Strange Land #4: Heads on Spikes

Strangers in a Strange Land Episode #4 is now live and available on iTunes and other podcast hosting sites, or simply click on the above link to download now! Would it be too cocky if we celebrated our Fifth Episode Anniversary next week? That's right, for those of you who kept telling us that you've heard enough of our incessant caterwauling, you were apparently wrong! HA! Eat it, pink boy!

In this episode, you'll hear conversations about the increasingly massive Libor banking scandal (and how we have yet to see one banker's head on a stick), the insanity that is the new political field, the shameless lack of intelligent and rational media coverage involving insane pseudo-politicians, the struggle to find decent auto insurance, how Nancy Grace made a woman set herself on fire, and why joking about shooting the first lady is never a good idea when you are law enforcement officer on White House protection duty. We struggled to keep this one short, but it just seems like there is no end to the madness, and once we get started, it is hard for us to stop. And on that note, for your viewing pleasure, a picture of Nancy Grace's nipple.

And so it begins...

Introductions are probably in order. I'm Scott. This is Joey.

We've been hosting a movie review podcast for over two years now called Moviesucktastic. Noticing one night that we spend an inordinate amount of time discussing bad movies, we decided to start recording these conversation, adding a pinch of production value here and there, and releasing these film-based rants as a podcast series. It's been a lot of fun, and with our 100th episode rounding the corner by the end of this year, we don't plan on stopping anytime soon.


But lately, in between bad movies and late-night recording sessions, a new thought has occurred to us.


We don't just talk about movies.


And so a new podcast is born. With an eye on keeping episode times down to a 30 to 60 minute limit, we've decided to forge ahead with a new podcast dedicated to our strictly (well, mostly) non-movie related opinions, with a different though-provoking, teeth-grinding theme (or two) every episode. Politics, breaking news, pop culture... whatever happens to be on our minds when we start recording. There is no main agenda, other than to discuss these news items and events that instill within us a growing alienation from what we might have thought of at one point as the rational world. We're also hoping to drag a variety of guest hosts into the mix to help spread the madness and add to the voices in your head.


We're looking forward to entertaining you with our thoughts on a variety of topics, and hope you find the time to listen, suggest topics, or even join in yourselves. Because as the man once said, we're all in it together.
