On today’s episode we discuss a movie loosely based on The Odessey and nominated for 2 Oscars. This movie was the first adapted screenplay by the Coen Brothers and was called a hillbilly musical comedy adventure by John Turturo. It made Dapper Dan a household name, and turned "Man of Constant Sorrow" into a bluegrass banger for the new millennium. Join us for a scene by scene review of 2000’s O Brother, Where Art Thou?! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:04:00 - Memories of first viewing •0:08:30 - Per...

On today’s episode, we’re diving into a cult classic that redefined what it means to be weird, hilarious, and just downright absurd. A movie showing the world that Weird Al Yankovic should be protected at all costs.

Almost 2 months ago, we released a brunch episode recapping the first 2 episodes of Season 2 of HBO’s The Last of Us. It was a trial of sorts, as we may dip our toes in TV series reviews in the future. Well, the problem with doing that episode was that we all obviously kept watching and badly wanted to recap the entire season with each other. HEAVY SPOILERS if you haven’t see all of Season 2. We return to regularly scheduled programming this Thursday with UHF and next Monday with a Brunch about ...
