Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose cover the inspirations behind Ace Attorney! After being so well-behaved last time, this episode the crew gets particularly unruly, and even attempts to usurp Ben as host. Bombs, chemicals, and well-endowed actors are the name of the game here! Columbo always gives us a nice place to blow off some steam, and if the silly string isn't enough, we also consider the mellified man, an Ace Attorney d...

Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose cover the inspirations behind Ace Attorney! This episode we're taking one last detour, this time in Lupin the 3rd, which is maybe not a direct inspiration on Ace Attorney in the traditional sense, but certainly is in the cultural mix (remember Mask☆DeMasque?). We talk about several episodes from season 1 of the original anime and debate which one of us is which member of the crew (we can't ALL...

We're back with more Lupin, as Leblanc takes us even further into the world of copyright dodging with several tales of the thief's encounter with the great detective... Herlock Sholmes!

Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose cover the inspirations behind Ace Attorney! After already having some Columbo, we're going back to the fridge at 2:12am for more Columbo.

What do we think of the culprit, the art theming, and several e...

Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose cover the inspirations behind Ace Attorney! Today we're starting with one of the classics: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first Sherlock Holmes novel, A Study in Scarlet!

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
