Hello and welcome back to BOP! After a bit of a hiatus, we're presenting our Cross Con episode! Not only do we discuss movies like Incredibles 2, and not only does this episode feature the return of our old bud Mike Sklens, but we actually added an episode of Rough Draught into the mix. So for each film we discuss, we're also going to be giving you the skinny on a different local beer. Once you've finished the episode, if you've got any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to send them via email (crosstawk@gmail.com), Twitter (@crosstawk), or in the comments section on the website. Thanks for listening, and be sure to tune in next Friday for another brand new episode of BOP!

It's (sorta) that time of year! After an unfortunate delay, I'm proud to present the 2017 Cross Con episode of Box Office Poison! This time, Stan Ferguson and Mike Sklens couldn't join us in Los Angeles, California, but our good buddies Jesse Laier and Jon Lindemann were able to join Jonny, Jon, and I to round out the crew. This time, we discuss War Machine, Alien: Covenant, Mindhorn, and more before answering a very interesting and dense email from our pal Rob from Toronto. Then, it's time to talk about my pick for Movie of the Month: Air Force One! We'll see you again this Friday to go over Post Office Poison, so if you've got any questions, comments, or concerns, send them to crosstawk@gmail.com, Twitter (@crosstawk), or the comments section on the site. Thanks for listening, and we'll see you in five days!

Hey everybody! BOP is back to talk about all the latest movie and movie things. Stan couldn't make it but we managed to get friend of the show Jon Lindemann on for the first segment where we go over our Spotlight film, Finding Dory, before getting into Independence Day: Resurgence, The Fundamentals of Caring, more Warcraft, and Eye in the Sky. Then we swap Lindy out for good ole Mike Sklens as we discuss Jonny's pick for Movie of the Month, The Congress! Want to ask the crew something for the next episode? Send an email over to crosstawk@gmail.com or to Twitter(@crosstawk) and we'll get to it next episode. Also be sure to head on over to iTunes to leave us a rating and review. We'll see you in two weeks!

It's been 12 months since Cross-Con 2015 took Karl Castaneda, Jon Rind, Mike Sklens and Jonny Metts to Nashville to hang out with Stan Ferguson, and as has become the tradition, that means it's time to listen to the episode of Rough Draught that we recorded one calendar year ago! This episode's pretty special, not just because we tried five all new beers, but also because we sampled Angel's Envy Rye Whiskey, a rare treat that took us way over the threshold into some kind of drunk wonderland. After a surprisingly measured and thoughtful 90 minutes of beer reviews, we descend into about 30 minutes of the kind of rowdy idiots you've come to associate with the Beer Appreciation Show. Want to show your support? Head on over to iTunes and leave us a rating and a review. And if you have any questions you'd like for us to answer on the next episode of Rough Draught, you can let us know via email (crosstawk@gmail.com), Twitter (@crosstawk), or in the comments section on the site. Thanks for listening, guys, and be on the lookout for Cross-Con 2016's episode of Box Office Poison to go up early next week!

A bit late, and probably a dollar short, BOP is back! Unfortunately, Jon couldn't make it this time, but we DO have returning hero Mike Sklens on the show, and it's a good thing, because he's got months of movie-watching to review! First, though, we start with spotlighting Creed, the new film in the long and storied Rocky franchise. There's a lot to dive into, and a spirited discussion sprang forth. We also get into Mockingjay Part II and The Good Dinosaur. Then, in our second segment, we discuss Mike's pick for Movie of the Month: Opening Night. Did we lose ourselves in Gena Rowland's on-screen breakdown, or were we left cold with the bitter, bleak atmosphere the film set up? You'll have to listen in to find out! Have a question, comment or concern for BOP? Let us know via email (crosstawk@gmail.com), Twitter (@crosstawk) or in the comments section on the site. Thanks for listening, and come back next Friday for our giant-sized Star Wars special!

Sorry for the delays, folks, but we've got a brand new BOP! This time, Mike Sklens couldn't make it, but we gained an all-new Mike - Michael "TYP" Cole, who you might know from such podcasts as Radio Trivia: Podcast Edition at NintendoWorldReport.com! It was great having TYP on, so we made sure to make it an extra-great episode, starting with an all-in discussion on The Martian before moving on to such films as Grandma, The Visit and The Walk. Then, in Segment 2, we move on to our Movie of the Month: Jacob's Ladder. Did we learn to let go and love this movie, or are we still suffering from PTSD after watching it? You'll have to listen in to find out! And be sure to come back next month when we discuss Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Have a question or comment for BOP? Let us know via email (crosstawk@gmail.com), Twitter (@crosstawk) or in the comments section on the site. And be sure to head over to iTunes to leave a rating and a review. Thanks for listening, and we'll see you in two weeks for more movies and more movie things!

We said it would never happen... but finally DMP is addressing The Beatles. This is actually a very special episode, not only for the long-awaited topic, but also for being our first ever, four-person live show on Discover Music Project. Recording it as a gang of four (Karl Castaneda, Stan Ferguson, Mike Sklens, and host Jonny Metts) in Chicago for Cross-Con 2014 gave us both an excellent excuse and an intriguing format to approach The Beatles. Rather than try to summarize their extraordinairy career or pull selections from each album, the roundtable setting allowed us to bring four different sets of personal picks. These aren't necessarily the best or most popular Beatles songs, but rather eclectic highlights that each carry special meaning to one (or all) of us. Hopefully, you'll find a new favorite or at least give further consideration to a few overlooked, maybe even overplayed songs. And of course, it ends the only way imaginable, with a little help from my friends. Special thanks to everyone who has requested this episode over the years -- please enjoy! Karl's Set: 1. Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey (The White Album) 2. Tomorrow Never Knows (Revolver) 3. Helter Skelter (The White Album) Stan's Set: 4. Something (Abbey Road) 5. She's Leaving Home (Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band) 6. While My Guitar Gently Weeps (Love) Mike's Set: 7. Paperback Writer (Past Masters) 8. And Your Bird Can Sing (Revolver) 9. I've Got a Feeling (Let It Be) Jonny's Set: 10. Twist and Shout (Please Please Me) 11. Rocky Raccoon (The White Album) 12. I'm Only Sleeping (Revolver) Encore: Joe Cocker -- With a Little Help From My Friends

BOP's back and ready to entertain! This time, Mike Sklens couldn't make it and Stan could only attend the second segment. So to kick off the first segment, Karl, Jon and Jonny discuss The World's End, Drinking Buddies, Prince Avalanche, Titanic and more! Then, for Post Office Poison, we takcle such subjects as Day-and-Date VOD, erasing comic book movies from existence and whether watching Love, Actually makes you less of a man (Hint: it doesn't). Want to send in your own question for the BOP crew? Hit us up via email (crosstawk@gmail.com), Twitter (@crosstawk) or the comments section on the site. Thanks for listening, folks!

Hey everyone, and welcome to Rough Draught: The Beer Appreciation Show! A very special occasion took place over Memorial Day Weekend - Jonny Metts put up Jon Rind, Mike Sklens, Stan Ferguson and myself in Boulder, CO as we recorded a handful of podcasts for Crosstawk (and one for NintendoWorldReport.com). The first episode we recorded was none other than this very show at Southern Sun Brewpub. When we told them we were looking for a semi-quiet space to start the show, they decided to blow our minds with free samples of all 20 of their beers. So we discussed all of them, not only making this the first Rough Draught to have draught beers, but the most beers we've ever talked about in a single discussion. I hope you enjoy this one - it's probably my favorite episode of Rough Draught yet. And please, if you find yourself in the Boulder/Denver area, make the trip to Southern Sun on 627 South Broadway. It'll be worth the trek, I promise. Keep an eye on this feed, everyone! We've still got two more Crosstawk shows to upload, including Episode 56 of Box Office Poison and yet another Rough Draught. And you can listen to the episode we did for Radio Free Nintendo right now on NintendoWorldReport.com! If you'd like to hit us up, you can do so via email (crosstawk@gmail.com), Twitter (@crosstawk) or in the comments section on the site. And if you could find it in your hearts to leave a review for us on iTunes, I'd surely appreciate it. Thanks for listening, folks!

Hey, folks, and welcome to a brand new episode of BOP! This time, Mike Sklens coudn't make it, but the rest of us had plenty to talk about, from Life of Pi to Compliance to the Jurassic Park movies and more! Then, for Trailer Trash, we went over Spring Breakers, Chuck Hank and the San Diego Twins, Fast and Furious 6 and, finally, Mud. And remember, guys, next episode is the big 5-0 and we need a LOT of listener mail for our first segment. Send those questions, thoughts and concerns to crosstawk@gmail.com or via Twitter @crosstawk. You can also leave your comments on the site. Thanks for listening, everyone!

BOP's back and ready to roll, folks! This time, Mike Sklens couldn't make it, but the rest of us were here to talk about Lincoln, Silver Linings Playbook, Beyond the Black Rainbow and even speculate a bit about the upcoming Jobs movie being written by Aaron Sorkin. Then, in the second segment, we cover our Movie of the Month, OSS-117: Cairo, Nest of Spies. How did we react to the French Austin Powers starring Jean Dujardin? You'll have to listen to find out. Have something you want us to talk about on the show? Let us know via email (crosstawk@gmail.com), Twitter (@crosstawk) or in the comments section on the site. And when you're done, head on over to iTunes and leave usa  rating and review. Thanks for listening, folks!

FEATURING: For RFN's 300th episode, we discuss the Wii like we never have before, covering the Wii from its debut as Revolution at E3 2005, right up to the present day!And we've brought friends as well: Billy Berghammer, Craig Harris, Michael "TYP" Cole, Karl Castaneda, co-founder Mike Sklens and, of course, our escaped editing slave, Greg Leahy!

After a long hiatus, the original co-host of DMP is back! Mike Sklens returns to the show to present one of his favorite bands: The Hold Steady. These guys not only rock hard but also flood your ears with quick-fire lyrics that are mysterious and often funny. Lead singer/guitarist Craig Finn has a very strange vocal method, but it becomes more familiar and more mature as the band's material evolves through time -- so stick with it! After just a few songs, it's easy to hear why Mike loves the band, and you will probably start to grow on The Hold Steady as well. Here's the setlist: 1. Most People are DJs (Almost Killed Me) 2. You Gotta Dance (Almost Killed Me) 3. Ask Her for Adderall (A Positive Rage -- Bonus Track) 4. Your Little Hoodrat Friend (A Positive Rage) 5. How a Ressurection Really Feels (Separation Sunday) 6. Same Kooks (Boys and Girls in America) 7. Party Pit (Boys and Girls in America) 8. One for the Cutters (Stay Positive) 9. Slapped Actress (Stay Positive) 10. The Weekenders (Heaven is Whenever) 11. Our Whole Lives (Heaven is Whenever) Encore: Lifter Puller -- Plymouth Rock (The Entertainment and Arts) Motion City Soundtrack -- Plymouth Rock (This Is For Real) Be sure to rate and review us on iTunes, send your emails to crosstawk@gmail.com, and leave a comment at crosstawk.com. Look forward to next time, when Jonny and Mike reach Episode 50 (DMP's two year anniversary) and bring things full circle.

FND is back, and it's a big of a special episode this time. Instead of the usual informal discussion, Zach decided to take a page out of NWR Connectivity's book and dedicated a full episode to general knowledge trivia. Do you know more than our favorite bunch of Alaskans? (Note: You may!) In any case, when you're through listening, what you really ought to do is go on over to iTunes and show your appreciation by leaving a review. This is the best way to get the word out about Crosstawk and general, and I know I speak for all of the people who contribute to this little corner of the internet when I say that we'd all be in your debt. So please do so. Please. Jon Rind is inconsolable. Mike Sklens can't sleep at night. Jonny can't even bring himself to listen to Phish. Only you can prevent forest fires (and our depression). That aside, we'll see you this Friday for a new Discover Music Project!

A bit of a short show this time, folks. Jonny and Stan couldn't make recording, so it's just Mike Sklens, Jon Rind and myself. But we made do, with talk on Batman: Year One, The Ides of March, Paranormal Activity 3 and even some debate on Back to the Future III. In the second segment, we dicussed our Movie of the Month: In Bruges. We'd all seen it before, and we pretty much spend the whole segment gushing about it. Next month, it's Mike's pick, and we'll be talking about Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. Thanks for listening, guys! If you have anything to say, let us know via email (crosstawk@gmail.com), Twitter (@crosstawk) or in the comments section on the site.

It's the eve of iOS 5, and iPhone 4S is just about to hit the market, so we thought it'd be fun to give our take on the new hardware (or lack thereof) as well as the latest release of Apple's mobile OS. And to do that, we had to bring in a rather large crew. Aside from myself, there's Jonathan Metts and Andy Goergen, Grant Buell and Mike Sklens. All of our opinions were slightly different, so I think we had the full spectrum of reactions. Want to let us know your thoughts? Let us know via email (crosstawk@gmail.com), Twitter (@crosstawk) or on the site. As for the other guys, you can follow them on Twitter as follows: @DrewMG (Andy), @grantbuell (Grant), @jonnymetts (Jonny) and @StrikerObi (Mike). Thanks for listening, everyone. We'll see you in a few days for a new Box Office Poison!

Hot off the presses, it's a brand new episode of Hardcore Nerdography! Mike Sklens is on his way out for a weekend of adventure and intrigue, and as such, he left it to me to upload and publish this episode. And since he JUST gave it to me, I have absolutely no idea what's discussed in this episode. Do they discuss the relative merits of Marxism? Possibly. Will Mike stab somebody? It's unlikely, BUT I JUST DON'T KNOW. My guess is that Dante will, at some point, say something offensive about women. Seriously, this episode could be anything. It could be an hour of interpretive spoon-drumming. It could be a five minute turkey-call lesson. The stunning horrors or delights held within are a total mystery, even to me, your humble presenter. So listen. Because I'm at work and I can't, and I probably won't until tomorrow. So you'll know more about this than me. It's your only chance to get a leg up on me when it comes to this shit. Also, and I rarely say this, but you should really write us a review on iTunes. Every time you don't do it, I get suuuuuppppeeeerrrr fucking pissed. Well, I don't. But come on! We're nice guys. Reward our efforts. You can also email us at crosstawk@gmail.com, tweet us @crosstawk and write comments on the site. So that's Hardcore Nerdography. Dooooo iiiiiiiit.

From the mind of Mike Sklens comes Crosstawk.com's latest series: Hardcore Nerdography! Every episode, Mike, along with his girlfriend Amanda and their pal Dante, will shoot the shit about whatever happens to float their boat. That might come off as intentionally vague, but that's only because it is. On the premiere episode, Mike, Amanda and Dante basically discuss everything under the sun, from parking tickets to Animal Crossing buffoonery to awkward pictures of children at Disneyworld. Truly, this podcast is the happiest place on Earth. When you're done listening, be sure to send in all of your thoughts, questions and concerns to crosstawk@gmail.com, follow us on Twitter (@crosstawk) and rate/review us on iTunes. Those of you who go through with that last bit will get an extra special prize: our undying affection. It might not be worth monies, but something something something! Come back on Tuesday for the return of Crosstawk Sports!

From the mind of Jonathan Metts comes Crosstawk.com's newest addition: Discover Music Project. In it, Jonny and Co. will discuss music that at least one person on the show isn't terribly familiar with. The hope is that, by playing the very best from that genre/band, they (as well as you, the listener) will expand their musical horizons. In this debut episode, Jonny's showing off one of his personal favorites, Phish, to Box Office Poison and Rough Draught's own Mike Sklens. You might have a lot of preconcieved notions about Phish (and their dirty hippy fans), but I think you'll be plenty surprised with how much there is to like. Here are a few links pertaining to things discussed in the show: - Beavis and Butthead Phish Crossover:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4O_X8E2zzE - Endless Boundaries:http://www.endlessboundaries.com/ - Phish Live in Miami in December 2009:http://www.livephish.com/live-music/0,523/Phish-mp3-flac-download-12-28-2009-American-Airlines-Arena-Miami-FL.html - The Encore's Tribute Concert:http://stash.nugs.net/attics/cat050924.asp?artist=62&show=330&cmd=shows As always, send all of your questions, suggestions and concerns to crosstawk@gmail.com As Jonny notes towards the end, we're absolutely looking for your input on future episodes, so get writing! Also be sure to head on over to iTunes and rate/review us, as it's the best way to get the word out. Jonny and Mike did a fantastic job here, so I know you'll enjoy the episode. Come back next week when Karl Teaches Kontinuity returns!

Box Office Poison returns! Mike Sklens couldn't make recording this month, but Karl, Jonny, Evan and Stan are back with tons of movies to discuss, from recent releases like Scott Pilgrim and The Kids Are All Right to classics like F For Fake and Twenty-Four Eyes to not-so-great outings like Across the Universe and Rent. In our second segment, our Movie of the Month for August is the infamous Caligula. Will the gang like the movie as much as Jonny does? You'll have to listen in to find out!

Just as promised, here's the latest episode of Rough Draught, recorded a few days ago up in Tallahassee, FL. Jon Rind and Mike Sklens are back, along with TAWK-112's Michael Casper, our buddy Antonio Siqueira, and Mike's self-proclaimed-reluctant girlfriend, Amanda Albert. Recorded on the 3rd of July, we decided to celebrate the eve of the birth of our nation with some All-American brews made and sold right here in the States.

So after taking a trip up to Tallahassee, Florida last weekend, I'm ready to debut the first podcast of the all-new, all-awesome Crosstawk family. It's called Rough Draught, and I'm pretty excited about it. Each month, Jon Rind, Mike Sklens and myself will pick up three to four beers and then rate them for your listening pleasure. For Episode 1, we picked up three trappist beers, also known as beers brewed by trappist monks inside monastary walls (not to be confused with abbey beers, which are also brewed by monks, but don't meet the same strict criteria). First up we'll be trying out the Chimay Bleue, followed by the extremely rare/expensive Westvleteren 12 and finally the Koningshoeven La Trappe Quadrupel. All three were really great, but you'll have to listen to find out which one was the best.
