It’s a good ol’ fashioned American love fest on this week’s show.  And speaking of fests, we missed the Summerfest preview again this year.  Ah well, we’ll let you know who we like who’s still left to play the Marcus this week. If you haven’t heard that new Brandon Flowers album yet, allow us to […]

I’m still not sure about this whole Jurassic World deal, and have not yet seen the film, but Bryan and I talk a little about very distant sequels.  I DID just finish the audiobook of the original Jurassic Park novel–a book that I loved as a kid.  I had some issues with in on the 20-years-later re-read. We listened […]

We even taped early this week, so that our childless, dad-aged selves can get to be at a reasonable time.  

It’s a warm one, just as the TV season has finally cooled off.  Bryan and I welcome back my beautiful young fiancee to help us sift through the dregs of the 14-15 broadcast TV schedule that was, and look ahead to some of the things to come. Get yourself some iced tea and join us.

[youtube https://youtu.be/kygfNmtmiPI] Bryan and I welcome back friend of the show Josh Schneider to talk over the last Late Show with David Letterman.  Dave has been an essential player for all of us in some shape or form, and we didn’t have any trouble filling this hour with our thoughts on his last week of shows, […]

Bryan and I welcome back Adam–friend of the show and fellow summer movie buff –for a preview of the flicks you’ll want to scope out during the warmer months.  One is already in the books, and if you haven’t made it to Age of Ultron yet, make sure you take a look.  Then, strap yourselves in for […]

You’re in for another week of nerd-filled action as Bryan and I catch up on Daredevil and also discuss last fall’s documentary Atari: Game Over, which recently hit you in the bits on Netflix.  We also dip into new music, with an EP from Mike Viola. If that feels right to you, then enjoy.

With BryGuy deep in the throes of matrimonial planning, I welcome in friend of the show and first-time guest Matt Harren on this week’s podcast.  Hope you enjoy the comic books and their corresponding movies, because we’re gonna hit ’em hard. Go forth, and enjoy.

We’ve got something a little different and special for you this weekend — not a podcast, but an audio track to accompany some TV watching. If you listen to this show and/or are a nerd, you’re well-aware of the Marvel series Daredevil recently premiering on Netflix back on April 10.  The attached audio file lets you watch […]

Hey, we always do our best around here. You’ve got reviews of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and the audiobook version of Ready Player One in store on the program this week.  Also, with his time on TV winding down, I do something I haven’t done in years: regularly watch Letterman. Keep an eye out before the end of the week […]

It was the finale of The Walking Dead, season 5 this week.  Bryan and I welcome my sis Jen back to rap about it for roughly an hour.  It’s quite worth your time, and hey — this year, you don’t have to wait until October to get your zombie fix again.  So that’s nice.

Some music and TV goodies for you this week, largely sans Walking Dead for a change– The new Modest Mouse album, Strangers to Ourselves, dropped on March 17, and I’m really enjoying it so far.  But, is that more a function of the long wait since their last one? The big nerd news of the week: Fox reviving X-Files for a […]

I know this much for sure: DO NOT EAT CAROL’S COOKIES.  I mean this Carol.  Seriously, if you happen to be in the greater Chicago area and want to get cookies from this Carol, I’m sure they’re delicious. Apocalypse has a decidedly more jovial tone in The Last Man on Earth, which we’ve also been watching and […]

Bryan and I are on a spring hiatus, but here’s one of our all-time favorite episodes, from December 2013. The deal was, let’s make a list of 25 Albums We Can’t Live Without.  We’ll invite Josh to join us, and have a fun chat about that. The fun chat last for three episodes, and this […]

We swear that your children will live, even if they happen to listen to this podcast. We’ve got the recap from Oscar night, including the outcome of our annual un-scientific poll.  Did you like NPH in the driver’s seat?  Birdman winning the big awards?  Congrats to Friend of the Show Shane Raatz, who wins it for […]

Second-to-last week of Parks & Rec was the best of this final season so far, and I make a BOLD statement about the “Johnny Karate” ep. The Walking Dead gave us a bleak view of the group’s dire straits, with a glimmer of hope at the end.  That said: should we go back and re-read some of the […]

I hope you guys appreciate the fact that Bryan and I have been here for almost five years now, nearly every most weeks, putting in up to… 3 hours in each one of those weeks to bring you the best program we can.  Well, you’re welcome.  And you’re not getting rid of us. The Walking […]

Topic-wise, we’re running the gamut for you this week.  We’ve got reviews of both the latest from Mark Ronson, and the *just*-released album from Butch Walker. On the big screen, we’re making our way through the Best Pic nominees, but no worries: we do our best not to spoil them here for you. Lots that […]

BryGuy and I have plenty to keep you busy during your alone time… We review some new music, too: from The Decemberists, and D’Angelo. Questions or comments?  You can always record it for posterity by dialing us up at 608-301-JBKO.

It’s our review and commentary on the 87th Academy Award nominations!  We’ve got our work cut out, but there are plenty of strong candidates in a (relatively) narrow field.  Will either of us be able to run the gauntlet and get to All Eight?  Stay tuned… On the small screen, we’ve got things to say […]
