  • Episode 8: Prime Numbers! OMG!

We know that it’s been awhile and you’ve been frothing at the mouth for some new material – so we thought we’d oblige with yet another lost cult classic from the ’90s.

  • The Scene I Can’t Watch

    Hey y’all!  We’re almost ready to unveil podcast #6 for your listening pleasure!  I think it’s a great episode.  Don’t hold your breath until we release it, though.  You’ll DIE.  UNLESS!  Unless you trust us to resuscitate you.  I was CPR certified in, like, 2001.  God that class was boring.  Speaking of deep-sea resuscitation, take…

  • Eu Não Quero Voltar Sozinho

    The sun is finally happening here in Seattle and I find myself falling easily into dopey, feel-good daydreaming.

    We’re back!  On this episode of Emerson vs. Cook, we take you on a mystical pilgrimage to the heart of Egypt with our discussion of the film “Passion in the Desert.”  What unites man and beast, and what will tear them apart?  Colonialism?  Patriarchy?  Infidelity?  ALL THREE!?!?!?  

  • Unexpected Inspirado: Terry Doolittle

    You guys might remember me mentioning this character from Jumpin’ Jack Flash in our third podcast. I think it’s safe to say that the last time anyone saw this movie was  1994 on TNT on a Wednesday afternoon. I would say that Whoopi made this role, because I cannot see any other actress of that…
