This week's episode is the brainchild of our guest and season 13 (the season of chaos) is a perfect time for it. Billy Rae is a wonderfully multifaceted talent who was kind enough to join us and share that special time in one's life where we start to form who we are attracted to and who we will be moving forward. For many of us, an important part of our sexual awakening occurred on screen (with a major thanks to video stores!) It is a special time and we start there and move into a very fun...

For many of us, the first media we engage with, is animation. A powerful art form which can bring such joy and elation to a youthful soul or melt the faces of older souls with unprecedented levels of violence and carnage.

Our guest for this walk on the anime side is Chris Boylan who is an indie writer, Filmaker, and animator. Together we discuss this confusing yet awesome sequel as well as play a...

Ok. Here is a weird one. But host Dirk Marshall wanted to talk with Nolan McBride (Dead Ringers Podcast.) Nolan's podcast looks at double features or movie pairings and so it just made sense that a collaborative double feature be the subject for this episode.

The movie is a magician and assistant preforming a magic trick so who would be the perfect guest?
