What a fun episode we have this week! Paul McGinty and Ian Sharpley of Mcsoss return to the podcast to discuss the music that has shaped their lives. We discuss and break down songs that make us sad, happy, angry, and everything in between. Why does Niki Minaj make Paul so sad? What one hit wonder of the 90s did Ian do a super deep dive on? What cheesy eighties song hits me right in the feels? The answers to all these questions and so much more! You can find Mcsoss on all major social media platforms and everywhere you find podcasts. Homework assignment for the next several weeks of shows: Tell me about what songs make you sad. What songs make you happy. What songs can you no longer listen to anymore for whatever reason.

This week we examine the full Masters of the Universe: Revelation trailer. We also discuss some of the social media blow back. Is it justified or is it fanboys being fanboys? Also, we give a McSoss summer check in with an update on our summertime, air-conditioned TV/movie watching agenda.

On a very special episode of McSoss this week, we take a look at the concept of separating the art from the artist. Sometimes the creator of something that we cherish turns out to be not such a great person. How do we reconcile that? Don't worry, this episode is still a lot of fun and we even get into discussing our reaction to Kong Vs. Godzilla.

After a brief cameo by Paul from McSoss regarding The Flash, Larry gets into his thoughts about the newest superhero mash-up, Justice League, discussing each hero individually and how they come together. Larry also gets into his thoughts on why he thinks this movie, which has underwhelmed critics and audiences alike, is significantly better than than Thor: Ragnarok, which has been met with almost universal acclaim. Is Larry being objective, or is he letting his life-long nostalgia for Superman cloud his judgement? Listen to find out!
Paul from McSoss.com and Brian aka Spud are back again and it's (mostly) about music this week. Spud's current favorite artist is the New Zealand singer Gin Wigmore, so the trio get into what it is that Spud loves so much, how Elle King rips her off, and how her sound has evolved, or devolved, over the course of four releases. They also get into talk about Foo Fighters, Candlebox, Guns N' Roses, Alice Cooper, and more. There are clips galore and Larry performs brief renditions of Only Women Bleed by Alice and Easy Come Easy Go by Gin. Photos by Brian Szczypinksi aka Spud. Find his work on Instagram @Brizzle1677
This week Larry is joined by his old pals Paul from McSoss.com and Brian aka Spud and they get into a smorgasbord of topics: summer movies, music, and lots and lots of TV including (but not limited to) CHiPs, Bosom Buddies, Quantum Leap, the list goes on. They also touch on vampires and zombies and Paul is blown away at the revelation that Chris Pine's father was the Sergeant on CHiPs.
Larry is joined once again by Paul from McSoss.com and as always by Jess as the three of them break down the career, and sex appeal, of Sir Sean Connery, going through his list of credits and having a number of laughs (the liquor was flowing on this night). They also touch on Burt Reynolds, Diane Lane, and even some music videos. Enjoy!
Paul McGinty from McSoss.com is back this week and he is a big comic book fan. It makes sense, then, that he and his cohorts host the weekly McSoss Comic Book Podcast. After their last encounter Paul loaned Larry the graphic novel Batman: The Long Halloween and they convened to discuss the book, other comics, movie adaptations, and what brought Paul to comics in the first place. They also dip into some awards season stuff and even a little Super Bowl talk. Larry also plays more Aerosmith for Drum Groove of the Week. Enjoy!
Couldn't get enough of Paul from McSoss.com? Well he's back for a third go round. This week Larry and Paul start off with a discussion of Man of Steel, get into some DC vs Marvel stuff, touching on everything on TV and at the multiplex. They then get into some more Star Trek and Star Wars talk, complain about George Lucas, Michael Bay and Roberto Orci, and somehow bring it back to music. Paul also declares himself THE Star Wars fan and laments its overexposure. Drum Groove of the Week dips into the Aerosmith well yet again, because why not.
Paul from McSoss.com is back and he and Larry talk about Star Trek. And Star Wars. But it's not the debate you'd expect from a die hard Trekkie and a die hard, uh, whatever Star Wars fanboys call themselves. The two find a lot of common ground, talk about JJ Abams' contributions to both fanchises, wax nostalgic about their youth and discover that they crossed paths before they met without knowing it! Drum Groove of the Week dips into the Aerosmith well yet again as Larry reminisces about his days jamming with Paul. Oh, and the show actually sounds good now!
