Ben & Curt celebrate the end of the Texorcism series and talk about some of the other media they've enjoyed during the past month.

They discuss Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation, The Exorcist: The Beginning, and Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist. Are these movies as bad as they seem? Or have we stumbled on to a strange cinematic experience that should be shared by every cinephile? Happy Halloween! Produced by Curtcake the Mighty at Black Gold Studios, 2017.

It's a little early to be discussing horror films, but sometimes you make sacrifices to be topical. Ben & Curt start Halloween early this year by comparing the super-mega-successful-blockbuster IT to the 1990 TV mini-series Stephen King's It. Special thanks to Ben's sister Casey for joining in and adding to our discussion!

How is it already July?! We're half-way through the year, so Ben & Curt decide to go over some of their favorite media releases of 2017 so far. Will these favorites make it to the final list at the end of the year, or are we just beginning to see what 2017 has to offer in terms of video games, music, and film?

This week, Ben & Curt discuss the three major pieces of work by Long Beach rapper, Vince Staples, including his brand new album Big Fish Theory. Produced by Curtcake the Mighty at Black Gold Studios, 2017. Instagram & Twitter: @curtcake5k Please rate and subscribe on iTunes as well!

Hey everyone! Ben and Curt reporting in! We're finally back at it, and this time we don't have to talk about Quentin Tarantino films! This week we talk about the similarity and differences between the popular simulation video game franchises Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon. We also go off on a tangent about the new Gucci Mane and Lil Yachty albums. Produced by Curtcake the Mighty at Black Gold Studios, 2017.

Finally, the grand finale of Ben & Curt's journey through the entire filmography of Quentin Tarantino. What a ride it has been. For this episode, Ben & Curt sit down with professional stand-up comedian, Leah Douglass, to discuss their personal ranking, favorite moments, and cultural impact of Tarantino's films on American culture. We hope this is the last episode in which we will have to apologize for the excessive length and raw editing quality. This conclusion is around 3 hours long, and Ben & Curt experimented with a new microphone to help capture voices in the studio. Once again, we'd like to give a shout out and a huge thank you to Leah for appearing on the show. We highly encourage you to check out one of her stand up sets! She'll be performing at Rising Tide in Portland Maine on 6/9/17 and Blue on 6/12/17! Produced by Curtcake the Mighty at Black Gold Studios, 2017.

Ben & Curt are back to talk about the next three films in Quentin Tarantino's filmography, his historical fiction films; Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, and the Hateful Eight. How will these films hold up to the ones discussed in previous episodes? We'd also like to give a shout out to Caveman from Into the Cave podcast for joining us in this episode!

Ben and Curt would like to sincerely apologize for both the length and raw quality of this episode. While they have promised on multiple occasions to keep their episodes around an hour long, this hefty beast weighs in at 2.5 hours long. Apparently, it's challenging to talk about three movies in one episode without going way over an hour. Because of the length of the episode, the editing process was abbreviated for the sake of getting it up on time. Please excuse any raw sounding sound quality. With that being said, this week Ben and Curt return to the movie universe of Quentin Tarantino to discuss Kill Bill and Deathproof. Produced by Curtcake the Mighty at Black Gold Studios, 2017.

Ben and Curt return to discuss the films of Quentin Tarantino! In the first part of this three (or maybe four) part series, Ben and Curt begin with Tarantino's first three films, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Jackie Brown; all of which take place in the intricate movie-universe crafted by Tarantino. They even discuss a little Resident Evil 4, the new Kendrick Lamar album, and even find time to pepper in some Boondock Saints insults! What a show! Sorry about the extra length of these next few episodes! Produced by Curtcake the Mighty at Black Gold Studios, 2017. Instagram & Twitter: @curtcake5k Please rate and subscribe on iTunes as well!
