short years. We then pivot to talking about Peacemaker on HBO MAX and how in love we are with a CGI Eagle. All this plus our song of the week: "Knocking On Forbidden Doors" by Enigma.

Oh man this is a manic episode. We start off with the real world just sucking. It's full of bad politicians screwing over regular folk in favor of just money. Plain old money. Compromising their humanity and to make life harder for the working class... for CASH! It's pretty bleak. So we awkwardly switch over to pop culture talk because we want to retain our sanity. Pure delirium. So here comes the Cassette of Boba Fett, an Indigenous Wolverine, a jerk-ass Obi Wan and rants against toxic fandom. A little real, a little crass, a little weird, but always always Pav and E doing their thing. Plus the amazing Song Of The Week: Home Again by Menahan Street Band! May the force be with you champs!

Here we are...10 days deep into the new year! We already have thoughts on New York's new Mayor (GARBAGE!). We won't let reality stop us from scrutinizing the latest business venture of farting into jars and selling it (yes - this is a real thing). Of course we get into the meat and potatoes of analyzing The Matrix Resurrections! You know we're die hard Matrix fans, and as such we delve into the criticisms we have of the film. We still love it though. Join us on this journey! We wrap it all up with our song of the week: "Another Light" by Henry Green.

We're going back to where it all started... Back to Robots Vs. Taxes! That's right, a brand spanking new show. You got your Ernesto and you got your Pav and they're covering topics like the current covid crisis, the "Okay-ness" of the Hawkeye Disney plus show and of course their breakdown of the new Matrix sequel. We have thoughts and opinions galore and if you're curious enough, you can follow the white rabbit and tune into our awesome show. All this plus our Song of the Week: "Send Me an Angel" by Real Life

Spider-man. You know him You know we know him and so we gotta talk about this gargantuan new movie that just came out based on the little Marvel property by Steve Ditko n' Stan Lee. Tune in as Pav and Ernesto are joined once again by one of our great friends: Habib Khan where we talk about the highs and, well, other highs of the new movie and basically geek out on ol' web-head. All this plus our dynamite song of the week: Bleed Together by Soundgarden Be sure to check out Habib's amazing photography (@usercreatedname). It's killer.

It's all about balance! The guys discuss two of their current show binges with frequent guest of the show Jamie Verderame, now known as "The Hand of RvT" (he drinks beer, and he knows things). The trio first delve into the latest episode of Hawkeye on Disney + and its failings, with perhaps a glimmer of things they've done right. They then discuss "Midnight Mass" which streams on Netflix and all of the religious and political commentary packed into an addictive series. We wrap this week's episode with our song of the week: "Sunflower" by Post Malone and Swae Lee.

Isn't it all just awful? Every time you turn on your tv it's just one atrocity after another. Hopefully we can bring you an hour of respite with a brand new episode! This week we briefly talk about the grossness going on with some of our representatives in Congress, but we quickly change gears to talk about Hawkeye on Disney + (and the ways it has surprised us), and also make some constructive suggestions for the show (actually nightmarish - but whatevs). We geek out about the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse trailer, and we do our best to contain ourselves for "Matrix Monday". All this and our song of the week: "I Was Never There" by The Weeknd featuring Gesaffelstein.

Welcome back for Thanksgiving everyone! It's time to blow this scene... Get everybody and their stuff together... and 3 2 1 cancel your netflix subscription. CRACKLE 4-EVAH!!!

Last week was not an easy one, but we're here to try and make some sense of it. We talk about the Rittenhouse verdict with friend of the show Jamie Verderame. Of course, our conversation expands to include white supremacy and the racial / racist history of America. But fear not! We also geek out HARD to the new Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer. We have theories, thoughts, and hopes. Join us on this mixed alcohol of an episode and enjoy the ride as we finish with our song of the week: "This is America" by Childish Gambino. Audio Excerpt: James Baldwin and Paul Weiss Debate Discrimination In America | The Dick Cavett Show (1969)

It is true that no two episodes of our show are alike. To understand the complexities of our conversation is (to put it mildly) to touch the face of god. So take comfort in the truth that you are chosen. You are loved. Join us won't you? We accept everything that you are?! Sure. Whatever. Plus we talk about aliens and that's cool. The song of the week is "Stuck on the Puzzle" which is a great love song by Alex Turner. It's pretty sweet and so are we.

Welcome to our Halloween Spooky Spectacular!!!!! The guys delve into this scary season by touching on the horror of Mark Zuckerberg, and his inhuman approach at relatability as he introduced "Meta" to the world. How the robots of Boston Dynamics are being adapted for military use (who saw that coming?). They also delve into their favorite scary movies and what makes them work (and what doesn't). You may notice they delve repeatedly into some bonus content too hot for regular radio. If you're curios let us know, and we'll put it up on Patreon! All this and a special bonus DOUBLE song of the week: "Spooks" by Louis Armstrong and "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly. Tune in!

Oh hi!!!! We didn't see you there. It's been some time hasn't it? Look...we're sorry about last week. We had technical difficulties. We're pretty sure it was North Korea hacking our recording, but we have yet to prove that. This week we're joined by friend of the show Jamie Verderame. We wax on about politics, Dune (both new and old), theater aversion, MCU delay timeline, the first episode of Squid Game, remakes, and a whole bunch of other nonsense. We cap it off with our song of the week: "1 Thing" by Amerie.

Oh yeah, we R back. You can tell we're serious because we used the letter "R" instead of "are". Only badasses use letters and numbers instead of words. Except maybe Cars 4 kids. That theme song is cheeks. Anyways yeah, so this episode is the one where we go all in on the whole Dave Chappelle mess, Mike Pence's gay conversion therapy, Tik Tok, the scourge of social media and we kinda talk about Squid game. This episode is kind of wild so you'll love it and our dy-no-mite song of the week: "Como La Flor" by Selena! Tune in and find the LOVE!!!

It's time to strap in for a fresh new episode of RvT!!! The guys talk politics and then move on into the latest episode of Marvel's "What If". They then run through their thoughts on Disney's Star Wars: Visions and highlight their likes and dislikes. Finally the two chew on the opening credits and hopes and fears of Netflix's "Cowboy Bebop". We're on the cusp of a bunch of good stuff, so join us and wash it all down with our song of the week: "Tank" by Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts. BANG!

Oh yeah oh yeah oooooh yeeeeeah we got a good'n for you. Pav and E talkin bout the so-called performative politics at the MET gala, Nicki Minaj as a source of news, Keanu Reeves, bodybuilder Ronnie Coleman, celebrities with political opinions and SO MUCH MORE plus our patented Song of the week: "High Anxiety" by Mel Brooks

Finally! RvT has returned...TO THE MATRIX!!!! If you've listened to at least one of our episodes, you know that we are GIGANTIC Matrix fans! The guys delve into the Matrix teaser / trailer so deep you may need to take a red pill just so your friends and family can pinpoint you! We also touch on one or two real life issues, but seriously....we go HARD on cyberpunk goodness in this one. Join us and enjoy our song of the week: "Chateau" by Rob Dougan (of course!).

Well, well, well... what do we have here? IT'S A BRAND NEW SHOW OH MY GOD!!! Not gonna lie, this episode is all over the map. We stay puzzled at the actions of anti-vaxxers, experience maximum schadenfreude, the joys of French diction, Spider-Man's new trailer, Venom, Dane DeHaan, and exploring the depths of the question, "What If". All this and more plus the bonus song of the week! Washing Machine Heart by Mitski. Tune in and find the love!

Need a little something to dry you off after Hurricane Henri? Use a towel. Then fire up a brand spanking new episode of RvT where the guys discuss the latest episode of "What If", contemplate pitching the concept of reverse Terminators to James Cameron, and a whole bunch of other geeky shit. We wrap it up with our song of the week: "Solace" by Amuze.

Put your fears to bed because the bad boyz of podcastin' are back in town!!! That's right you know em' Pav. E. Together. Uhhhhh!!! This time it's personal as the boys cover all the basis: Republican fuckery, Trump brand truck nuts, The Matrix (again, I know right?), the inevitable flop of Warner Bros' Dune, Lord of the Rings kinks, Munich, The Suicide Squad, The Phantom Menace, the first episode of What If...? Plus our DY-NO-MITE song of the week: Fuck These Fuckin Fascists by The Muslims! So put your hands together (even if you're driving) and beat this summer heat with the only podcast in town!

Dear Listeners! Lets broaden our minds! How often has this happened to you: You get home and you wonder how best to tackle the thoughts of climate change, global warming, the billionaire class and their ridiculous dick-shaped spaceships. Then you open up a bottle of your favorite alcoholic beverage and sigh with relief, because the RvT show has got you covered, plus RvT even caters to your mutant-erotica kink that you never even knew you needed. Trust us, we handle with care. All this plus the amazing Song of the Week hand-picked by the most discerning musical gormandizers this side of the Gowanus. This time it's "Partyman" by his-royal-badness himself, Prince. I mean at this point why spend the day with your run of the mill podcasts while you strut about doing king/queen shit when you can delight your senses with RvT? We are here for you.

Thank goodness you've tuned in! We were worried you melted away in the latest heat wave. Pull up a nice tall glass of Pav and E and enjoy our cooling banter. First, after a brief discussion of Goose from the movie "Top Gun" (as is the style of our current times), we tackle the protests in Cuba and pledge our support for justice and equity. We then segway into the season finale of "Loki" on Disney+ and do a brief synopsis of "Black Widow". Along the way we try to convince Pavel to get a mohawk...if you'd like to see him do so, drop us a line at robotsvstaxes@gmail.com. If we get 10 requests then he'll have no choice but to do it!!! Also check out our song of the week: "Open Sore" by Rob Dougan

Flooded subways Inept politicians Has-been actors with shit POVs Truly we are living in an age of marvels.

Join us as we deep dive (Kevin Costner Waterworld style) into the weird fever dream of reality. Lotta laughs in this one, trust us. Plus our dynamite SOTW: Let Me Take You Through My Thought Process by Kinski

Hoping your independence weekend was filled with food, fun, and fighting white supremacy! The fellas are here to start you off right on your second half of 2021! They begin by talking about the future of the Simpsons and how it may end (if ever). Pav and E also talk about the blatant anti-Blackness present in the recent decisions by the Olympic committee across multiple Black athletes and sports. Capping off the episode is a quick look into the latest episode of "Loki" on Disney+. Look - sometimes life seems insurmountable and it can get to any of us. We want to let you know that if you've made it this far, you're a BADASS! Don't let anyone tell you different as you walk down the street confidently listening to our song of the week: "Muy tranquilo (DJ Vitamin D re-edit)" by Gramatik.

In this the 202nd episode, the guys are a little older, a little wiser and still totally game to talk about physical health, shy burps, hateful ants, the multiverse, aliens, Kang the Conqueror, unpaid bills, robot fetishization, body issues, Loki and his boring variant, gerbil cinema and so much more. You know the deal and you know how we do. Tune in people. We have so much to show you, plus our dynamite Song Of The Week: "Don't Stop Me" by QUEEN

The fellas tackle the issue that has brought our nation and the internet to a standstill...does Batman eat pussy?! That's right, the controversy that we have thusly coined "BatPussyGate" will be explored and dissected. We also tackle the colorism that still plagues the Latin community and is prevalent in the new film "In the Heights". We cap this episode off with our song of the week "Obnimi" (Callmearco Remix) by Okean Elzy

They said it couldn't be done. They said it shouldn't be done. They said a lot of things that we didn't really listen to because we were too busy putting together our 200th episode of the ROBOTS Vs. TAXES PROGRAM!!! What better way to celebrate our strange, political, crass, sometimes high brow sometimes incredibly low brow show than to have Pav's long-suffering parents join the show to wax poetic about Avengers Infinity War (which they'd never seen), Aliens, The Pandemic, Our impending technological demise, and so much more in this very special BILINGUAL PG-13 episode. Tune in bask in the warmth that is our show, yet again. Plus our Song(s) of the week: Tu Crees En Mi by Los Vikings de Usulutan and Give Peace A Chance by John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band Happy 200th. We love you all.

It's a show packed with great info and conversation. All this plus our song of the week" "Black Picnic" by Beyoncé. Noteworthy organizations and pages mentioned in this episode: Blackspace.org Ifeomaebo.com creativeurbanalchemy.com

Hello Dear Listeners! This week we delve into "Army of the Dead" by Zack Snyder...and boy do we let you know what we think of this! No filter! We also break down the latest season of "Love, Death and Robots" episode by episode and give you our thoughts. Come hang out with us before you enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day weekend!

MOYDUH! Now that we have your attention, RvT watched the Netflix limited documentary event "The Sons Of Sam" and we got some serious feelings we need to discuss, preferably over cosmos. Naturally things go off the rails and we somehow stuff Star Wars references into what should've been a straightforward crime podcast. Do we understand the meaning of straightforward? The answer is clearly no. And given how much we talk about the Snyder cut, we feel we are owed a lifetime supply of hotdogs from Warner Bros. This is a good'n, especially since we got our pal JAMIE VERDERAME in the house. Plus our song of the week ("Pasado y Presente' by Los Macuanos) is guaranteed to get you in the mood to share an afternoon with us. Tune in, won't you?

We are BACK with a brand new episode! This week the guys have so much to cover in the hour of power that defines your Monday! They discuss the questions behind Thanos' sexual orientation (and really..who hasn't?). The duo also get into the complexities of the Superman and trope and how it's turned on its head in modern shows like "Invincible" and "Jupiter's Legacy". Come along for a geeky ride and wash it all down with our song of the week: "Micaela" by La Sonora Carruseles.

You know who it is and you know what we do! We're taking a short break this week but never fear! We got some fresh unheard bonus footage where we continue our discussion about Marvel's "Falcon and the Winter Soldier" where we look into Cap's new suit, fresh sneaker smells, strong vs. weak writing, John Walker's true intentions, and finally we talk about the animated "Invincible" and its penultimate episode. We'll be back next week with our thoughts on the series overall but for now, let's keep it right! All this plus our amazing song of the week: Gardenia by Kyuss.
