Join us as Bret takes us through a wonderful Gerard Manley Hopkins poem. We talk rhyme schemes, Catholic theology, and of course, poetry.

David takes the gang through Bon Cop Bad Cop 2, a Canadian action film full of excitement, jokes about americans, and references to Canadian places.

Today we cover the legendary 90s film by the Wachowskis, the Matrix. We talk literary allusions, cool 90s sunglasses, and Seth does a remarkably good Keanu impression.

In this special Bret-isode your three plucky hosts can't find the time to record together, so the stalwart hero Bret van den Brink goes it alone with a reading of his wonderful poem The Patient Bride, originally published in Mars' Hill Newspaper. He discusses his inspiration behind the poem and gives a fantastic reading of the poem itself.

In first episode about music, Seth takes us through Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago, a masterful album made in the Wisconsin wilderness by musician Justin Vernon. We talk his inspiration, floaty vocals, and how Skinny Love is that one song everyone remembers from the 2010s.

A classic of the 2010s, Captain America: the Winter Soldier is a wonderful time capsule into the superhero movies of yesteryear. Join us as we discuss the plot's comic book origins, how the film reflects a post-Snowden America, and the fact that Bret saw it for the first time yesterday

Unsanck your snoods listeners, because Bret takes us on a deep dive of Wallace Stevens and his wonderful poem, Late Hymn From The Myrrh-Mountain. We talk literary allusions, not understanding poetry, and whether or not Seth can find his water bottle.

Seth takes us through Fellini's 8 1/2, a thought provoking film from bygone eras of Italian cinema. We talk dubbed soundtracks, quotes from Origen, and the funky clown guy at the end of the movie.
