The Magical Talking Hat

We’re back! In that Tony is back from Oregon, back in Iowa. But we’re still doing it remotely, so that hardly matters.

Which also means we totally did it on YouTube, too!

We discuss how Tony drifted through his time in Oregon, fascinating conversation about the past of Iowa City landmarks, and we discover the currency that will dominate, after the apocalypse. Oh, and Craig’s totally scamming the UK elections. Enjoy!

This episode is short. Maybe 45 minutes. But it was intended to be about 10 minutes, so be grateful!

It’s up on YouTube again, here, if that’s your kind of thing.

Tony’s Dad died on Tuesday, so… this whole episode is just about that. Enjoy!

We’re still recording from our disparate locations! Which means we’re still on YouTube. Check the link here, if you want to watch while you listen, or whatever.

This is a heavy-ish episode. Tony’s in a bad way right now, and it seems silly to ignore that. But we still have time for some film critique and plans for episode 500. Enjoy!

QUESTIONS:

Are you making big plans for the 500th episode and/or 10th anniversary? –Beth

The best and worst thing about the global pandemic — you can see us now!

Despite the desperate need for isolation, we refuse to stop entertaining you, our loving public. So we’ve recorded remotely, via Zoom. And Zoom has video!

Now, we’re an audio podcast, and plan to stay that way. But… if you’d like to watch the video for this episode… we put it on YouTube!

Here it is! Once it finishes processing! I don’t really understand how YouTube works.

So take your pick… sound or sound AND vision. Either way… Enjoy!

We are NOT talking about everybody’s favorite pandemic, this week! We discuss Tony’s… unusual brush with the public, William’s anger problem, the craziest new gang of criminals on the fictitious block, and Azuretalon’s inability to understand how villains work. Enjoy!

QUESTIONS:

Sirs, In episode 461 Tony declares “I am Genocide!” and kazoos a little diddy. Was that a supervillain debut, a death metal song… er… what the fuck? –I am Azuretalon (Hum a little death metal diddy)

Yes, we’re still podcasting. We’ve come out of isolation for one hour, to please you, the listener. We talk about the obvious for a bit, but then distract ourselves with a variety of movies, TV shows, and video games. Hopefully it distracts you as well. Enjoy!

QUESTIONS:

What coming attractions are you looking forward to? –Jas

This is a nice long, winding podcast, touching on a lot of subjects. Bad cartoons, video games, weird movies, other kinds of weird movies, whatever William talks about. And face care. Enjoy!

QUESTIONS:

In episode ~461, Tony mentions that the Producer scrubs clean rather than use bodywash/soap. What is her morning/evening face care strategy? –Beth

William is sick, and not just in the normal way. Tony’s way too impressed with his own tech skills. And both of us realize we don’t listen to other people, or something. Plus some Superman, of course. And an alpaca. Enjoy!
