WE'RE BACK! Out in the world, we ran into an anti-Trump demonstration, so we broke out our recorder and had a great conversation with an organizer (and nurse) named Karen.  We talk COVID, Policing, bringing the country together, and more!   Questions or comments?

Not that this is news, but Jeffrey Epstein is a monster.  Or WAS a monster, come to think of it.  We knew about his crimes, we knew about his plea deal, and we know about all the conspiracy theories surrounding all of it.  Today we take a quick look at the Donald & William Barr connection, but most of all we learn more about how this vile human lived on easy street during his original time "behind bars."   Questions or comments?

This week we start off a little differently as we get to know Twitter's The Nerdy Vixen, who has recently gotten quite a bit of attention for her new best friend:  Abigail the Totally NOT Haunted Doll. But while getting to know all about Abigail was both fun and terrifying, there's so much more to talk about!  The Nerdy Vixen is an active and outspoken member of The Resistance, doing her part to help dig America out of the Orange Mess that we've gotten ourselves into. We talk 2020 candidates, Medicare for All, courts, the Census, activism, getting out the vote, and so much more! Make sure you follow both of them on Twitter, because the last thing we want to do is make Abigail jealous!   Questions or comments? You can find us all over the social medias!

Jeff wanted to make sure Jennifer saw Atomic Blonde ASAP, to see if she got the same, huge "feels" that she got from Wonder Woman.  The feels definitely weren't the same, but they were intense.  We talk about the ins-and-outs of this extraordinarily-badass action/thriller, and we do it without giving away the twists and turns of the complex, intrigue-filled plot!

Our first-ever journey to San Diego Comic Con took a lot out of us, whether you measure that by energy (and therefore why it took us over 2 weeks to add this final podcast) or by stuff (RIP our digital recorder).  But did we have fun?  You bet we did! This first trip to the BIGGEST Con, however, was as much a learning experience as it was a good time.  To that end, we wanted to record this wrap-up to both discuss the various things we saw (tons of Hall H panels, but also some other things) and to provide some useful information for people that are planning to be first-timers themselves.   You can find a lot more SDCC 2017 coverage on the Pod of Thrones website: http://www.podofthrones.com Questions or comments?

One of the very few audio recordings that made it out of Comic Con alive, we're happy to bring you a short interview with an incredible artist!  Christopher Clark was doing some painting right there on the exhibit hall floor, and when we saw the vast array of amazing, nerdy art that he and his cohorts were offering, we had to stop and talk to him.  He very graciously took some time to tell us more about his work, and also offered some great advice for aspiring artists. Visit him on his website, where you can learn more about him and view portfolio of both pop-culture- and classically-inspired works!   You can find a lot more SDCC 2017 coverage on the Pod of Thrones website: http://www.podofthrones.com Questions or comments?

Like most couples, we look back on 5 years as a couple by recounting tales of chest-bursting Aliens and other nasty stuff from Prometheus and the recent Alien: Covenant. Then we talk about this weekend's movie-date with a dive into Wonder Woman!

Having fully intended to wax poetic about the awesomeness that was Guardians of the Galaxy 2, we first go deep into our recent viewing of the gripping documentary 13th, the evils that have been knowingly perpetrated on the African American population, and how - just when Obama might have had us pointing towards the right direction - the exact same awfulness is coming around for a new run.  And then we finally talk about Guardians a little bit!

It's been a while, but we've packed this episode with tons of recent nerdy consumption, and couldn't help but get into the social issues surrounding some of this stuff. First up, MST3k is back, and we're already in love with the first offering: Reptilicus!  This movie contains what might truly be the worst special effects to ever make it into a non-hobbyist motion picture. Also, since last we spoke, we watched the entire run of Iron Fist.  We discuss the goods and bads of the casting, the acting, the fighting, and the writing. And finally, Jordan Peele's marvelous film Get Out.  This one touches on all sorts of taboos and leaves us with no choice but to discuss what is or isn't racism.  Great stuff! As mentioned during that discussion, a couple great podcasts that Jeff subscribes to that recently covered Get Out: Black Girl Nerds No, Totally!   Like what you hear?

This super-sized weekend needed a super-sized episode, as Jeff & Jennifer marvel at the incredible action of John Wick 2 AND dive as deep as they can (without losing their minds) into the latest President Trump press conference.  What's worse:  A pencil in the ear from John Wick, or "alternative facts" in the ear from Donald Trump? We have a hard time deciding! John Wick 2 Trailer February 16th Press Conference   Like what you hear? We would LOVE it if you tell some friends, or write a review on iTunes or Stitcher!

This weekend, we tell the stories of last week's crazy-bad kid-full weekend, including both an update to the tale of Jennifer's alcoholic mother AND a trip to the hospital that didn't involve Jennifer's alcoholic mother.  We also discuss new horror movie Rings (co-starring beloved former-Griswold Johnny Galecki), and then Jeff catches Jennifer up on some of the lower-points of the Trump administration since our last recording on Inauguration Night.

Fueled by despair, Jeff and Jennifer talk about the Donald Trump Presidential Inauguration.  As hard as it still is to believe that he's actually our President, it appears to be true... unless nothing is real at all, of course, in which case our biggest problem is that we're all living batteries for The Machines.  Doesn't that almost sound better? We take a look at Trump's immediate tax increase for middle-class Americans, his impossibly-bad choices for his cabinet, and we brace ourselves for the world of Potential Grizzlies. And yes, Jeff has since realized that what he meant to say was, "There is no spoon." As mentioned on the episode: White House website touts Melania Trump's modeling and jewelry line Fact Check: Fetal Funerals A Look at Trump's Cabinet Picks Citing grizzlies, education nominee says states should determine school gun policies On His First Day in Office, Trump Raises Taxes on Middle-Class Homebuyers     Like what you hear?

Early last year, Jennifer shared with us a long tale of growing with parents who are addicts.  This week, she shares some updates on her mom's continuing issues with addiction, how this affects the family, the "fun" of trying to get her mom the long-term medical assistance she needs, and what she thinks the next steps will be. Some information about mental illness, addiction, and homelessness.

  It's the December holiday season, and that means it's STAR WARS TIME!  This year, Disney has gifted us Rogue One, a Star Wars tale designed to thrill the detail-oriented super-nerd in all of us... or almost all of us.  Between Jeff and Jennifer, one of them loved this movie, while the other was underwhelmed.  Lots to discuss and debate, but one thing that no one can argue: BEST VADER EVER!!!!

Jeff & Jennifer had a quiet, kid-free Thanksgiving, but did their best to ease the pain by dorking out on the Xbox (Rock Band; Skyrim), trying out Jackbox and the HTC Vive with some friends, and watching one of 2016's top-ranked scary movies:  Hush.

Mr. Smokler just released his new book, Brat Pack America: A Love Letter to 80s Teen Movies, and he generously agreed to sit down with us to talk about John Hughes films, other beloved 80s movies, modern 80s nostalgia, and the dark, awful truth behind Gremlins.

This week, Jeff & Jennifer take a break from pop-culture nonsense to talk about election nonsense.  Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 White House race, and now Jeff is scared for every other race out there.  How did Trump win?  Are minorities and Muslims going to be OK?  They take on politics, economics, Black Lives Matter, and more!

  A few months ago - in an effort to help Jennifer with her health - Jeff planned out a spa day... of a sort.  This was a special kind of spa where you stick a tube in your butt and let the world's cares just wash away.  Yep, they got colonics!  And yep, it took a LONG time for them to be ready to talk about the experience, but here it is!

This week, while the kids were away, Jeff and Jennifer watched all three of the newest Star Trek movies in less than 24 hours!  They agree that Star Trek was a very fun reboot, they give split reviews about Star Trek Into Darkness, and Star Trek Beyond was a lot of fun, even with the excessive death toll and oddly-familiar plot. Familiar plot?  What movie did Star Trek Beyond seem to lift its villain and climactic ending from?  Listen to find out what movie and why!

WE'RE BACK! Jennifer is now recovering from some super-fun spine surgery, and she wanted to try out going to the movies in her super-comfy neck brace.  After a discussion about chiropracty and Jeff's very sad childhood experiences with "pets," they dive into a deep, spoiler-laden review of the new Ghostbusters reboot.  Was it entertaining?  Absolutely!  Did it make sense to include the original 80s cast while not acknowledging the 80s movie in the slightest?  Not at all!  Anything else?  Plenty, so be sure and listen in to our big Ghostbusters 2016 review!

In their 3rd movie exchange, Jeff & Jennifer pay tribute to Prince by watching 80s epic musical drama Purple Rain, which Jeff had never seen before. Then, Jeff again digs into the world of 80s martial arts movies and has Jennifer watch Police Story 2, a wacky tale of ... well, it's hard to say for sure.

This week we celebrate all things Star Wars! Or, at least, all the things we could fit into an already-super-sized episode. Not one, but TWO guests join in this week: Lifelong Star Wars fan Karalee, and lifelong Star Wars fanatic Drew. We all share memories and favorites, and Drew teaches us quite a few things about the deeper Star Wars universe that we never knew before. May the Fourth be with YOU!

This week, Jeff and Jennifer ponder the newfangled idea of the binge - watching whole seasons or even series in a very short span of time. Is it amazing? Is it terrible for us? Is it, perhaps, the downfall of humanity? Darn those kids today and their dangnabbit YouTubes! Get off my lawn!! Also, Yogurtland is awesome.

We took a week off (for Pod of Thrones marathon recording sessions), but we're back, and just in time to eulogize a musical genius. We loved this crazy, purple man, and we mourn his tragic, early passing. Sadly, Prince wasn't the only celebrity death this week - we also pay homage to Chyna as well as two non-wrestling-watchers can. RIP, you two!

Jennifer & Jeff dive DEEP into Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Along with enough spoilers to choke Jor-El's Kryptonian DragonHorse, they dissect the many sources that this movie drew from, including The Dark Knight Returns, Rocky 4, a thing that happened to Superman in 1992, and Injustice: Gods Among Us. Kevin Smith, Get Outta My Head!

A peek at a new podcast from Jeff & Jennifer that's about one of their all-time favorite TV shows. The Game of Thrones full-series recaps start with a trip to Winterfell, where we meet the main players of this most-deadly game: The Starks, the Baratheons, and the Lannisters get the complex intrigue going right away. Also, there's a guy named after the local weather, a human-shaped hound, and a whole bunch of adorable killer wolves... and all that is still just the tiny tip of the Winter-is-Coming iceberg! Want more? Look up "Pod of Thrones" on your favorite podcasting platform!

Jeff and Jennifer talk about beloved video games of past and present and how easy it is to get sucked in, but they ain't got time for that right now because of their upcoming Game of Thrones podcast project! Then it's over to this week's release of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice with a discussion of the best Batmen ever, murdering villains, DC's joyless universe, and whether or not the new movie is kid-friendly.

David Lizerbram, host of Products of the Mind, joins minds with our podcast to teach us how the world of intellectual property law keeps us from seeing Wolverine and Captain America in the same movie, prevents Etsy crafters from going completely unchecked, and allows YouTube to be an eternal sea of homemade cover songs. Follow him at @DavidLizerbram and check out his show!

Ryan Reynolds looks like an avocado you could sit on, and Jeff & Jennifer are thrilled with the new Deadpool movie! Is Vanessa really just Deadpool's girlfriend? Doesn't Angel Dust look strangely familiar? Didn't we see Deadpool fight Wolverine once in a much lesser film? Spoilers lie within!

In the conclusion to this enlightening interview, John from Kind Deliveries helps Jeff and Jennifer understand the many, many options that a medical marijuana patient has for treatment, the hurdles a patient faces when trying to travel outside of their home state, and a little more about the differences between how *illegal* weed affects people versus totally *legal* alcohol.

Jeff & Jennifer are joined by John from local marijuana dispensary Kind Deliveries! He gives them an eye-opening education on the world of medicinal cannabis and the larger world of pharmaceuticals. Watch for the cliffhanger as Jeff reveals something SHOCKING, and be sure not to miss next week's epic conclusion!
