(Wrong audio originally posted, re-posting with correct audio)
Sometimes, the weather and the mood just need that ambient accent of Folk-Celtic Fusion-Medieval-Rock music, ya know? Autumn just feels like the right time for Loreena McKennitt, Blackmore's Night, Lord of the Dance, and many of the other music styles we talk about in this week's episode.Today's root beer is Filbert's.

The third novella by Stephen King from the Different Seasons collection is arguably the go-to for nostalgia in film. Following the four perfectly cast boys as they follow the train tracks towards the end of summer, childhood, and the body of a fellow youth, we can remember our own experiences coming of age.
We also pay tribute to the iconic James Earl Jones who recently passed away at the age of 93.

One of the great comedic duos of the modern age made us laugh with racial situations, ridiculous reactions to mundanity, and other kinds of social commentary seen through the eyes of laughter.
If you haven't ever seen their sketches on the Civil War reenactment, Obama's Anger Translator, the text message misunderstanding (which we think everyone has experienced at least once!), or the beloved substitute teacher, Mr. Garvey, well, then…..YOU DONE MESSED UP, A-A-RON!!!
Today's root beer is Gold Mine.

“Shome thingsh in here don't react well to bulletsh!”
We discuss what Brant considers a dang-near perfect film(albeit a very “guy” movie): action-packed, political, intense situations, great music, excellent acting from a scattering of gems, AND the film is only PG!
It also doesn't hurt that Sean Connery looks so cool, or “austere”, Andrew says.
Today, we got Culver's burgers to go, complete with fries, cheese curds, and Culver's own root beer on tap.

Not exactly something we geek out about, per se, but we do enjoy entertaining some of the ideas people have come up with to claim we are all being duped! From Roswell aliens and faking the moon landing, to the idea that Finland isn't real, birds aren't real, or reality isn't real, some have us scratching our heads, while others might just have an air of possibility surrounding them. We take a light-hearted look at the more popular conspiracy theories from all around the globe….. hint, hint.

Stars and planets and meteorites, oh my!

“Whose footprints are these?”
This week we talk about our favorite parts from one of the greatest video games of all time! The complex gameplay, the intriguing characters, the weapons, the plot, even the music…. Metal Gear may have been one of the most “secret black projects”, but Metal Gear Solid is one of the most well-known and fun games ever! (IGN #36, IMDB #5!)

The second Stephen King novella from the Different Seasons collection. We talked about the book and its subsequent film. Quite dark, extremely heavy, and definitely not “Shauna friendly”. We both agree, we're not really geeking out about this particular one. If WWII themes, murder, or David Schwimmer bother you, trigger warning!
Today's root beer is XXX. Don't worry, it's still Shauna friendly!

We each grew up watching a variety of musicals, from Annie to Ziegfeld. We've even gotten to perform in a few on stage. Also, we both got caught up in the storms that were Phantom of the Opera and Les Miz. In many ways, narratives through music make the stories and even the emotions portrayed much more poignant.

With the relatable “every man” talent of Tom Hanks, perfectly blended with the quirky cuteness of Meg Ryan, the 90's gave us America's sweethearts. We talk about their four films together and how they just fit in ways that might only happen with “movie love”.

For our centennial episode, we deep dive into what it meant to us to grow up in the 80’s and 90’s, and experienced firsthand how being a geek went from being a social pariah to a mainstream protagonist of American culture and entertainment. We’ve helped geek movies be the highest grossing films of the year. We’ve helped video gaming go from a casual pastime to a religious devotion. We’ve even learned how to apply geek wisdom to our parenting techniques to raise geek children!

….and then we continue going over the top with the acclaimed sequel album. If Bat I is Steinman’s idealized teenage fantasy, with Bat II, the teen has grown up and is now dealing with the crushing effect adulting has on those dreams. Peter Pan was right; we should have stayed forever young!

We discuss each of the songs, and how they have influenced us and countless others.
