For this episode, Richard and Kevin look at Night of the Juggler. A movie Kevin knows nothing about, but Richard assures it is best to go in cold. We also talk about some Tarantino films, colds, Star Trek Voyager, and more!

For this episode, Richard and Kevin tackle The Silent Age! A point-and-click adventure game about Joe, a quiet janitor who gets pulled into a mission to stop humanity’s extinction. Using a time-traveling device, you jump between a bleak future and the present to solve environmental puzzles. The game stands out for its minimalist art style, eerie atmosphere, and slow-burn, melancholic story.

Sorcerer (1977), directed by William Friedkin, is a tense, gritty thriller about four desperate men hired to transport unstable explosives through a dangerous jungle. The film is slow-burning but relentlessly stressful, building dread through atmosphere rather than dialogue. Its practical stunts and harsh realism make it feel raw and exhausting in the best way. Often overlooked, Sorcerer is now considered a cult classic.And, one of us wishes for Jesse Ventura to run for president.

Sorry for the delay in releasing this audio. Computer issues!Anyway, Sheltered is a post-apocalyptic survival management game where you guide a family taking refuge in an underground bunker after a global catastrophe. You manage resources like food, water, and shelter integrity while scavenging the wasteland, crafting equipment, and fending off threats. The game focuses heavily on tough moral choices, long-term survival, and the emotional weight of protecting your family in a harsh world.

Time for a very subjective list of our "Top Five" episodes of Rod Serling's classic Science Fiction series, The Twilight Zone (1959–64). We will highlight five standout episodes, one by one, and give what makes them great!

We're back to talk about Joe Piscopo!

Looks like this is another episode that got stuck in a "draft vortex" and wasn't published. It was recorded 5 months ago and probably aged like fine milk, but... why let that stop me?
