Get ready for a brain buster. Or at least prepare to witness my brain being busted. Celtic mythology is... tricky to understand. And no one understands perfectly because the source material is scarce.  A LOT has been written about Celtic mythology but so much of it is conjecture presented as fact. The ancient Celts themselves didn't write anything down. Their enemies did. As did the Catholic monks who came to island to conquer a people the Roman army could not. Today we familiarize ourselves with Ireland - land most associated with the Celts and find out why Ireland is most strongly associated with Celtic culture when Celtic tribes lived as far away as Asia Minor. Who were these people? What did they believe? Why don't we know more about them? And what the Hell is a Selkie, Spriggan, or a  Dullahan?  So much mystery and madness explored today.

Movie Meltdown - Episode 118

Our third annual Easter Egggstravaganza kicks off with dyeing eggs and geek activities. Then we head into this week's Sofa Theater feature: Harvey.

And somewhere in the haze of vinegar we mention…Hanna, a Sean Patrick Flanery marathon, Burlesque, That’s So Raven, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, Kaw, Mermaids, Cate Blanchett, trying to suffocate and squash bunny rabbits, Savage Planet, egg and onion sandwiches, wearing a pillowcase over your head, The Damned Thing, you think someone in Hollywood has morals?, Space Bears, do not pick the flowers, Rose McGowan’s nipples, Girl, Showgirls and Coyote Ugly put together, Personal Space Invader, Demon Hunter, what if Hit-Girl was raised in the wilderness?, Ten Inch Hero, hat-wearing whore, boobies flapping about, using the C-word in context with a Jimmy Stewart movie, go back in time and take off your shirt, The Hop Hop Song, and the tale of the VCR and the suicidal bunny rabbit.

Plus we wrap up with feedback and follow up questions and theories about Sucker Punch.

Spoiler Alert: Our Easter eggs, may in fact be spoiled. Oh yeah, and that goes for Harvey as well.

“My eggs are crusty!"
