We are back with our last two-part vacation episodes, but not our last vacation episode. Stay tuned for that. Today, we are dialing it back to May of 2022 when the stars aligned for an unforgettable Movie May: B Movie May!
Low budgets, high talent, and a veritable who's who of the Golden Age of Hollywood before they were stars.

Vacation Rewind: The Remix Part 2

Two episode drops in a single day?! You betcha! The second half of The Remix is now live as well!

Vacation Rewind: The Remix Part 1

While not intentional, we're sticking with this month's secondary theme by dusting off extra-large episodes. Double shots for all!
This week, we are hitting both parts of The Remix, in which we change all sorts of pop culture for the better and possibly for the worse. Mostly the latter.
Enjoy!

Vacation Rewind: Time Travel Part 2

Part 2 of our Time Travel discussion from 2020 finds us getting into the more esoteric and weird stuff regarding physics and philosophy. It's a lot of fun, enjoy it!

Vacation Rewind: Time Travel Part 1

Our first classic episode is the beginning of a two-fer! It's one of our favorites from when we were podcasting A LOT, all the way back on April 1st, 2020. I wonder if anything was going on when we made this two-part episode...*insert thinking emoji here*
Anyway, if you're hearing this for the first time, enjoy the first part of our deep dive into Time Travel--theoretical, fictional, and philosophical. If you've heard this episode before, enjoy it again!

Dark Matter Redux

We are wrapping up our month of podcasting introspection with the grand finale: a deep dive into the script that's been moved from hard drive to hard drive for over 15 years: Dark Matter.
Is it good? No! And we meant for it to suck!
Want to know why it was written? Then listen to this episode!
Any interest in hearing some terrible acting? No? I don't blame you but YOU'RE GETTING IT ANYWAY. 

Game of Thrones Redux

For the first time in 5 years(!) we return to the realm of Westeros to talk about a longstanding favorite, Game of Thrones. 
A one-of-a-kind show that as time has moved on from the bad controversial finale, is proving that it was likely the very last of its kind.
Get comfortable as we get back on the King's Road for one more trip to the Seven Kingdoms.

Third Spin Redux: The Music of John Carpenter

We are back with our second episode for The Occasionalists Redux, a full album review in the spirit of a monthly minisode, The Third Spin. We're bringing it back to take another look at the music of the great director and composer John Carpenter.
We'll be listening to "Lost Themes IV: Noir," the latest album from Carpenter (and son Cody and godson Daniel Davies), giving it three full spins (listens) and taking you through what's changed in each new spin.
We also make a fun little list at the end of the minisode involving Carpenter's movies.
