Happy (almost) New Year, Randomers and Randomites.
As 2020 approaches (and no, we're not making the hindsight joke), we thought to ourselves what would be the best way to close out the year 2019. One filled with many goings on and more advancements in humanity every year. Then the answer hit us. Star Wars. So yes, we're going to talk about Star Wars and also talking about the audiences that follow not just Star Wars but all major mo...

Merry Christmas Randomers and Randomites.
Stranded on Christmas Island, we are bound by the universe to put out a Christmas-type episode. So here we go. Patrick joins us and we're going to talk about Christmas movies. You know the ones we're referring to. We talk the supposed classics, our favorite, some Christmas memories and we even tackle the age old question as to whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

Hello Randomers and Randomites.
Live from the Dandy Mini Mart in Ithaca, NY, we're back with a completely random episode involving wrestling, football and some World's Strongest Man stuff, along with other sports talk and movies because, as you probably can tell, we never have a damn plan when we come in to make this stuff. Sometimes it's just where our mind takes us or what we were talking about in the parking lot before we started...

To use the standard Hollywood defense in regards to bad continuity, time traveling wizards!

Hello Randomers and Randomites.
How many of you have ever heard of a pipa? Probably not many of you. It's an ancient Chinese stringed instrument, sometimes referred to as the Chinese Lute, dating back as early as the Qin Dynasty (221 BC - 206 BC). Well today, we at the Carnival, and Rochester in general, are extremely lucky to have here one amazing pipa player, Leah Ou, she of O's Pipa. With many performances in the Rochester area u...
