Before we begin, I must mention that the name The Heat is a travesty. There is only film by the name Heat and it is the greatest piece of cinema that ever was and ever will be. No other movie should be permitted to include the word “heat” in its […]
Paula Deen has been in quite a bit of trouble for using a word that, if we’re being honest with ourselves, every one of us has spoken at least once in our life (at least once per episode if you’re me). The country has gone completely insane with what it […]
Let’s be honest: None of us are that moved by the death of James Gandolfini. The death of Tony Soprano, however? Devastating. I discuss what The Sopranos meant to me with Allison, go over some of my favorite moments, and otherwise mope for the passing of a character who didn’t […]

Co-hostess Allison tells the story of shooting down a dying man. A sweet, loving, good–but dying–man. Is she an even worse person than this episode established me to be? That’s for you to decide. But yes. The answer is yes. Listen to her try to desperately rationalize her wickedness. Listen […]
