Early Access: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Review & Discussion

Hey everyone! As promised, here is our discussion on 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' recorded just minutes after we saw the movie on Thursday night. This is the first time we've talked about a movie immediately after watching it in a movie theater so our thoughts weren't as organized as if we'd been taking notes but we still found a lot to talk about and tangents to go on - as you can tell from the runtime.  

If you've seen the movie, tell us what you thought of it! Did you...

BASEketball Episode Update!

Hey everyone, sorry for the delay between episodes. We sat down to record our episode on BASEketball a couple of days ago and as we were nearing the end of our discussion our sound mixer decided to stop working. We’re working on troubleshooting the issue and should have it fixed by this weekend. We didn’t want to put out an unfinished episode though so we figured it best to wait until we can wrap things up. Again, we should have it figured out by this weekend. Thanks so much for your pati...
