If there's anything we've all become experts at in this last year, it's navigating weird realities! This week's show focuses on the strangeness of fiction and how it's not that far removed from the everyday.
First, the guys delve into the classic David Lynch film "Lost Highway". From there they delve into the political shit show of this past week and contemplate why conspiracy theories are so prevalent in high office. Finally, the guys tackle the creepy imagery of the MCU's "WandaVision" in a glorious return to the geeky goodness that sustains us.
All this plus our song of the week: "Cielo Rojo" by Lila Downs.

So society seems to be... in rough shape. But that's what you got us for. RvT is coming at ya with a brand spanking new episode where we get a lil serious and talk about the new film "One Night In Miami..." directed by the Queen herself, Regina King. Pav and E explore the rogues gallery of topics ranging from the white savior trope in movies, colorism, what freedom means and the power of being a person of influence while also being a person of color. This is an introspective one. Tune in and let's go exploring. All this plus the Song of the Week:
A Change is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke

Ok...are we all sure we did the countdown correctly on New Year's Eve? It feels like we messed up somewhere.
This week the guys are joined by friend of the show Jamie V!
Together they discuss the mentality behind cult followers and cult leaders. Listen in as they navigate the complex psychology of this dynamic (full disclosure: none of them are professional psychologists...shocking we know!)
The gents talk about the relationship of cults to the rest of society - all leading up to the events of this past week at the US Capitol Building. We're not saying we have any answers, but at least we have a little fun along the way.
All this plus our song of the week: "A Friend" by Ludwig Göransson

RvT is BACK FOR 2021 BABY!!!
This time we have NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT WONDER WOMAN 1984!!! Seriously. We sing its praises. It is an achievement on all the story-levels and the CGI wasn't at all weird and there were like zero stereotypical things that made us stop in our tracks and go "Huh" with that tongue-in-cheek expression all over our faces. Plus we are joined by friend of the show: The lovely and insightful JOJO. So strap on your leg warmers and feather that hair because RvT is too hip to be... uh... ugh... The 80s!
Don't forget our patented Song of the Week:
Gazzilion Ear by MF DOOM (feat. J Dilla)

WE MADE IT!! Only a few days left to 2020!!!
To say it's been a crazy year would be an understatement.
To finish out the year, the guys pit two holiday movies with dark twists against each other. "Silent Night, Deadly Night" vs "Black Christmas". Listen in as Pav and E make their way through these two...unique...takes on Christmas films. They also take on the genre at large. So pull up with your favorite drink, kick back, and let's all kiss 2020 goodbye!

OH GEEZ
We got Jamie Verderame on this one guys and he joins our foray into a four alarm garbage fire when we tackle the Nic Cage paycheck request that is JIU JITSU vs the Cannon Films pos NINJA III: THE DOMINION. I don't know what else to tell you. These movies take us to the edge of bejeesus and back. We're lucky we haven't gone on a random punching spree after these two crimes against humanity. Some good dick jokes in here. Tune in for those! Plus our Song of the Week! "Long Tall Sally" by Little Richard!

Geekin' in your ear in a brand spanking new episode of RvT!
This week the guys ask the important questions like: Are there too many Star Wars shows on the horizon? Is "Little Italy" a movie that everyone should see (yes they should)? Is Harrison Ford really just 3 cinder blocks stacked together?
The gents also delve into the particulars of the latest Mandalorian episode as the series leads up to the season finale.
Come along and relax for an hour...you really don't have anything else to do.
Plus our song of the week "Passin' Me By" by The Pharcyde.

PAV n' E are back with a brand spankin' new Episode!
This time, they put the movie talk on hold and talk about THE DEATH OF THE MOVIE THEATER INDUSTRY. You know, light fare. Pav grumbles aloud about the possibility of life after the pandemic and how he'll still be a grumpy gus while E waxes poetic about communal experiences before the two dive headfirst into THE MANDALORIAN, Cancel Culture, and celebrity tweets. It is a feast for the ears as the journey of these two perennial nerds continue their journey into the unknown realms of pop culture. TUNE IN and FEEL THE LOVE.

It's important to have principles in any job...even murder for hire!
This week we pit George Clooney in "The American" against Colin Farrell's "In Bruges". Both films are complex observations on holding the line between business and humanity (and they often blur). Listen to us compare and contrast the two while also goofing off as we do...and potentially ending up on a government watch list. Join us!!!
