Episode 130 – Farewell 2014

Episode 129 – The War on Christmas

For this week’s episode, we go to War on Christmas!  The worst fears of the Christian right are realized as asshole atheists crap all over their holiday! Actually, that’s not what happens at all.  Instead, we talk about the bullshit war on Christmas and why a lot of atheists (including us) really like the holiday. […]

Episode 128 – NALT

On this week’s episode, we explore the Not All Like That Christians Project.  Endorsed by  Dan Savage in this video, the project was started to give Christians the opportunity to come out of the closet and publicly state their support for LGBT rights.  Our friend Eric Knight joins us for a conversation that includes the […]

Episode 127 – Left Behind 2014

Left Behind has become something of a running gag on our podcast.  Having watched Kirk Cameron’s version of this popular Christian fable and suffered through the atrocious board game, we turned our gaze towards the newest iteration starring Oscar winner Nicholas Cage.  In spite of a considerably higher budget, the film managed to achieve what […]

Episode 126 – Force Boners

Welcome back for a new geeky boner episode!  It has been a while since we’ve explored our latest geeky obsessions so this week we get to spend a lot of quality time with some new fall TV series and some new Star Wars stuff.  Not just the new trailer for Episode VII either.  We also […]

Episode 125 – God Talk

Episode 124 – All the Super-Hero Movies

We were still at Omegacon when we sat down to take a look at the slate of super-hero movies that have been announced recently.  Obviously the Marvel and DC films take the front seat but we don’t forget about Fox and Sony.  It is way too early to know how good any of these movies […]

Episode 122 – Geek Morals

Tim’s wife Pat rejoins us this week to talk about Geek morality.  We look at popular geek culture and talk about the moral lessons we find there and how those moral lessons compare to those we find in other texts like – say – the bible!  We explore the grey areas that can be found […]

Episode 121 – Edge of Tomorrow

This week, we talk about one of the more overlooked sci-fi films of 2014, Edge of Tomorrow or, as it has been re-named for home release, Live Die Repeat.  As is the case with most of our in-depth movie conversations, you can bet there will be a lot of spoilers. In fact, we discuss the […]
