WE HAVE RETURNED!     Celebrate our comeback with us as we discuss this "epic" fantasy novel, AGE OF MYTH. I think you can guess who picked it, and probably how I feel about it. Malcolm slays technical difficulties, Matt conquers a labyrinthine plot, and I fail at keeping my cool in the face of great tribulation.   Stay tuned, we have lots more great episodes in the bank, to be released soon out into the world, and more specifically into your ears!

NEWS ON THE MARCH! After our brief Holiday hiatus, we venture into the past with the earliest movie we've ever seen, and arguably the most famous, Citizen Kane! We discuss this classic film about the great man who, in Matt's words, "is just kind of a dick to a lot of people." But WHY is he a dick? To find out what we think, give this episode a listen!  Also, have no life regrets, remember to rate and review us on iTunes!

Prepare to listen to us discuss a massive crowd pleaser as we all enjoy The Princess Switch! It may be past Christmas but don't let that good old holiday spirit pass you by... Who knew Vanessa Hudgens and... Vanessa Hudgens could be so charming?! We didn't, but we do now!

  After a long hiatus (sorry about that) we return in full force with two new episodes. This one is a real controversy among the siblings so enjoy!

 It may be a little late for Halloween, but really, we all know, it's never too late for a good horror movie. In this episode we discuss the 2015 acclaimed film the VVitch. I remember it really well, and the boys have some strong opinions on their first viewing. Let us know what you think on iTunes! rate us at liveculturescast on iTunes!  

Malcolm really does the heavy lifting and helps Caitlin in her struggle to summarize the hits-really-close-to-home-for-her Netflix show, Maniac. Matt has a paranoid schizophrenic conspiracy theory about the whole world of the show and Caitlin loves Justin Theroux and this world so much she can barely form a thought about it. But in the end everyone says, watch this show,  it's great! I'm a hawk! Remember to rate and review us on iTunes.

We discuss the critically beloved new NBC sit com The Good Place. Look, the fact is, we all love this show and have fun talking about it. Also, Matt loves Acid Cat, I love everyone and Malcolm needs to watch the second season. Don't forget to rate and review us on iTunes!

Welcome to Krull, that's right, now you're on the planet,  Krull! No you can't escape, not without listening to our brand new episode! In which we discuss the 1983 film, you guessed it, Krull. Just how much is this film trying to capitalize off of Star Wars? Do good fighters really make bad husbands? Also, how many long shots of horses galloping around a mountain can one movie hold? And finally, how badly do YOU wanna puppy? Don't forget to rate us on iTunes! It'll be fun! Maybe you'll even get a puppy.

In this episode we discuss one of Caitlin's favorite movies of the year Crazy Rich Asians! And as a bonus, the boys don't hate it! 

How great is Jackie Chan? How about Pierce Brosnan? Is the IRA a weird movie enemy to choose these days, or are they still relevant? Also how much are we buying this whole wife screwing her nephew while we're setting tiger traps in the woods bit? Find out all this and more in our discussion of the 2017 critically acclaimed action film The Foreigner! Please don't forget to rate and review us on iTunes.

We're coming back from a fun summer break to discuss Asimov's number 2 and 3 entries into his Foundation series, Foundation and Empire and Second Foundation. Hari Seldon: Genius trailblazer or nerdy loser? The Mule: Military messiah or crazed failure? Second Foundation: Weirdo stalkers or Psychic badasses? Find out by listening to our triumphant return to the podcast universe. Also rate and review us on iTunes because we're cool.

In which we discuss the Netflix sensation, the reboot (I guess you call it that?) of Queer Eye. We all enjoy the guys and the make overs, and to lesser extents the redemption and tears. I don't think you'll need your tissues for our episode, though maybe gather them for the actual show when you watch it. In the mean time rate and review us on iTunes if you'd like! We like you!

  We're back after a brief hiatus with our first ever Live Cultures sequel episode. Matt picks Mark Lawrence's second novel in his Book of the Ancestor series, Grey Sister. We're happy to catch up with the same happy go lucky Ninja Nuns we met in the first book (at least the ones that weren't brutally murdered)! In which: We discuss giant celestial moon mirrors, demons, puzzle boxes, and why you should care about shadows. Note: The audio at the very beginning and then also Matt's audio sucks on this episode and you may need to turn up your volume, I apologize for his sound quality. I still think the content is worth listening to till the end, especially for our recommendation and discussion of "The Terror". Please Rate and Review us on Itunes under Live Cultures Podcast!

We discuss Malcolm's pick, the first four episodes of the Netflix reboot of Lost in Space.  Mal and Matt  didn't get to the good parts, and think this series is just OK.  BUT my robot face goes from swirling red anger to happy purple clouds as I make my way through the entire show. That's right, I love this. I think it's great. Don't fight me, just watch it and then listen to our discussion... Rate and review us on itunes to be cool.  

Can't get enough of 90's Tom Cruise? Well neither can we. Come and get your fix with our latest episode, in which I have a ridiculously difficult time summarizing my favorite movie ever, 1992's A Few Good Men. Even if I can't, I think you can handle the truth, and so it won't be a problem to give us a listen and rate and review us on iTunes!

Tom Cruise has sex on a beach, Gene Hackman has a drinking problem and a really cool tub, and the girl from Water World has an adorable dog! What's her name? No one knows anymore! Also, Holly Hunter is in this movie! Also, so are a lot of Xerox machines and a man waving a stamped envelope around! They play a bigger role than you might expect. AND Gary Busey is also in there... for a second...Ok, ok, so this is kind of a weird movie... Join us in discussing it and stay tuned for our next Tom Cruise legal thriller episode... coming soon!

Malcolm thought he was sentencing us all to certain doom when he picked last years OSCAR NOMINATED animated feature "The Boss Baby". Little did he know that one night, mid-way through viewing, he would receive this shameful text from me.  "I. love. Boss Baby." Did everyone succumb to this immortal entity's thrall, or did some resist? Listen to find out!

Some of the siblings eagerly engage with the visceral fun of this race to the finish line reality show, while we all struggle, some more than others, to accept the challenges inherent in embracing this very  American perspective on a jaunt around the world. Some of the teams are vile, some are oblivious, and some are a lot of fun. Tune in to hear what we think! Also rate and review us on iTunes. And follow us on our brand new Twitter @liveculturespod
