The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, try our hand in a landlocked environment this time going toe to fin against a drug ring masquerading as a bank led by none other than Tom Sizemore.   Where we goin'?

Welcome to Waxing the Porpoise, the podcast that dives deep into the unexplored depths of cinema and occasionally the unexplained. This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve dip our toes into the world of international cinema by way of notre frere Michael Haneke and examine his darkly unnerving and palpably stoic French feature film, Caché from 2005. Join us as we discuss allergies, niche South Korean horror titles that Steve has been deprived of, one of the most intense and disturbing depictions of suicide on film, and endure G-Baby's whinging about French first name spellings.  The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, lay dormant in the shadows while prying eyes lie in wait hoping to force out the hidden truths of the past and the sins of our youth in Caché.

Welcome to Waxing the Porpoise, the podcast that dives deep into the unexplored depths of cinema and occasionally the unexplained. This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve turn to back the clock to 1985 and examine the morally gray crime thriller To Live and Die in L.A. brought to you by the inimitable William Friedkin and which stars WTP favorites William Petersen and Willem "The Hog" Dafoe. Join us as we discuss how this film inspired Steve's dad to join the treasury division of the secret service, one of the raddest car chase sequences of all time, revenge, and the gracefully synchronized movements of William Petersen who makes a strong argument to contest the "Hips" title from our reigning champion and patron saint, Bill "Hips" Paxton. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, we're playing for blood, remember? Ditch the codpiece, we're going in dry.

Welcome to Waxing the Porpoise, the podcast that dives deep into the unexplored depths of cinema and occasionally the unexplained. This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve spy on our tenants in a really odd flick that would have us believe Harvey Keitel was a former behavioral scientist before resigning himself to slumlord motel owner and opportunistic voyeur in 1987's Blindside. Join us as we discuss how this film will make you question whether you'll actually go blind, film production incentives offered by state, Jesse Plemons' weight fluctuations throughout his career, the evolution of movie trailers, and Liam Neeson shunning the use of restrooms. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, steer clear of Harvey Keitel's basket while imploring you dear listener to steer clear of this one altogether.  Blindside, yeah it'll make you wish you went blind.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve raise the flag and welcome back not only returning champion (Ruth's) Chris from the Mount Molehill podcast but also friend of the show Miles to rap about a flick they had both recommended, can't recall who did first - Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky from 1991, a bloody kung-fu exploitation romp covered in viscera. Join us as we dive in fist first to discuss eyeballs popping, head slicing and literal gut busting practical effects that take no prisoners, the difference between flautas and flutists/flautists, the underseen horror anthology gem The Willies, the fact there are zero repercussions for getting hit in your "dead spot", and how Mortal Kombat may or may not have taken a big heaping tablespoon of inspiration. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, stand up to defend the weak, fighting back against the Gang of 4, corrupt privatized prison officials, and Heihachi on a bad batch of steroids.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve take it regional and turn their sights on a series of brutal killings perpetrated close to our hometown focusing on the greater Sacramento area circa the late 1970's to revisit Richard Chase, otherwise known as the 'Vampire of Sacramento' so named due to his predilection for and disturbing obsession with blood. Join us as we discuss Chase's background and relative lack of name recognition comparative to more well known and notorious serial killers, the geographical connection between Chase and the Golden State Killer aka the East Area Rapist and Original Night Stalker, explore the age old nature/nurture debate and lastly speculate on the potential prosecution tactics we're actually seeing now relating to lack of parental intervention and the interpretations relating to the criminal liability of parents as we move into the future. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, steel ourselves once more to examine one of the most depraved figures in California history and hold on to the hope for some kind of retribution in the next life.

Welcome to Waxing the Porpoise, the podcast that dives deep into the unexplored depths of cinema and occasionally the unexplained. This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve tackle Thomas Harris' opening salvo in his Hannibal Lecter series of books in the screen adaptation of the first book Red Dragon directed by the ineffable Michael Mann in the form of Manhunter from 1986 starring William Peterson, Dennis Farina, Tom Noonan and last but not least Bryan Cox as the first (and some would argue best) to portray Hannibal Lecter on screen. Join us as we discuss the many incarnations of the Hannibal Lecter story and mythology across print, TV and film and the various characters and varied actors who've played them, take a look back at now antiquated grocery products, outdated forensic techniques, and learn about region-locked DVDs and Blu-Rays for Steve's edification. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, go full Will Graham to get the scent back and go inside the mind of a killer before the next full moon in order to stave off another round of grisly slayings.

Welcome to Waxing the Porpoise, the podcast that dives deep into the unexplored depths of cinema and occasionally the unexplained. This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve embark on a journey into the heart of darkness (and light) with a discussion centered around Fearless from 1993 starring Jeff Bridges and Rosie Perez - a film that delves deep into the complexities of grief and trauma, fear and the fragile nature of human existence. Join us as we discuss the motivations of the main characters, reflect on the existential themes presented throughout, go on a quick side quest to touch on gentrification, the impending storm of cash-grab sequels namely Twisters, and last but not least annoint Shannon Sharpe as our newest patron saint of the porpoise. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, grapple with the the lack of depth and connection with our characters is this enigmatic meditation on life and death salvaged only in part thanks to Rosie Perez's poignant portrayal of grief as she shines as a beacon of light in an otherwise murky narrative. Twisters better mention The Extreme.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome back our favorite boils and ghoul - Naterade, Thon and Logan of the Ghoulish University podcast for our Valentine's Day special to discuss the 1993 Mike Myers banger, So I Married an Axe Murderer - a film with an exquisite ensemble cast and a smattering of all time cameos from the likes of Phil Hartman, Charles Grodin, Stephen Wright and Michael Richards. Join us as we wax lovingly about early/mid-90's film and pop culture including flashbacks to Carmen Sandiego and Beethoven era Charles Grodin, the oustanding performances of the supporting cast that really tie the room together, react to weirdest things we've ever eaten and get pissed on some good ol' ham fisted Scottish stereotypes. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, dare to give love another chance whilst navigating the slings and arrows of paranoia, familial eccentricities and fear of commitment in a windy and nostalgic trip down Lombard Street.

Welcome to Waxing the Porpoise, the podcast that dives deep into the unexplored depths of cinema and occasionally the unexplained. This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve raise the flag and welcome back esteemed guest of honor (Ruth's) Chris from the Mount Molehill podcast to rap about a flick he recommended - Bad Influence from 1990 starring James Spader and Rob Lowe, a film that Chris has categorized under the sub-subgenre he coined himself "the disruptive stranger" which perfectly encapsulates the essence of the film and I'm stealing the phrase effective immediately. Join us as we dive in fin first to discuss one of the best colloquialisms of all time - in this case for the harmonica aka the mouth harp and almost get sidetracked with future plans to cover Crossroads starring Jami Gertz and Ralph Macchio.  We'll also discuss the films odd similarities to I Love You Man, and touch on G-Baby's new obnoxious Tank Girl/Aquabats/Simon Birch glasses. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, ride the waves of intrigue in this tantalizing punch bowl of suspense, psychological manipulation, and moral ambiguity - just the kind of cocktail we've come to expect here at WTP. Special note - we recorded this episode the day before the terrible news of Carl Weathers' passing and we happened to mention him at the top of the episode by pure happenstance.  Besides being an iconic action star in films we've all seen a hundred times from Apollo Creed to Action Jackson to Predator to Chubbs, by all accounts he was one of the great humans in the world -- thus from this point forth, he shall be posthumously recognized as one of our patron saints.  So pour one out, rest in peace Chubbs - good night sweet prince.

Welcome to Waxing the Porpoise, the podcast that dives deep into the unexplored depths of cinema and occasionally  the unexplained. This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve plunge headfirst into the dystopian depths of acclaimed director Alfonso Cuarón's cinematic masterpiece from 2006, Children of Men - a film that explores themes of hope, sacrifice, and the resilience of the human spirit. Join us as we discuss another Clive Owen led intrigue laden banger, this time supported by Michael Caine's burnt out John Lennon-styled hippie pot grower activist, wax philosophic about faith and chance in perpetually grey London, and finally get to the gut punch that is the conclusion of the film tempered in redemption. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, traverse a landscape where women have become infertile and the world has fallen into depravity and despair - perhaps a modern day parable about just how fragile society really is.  In a world gone mad and set aflame, the porpoises might just be the only ones keeping their cool. It's called a leap of faith Jack.

This week on Waxing the Porpoise G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve will attempt to unravel the mysteries, complexities, and emotional nuances of the somewhat forgotten gem, Devil in a Blue Dress from 1995 which stars none other than Denzel Washington, one of the most highly revered patron saints of this program. Join us as we discuss 1940's post WW2 racial tensions in Los Angeles, pay our respects to Tom Sizemore and flashback to some of our favorite past roles of his, and finally Steve share with us a trifecta of Amazon reviews that will be sure to tickle your ok boomer bone. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, once again find themselves plunged into the depths of the silver screen as we attempt to avoid cinematic detours in post-war Los Angeles with the finesse and swagger only Denzel can bring. Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins?  One of the all time greats.  Stand on it.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve once again dive deep into the murky waters of cinema and surface with insights sharper than a dorsal fin as we cover The Spanish Prisoner from 1997 - a rather interesting PG entry in David Mamet's filmography that unfolds like a meticulously orchestrated symphony that'll keep you guessing, but does it hit the right notes? Join us as we discuss comedy gold by way of Ye, Steve enlightening G-Baby on "The D.E.N.N.I.S. System" and how it dovetails into this picture, the prospect of getting shanghai'ed in a foreign country, and alliteration notwithstanding, the downright diabolically discordant dialogue of this film. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, once again find themselves plunged into the depths of the silver screen. With the finesse of skilled mariners they attempt to glide through the intricate currents of this high-stakes confidence game - a mesmerizing spectacle that unfolds like an underwater chess match, where every move ripples with strategic intent and the waves of suspense lap at the shores of mystery. For any Bone Thugs fans out there, on Crossroads is it "and I miss my Uncle Charles Jones" or "Charles y'all"?

Join us as we discuss equilibrium shifting vortices, New York mayor Eric Adams and why he should do less interviews, address the obligatory confusion between this flick and the Nic Cage Ghost Rider as well as the early 90's PBS kids show Ghost Writer and because we recorded this a little in advance, we'll finish off with a few favorite classic and a couple deep cut holiday flick recommendations as we skate right on by the season and into the new year. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, guided this time by Obi-Wan himself are once again beckoned to follow a mystery wrapped in an enigma all while we try not to get in over our blowholes - may the phocoena be with us.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve are back in force to discuss 2003's The Last Samurai, a film that's like a meditation on honor, respect, and the fine art of not getting your head lopped off.  Think of it as a cultural exchange program where the curriculum includes swordplay and soul-searching. Join us as we discuss how the film attempts to contain the twin dragons of Tom Cruise's Nathan Algren and Kats -"Don't Call Me Mats" - umoto played masterfully by Ken Watanabe, the age old magic movie trope of overcoming substance addiction overnight, and finally we'll recognize Tony Goldwyn as perhaps one of the best underrated movie villains of all time? The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, dare to look inward and overcome our self-loathing to explore themes of cultural assimilation, honor, and the time tested clash between tradition and modernity - time is a flat circle, etc. This is a very good conversation.

Join us as we discuss the perils of over-inflating your child's ego, self pity, and grappling with the idea of who you are in your head versus who you are in the world. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers on the path of redemption, endeavor to overcome the tragic hero's hamartia in this kind of dark comedy, neo-noir, kid on bike crossed with Encyclopedia Brown for adults, all while attempting to dissect the cleverly woven narrative, unearthing its twisted charm culminating in a multiple twist conclusion that had even our porpoise pals scratching their fins in odd amusement.

The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, dare to stare into the void that undoubtedly stares back into us as we approach nexus between religion and science while Steve calls horseshnip on Schrödinger's cat, a claim neither of us are academically qualified to make.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve once again welcome Miles to the show, a man whose insights cut sharper than a surgeon's scalpel to help us pass the blood test and review the once reviled and now widely celebrated, John Carpenter's The Thing from 1982. Join us as we learn what four and a baby means by way of one of the many porpoise patron saints Young Jeezy, stand in awe of Rob Bottin's absolute unit of a hair piece, and discuss more of the background of The Thing including why it was so poorly received initially and now is one of the most highly revered horror films of all time. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, dare to overcome cabin fever and widespread paranoia in this journey through the frozen wastelands where shape-shifters lurk, trust is a rare commodity, and the only thing colder than the ice is G-Baby's ex's heart.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve flashback to a mid-80's horror/sci-fi flick about the end of the world, where a handful of survivors must come to grips with LA becoming a ghost town/zombie wasteland overnight by way of a sinister meteor in Night of the Comet from 1984. Join us as we continue our bootackular part deux to discuss pumpkin variants, getting goofed in the corn maze, play a quick game of "Finish the Lyric" (Young Jeezy edition), and ask ourselves when the world ends, where will you draw your line in the sand? The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, overcome by this celestial nightmare which has breached the sky, defy the gods and press forward in search of safer waters.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve return to horror in order to properly herald the coming of the Halloween season as we give a butcher's to the little known found footage delight called The Borderlands (aka Final Prayer in the US and Canada) from 2013 which has been called the UK's most disturbing found footage film ever, okurrr. Join us as we journey across the pond to brush up on found footage 101, talk about some of the generational tactics employed by religious institutions to bring about pagan assimilation, bumping the Pristiq jingle part deux and our own plan to convert the masses, Steve's fear of confined spaces, and we remember simpler times where we had to lug around a caselogic binder full of CD's in order to get our musical fix. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, bathed in unholy water and cast asunder, seek redemption and reconsecration in the eyes of the almighty god. What's your favorite Young Jeezy song and can you finish the lyric "Cook ya faster than a T-Bone at ____"?

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve take on a brand new flick neither have seen before - a cinematic cocktail that pays homage to the neon-lit streets  of the 70s blaxploitation era to great effect, folded in with equal parts mystery, comedy, sci-fi and maybe a touch of horror in Juel Taylor's directorial debut, They Cloned Tyrone from 2023. Join us across 110th street as we discuss beige bananas, bumping the Pristiq jingle, getting hypnotized by the elementary book fair and those Magic Eye posters, connecting with our characters and I think we'll just go ahead and place Jamie Foxx in the pantheon of porpoise patron saints, he just don't miss. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers grown in a lab and taught to assimilate will rebel and turn against their puppeteers in the shadows.  Off to see the wizard again, or something like that.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve become ensnared in a tale within a tale as we examine the 2016 film Nocturnal Animals, a depressingly dark and haunting tapestry woven in fear, vengeance, and guilt by famed fashion designer masquerading as top notch filmmaker, Tom Ford. Join us as we kneel at the altar of Michael Shannon and Jake G's now routine s-tier performances, ask ourselves what would we do in a harrowing situation such as the film presents us, and reflect on our previous discussion about Orca vs. Jaws with a reading from a one Steven Spielbergo giving our Usual Suspect that straight daddy damage. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers cut from the cloth of darkness and despair at the vanguard of bespoke filmmaking guide us where the line between reality and fiction blur together in this slept on film.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve in commemoration of our historical episode number 69 - nice - welcome back 2 special guests and friends of the show:  Staring Jon, whose gaze could cut diamonds and Chris, whose flag raising and internet crawling voodoo knows no bounds - to settle the score and see where 1977's tale of vengeful oceanic fury Orca sits on the aquatic creature horror food chain. Join us as we discuss Daddy Orca's righteous retribution, an anthropomorphic drunk driving Orca fever dream, inviting yourself to a wedding party, existential dread at Sesame Street Land and once again G-Baby dances with the devilish elixir known as Malort. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, wax and wane in this deep-sea realm where the waters run red with terror and vengeance.  Carcharodon carcharias, rough tooth, rough skin versus Orcinus orca, bringer of death - only one apex predator comes out on top and in this case his name is Will.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve examine all manner of high elevation strangeness involving a murderers' row of different phenomena and paranormal happenings that have been said to be associated with and/or have occurred at Northern California's Mount Shasta. Join us as we wax mountainside on speculation station about some of the lore associated with Mount Shasta including but not limited to magnetic anomalies, the Count of Saint Germain, the Lost Continent of Mu and it's connections to Atlantis, UFO sightings, the "I Am" movement, stargates and much more. If you thought we couldn't help but devolve at some point, fear not - we'll also touch on projectile vomiting and the most effective method of smuggling The Club brand cocktail in a can - both in a movie theater aka "the show" environment.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve once again call upon the auspiciously enigmatic and cinematic maven Miles to help us parse through 1999's intriguingly abstruse techno-mystical game within a game within a reality within a matrix, David Cronenberg's eXistenZ. Grab your VR headsets and get ready for a direct upload of existential dilemmas, hog expansion and warped perceptions in what some might call a precursor to Inception. On this episode we'll talk about the perhaps collective Cronenberg family trauma manifesting as grotesque body horror art, the fatwa issued against Salman Rushdie, the cyclical nature of our world, and gelatinous reptile/amphibian cuisine. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers, dare to gleam the cube once more where in eXistenZ, the truth is as elusive as a hall of smoke and mirrors and reality bends like Beckham. Maybe the real treasure was the eXtenZe we found along the way.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve once again get nautical as we examine the wreckage of two ill-fated marine excursions - the recent OceanGate Titan submersible implosion and it's wildly speculative and conspiratorial connections to the RMS Titanic left in it's wake. Join us as we wax on water about some of the dubious distinctions and red flags held by OceanGate Expeditions and then briefly review the sinking of the Titanic and it's connections to people and institutions such as J.P. Morgan, the Federal Reserve, and BIG OCEAN - question mark. We'll also hear G-Baby espouse the probably made up "Law of the Sea" and finally we'll bring it home with reason number 525,600 that Bill "Hips" Paxton is "The Extreme". So remember, dear listeners, the ocean is a mistress of secrets, and those who dare to uncover them must navigate the treacherous waters with caution. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers armed with their trademark wit and deep diving capabilities, dare to plunge into the abyss of conspiracy that surrounds these fateful vessels.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve go full Bananrama as we ride along the moonlit avenues of an 8-bit 80's synth nostalgia, diet horror mystery trip where curiosity dances with danger to break down RKSS' 2018 jug, Summer of 84. Join us as we got to install microwave ovens, chastise our lead Davey on his uninspired PB&J game, and take the Nestea Plunge into a time when walkie-talkies were the ultimate spy gadget and friendship was forged in the fires of adventure and ripping on on another mercilessly. Where Cruel Summer, kids on bikes, and all things analog reign supreme, the undercurrent of danger and the unknown belie this carefree suburban milieu, glistening with the veneer of innocence. The porpoises, midnight companions and keen observers at the vanguard of the nostalgic labyrinth guide us, their sleek forms cutting through the darkness like shadows in motion. BIKES.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve drop anchor to review the classic film The Last Detail from 1973 about a couple of Navy chasers on a prisoner escort featuring a very young Randy Quaid and pre-Chinatown era Jack Nicholson.  Acting as our compass rose we welcome special guest Matt from the Swords in Stereo podcast - space vampire evangelist, modern day renaissance man and a former sailor himself - to guide us through the siren song of the sea.  Join us as Matt and the porpoises join forces to journey through uncharted waters and discuss Matt's time in the Navy and how it compares to it's depiction on film, the pursuit of mischief in the name of making memories that would force Poseidon himself to blush, and answer the age old question, just what is a shellback? Would you eat a cherry out of a fat man's bellybutton?  Call for a good maritime.

Welcome back to Waxing the Porpoise - a place where secrets lie like forgotten whispers and porpoises bear witness to the most perplexing of tales. This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve turn their gaze back to the unsolved as we breakdown an ongoing story that has sent shockwaves through the heart of Boston, The Curious Case of Karen Read. This episode will focus on the untimely death of John O'Keefe - a respected 16 year veteran of the Boston PD - and his long time girlfriend Karen Read who awaits trial after being charged with his murder. In doing so we'll analyze the alleged cover-up that she and her defense team have put forth which posits that there is a conspiracy orchestrated by high-ranking officials in the Boston and Canton police department's circles of power to frame her for John's murder. Will Karen Read's claims hold water or are they merely the musings of a woman on the edge of desperation? Join us as we attempt to untangle the web that threatens to ensnare a presumably innocent woman. It's a journey that will test your beliefs and challenge your perception of justice. Remember as we embark on this chilling odyssey, the truth can be a slippery creature, hiding in the shadows, waiting to be unearthed. The porpoises, silent witnesses to the unseen currents of this tale, will guide us with their wisdom and intuition.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome back a man whose gaze could pierce through the thickest fog - Staring Jon, the enigmatic oracle of intrigue - to wrap up our Daniel Craig Bond era retrospective with the fifth and final entry in the series, a dark symphony of espionage and treachery, where secrets are currency and the twin dragons of love and loyalty clash with ruthless cunning, No Time to Die from 2021. Join us as we recap G-Baby's dance with the devilish elixir known as Malort from the last episode, who may have overindulged and gifted us with an impromptu performance of the technicolor yawn, explore the depths of Bond's character and the seemingly impenetrable legacy Daniel Craig has left us with and wrap up with some fun Amazon reviews, namely the wild west hellscape of Haribo's line of sugar free gummy bears. Remember, dear listeners, in this realm of high stakes and even higher body counts, one must always keep their wits sharp and their Malort intake in check. And in the case of 5 year old Mathilde, James YOU ARE THE FATHER!

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve once again welcome Bob from the Straight Chilling podcast this time to embark upon a twisted journey where death dances hand in hand with dark humor and porpoises dare not swim to breakdown the comedic desert noir banger from 1998, Clay Pigeons.  Join us as we draw a line in the sand to champion late 90's gems such as The Cable Guy and Romy & Michele's High School Reunion, make a case for the return of coin operated vibrating beds in motels, and blur the line between right and wrong - almost as much as G-Baby's vision after a few too many rounds of Malort.  Brace yourselves for a devilishly delightful discussion that will leave you questioning your own moral compass. And remember, as we venture into this odyssey through the high desert's darkest secrets, beware the allure of Robaire's Rubbers... for once you've felt their touch, there's no going back.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome back returning champion and fellow "Martini Rancher" Chris from Channel 83 to hopefully break out of his slump with our review of Navy SEALs from 1990 starring Charlie Sheen, Michael Biehn, Joanne Whalley, Dennis Haysbert and last but not least, our man Bill "Hips" Paxton is on the menu.  Welcome to America where our main export in this geopolitical action smacker is PAIN and 75% of the budget went to securing Peruvian fish scale for Charlie Sheen. Join us as we dive into an impromptu retrospective of Charlie Sheen's filmography, highlight enough trash one liners to fully satiate G-Baby's echolalia input demands for an entire year, and touch on a couple horrific reviews that serve as an indictment of the American people rather than the movie.  Listen in to find out which actor said that working on this film was "probably the worst experience of my life". If Ted Nugent, John Wayne, and George Washington had a baby it would be Navy SEALs - any questions? Well you know for me, the action is the juice. Let's wax this Sea, Air and Land porpoise.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve answer Cher's timeless question if I could turn back time and head to 1950's Los Angeles to rap about the star studded 1997 neo-noir banger, L.A. Confidential. Join us as we interrogate IMDb and their proprietary "without mercy" rating system, endure quite possibly the best bad review of all time, and ask the question have ye a valediction boyo?  Kevin Spacey does such a great job in this movie you'll be thinking "me too?" - more like "me three."

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome back special guest Staring Jon, a man whose gaze could freeze an inferno and is rivaled only by The Penance Stare.  Together we'll unravel the web that is Spectre, the penultimate entry of Daniel Craig's Bond from 2015. Join us as we examine the convoluted plot that will leave you more than a little "banjaxed", christen the return of Monica Bellucci with an oath of fealty to her dumper, and opine about a brighter future that includes a sequel to Blue Streak. Be warned, as we dance with shadows and sip from the chalice of treachery, there's no telling who will emerge unshaken or stirred - or if our dear porpoises will ever be the same again.

Join us as we discuss this surprisingly layered film that is no doubt punctuated by some intensely choreographed action set pieces, add to Logan's well of gay fan fiction, patricide, and debate on the better assassin gimmick - dual wielding hammers, baseball bat, or raptor claws? You know I always thought bucket hats were kinda Streisand but Bunawar's really rockin' it in this one.

Join us as we sip on a few adult beverages and discuss why Jade is the better David Caruso vehicle, get treated to a Freddie "Rock Me Tonight (for Old Time's Sake)" Jackson appearance that G-Baby was particularly fond of and discuss the importance of fusion cuisine through the lens of the burrito in an ever-evolving world.

We'll hear about the reality of being a secret service member from the perks to the day to day grind to the sacrifices that come with the territory - and hear more than a few interesting stories along the way.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome back special guest Staring Jon, whose piercing gaze has been known to make grown men weep and porpoises wax themselves in fear. This unholy trifecta has united once again for our continuation of the Daniel Craig era Bond retrospective, this time examining the third entry Skyfall from 2012, a film that's akin to a finely crafted martini: it's sleek, it's sophisticated, and it packs one hell of a punch. Join us as we discuss how this Bond's psychological depth and emotional complexity sets it apart from the rest, take a quick Prometheus / Noomi "We Were So Wrong" Rapace detour and finish off with a bad review that almost ejecto seato cuz's G-Baby out of his seat. Tip up your cup, throw your hands up and get ready to wax poetic - who knows, maybe Staring Jon will even grace us with a glance... if we're lucky.

Join us as we discuss the Tomfather's time as a medic and firefighter before ultimately joining the police academy and then hitting the streets.  Along the way he'll share some fun and insane stories which really illustrate how crazy of a job being a cop truly is.

This week G-Baby and the Usual Suspect Steve welcome special guest, friend of the show and Zaxby's enthusiast the Natening aka Thon from the Ghoulish University podcast to discuss the verdict and aftermath of the Alex Murdaugh murder trial. Join us as we attempt to separate belief from certainty as guided by the evidence, unlike the jury, take a look at the evidence that was (and wasn't) presented to the jury to decide - did the state meet their burden, and learn the difference between voir dire and bauhaus.  Strap in and get your Tums ready for a discussion that might ruffle some feathers because one of the hosts may end up on the Rushmore of unpopular opinions. Let's wax this Lowcountry porpoise. https://linktr.ee/waxtheporpoise  #6weektrial #45minutedeliberation #jurynullification #waxit Appreciate Nate aka Thon for joining us to discuss this one, even though he couldn't get a word in edgewise with Steve leading the charge, the pleasure was all ours.  Be sure to check out his show Ghoulish University for a fun flashback to the Tales From the Crypt series available wherever you get your podcasts.
