Irreverent Testimony

Well, we did this one. It's more of a therapy session although Riva actually finds some redeemning qualities in this waking nightmare of a film. To sync up with the movie, start the commentary track as soon as the 20th Centruy Fox logo disappears. 

So yea, it's been a hot minute, but I'm back, with a new cohost, Riva, and we're talking about Star wars, cause why the hell not? To sync the commentary up with the movie start the track as soon as the 20th Centrury logo disappears. We watched the De-specialized version, which can be streamed here: https://archive.org/details/star.-wars.-1977.-despecialized.-720p.x-264.-ac-3.5.1 If all you have is the Special Edition, it won't sync perfectly, but it'll do. 

It's a smorgasbord of randomness as we just let it fly. On the brink of mass vaccination for COVID Republicans defiantly read Green Eggs and Ham as if anyone is trying to stop them, we discuss the phenomenon of "nice guys" and how when a guy tells you he is one you should run screaming, and there's so much anti-Semitism and racism in gaming culture people might not even know when they're regurgitating it. 

Sigh... Did we just get rolled again? Probably. What do you think McConnell promised this time? A pony? A trip to Disney? No witnesses and now vacation time for the Senate. I could use a vacation. Also, we get into Marjorie Taylor Greene's sex life to tell you not to.. Yea, it was a week y'all. 

Looking forward to people looking at this one if 2 years and wondering what the hell was with the title. So it goes with the come and go news cycles. Anyway, we're almost 2 weeks into the Biden Admin and he sure isn't acting like a centrist. Also a move review and some general kvetching. 

So, that happened. And here we thought the GA Senate races would be the big news. Or you know, the pandemic killing 4000+ a day. But, no. We finally had a near-revolution. In service of a mobbed up reality show star. What a country. 

Why not a Thanksgiving movie commentary? To sync up with the movie, start the commentary track as soon as you see the Paramount Logo sequence start. 

Sarah joins us as we talk annything but horserace numbers.. So that's QAnon, bogus Hunter Biden controversies, SCOTUS, and some this n that. Check out Sarah on Twitter: https://twitter.com/SarahBurris

We're back from the deep freeze to discuss the USPS crisis, the pick of Kamala Harris for VP nom, and various other topics du jour. Spoiler: We're still pissed off. 

Raw Story's Sarah Burris is back with us as we end our hiatus and talk about the new reality of protests, COVID, and various depressing whatnot. Grab some booze for this one. Oh we also get into Lady G, Epstein, sports, and other stuff. A veritable smorgasbord of topics, so there's bound ot be one you care about.  

Artist, writer, professor, and activist Lauri Lynnxe Murphy joins us talk about how the COVID quarantine "closing" the economy is a misnomer, and how it's affecting artists and the self-employed, along with the inequity in the "relief" being doled out by the federal government. We also get into politics, and how progressives shouldn't be too eager to give the Democratic party a blank check.  See Lauri's work and musings: http://lynnxe.com https://www.maiwyn.com/artists-summary/lauri-lynnxe-murphy Medium: https://medium.com/@laurilynnxemurphy Fb: https://m.facebook.com/lynnxe Twitter: Twitter.com/lynnxe @laurilynnxe on Insta (where she is politics free)

This week on a special quarantine edition of the show, Rachel binges on Waco and talks to Eli about the new Netflix show. Spoilers to the max so watch it before you listen to this. Other topics include religion and the pandemic.

As if there wasn't enough to worry about, a deadly pandemic isn't stopping anti-choices crusaders from doing, well.. what they do. In fact, many see it as an opportunity to curtail rights. Today Karen Middleton and Justine Sandoval from Cobalt Colorado (Formerly CO NARAL) join us to discuss these challenges, and the ones that don't stop, pandemic or not.  See the links below: www.cobaltadvocates.org https://www.facebook.com/CobaltAdvocates/  https://www.facebook.com/karen.middleton @karenmiddleton (Twitter) https://www.instagram.com/ksmiddgirl/     @cobaltadvocates Justine's Twitter: @justa_jus  

Sigh. Well, most are, but.. we kvetch about our dumb neighbors who aren't, then we kvetch about Star Trek: Picard. It's a kvetch-fest. Join us, won't you?

Sigh... you know where this is going. 1st half is all COVID all the time, 2nd half we give some TV/movie/book recommendations while we're all (hopefully) quarantined. Seriously. 

Seriously. It;s hard to explain what a dumb place we're in right now. Speaking of which, the most talented, qualified, prepared candidate on the Dem race drops out, much to our chagrin, and we explain why Biden has vaulted to an insurmountable advantage. 

Apparently, no one. So we're here to provide some knowledge and guidance on how to protect yourself, and if necessary, keep the virus from spreading to others (because even if you get it, you'll probably be ok). Meanwhile we've entered the part of the DEM primary where everyone gets stupid. So we have some things to say about that. 

We last did this in 2016, and now we have a whole lot of angst to heap on Greg about Mike Bloomberg and the erasure of Elizabeth Warren. And we.. well, we discuss it. A lively back and forth, as we express the misgivings of people in our age cohort. Buckle up. 

You know the one.. Yea him. No we're not "never" Bloomberg, but, we're damn close. Don't make us do it. Meanwhile there's a bunch of other stuff that's pissing Rachel off, so listen to us kvetch some more. You love it. 

We're back, and we get to the Kabuki theater that is impeachment in the US Senate. Then we get into the Dem primary and some Colorado politics. And we get salty. Big surprise, huh?
