Continuing our new trend of getting personal about film, we take it to a whole new level in this off the rails vod-cast tackling that most personal of experiences: heartbreak. Using the sharp examples of 3 classic male-centric rom-coms, Better Off Dead, High Fidelity & Forgetting Sarah Marshall, we examine our own recent histories with romance and break-ups, and get to the heart of why these particular films are the best example of it in regards to our own experiences. Plus, drunken ribbing, insults and threats against personal safety. As promised, a whole new (hilarious) level.

Alex and MJ talk about how Weevil might be the smartest person in Neptune, Lamb’s failure as a sheriff, and how Veronica’s Slytherin nature will bite her back soon enough. Our show art is by Christina Spinks and our theme music is a piece of Crushing Crayons’ performance at KBOO Community Radio.

Disney's Oscar-winning 2013 cultural sensation "Frozen," that created ear-worm songs for annoyed parents everywhere, is already considered a classic piece of Disney animation, rivaling the likes of "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Lion King," and has critics and moviegoers spewing nonsense about how its message is progressive and fresh when it's actually regressive and spoiled.

The flimsy, sloppy, incoherent plot is as follow: When their kingdom becomes trapped in perpetual winter, Princess Anna (voiced by Kristen Bell) joins forces with ice salesman Kristoff (voiced by Jonathan Groff) and his reindeer sidekick to find Anna's sister, Snow Queen Elsa (voiced by Adele Dazeem, er, Idina Menzel), to try and break her icy spell that she accidentally cast on everyone. Although their journey leads them to encounters with kidnapping trolls, an undead snowman (creepily voiced Josh Gad), harsh conditions, and magic at every turn, Anna and Kristoff push onward in a race to save their kingdom from winter's cold grip.

Um, yeah. We also get a fair share of Nordic stereotypes, skitzo characters, catchy songs that make no sense contextually to the plot, and unearned villainous turns.

Join us as Keating talks about how Olaf haunts his dreams, we realize Jim’s amazing ability to point out when characters look like Ron Jeremy, and as we discuss Brad Pitt’s former plans to create the 9/11 Memorial.
