One of the key parts of beer is the delicious grain that gives it its body, sweetness, colour and potentially many of its other attributes, the malted barley. If you’re a fan of a big malt character in your beers, then Old Ale might be a great style to try, since it’s packed full of […]
S3E07 – Time Lense
Cal invents the Time Lense, and by “invents” I mean “says”. A highly anticipated glimpse in the 24½th century forms the bulk of this week’s episode, forcing us to rethink some of the fundamentals of the continuum.
4.19 – TWILIGHT (2008) and Female Autonomy
This week we take on the cultural and cinematic behemoth that is 2008’s TWILIGHT. After some…contrasting reviews, we have a surprisingly enjoyable (and extended: strap in, listeners!) time talking about genre mash-ups, missed moments of poignancy, the traumas of High School, and how this isn’t really a film about vampires at all.
S3E06 – Emma Webster and Coco Nutt
In this episode full of absolute nobodies, we discover a new creature as well as finally marrying (almost literally) two disparate parts of the Tooniverse.
33 – Coffee Stout with Siren Craft Brew
Many people relish getting nerdy about homebrewing (maybe you’re one?), but there is also another type of brewing that gets equally deep, and that’s coffee. Coffee has been well studied and well enjoyed by many nerds and can add fantastic flavours to your beers, from dark lingering roasty bitterness to big rich fruity notes.
S3E05 – M3L155A Duck
Daffy just wants a quiet life, but the agency isn’t going to let him have one. Why? Well maybe because a huge swathe of the US north of the Mason Dixie line has been dessimated! WAKE UP, PEOPLE!
4.18 — BLADE (1998) and The Oppressed
This week we take on the classic vampire/superhero/martial arts (what even is it?) film, BLADE (1998). After some glowing reviews, we talk about subcultures in the 90s, before getting onto liminality, race, class, and the various oppressed groups explored in a vampire movie like this.
32 – Green Hop Pale Ale
When it comes to hops usually fresh is best. So what could be better than fresh undried hops straight from the bine! Some say it gives grassy and “green” notes, so if you’re looking for the freshest hop flavour you can get, why not celebrate harvest season with a beer?
S3E03 – A Tennis Ball Sized Lump of Foam
When the mail goes awry, Bugs finds himself back in the military, and we start to worry that Tweety has a foothold that we really, really wish he didn’t.
