I don't know sh!t about video games, but Damon Shaw, Jason Grade, Chris Mitchell, Dan Janes and of course Josh Month's own Josh VanValkenburg do, and if you listen, you will too. Oh yeah, Mike Ortiz is there but only for a second.

Chris keeps on reading, and this time it's more Superman! Our favorite Englishman lends his ephemeral eloquence one again to the Last Son ok Krypton. This time out it's 2 very different pieces. First up he tackles the effusive words of Quentin Tarantino with Bill's monologue about Superman from Kill Bill Volume 2. Then he goes totally old school (and kind of American) with The opening from the Adventures of Superman TV show (and radio show for the most part. The radio show didn't have "and the A...

The Browncoats are coming, the Browncoats are coming! And Damon Shaw, Mike Ortiz, Jerad Formby, Patrick McCartney, Kirky Wade and Gary Tognetti are with them! They are talking about the BEST OF FIREFLY. Hear them wax poetic about the short lived show that only seems to become more powerful in death than it was in life. Just like Obi Wan Kenobi and Jesus. I'm not sure if this episode will make Firefly fans happy or angry, probably both, but more angry. Turns out they can take the sky from you, bu...

Once a year an elderly fat man in red traverses the globe violating airspace and nearly triggering a nuclear holocaust just to bring toys to mostly undeserving children. You know to cover that much ground he must be either traveling at an incredible velocity, risking massive shockwaves or using some sort of warp technology and risking a wormhole implosion that could suck the entire planet into a black hole. All in all a pretty risky endeavor any way you slice it. Sounds like some sort of thrill ...

To help cleanse the pallet of the manifesto he just read, Chris reads a true classic. Green Eggs & Ham by Theodor Seuss Geisel, a.k.a. Dr Seuss. It is one of the most beloved books of all time. First published in 1960, its is the 4th best selling english language children's book ever. Even Mike read it during the childhood he didn't have. It's a wonderful fanciful story brought to life by a wonderful fanciful man. Thanks Chris! This is the kind of stuff Chris Reads should be doing. This and ...

This one is Mike's fault. Ted Kaczynski was a nut. Not the crazy tin foil hat wearing ranting nut, that's fun, but rather a dry, intelligent, academic nut and his manifesto is no different. A thoughtful critique of Industrial Society and Its Future. A deep well thought out, well written dissertation on the economic and social issues of our time that contains many interesting points and a call for change. He then supports it by blowing sh!t up and killing people. Way to Teddy. Listen all the way ...
