Hear us ramble on about the outcome of the 87th Oscars, how it is to put on a live theatre show, the difference between working ON a TV show vs. working for a finishing house, Sodas and the intake of things that poison our bodies, Tiny House Nation (link below), and the things that we’ve learned about ourselves from our still recent moves to the city of angels. We also jump back to hear the outcome of the 3:10 to Yuma story from last week, and leave you hanging about the Academy Award Winning do...

This 24th episode brings us to topics such as the casual pace of TV drama, 24, the bizarrely science-fiction based universe of Fringe, how it takes a team to put together iconic pop culture television shows, the desire to build a Millie McCormick bigature, skirting around Carlos Castaneda's spiritual exploration in the Don Juan book series, earning a "trail name" (like Fishdix) while train hopping across the country, the sea of difference and uncanny similarities between the few prominent intern...

Today on High-Dere, Ian & Joe put on some goggles, tuxedos and 10 gallon hats to explore overindulged, overpopulated and overfunded worlds of human behavior. We converse about the overpopulated dairy farm industry, the observance of massacres (and most other major holidays) with sugar-coated addiction and Hallmark cards, recording our show above Tony Stark's underground garage, "Weird Al" receiving a golden #HollywoodHandy at The Grammy's, Chris Gaines and his country side project, Garth Bro...

Today on High-Dere, Ian & Joe attempt to discuss the hidden elements of our world that for some reason, the overall public fails to see, at times, even when it's dangling in front of our face. From Congressional mis/dis-information crooks who might as well be black-bagging stacks of our cash, to the probability that we as human beings might not be the only creatures in the galaxies or even in our own solar system. We eventually wrap up the evening with the notion that everything that happens...

We also hear how forging a friendship and partnership are ridiculously s...

During today’s episode, we look back on the event that jump started the impromptu launch of High-Dere. From a seemingly off-the-cuff movie viewing and podcast episode came the most golden shower we could have ever imagined, which set us off on a roller coaster ride for the next 24 hours. We went from having no ideas how to work our back end and only having a url, to launching a basic but sweet as hell landing page, complete with a full length preview of our first episode and self-masturbatory em...

On our premiere episode, we talk about “Tusk,” the bizarre new midnight movie from @thatkevinsmith. With special guest host, Martyn, Ian and Joe react to the 4:20 screening of “Tusk” which was followed by a brief (but overall hearty) Q&A, in which Kevin spent over half his allotted time answering Ian’s question. And wouldn’t you know it, Joe got it all on video. With three different perspectives on Smith’s previous body of work before going on, our 3 heroes spend the show unwrapping a warped...
