Well folks! 2025 has come and gone and left a path of destruction in it's wake. However, it's also left a bunch of music, movies and a lot of books that we enjoyed over this past year. Tune in as the fellas go over some of the highlights and take a bit of their retrospective look at this past year and see if anything stands out for you as well to check out. Check it out and see you next year!

In this, our most current foray into albums that both of us enjoy, we decided to look at a double whammy of releases provided by the one majestic darkness brought to our meager ears by the most talented Chelsea Wolfe! Taking a listen to 2010's "The Grime and the Glow" and also 2011's "Apocalypsis", we once again trip all over ourselves talking about exactly what hooked us in those early albums and early performances we managed to catch, and how stoked we are, and the continued success of this amazing and most provocative musician. Take a lesson as we also catch up on what we've been watching!

In this episode, our paths just so happened to cross with one of the masterminds behind Irish Voodoo/Black Voodoo Records... the man, the myth, the Megadeth fan: Daniel "Danny" King! As you'll be able to tell, Danny is a fan of music from all over the place, but he's a person who likes to put the spotlight on some of the local talent around him. For this, I'm pretty sure some of the bands that have been chosen to be amongst the elite within the ranks of BVR releases count themselves lucky! Tune in to hear him talk about what his process is, how he selects the bands he decides to work with, and what Corey Feldman might be up to. Believe us, it'll make sense once you listen! Check it out!

Returning to our world-famous top 10 lists, and continuing on our journey to document our favorite directors, this time we take on our favorite comedy directors! We keep saying this is tough, and it really is because it's incredibly easy to overlook something that is a favor, and it's also incredibly easy to have recency bias, but I think we did all right. Check out what we both overlapped on and what we both re-introduced, plus catch up on what we've been listening to!

What better way to ring in the spooky season than with the following guest! He's not just one of our great friends; he's also an accomplished musician, and for those paying attention and for those looking to expand their music listening powers, he's also the soul mover and shaker behind the record label Baneful Genesis! Kevin Chan has incredibly familiar beginnings, and when you hear about his adventures as both a musician and a label owner, you know there is a lot of hard work going into the entire process, and Kevin's integrity shows the entire way through. Listening as he opens up about what it's like running a label, what it takes to get his attention or maybe anybody else's attention when it comes to working in a band, and because it is the spirit of the season, we share some scary stories and catch up on what we've been listening to and what we've been watching!

Please make sure to follow and support Baneful Genesis!

As we all know, nowadays there's a ton of streaming platforms for whatever your taste might be. Whether it's movies or music or even video games, there's an option for pretty much everything. Since we mostly talk music, we're going to pit some of the streaming platforms we kind of know about to see what works best for us and may be introduce you to an alternative if you should ever need one.

Coming up in the music scene as the fellas have, they were always aware that three albums always had the tendency to split fan bases apart. These would be: Entombed's "Wolverine Blues', Carcass' "Heartwork", and Sepultura's "Roots". We know there are tons of others, but this is where our conversation starts. Plus, we catch up with what we've been listening to and what we've been watching, check it out!

There's this weird affliction that tends to hit people and the only real symptom of it is they collect things. Whether it's out of habit, therapeutic or for some other weird reason, a lot of us do it and a lot of the people we know do it. So what do we collect here? Primarily it's music and then it can go over to movies books and even toys. So what got you collecting? Here's some quick information as to what started us down this path and extra special bonus, listen all the way to the end where special friend of the show Brian from the band Skyeater drops in as he's also helping us video this show!
