Small Beans

Michael and Jonny bring you the news of the week, both Small Beans and otherwise.

In the Coen's second number, Nic Cage and Holly Hunter prove that it takes a village to kidnap, raise, almost kill, and then return a child. Join hosts Michael Swaim and Abe Epperson for the ride.

Abe and Cristian put their heads together about Exoplanets, Goldilocks Planets, the search for new planets, basically everything about planets. PLAN to hear IT! Get it? PLAN-IT? Planet!

Three good friends attempt to define dancing. It's our Wall-E episode!

Abe, Mike, and special guest DOB dive into one of the few Tim Burton movies that doesn't feature vertical black-and-white stripes! Featuring a cast of thousands, most of whom get turned into red skeletons.

Star Hodge joins your Rough Stuff hosts to discuss the joys of adolescence, including but not limited to: getting spat on by bullies, finding refuge in the library's limited internet connectivity, and creating the timeless character Sailor Kitty from the planet Kitty.

This is a show about the films of the Coen Brothers, hosted by Abe Epperson and Michael Swaim. This is the Blood Simple episode.

Whether you cry near or far, this is the fifth time you've done it, and it's in America now! Is that good? Join David Christopher Bell, Adam Ganser and Michael Swaim as they answer that question more thoroughly than anyone probably should.

Star returns to laud Portal 2 for its awesomeness! The fellas agree.

A couple of Small Beans tackle a couple of big topics. Namely, "what's the best spaceship?" and "why are black holes so aggro? What the fuck is their problem, exactly?" Join hosts Cristian Ramirez and Abe Epperson on a trip around the cosmos...in your ears!

DOB stops by to unabashedly defend Mel Gibson's every choice, action and belief. Just kidding; we talk about Maverick.

Stollhouse herself joins hosts Bridgett and Sarah to expound upon being the skinniest kid in fat camp (even though it's a class, not a camp), and revel in the reliably embarrassing world of High School musical theater.

Tom Reimann of Gamefully Unemployed ventures to the deepest levels of the Pit, to help Swaim make some sense of the pains, absences, and stresses that sometimes make self-annihilation seem pretty damn appealing. That's right; it's the suicide episode. Tread softly and be brave. You are loved.

No guests. No filler. Just Skyrim. The 1Upsmanship fellas take on an obligatory entry in gaming history, and the current crown jewel of the Elder Scrolls universe.

Robert Evans helps Abe and Mike wrap their heads around PTA's epic masterpiece, Magnolia, in all of its 3-hour glory. Get ready to understand everything about everything, buttholes.
