This week's episode was sparked by longtime patron ConstancioD, who asked a fun, behind-the-scenes question: What podcasts do we actually listen to—and why? You'll learn about our tastes beyond the big screen—like wrestling, scams, geek culture, comedy, and more—and what makes a podcast worth sticking with. Non-Movie Podcasts We Love Brent's Picks Kentucky Sports Radio (KSR) – Sports adjacent...they talk about a lot of non-sports stuff too.  Maybe 40% sports. Going In Raw – Pro wrestling talk. Two Bears, One Cave – Comedians Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer. NSFW Business Wars (Wondery) – Company rivalries like Netflix vs Blockbuster. Reggie's Picks Ridiculous Crime – 99% murder-free true crime with flair. Scamfluencers – Influencers who lied, conned, and scammed. Pretend – True stories of people pretending to be someone else. Swindled – White-collar crime with bite. Still Got Legs – Doctor Who rewatch show. MrBallen Medical Mysteries – Unexplainable health cases. Ringerverse – Deep dives into all things fandom (Marvel, DC, etc). Best Friends (Nicole Byer & Sasheer Zamata) – Friendship, comedy, and vibes. The Big Flop – Hilarious takes on business failures. My Mama Told Me – Black conspiracy theories (funny + thoughtful). Dungeons & Comedians – D&D, jokes, and chaotic energy. Movie (and Movie-Adjacent) Podcasts Shared Picks How Did This Get Made? – The gold standard in bad movie breakdowns. CinemaChat Podcast and Ventchat – Hey, that's us! Brent's Picks Streaming Things – Beat-by-beat TV show coverage (Stranger Things, The Last of Us). Scream with Ryan C. Showers – All Scream, all the time (plus other '90s horror). The VHS Strikes Back – Movies only from the VHS era (pre-2005). Now Playing Podcast – Deep-dive retrospectives on entire film franchises. Check out their retrospective list Reggie's Picks The Villain Was Right – Comedy pod where villains are defended. Black Men Can't Jump [In Hollywood] – Focused on minority-led films and their impact. Talk from Superheroes – Superhero movie reviews with serious analysis. The Fandom Show – Guests gush over their obsessions (BTS, Taskmaster, Twin Peaks). The Weekly Planet – Movies, TV, pop culture (Australian legends!). Screen Drafts – Competitive movie lists from guests and hosts. Huge thanks again to ConstancioD for the prompt—it sparked a wonderful, wide-ranging conversation. Let us know your favorite podcasts! What are you listening to when you're not watching movies?

This week Eden and Peter dive into William Friedkin's gritty 1977 thriller Sorcerer, a tense and sweat-soaked remake of The Wages of Fear. They talk through the film's nihilistic worldview, Friedkin's unrelenting direction, and Tangerine Dream's eerie score that pushes the movie into fever-dream territory. Along the way, they share personal stories of how the film lingered in memory for decades, debate whether Sorcerer deserved its original flop status, and marvel at the sheer intensity of the bridge sequence. They also connect the film to broader cultural legacies—from the shadow of Star Wars to the way cult classics find redemption years later.Show NotesOpening catch-upSummer weather updates and life events.Peter finishes Donkey Kong Bonanza and shares thoughts on Taskmaster series 7 vs 8.Music chat: new Deftones (Private Music), Testament's upcoming Parabellum, and the death of Mastodon's Brett Hinds.Work & reading tangents Eden's deep dive into accessibility struggles with LaTeX, Pandoc, and PDFs (“the world's worst file format”).Reading The Apothecary Diaries and Azumanga Daioh; comparisons with Nichijo and City.Listening to Tangerine Dream's catalog and soundtrack prep for the film.Imperfect Practice launch Peter introduces his new blog and YouTube channel, “Imperfect Practice,” focused on experiments with productivity, journaling, and workflows.Main Event: SorcererEden's blind pick, Peter's buried childhood memory of the Tangerine Dream LP, and initial impressions.Full plot breakdown with detailed discussion of:The four opening vignettes.Building the trucks and loading unstable dynamite.The infamous 12-minute bridge sequence.The brutal downer ending and themes of fate and nihilism.Discussion of the title Sorcerer (why it's terrible, Friedkin's explanation).Behind-the-scenes misery, budget overruns, and authenticity (actors did most of their own stunts).The soundtrack's role in creating alienation and tension.Release woes: arriving weeks after Star Wars and being critically panned before decades-later reevaluation into cult-classic canon.Wrap-up Reflections on its heavy but unforgettable impact.LinksImperfect PracticeImperfect Practice on YouTube

They've done so for a very special film: Jake Schreier's Thunderbolts*, a return to the MCU's past glories with a tale of outcasts looking for something to believe in. Yelena Belova, the Winter Soldier, U.S. Agent, Red Guardian, Ghost, and Taskmaster come together to form a new kind of Avengers team; one formed under the auspices of none other than Elaine Benes. Paul, Arlo, and Eric–our own band of lovable misfits–discuss Florence Pugh's killer performance, the lovable David Harbour, what Thunderbolts* does differently than most recent MCU films, and much, much more.   NEXT: we enter VAL-halla for a second Val Kilmer double feature.

The Juice ain't Worth the Squeeze—Media Tracking

The Middle of Culture

What starts as a simple dive into media tracking apps quickly spirals into tangents about puzzles from hell, glamping with bison and mustangs, fistfights with Satan in Pittsburgh, and the glory days of scrobbling music. Along the way, Peter and Eden hash out their very different relationships with games, books, music, and movies—and why, at the end of the day, “the juice is not worth the squeeze” when it comes to tracking everything we consume.Opening catch-up: Eden returns from travel and vents about the oppressive Midwestern humidity.Eden recounts a cursed puzzle vacation and a surreal HipCamp adventure that included glamping in a bus, staying at a mustang ranch, and hearing a wild coma story involving battling Satan.A detour into mobile gaming: Eden introduces the absurd yet addictive horse girl racing game Uma Musume.Peter shares his ongoing love for Taskmaster, Donkey Kong Bonanza on the Switch 2, and recent reading progress (Wind and Truth, Tiny Experiments).Music talk:New releases from Carbomb, Abigail Williams, and Blackbraid.Remembering Eric Wunder of Cobalt, with Peter realizing Slow Forever might be his true desert island album.Main Topic: Media tracking apps and services.Video games: Eden dabbled with Backloggd but finds it too much work; Peter doesn't see the appeal beyond Steam's built-in history.Books: Eden logs reads in a notebook; Peter wrestles with StoryGraph, Hardcover, and Goodreads but finds the friction too high. Notion experiments fail; AI-summarized notes for nonfiction survive.Music: Nostalgia for scrobbling and Last.fm; frustrations with Spotify, Apple Music, and Plex setups. Peter praises Plexamp and Rune; Eden experiments with Cloud Beats and dreams of a NAS.Movies/TV: Eden dislikes fragmented platforms; Peter mentions using Sequel lightly but relies most on Call Sheet, an IMDb alternative. Eden uses League of Comic Geeks only to track physical comics in his collection.Closing thoughts: both agree that while tracking can be tempting, talking to people and communities is a far more rewarding way to discover new media.
