The finale of the 58th season of the show Presidential Elections in the United States went live last week and it had a pretty big twist ending.

 RiaW #366: Westworld | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 85:39

In the future when we have too much money and knowledge, two brave men decided to make a sex/murder theme park. But there's a problem, they may have made the sex robots... too good?For this week we dove into the prestige HBO series, Westworld. "But don't you guys do bad things?" We do what we want, and this week we wanted to talk about Westworld. We hope you do too.Obviously this contains major spoilers of episodes 1 - 5.

 RiaW #365: The Art of the Deal by Donald J. Trump reviewed | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 69:01

Back in 1987, back before he ever bragged about pussy grabbin, to Billy Bush, Donald J. Trump was a deal maker. Well, more like a sweaty conman in New York who owned some stuff largely due to loans and political capital given to him by his father.Never shy about self-promotion, DJT "wrote" a book (with former journalist Tony Schwartz) about how great he was, a largely fictionalized tale of triumph in New York real estate market. He bought a hotel and made it better. He built a casino. He spent a long time talking about an ice rink for some reason?We're not a political show, so we focused on literary value of this "best selling business book of all time", and found it to be about as successful as the tallest building in the world Donald built in Television City.

 Pain and Gain (2013) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 63:49

For the finale of #TheRocktober, we checked out Pain ampersand Gain, the light hearted comedy about a real group of body builders who tortured a business man for a month, stole everything he had, and murdered two other people.Okay, okay, it's not funny that those things really happened. And okay, it's not funny in the movie either. But boy did Michael Bay try to make it funny. Along with his myriad superfluous camera angles, he pushed The Rock into one of his weirdest performances to date and really searched for the humor in this tragic story.

 Rocky IV review | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 73:04

Apparently we're the weird ones here, but we haven't watched all the Rocky movies. Chris has seen two, Alex three, and this is Tanya's first. What a way to be introduced to the franchise, huh? Rocky is retired but still rich enough to buy robots for people who don't want them and watch friends die in the ring.But he still has what it takes to get punched in the head if that's what he has to do FOR AMERICA, which he does, ending the cold war.We're joined this week by Rocky enthusiast and smart movie reviewer Jeff Bayer of the Movie BS podcast who almost elevates our show but then we don't quite let him.
