The longer the pod runs, the more West-Coast voices we seem to accumulate. This week we&#39;re talking to Kingsport native Rashad Hunter (@bomani_shad on IG) about his journey through multiple career paths out in California. This one&#39;s uplifting so if you&#39;re not with the positive vibes you can peace out.

Episode 25 - Lets Put the Fun in FunFest

In this first ever double upload/half episode fiasco, we take a look at the recently released Black Widow as well as muse briefly about the third and most recent season of The Sinner. (boy howdy it&#39;s summer and the wheels are coming off over here in the editing department so thank you for being patient with us.)

Episode 24.5 - Russian Summer Special

This episode is slightly different than our usual fare of pop-culture and cinema-adjacent goofs and discussion. This listens kinda like an honest interview with the mayor of a small town, and dare I say it, it&#39;s the closest thing to journalism this pod has ever done. If this isn&#39;t your cup of tea we&#39;ll have a slightly abridged episode of our usual selves coming out as well this week.

Episode 24 - The Simple Intrigue of Public Service Feat. Mayor Shull

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/7/9/18/c6fedf03-6b4a-404e-910c-f3e0a52a785d_brainbleed_episode_24.mp3

Time&#39;s weird. Should a &#34;big dumb action movie&#34; try to mess with that? Idk but it had some neat aliens in it.

Episode 23 - Today's Yesterday Next Month War

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/7/5/20/acc803bf-04e9-457f-9abf-45fc3235b75a_brainbleed_episode_23.mp3

In this (delayed) episode, we get in on the discussion surrounding the Conjuring cinematic universe. Let&#39;s get spooky.

This week we&#39;re discussing season 1 of The Sinner (USA show hosted on Netflix). Boy howdy is there a lot to talk about. We even hazard at some philosophy (don&#39;t worry, nothing TOO serious haha jk unless)

Episode 21 - Sinner Sinner, Chicken Dinner

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/6/17/4/1648c73e-f88f-4311-a7aa-a9b4947e0740_brainbleed_episode_21.mp3

Chris is back for his third appearance on the show. (He keeps agreeing to do it so we keep having him on idk he&#39;ll wise up eventually.) Had a great time talking about Army of the Dead and Zack Snyder in general.

Episode 20 - The Brainbleed Hat Trick Ft. Snyder-Insider Chris McElroy

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/6/9/16/48eebceb-dbea-4f59-9bf4-af38a13cbb77_brainbleed_episode_20.mp3

Following in the footsteps of Icarus, some corporate bigwigs decided to go all-in on a streaming service. What followed did not go as planned. Let&#39;s explore the derelict that is; quibi.

Episode 19 - The Absolute Hubris of Quibi

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/6/4/2/24c7a46e-ec46-4e28-8967-79b6b8c5e488_brainbleed_episode_19.mp3

Invincible. It&#39;s real good. Let&#39;s talk about it.

Episode 18 - Violent Superhero Cartoon, but Good?

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/5/26/18/69b307d6-2df5-438b-9880-a79a8210108d_brainbleed_episode_18.mp3

This one does what it says on the tin. Ever wanted to hear two music educators talk about Whiplash? This one&#39;s for you.

Episode 17 - The Episode About Whiplash

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/5/19/1/3e202cdb-226b-408a-ab64-b79220ee6b09_brainbleed_episode_17.mp3

Davy Crockett is a household name. Or is it? This week we explore the Disney classic film exploring the folk legend that is Davy Crockett.

Episode 16 - Let's Get Wavy, Davy

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/5/12/1/ab72f1db-3273-44a8-bc83-6c19b2eb9845_brainbleed_episode_16.mp3

This week we called in an expert. He&#39;s an expert on something I&#39;m sure. It was a blast chatting with Turner Hawkins about film scores, the Jonas Brothers, (and kind of even soccer). (P.S. yes the beginning is intentional it&#39;s a bit)

Episode 15 - Wagner, How-To's, and Sports?

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/4/28/2/5d996958-d6f2-4ce8-ad80-ccd6f6282274_brainbleed_episode_15.mp3

Taking on such an artistically dense film was a challenge. So much so that we had to call in the help of California residents Chris McElroy and Corey Schmalzle. It feels like this may be our most on topic episode to date, so listen at your own risk. Also contains: bad puns, REALLY in depth discussion of large corporations and business models, more bad puns, and maybe some insightful dialogue?

Episode 14 - Assemble the Boys, We're Talking About Mortal Kombat

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/4/21/5/e50bc9b9-f857-431c-a757-313daff815d5_brainbleed_episode_14.mp3

We talk about the Oscar winners for best leading actor for the last 10 years. It yields a truly surprising amount of content before we devolve into madness. Enjoy.

Episode 13 - Who's Been Winning All the Oscars?

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/4/14/1/d400d820-9ea2-4a68-a8d3-e6ffe3e32ddd_brainbleed_episode_13.mp3

We&#39;re talking Egypt, we&#39;re talking The Sound of Metal, we&#39;re talking Falcon and Winter Soldier, we&#39;re talking more Egypt. This episode&#39;s a real hum-dinger.

Episode 12 - The Sound of Egypt

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/4/6/23/19945505-2d2a-46da-bdc8-01652f6e9b89_brainbleed_episode_12.mp3

In this, possibly our highest IQ endeavor yet, we examine a few long running animated tv shows and compare them. Throw your thinking cap on and join us. (We got jokes at the beginning and end all work and no play, you know the rest)

Episode 11 - We Should Talk About Animation

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/3/30/23/4b718318-4ccd-4e4c-9b53-e4b3e1042659_brainbleed_episode_11.mp3

This is our most serious episode yet. No jokes, no bits, no gags, just 50 minutes of dissecting a film from 2006. (heavy sarcasm)

Episode 10 - A Very Strict Discussion of Stranger Than Fiction

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/3/24/2/ea76c1e4-14b7-40e0-90ee-d993e8573acc_brainbleed_episode_10.mp3

This week we take a look into how exactly we&#39;re writing our female villains as a society, and if that&#39;s a good thing or not. We embark on this endeavor with fellow minded creative and friend of the pod Hannah Swayze. (also some slightly weird audio stuff this week. Tried some new stuff, some of it worked some of it didn&#39;t, thanks for hanging with us)

Episode 9 - Female Villains and Illicit Oscar Betting! Feat. Hannah Swayze

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/3/17/0/057a1eb8-602b-40c9-865f-f31d8ae1e59b_brainbleed_episode_9.mp3

This week we engage in a round-table discussion of the recent Marvel TV show WandaVision, as well as general life and career talk with a special guest.

Episode 8 - Talking WandaVision and Constructive Criticism with Corey Schmalzle

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/3/10/3/d18ac42a-67e7-4080-bb8f-4f3df74851f4_brainbleed_episode_8.mp3

This week we devolve into madness. An attempted discussion of the Golden Globes goes off the rails and we start giving 5 year old hot takes. Enjoy at your own risk.

Episode 7 - Dr. Seuss, Golden Globes, and Old Hot Takes
