Episode 139... Truth, Justice and the American Way!

Sean, Greg and Dane face a barrage of technical problems to discuss Truth, Justice and the American Way. If Captain America has to call himself the First Avenger when he travels abroad and Superman is renouncing his US citizenship, then what does that say about how we see America? Plus there's some talk of the new X-Men movie, a really long and inappropriate Red Cross story. 

This episode contains some adult topics (although they're mostly expressed in a juvenile fashion). But don't blame us, blame the Red Cross. Those people are a bunch of degenerates.

Sean, Greg and Gary return to talk about the magic of the 80’s and the genius of Charlie Sheen.

Episode 127... Romantic Comedies!

Despite some technical difficulties talking across the world, Sean and Greg connect with Lynn to celebrate Valentine's Day with a tribute to Romantic Comedies. It starts with When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle and leads to Patrick Dempsey's Made of Honor and Gerard Butler's predilection towards bad boy roles in the Bounty Hunter and the Ugly Truth. But somehow it goes from Love Actually to horror exploitation like The Human Centipede (which has nothing to do with Romantic Comedy). Plus a little more talk about TRON: Legacy.
