Back on June 21, 2024, Bone thugs-n-harmony's debut EP Creepin' On Ah Come Up turned 30. Over on my YouTube channel I made a Short hyping up a video and a podcast. While it has been over half a year since that short, we are still in the time frame of its 30th year. Better late than never I supposed. I hope you enjoy this bit of a review / retrospective!

Happy Fourth of July! And welcome back to the Mind of Smoothie Podcast! After an extended spring break, I am back, and I couldn't think of any better way to make my glorious return than to watch and share the 2003 film Aquanoids . In keeping with my tradition of watching and commenting on a holiday themed film, this is the one I chose. I could have picked Jaws , I could have picked I Know What You Did Last Summer , but no I chose Aquanoids. Enjoy it for what it is, but it is certainly no Uncle S...

In honor of St. Patrick's Day I am finally getting around to covering the 1993 cult classic Leprechaun!

I started the episode and got the intro and outro recorded but when it came to the main show, something always came up. So here we are on the 21st but it is Saturday so there is that?!
