For as long as people have been creative, the topic of selling out has also unfortunately been present. Fortunately, for us, we decide to tackle or begin to tackle what it might mean to sell out. Of course we lay down some definitions so that we're not all over the place completely but we also pose some questions and provide examples as to what a sellout in a creative space could be or might not be but we tend to think of them as s...

Record Store Day or RSD, if you're into the whole brevity thing started off as a great idea, to get people's attention back into supporting independent record shops and luckily for us, this also helped bring about the resurgence of vinyl and vinyl collecting a couple of decades ago. But as with every good idea, doesn't always stay as pure as the intent might have been? We do a little digging around and add our collective two cents ...
This week's topic is "cancel culture". We know, we know… There are no other phrases that might deter people quicker than a heart attack. Well maybe "tax season" or maybe "doctors visit "and a favorite "visiting our parents house". Anyway, we don't just start naming people and listing off all the bad things they did even though we kind of do but also we try to get into the thought process of what people mean by cancel culture...
Chances are, we've all gate kept something we've enjoyed as an entertainment at some point or another. Maybe some of us are thinking we are doing it with the purest of intentions and maybe some of us do it just to be complete jerks but in this episode, the fellow talk about some of the examples they've experienced, some examples of gatekeeping that they themselves have done in the past or maybe continue to do and they try to get in...

The topic of being mainstream or too popular or even lack of popularity has been an evergreen conversation since time began, or ever since we started taking joy in the forms of entertainment that we do now. But what does being popular or even mainstream mean really? In this episode, we took a look at some of the numbers going back all the way to when it began… That is, 1970 when Black Sabbath released their debut album. What...
In this installation of our favorite director deep dives, we tackle the drama genre! We didn't realize what a task this actual category would be, and while some of our names might be repeats from past categories, you might be none to surprised to find out that both Aaron and Nick share some of their faves in the exact same ranking. Tune in to see who was left out and who was mentioned as we tackle our top 10 favorite drama director...
You know how it goes, if you're part of any collective group that's taking part in some form of entertainment, you have a mental idea of do's and don'ts, an invisible set of guidelines that would probably benefit everyone being entertained at the same time as you so that you can all collectively enjoy what's happening around you but real life unfortunately isn't always willing to play along. In this episode, we get up on our "old g...

Taking a listen to 2010's "The Grime and the Glow" and also 2011's "Apocalypsis", we once again trip all over ourselves talking about exactly what hooked us in those early albums and early performances we managed to c...
In this episode, our paths just so happened to cross with one of the masterminds behind Irish Voodoo/Black Voodoo Records... the man, the myth, the Megadeth fan: Daniel "Danny" King! As you'll be able to tell, Danny is a fan of music from all over the place, but he's a person who likes to put the spotlight on some of the local talent around him. For this, I'm pretty sure some of the bands that have been chosen to be amongst the eli...
Returning to our world-famous top 10 lists, and continuing on our journey to document our favorite directors, this time we take on our favorite comedy directors! We keep saying this is tough, and it really is because it's incredibly easy to overlook something that is a favor, and it's also incredibly easy to have recency bias, but I think we did all right.

Coming up in the music scene as the fellas have, they were always aware that three albums always had the tendency to split fan bases apart. These would be: Entombed's "Wolverine Blues', Carcass' "Heartwork", and Sepultura's "Roots". We know there are tons of others, but this is where our conversation starts. Plus, we catch up with what we've been listening to and what we've been watching, check it out!
There's this weird affliction that tends to hit people and the only real symptom of it is they collect things. Whether it's out of habit, therapeutic or for some other weird reason, a lot of us do it and a lot of the people we know do it. So what do we collect here?
