    Episode 041 - Hard Kill

    Episode 041 - Hard Kill

    In what is already being called the greatest episode of their 41 episode career, Dadgum and Reekus tackle action phenomenon HARD KILL!  When the world is threatened by a device that controls everything, only one man haunted by the scars of his past can match wits with the world's fastest Rubik's cube solver.  A movie that delivers kill after kill in waves of 3, features 23 minutes of Bruce Willis standing and sitting, and pulls dialog from a drunken haze takes a beating from the crew.  

    Bonus features include a quick touch in on fan favorite tv series Survivor, Christmas classic Home Alone, and Star Trek the Original Series.  Make sure you take a moment and prepare yourself, this one's fueled by anger and mockery!

    Episode 038 - Tenet

    At the beginning there was the end and at the end there was the beginning, somewhere in between was the middle and at the middle we found the in between.  Heads hurt as hurt comes to a head, forward, backwards, sideways, up, down, left, right, the mystery of Tenet is among us all.  Dadgum and Reekus give their initial impression of the wacky world of Christopher Nolan and what it means for time to have no meaning...

    Episode 037 - Rebecca

    Sit on down and rest a spell with your friendly, neighborhood podcasters  - Dadgum and Reekus!  Reflect on Schitt's Creek, as the crew confronts Tatum on her less than perfect rating on the acclaimed series.  Dadgum chats about Upload, Reekus is caught in the 1960s black and white sensation, Ultra Q, and Maria goes into conspiracy theories surrounding the Vow.   

    Then it's down to business as the gang discusses Rebecca, Netflix's recent flop based on the 1938 novel by Daphne du Maurier.  Baby hi-jinks ensue as the team works around a hungry Toe Bones, while TJ gets some good mic thumps in.   

    What are we even talking about, we don't even know.  It's just another typical hour with Dadgum and Reekus.

    Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!!  Dadgum and Reekus tackle another musical...no, you didn't read that wrong, we decided to break the rules all over again and get out of the theater and to the stage.  It's a wicked good time (Boston accent) as the crew takes a scattered look at the Broadway smash hit, Wicked.  Listen to Gordon, once again, try and explain why musicals don't translate to the big screen!  Hear about Luke's infatuation with the sign language crew at the production!  And the girls...well, the girls got their work cut out for them in a whirlwind of fact checks!  Now go eat your turkey!
