Inception recently turned 10 and since we can’t see Christopher Nolan’s new movie yet, we thought this was the perfect time to revisit Inception… that dream within a dream… within a dream.

Was there supposed to be a 3 month gap between part 1 and 2 of our overlong musical extravaganza? No, absolutely not. Is it worth the wait? Same answer.

Anyway, here we are trying not to sound too pretentious about our favorite music of last decade. It doesn’t go well in that particular regard but stick around until the post-credits if you want to hear some bad Wisconsin accents.

Next episode will be better!

Probably.

The Crown (season three) – Popcorn Not Included

We show our ignorance of and love for Britain in this extensive discussion of The Crown’s latest season.

When we recorded this episode Queen Elizabeth II was, in fact, 93. Rather irritatingly, she had a birthday since then making us wrong about yet another thing. Don’t come to us for facts about Britain.

There’s a reason we don’t usually try and talk current events – the story often changes before we get our episodes out. Irritating. Who needs that?

We recorded this episode weeks ago and talked broadly about the Democratic presidential primary which has changed quite a bit. That’s what we get for trying to talk about politics.

But don’t worry – there’s other junk in here and eventually we get around somehow to Space Jam 2 and Dolph Lundgren. So all is well.
