The mysteries keep piling up as Jim and A.Ron break down Silo Season 3, Episode 6, “The Drive”. They debate the logistics of the show’s memory-wiping technology and speculate about the true nature of the Algorithm. But the biggest question may be this: Is the series laying the groundwork for a much bigger reveal, or simply spinning its wheels?

Ser A.Ron and King Jimhaerys continue their campaign through House of the Dragon Season Three with Episode Seven. Jim bemoans the current state of Team Black, while A.Ron urges Green loyalists to rally behind their one true hope…wait, Gwayne!? And don’t worry—Aemond’s Oedipus complex gets the attention it deserves. Stick around for a brief spoiler section at the end of the show—but only if you’re into that sort of thing.

Star Trek. The final frontier. These are the podcasts of three enthusiastic nerds.
In Star Trek: The Original Series “Shore Leave,” the Enterprise crew beams down for some much-needed R&R and ends up dodging their own daydreams. Sulu’s obsession with antique weapons resurfaces, and Jim, A.Ron, and Talitha debate two key questions: how many Talithas does it take to beat a tiger, and who in their right mind would want fantasies this dangerous?

Star Trek. The final frontier. These are the podcasts of three enthusiastic nerds.
In Star Trek: The Original Series “Balance of Terror,” Kirk faces a tense standoff with the Romulans while the Enterprise crew wrestles with Cold War paranoia and a little too much suspicion of Spock. Sure, the Romulan Commander looks remarkably like Spock’s dad — but that’s showbiz, Mister. Jim is back at the helm, and A.Ron and Talitha are at their stations, ready to follow their captain into the Neutral Zone.

Dwayne Johnson tackles his first role in which there is Oscar potential. Directed by Benny Safdie, The Smashing Machine tells the story of Mark Kerr, an MMA fighter going through major highs and lows. Matching Dwayne Johnson’s intensity is Emily Blunt as his problematic partner. Do Jim and A.Ron see this film as a new direction in the Rock’s career, or will the Smashing Machine fall flat on its face?

We’re rereleasing Bald Move’s coverage of The Martian (2015) in honor of the film’s 10th anniversary!
Check out the Matt Damon poster photos here!
Jim and A.Ron saw Ridley Scott’s “The Martian” last night, starring Matt Damon, and have a lot to say about it. Note, the first part of the podcast is spoiler free, but then when we say we’re about to spoil things, that’s your cue to get out while the getting is good. Along the way, we talk about the trailers we saw for The Revenant, The Big Short, Joy, and Concussion.
If you are still hungry for more Martian goodness, might I recommend reading Andy Weir’s original book (The Martian) the film is based on? Then, I’d proceed to reading Robert Zubrin’s A Case For Mars, upon which most of the science of the book and film are based upon. And if that’s not enough, check out the Red/Green/Blue Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson.

In honor of Batman Begins (2005) turning 20, we’re releasing the classic Bald Move coverage on the film.
Special thanks to Ethan and Allison for commissioning Batman Begins, the first in the Nolanverse Batman trilogy (you can see our podcast on Batman: The Dark Knight here). This is a fantastic comic book movie that also happens to be a fantastic film in it’s own right. We love the fusion of gritty realism with the strong emotional core and exploration of Bruce Wayne and his struggle to walk the narrow path between justice and vengeance. Excellent casting, excellent performances, and while the third act perhaps leaves something to be desired in light of a decade of super hero movies continually trying to outdo themselves in terms of spectacle, the movie holds up like a champ and is an undeniable part of what makes the sequel work so superbly.
Thanks again Ethan and Allison! We couldn’t do our thing without you!

Simmons plays a ripped, PG-13 version of the jolly old elf. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Chris Evans have to find ole Kriss Kringle after he’s abducted. Is it an overly-CGIed movie with no heart?

Chasing greatness requires sacrifice, but does it require torturous conditions? Damien Chazelle wrote and directed a film that’s so hard to watch sometimes, but you can’t look away. J.K. Simmons plays the demented instructor of protege drummer Andrew, played by Miles Teller. What is the movie trying to say? Is it a maddening endorsement of maniacal leadership? Or is it a warning?

Who was Ed Wood? This infamous auteur gathered a cult-following, a precursor of the “Ed Breen”s and “Tommy Wiseau”s of today. In this movie, Johnny Depp plays Ed Wood, an artist fighting the Hollywood machine, fighting societal expectations, and fighting for his friends. This highly quotable movie features lots of laughs, heartbreak, and otherwise obscure Hollywood history.

Francis Ford Coppola swung for the fences on this project. Megalopolis (2024) is a large, star-studded cast of people you know and love. The sci-fi, the drama, and the acting all have highs and lows through the film. Without the benefit of foresight, it’s hard to know exactly how this movie will impact the audiences of the future. But in the present, it just seems like Coppola thinks you’re a bit slow.
The next Bald Move First Run movie is Gladiator 2 (2024)!

What happens when you have an unrepentant killer as a protagonist? The Sword of Doom (1966) directed by Kihachi Okamoto won’t give you the answer to that question, but will give you plenty of time to consider it. This work of ultra-violent mayhem serves as inspiration for many western action flicks. Unpack this work of accidental genius with Jim and A.Ron.

Well, they’ve remade The Crow. I’m not sure who asked for this considering most of the movie-going public has probably never even seen the movie and for many of those who have, it holds a special place in their heart. A place that probably hides a bit of teenage angst and / or trauma. A place that they probably don’t want opened up and mined for dollars. But I guess this is just for the people in the goldilocks zone of the fandom, who don’t identify with the movie enough to be offended by a remake. And this podcast might just be the best test for which group you’re in.

What do sheep guts, snake parts, and a human skull have in common? Listen in to find out!

From writer/director Martin McDonagh comes Banshees of Inisherin (2022), a deeply sad and wildly hilarious movie about friendship on a remote island.

This hyper-stylized series is for anyone who likes vivid animation and explosive adventures.

Shogun 1980 pulls an interesting detail from the book, both Mariko and Blackthorne communicate in Latin. Though the 2024 adaptation was superior, one thing it will NEVER have is John Rhys-Davies pitching a fit! The differences in Mariko’s portrayal in 1980 by Yoko Shimada and the 2024 version by Anna Sawai are evident. Get the dish on the good and the goofy in Shogun 1980.

There are a few bumps in the road in Shogun 1980. Bad wigs aside, this show doesn’t flesh out characters in the same way Jim and A.Ron were hoping for. Mariko, a fan favorite from Shogun 2024, is severely lacking. But where this show compensates is in the absolute bonkers directing.

The Fall Guy show from the 80s gets a modern reincarnation in this David Leitch helmed project. As a man who comes from the stunt world, Leitch did an excellent job of portraying the stunt men and women with life and laughter. It has the action of John Wick and the heart of a romcom. Don’t let “comedy torture” fool you, it’s a good time!
Stay tuned for the next Bald Move First Run Movie: Furiosa (2024)!

If so, you might come away surprised at how well this incredibly difficult subject is handled!

If Chinatown (1974) were a funny movie, it would be Who Framed Roger Rabbit directed by Robert Zemeckis. Jim and A.Ron chat about the physics of Toontown, Bob Hoskins’ no holds barred performance, and Jim’s level of attraction to Jessica Rabbit. It’s a wild ride through toon humor, governmental corruption, and scenes to traumatize the kids. Yay!

Lunch 420 was plagued by technical difficulties. Is it because Discord broke a cardinal developer rule by hastily rolling out an update at the tail end of a work week or is it because we indulged too heavily in the devil’s lettuce and fat-fingered the disconnect button? We’ll never tell, but we are presenting the raw, unvarnished fiasco in all its glory.

If you’ve been watching Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, you’ve heard the name Ryan Condal. Condal’s direction of the show greatly expands on just a few pages of the book to make the second episode of HOTD. The adaptation greatly develops the characters of Prince Daemon and Criston Cole. For this episode, Jim and A.Ron are covering pages 360 – 363 of the hardcover version of Fire and Blood.

In this Empire Business April 2024 update, get the scoop on:
- Price changes in the Club
- Additions to Club benefits and features
- Cost breakdowns for operations
- New products
- A new Bald Move project
We’re started a feature designed to give you a more transparent look into the day to day decisions and inner workings of the Bald Move empire, exclusively for our club members. In honor of one of the all-time great series and the one that gave us our start, we’re calling it Empire Business. It isn’t meant to be a regular weekly feature, it’s more of a “whenever we have something interesting to talk about and remember to turn the mics on” kind of thing.
We hope you enjoy it.

This is not a drill. A.Ron convinced Jim to read a fantasy novel. GASP! The guys are getting back into the spirit of House of the Dragon by reading Fire and Blood by George R.R. Martin. Listen and read along as the book is held up to the show. There will be no spoilers for anything that hasn’t happened in season one of House of the Dragon. This episode covers pages 338 – 360 of the hardcover version of Fire and Blood.

It’s a slick episode of Shogun. Mariko, played by Anna Sawai, has been a stand out character since the pilot. In this episode she unleashes her full power and charges full steam ahead into battle. Yabushige is just as psychotic and humorous as before. Would he make a last minute “conversion” to save his own skin? It might be the laugh Jim and A.Ron need after this episode.
You will be able to send your feedback to shogun@baldmove.com. Do NOT send spoilers from the book or actual history please.

At the midpoint of the season, Ahsoka has finally hooked Jim and A.Ron. Sabine can’t be trusted and we all seem to know it except for Ahsoka. Is an orange lightsaber for the chaotic neutral characters? And green dust doesn’t mean someone is dead. We’re gonna need more proof than that. And there’s a spicy feedback section to top it all off.

There are conspiracy theories to be made out of this movie. From director Tony Scott comes a thriller with more relevance to us now than ever. A big wig in the NSA needs to cover his tracks and Will Smith gets caught in the middle. The fight for privacy will feel familiar and depressing. To distract you from that, there’s a great cat actor. What did this movie get right and what did it get wrong about privacy?

We want answers! Congratulations to the writers of Foundation for writing an effective villain, we hate Tellem. Between missing memories and sabotaged tech, Jim and A.Ron have some questions. Who is secretly working against Empire? Is Demerzel a double agent? How could psychohistory account for every little detail?

Everything is canon now and you better remember every detail because a lot of it is coming back. There’s extra lightsabers on the wall, a random kind, and more. Join A.Ron and Jim as they sort through the fact and implied truth in the new series Ahsoka. And is this whole season the opening crawl for a Dave Filoni trilogy?? IT BETTER NOT BE.
Want to take a peek into the creative minds of Al and Joe? Here’s your chance to get behind the scenes bonus material for the most recent episode of Rah Rah Riverdale!
Asoka Tano enters swinging her dual lightsabers. She must hunt down some mysterious Sith. Meanwhile, Ahsoka’s Padawan, Sabine, is becoming disillusioned with her master. Sound familiar to you Star Wars: The Clone Wars fans? Jim and A.Ron are hoping Dave Filoni’s remix takes itself less seriously in the coming episodes.
Foundation delivers another episode of great writing and jaw-dropping visuals. Hari’s plans remain a mystery, Demerzel remains a cipher. As characters push and pull each other into different directions, Jim and A.Ron wonder who will be lost to Empire. And there’s another massive cliffhanger as the cherry on top.
Sandy’s life is in danger. The identity of the mole is revealed. Jim recants his opinion on the cop. Carolyn is messing with other people’s cool stuff. Some interesting observations in the feedback. Don’t you dare simp!
There are SPOILERS ahead. Get the scoop on what Jim and A.Ron are watching behind the scenes.
Get the scoop on Foundation from writer and executive producer; David S. Goyer. He joins Jim and A.Ron to chat about theories, listener questions, and behind the scenes stories. Get the answers to your burning questions on Demerzel, casting, ship design, navigating Asimov’s universe, and more! Stay tuned, Goyer reports there are big things to come!
After another great episode, Jim and A.Ron have theories to present. What is real? What’s on Jared Harris’ head? Can we trust Hari? That soft focus is looking pretty suspicious. Anyone else getting flashbacks to Westworld? Dip your toes into this episode of Foundation and Podcast.
Is there a mastermind behind all of this? Clement remains one slippery SOB. Raylan and Carolyn’s relationship is in hot water. Are they all stumbling through this on blind luck? With only two episodes left, Jim and A.Ron are trying desperately to figure out the identity of the mole.
Sansa is made to pay for Robb's growing legend. After dealing with Joffrey's misplaced wrath, she must test her wits with Tyrion for the first time. Joining the discussion this week: Dr. Valerie Garver, Dr. Gabrielle Storey, and Dr. Carol Parish Jamison.
Season 2 is all wrapped up, tune in to hear your thoughts and feedback as Jim and A.Ron discuss the season. How are your favorite hosts feeling about Strange New Worlds? What were their favorite episodes? And catch their hopes and dreams for season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and beyond.
From director Steven Norrington and the patron of modern sci-fi, David S. Goyer, comes the vampire-action movie that defined an aesthetic. The movie stars newly minted Bald Move Badass Wesley Snipes. His background in martial arts makes this an exciting piece of cinema. Sink your teeth into the BEST vampire movie of all time!
What’s your favorite memory? Would you inhabit it for all eternity? From filmmaker Hirokazu Koreeda comes a documentary-style film featuring characters in limbo and given the choice to inhabit a past memory. This film won’t give you clear answers to every question, and that’s part of the intrigue. Watch these characters accept, reject, and reflect as they contemplate their past lives. Thank you Andy for commissioning this film!
Day’s actions are attracting attention from Dawn and Dusk. Hari and Salvor are making moves. Can they figure out what the signal means? With the exciting potential of having David Goyer stop by on the pod, you can check out Goyer’s Reddit thread here.
The Gorn are on their way to becoming a classic Star Trek villain. But what are they up to? These don’t seem to be the same Gorn La’an encountered. Grab a lizard fighting weapon and sound the horn of Cayuga, the crew is riding into battle in this season finale.
Catelyn's hope for peace dies again as she witnesses Renly and Stannis at loggerheads. Joining to discuss: Drs. Gabrielle Storey, Carol Parrish Jamison, and Valerie Garver. Indulge with Dr. Storey's book! Revel in Dr. Jamison's book! Luxuriate in Dr. Garver's book!
Eventually you’ll get what you want, and we know you want more Timothy Olyphant. How high would the moral stakes have to be for the audience to be ok with Raylan outright attacking Clement? See which predictions came true and find out what the Chicken Fat song has to do with it all.
Hari Seldon’s actions are increasingly suspicious. Psychohistory doesn’t care about love. People are going on conflicting missions. We find out more about the Prime Radiant, but still don’t understand what our solar system is doing here. And Jim and A.Ron are really hoping that Adam Savage is watching this show because he needs to make some of these props.
Who will try to climb Mt. Raylan before the series is over and why will it be Carolyn? Does Sweety mean what we think it means? And how vengeful are the Albanians really? Join us for our discussion of Justified: City Primeval episode 4, Kokomo, and let us know what you think.
It’s a musical episode that is out of this world, literally! A.Ron loved it, Jim hated it. But both agree that Pelia is annoying. Jim and A.Ron had some predictions on which cast members would make good singers…find out if they were right! And somebody please stop Spock from taking a red pill.
A.Ron dives deep into Faceless Man religion, Bloody Mummers, and Arya's impact on the fate of the realm.
In honor of The Fugitive being released 30 years ago today, we're doing a special rerelease of this pod so you can experience the heart-pounding chase all over again! Special thanks to DrKen (previous commissioner of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance) for commissioning this great thriller from the 90's, The Fugitive, starring Harrison Ford as brilliant doctor wrongfully accused of the murder of his wife evading the dogged pursuit of Tommy Lee Jones as U.S. Marshal. This is one of the tightest films you'll ever see, effortlessly moving from one set piece to another, drawing strength and vitality from the charisma and presence of it's two brightest stars, achieving the rare balance where you want the protagonist and antagonist to find a way to both win. We have fond memories of this film from our youth, and we found it held up like Ford's Finger 'O Doom. Thanks again, DrKen! If you ever have to evade justice, we got a couple of bucks and a bed in the basement for you!
"Off the Clock" is our weekly premium show where we talk about all the TV we've been watching in our free time. One episode per month is also dedicated to discussion of topics voted on by our Patreon supporters.
Jim and A.Ron aren’t the only ones obsessed with action heroes. Joining Bald Move is Shea Serrano, author of Action Hero Scouting Project. Shea came to spar on behalf of his favorite badasses. Tune in as he, Jim, and A.Ron discuss what it means to be an action hero, their personal qualifying factors, and why action movies mean so much to them. Find out which stars Shea is repping in this episode for Badass Fest V.
What makes for a satisfying ending? In “ABQ” we meet Mike Ehrmentraut when he gets a devastated Jesse prepared to call in Jane’s death, Walt gets his tumor removed before Skyler confronts him and asks him to leave, and Donald mourns the loss of his daughter before we see where all of those black and white teasers were heading when Wayfarer 515 crashes above the White household. The finale works as a conclusion that ties up so much of what the season has asked us to think about while setting things up for the future. The satisfaction it provides feels like a reward for paying attention.
It’s hard to tell what is real and what is an elaborate hologram. What is going on with Hari Seldon? First he’s not leaving footprints (very cool effects), and later found unconscious. And we have a reunion that isn’t as joyous as one might think. But reality is hard to trust here. Listen to the podcast, this is what the Prime Radiant requires.
We need to face the music, Raylan is a bad dad. There, I said it! Even though there’s a goodbye, we do get to meet a couple of fun new characters. The mad man Clement is ready to hustle the Albanians. Some of the cops are getting squirrely. And the show itself starts to deconstruct the Raylan mythos.
It is a right of passage for each sci-fi series to do a “war” episode. Ortegas is not happy about the ship’s new guest, the guest being the Klingon war criminal Rah. Known as the “Butcher”, Rah’s presence on the Enterprise triggers PTSD in Dr. M’Benga. Get to know more of M’Benga’s backstory in this excellently written episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
Philip Haberkern (Boston University) explains the difference between power and authority as we revisit the happiest Tyrion chapter.
CHAMPION. CHARISMA. CHARACTER. These are the qualities that make a badass. July is almost over and that means Badass Fest V is coming to a close. Check out Jim and A.Ron’s newest rankings. Do you agree?
Do you ever think about death? Barbie does too! Stereotypical Barbie is having problems; her feet are flat, her imaginary water is cold, and she’s having an existential crisis. (#justgirlythings) Joining A.Ron on this pod is Bald Move’s very own producer, Talitha. Between the laugh out loud jokes and groovy outfits, the movie makes space to discuss feminism, identity, and patriarchy. Find out how Greta Gerwig weaves together the philosophy and comedy in Bald Move’s coverage of Barbie! It’s sublime.
It’s the Star Trek: Lower Decks crossover that we needed! After a selfie activates a portal, Boimler and Mariner find themselves on the Enterprise. There’s been a lot of time travel in ST: SNW, so everyone should know the rules, right? Well, the USS Cerritos crew members are having trouble keeping “future-stuff” to themselves. Put a little madcap in your Star Trek with this episode!
CHAMPION. CHARISMA. CHARACTER. These are the qualities that make a badass. Bruce Lee is the unconventional, influential, Kung fu champ on Mt. Crushmore. As Enter the Dragon approaches its 50th anniversary, Jim and A.Ron discuss the influence this movie has on Hollywood today. We lost the star of Bruce Lee too soon, but his artistry echoes on. Enjoy this episode on the snake-slapping, crotch-crunching mayhem that is Enter the Dragon.
Are there any episodes that you dread rewatching? Your hosts break down one of the most heartbreaking episodes in the whole series, “Phoenix.” Walt makes the deal at the cost of missing Holly's birth, is deeply offended by the concept of charity, gets blackmailed by Jane, has a highly coincidental meeting at a bar, and then watches Jane die. Y'know, a typical week in the life of a meth kingpin. But how responsible is Walt for Jane's death? Is it really Jesse’s fault that Walt misses Holly’s birth? Why do Walt and Donald "other" Jesse's "little junkie girlfriend" and Jane's "scumbag" boyfriend, respectively? Join Pete and Courtney as they unpack the penultimate episode of season 2.
In honor of this movie’s 25th anniversary, we’re doing a special rerelease podcast! Mr. Justin “Hatorian” K. won a Bald Move fantasy football league, and this was his reward; the selection of the modern classic war movie, "Saving Private Ryan". Directed by Steven Spielberg, and starring every man in Hollywood (Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, Vin Diesel, Bryan Cranston, NATHAN FILLION, Paul Giamatti, among others), it's a pitiless look into the hell that is war. It is also a moving, heroic, complex tale of brotherhood, bravery, cowardice, and loss. It's a powerful film that you really must see before partaking in the podcast, but if you've already stormed the beaches of Normandy with Capt. Miller and company, please enjoy the podcast.
Are you someone who’s read the books, and yet you’re still confused? Don’t worry, you’re in good company. Get the breakdown that you need from Jim and A.Ron as they discuss the rebrand of the Foundation. The Empire is in decline. The Foundation has taken on the role of a religion. What do the beautiful blue eyes mean? Are we going to see a Tywin-like play for the throne?
Christopher Nolan’s new film is terrifying on many levels. No doubt you’ve heard of Oppenheimer the scientist, but are you ready to get to know the human being? The film comes at the issue of the atomic bomb from many angles. Nolan uses his sci-fi-esque style to breathe life into the man who would become death. If you’re looking for a nuanced look at the birth of the atomic bomb, and the minds behind it, this is the movie for you.
Raylan is back with his daughter Willa in tow. In two sweeping episodes, J:CP effortlessly builds a rich setting in Detroit. We meet a cast of characters who are all more than what meets the eye. There’s a mysterious tunnel system. And various Chekov’s nouns are introduced for what we hope are going to be big payoffs. Will Raylan’s cowboy approach be enough to take on the criminals in the streets of Detroit?
Uhura encounters a mysterious message. She is soon haunted by zombies and nightmares. Kirk and Spock finally meet. And turns out you can sift through someone’s personal logs whenever you want…so long as they’re dead. With the looming threat of space madness, the crew may be dealing with a menace they don’t understand. Listen to the episode, you space hippie!
What's the deal with Jojen? Pádraig MacCarron of the University of Limerick discusses his fevered origin story, his odd relationship to time, and his ultimate fate. Also Bran is in this chapter too.
CHAMPION. CHARISMA. CHARACTER. These are the qualities that make a badass. Who are the new challengers to Mt. Crushmore? Find out who makes the cut, and who isn’t cut enough. Tune into this livestream where Jim and A.Ron duke it out over the criteria of what makes a badass.
CHAMPION. CHARISMA. CHARACTER. These are the qualities that make a badass. What’s better than an astronaut? A third generation driller. Bruce Willis, the CHARISMA KING, is gonna save the world from a giant asteroid. There’s a cast full of recognizable actors in their younger days. A.Ron claims that Armageddon has done more good for the world than any other movie. And this might be one of Michael Bay’s most chaotic projects, therefore you NEED to go watch it on Max right now. Pork rinds!
If you find Skyler singing “Happy Birthday” cringey, you’re in good company. While it may be a scene that even made the crew feel uncomfortable, it’s an important one that gives clarity to Skyler’s choices. Speaking of fateful decisions, this is an episode teeming with them. Join hosts Courtney and Pete as they discuss Jesse’s downward spiral, Jane’s decision to join him there, and Walt’s first meeting with “the guy” (who knows another guy who apparently knows Saul). So put on your best corporate smile, grab a soda, and join your hosts as they ponder just how alike Walt and Gus are.
The wait is over! Crack open your cryopod and tune into Jim and A.Ron’s thoughts on the first episode of an exciting season. Lee Pace and Jarry Harry return to the cosmos as leads in this interplanetary sci-fi based on the book series by Isaac Asimov. The Empire requires respect. Will the Foundation be its ruin? Find out on this season of Foundation!
Now what if I told you that this episode of Star Trek is the straight up comedy version of “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”? Would you believe me? Spock is dealing with his emotional side, Kirk serves up some great jokes, and several crew members learn to appreciate their relationships. Listen in to hear about all this and A.Ron’s shout-out in this episode of Baldly Go!
Jan Doolittle Wilson returns to discuss Dany's first steps into politics. Qarth is a welcome oasis, but trust no one!
Why should you be interested in Justified: City Primeval? Jim and A.Ron are here to tell you! You do not need to have watched Justified in order to enjoy this new show. All you need to know is that Timothy Olyphant will be there. Joining him are his real-life daughter, playing his on-screen daughter, and Boyd Holbrook, psychopath extraordinaire. Get the deets on the podcast release schedule and more in this preview!
CHAMPION. CHARACTER. CHARISMA. Recorded live, Jim and A.Ron debate the standing of Sylvester Stallone. Will Sly maintain his ranking in the hallowed halls of Bald Move's Badass Hall of Fame? Or will this grunting, sneering meathead be ousted for his lack of "C"s? Find out now!
This podcast, should you choose to listen, will recount the adventure of Jim and A.Ron watching M:I 7. Zooooom! Tom Cruise runs faster than he’s ever run before. Marvel alumni, Hayley Atwell and Pom Klementieff, join the cast. There are great stunts and fun performances by characters new and old to the franchise. What impossible mission will Ethan Hunt tackle this time?
CHAMPION. CHARISMA. CHARACTER. These are the qualities that make a badass. Next up in the Badass lineup is Demolition Man! Sylvester Stallone (badass status pending) and Wesley Snipes star in a movie that came out at the tail end of roided-up action flicks. San Angeles is a utopia/dystopia full of the ultimate cringe in laws, logic, and slang. And Stallone isn’t having it. The cops release Snipes to take down the swearing, violent Stallone. Watch these two rampage across the nanny state.
Does Jesse have a type? When he feels rejected by Jane some comparisons to Walt start to emerge. More bad news, male kangaroos don’t have pouches. Junior gets his first taste of Tequila and what’s been bubbling up between Hank and Walt comes out in the worst possible way. But hey, they’re really excited about the future at the White house and Walt’s on the case to get rid of the rot. This is peak decay in Walt’s journey of growth, decay, and transformation, and as much as he’d like to become something different he’s looking a lot more like Heisneberg than even he understands.
It has been 138 years since the first season of Foundation but it's finally returning to Apple TV+ on July 14th, so open your cryopod, thaw yourself out, and refresh your memory with our season 2 preview. And remember to respect and enjoy the podcast.
The crew of the Enterprise needs to clean up a botched mission that violated the Prime Directive. A strange illness passes over them and they rapidly begin to forget who they are. Armed with only base instinct and curiosity, can the crew regain their memory without losing their humanity? And A.Ron would like to point out that Star Trek often has good (and bad) dating advice for young nerds.
Arya finds herself in the darkest possible place. Torture, rape, and senseless murder are before her daily as Gregor Clegane goes to work. Tara Jenkins returns to talk about the psychological impact.
Catch up with all the latest TV we've been watching but not talking about outside of the Club.
Broadcasting from the edge of Tornado Alley, Jim and A.Ron have a storm report. Find out where Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, and Cary Elwes fall on the “f around and find out” scale as they chase tornadoes. Go back to a time where a lot of the cool effects were still practical and studios didn’t churn out sequels for every single hit…hold on…there is a sequel in the works. Come chase this funnel with us!
Where do you store your keys when you’re way out in the boonies in an RV cooking meth? Does methylamine go bad? Why does Walt punch the paper towel dispenser after receiving such good news? And what’s the deal with Walt’s mother? Join your hosts, Courtney and Pete, as they explore these questions and more…
CHAMPION. CHARISMA. CHARACTER. These are the qualities that make a badass. It’s that time of year again where Jim and A.Ron bring you coverage of the best action movies of yesteryears. It was a time where stars took steroids, the one-liners became iconic, and leading men were dripping in oil. This kickoff pod comes to you live from Mariemont Theater in Cincinnati! Tune in, and hulk out to Jim and A.Ron’s take on Total Recall!
It’s the Indiana Jones movie that no one asked for, but it’s the fun send off the fans needed! How do Jim and A.Ron feel about the new artifact? Did the plot make sense? How does Phoebe Waller-Bridge fit into this well-loved franchise? It’s a galloping adventure with the world’s most charismatic archeologist and scoundrel, Harrison Ford, I mean, Indiana Jones!
Some crew members wander NYC, wait, that's not right. The crew wanders Toronto! La’an is given some essential character beats. This version of Kirk has never been to Earth before, but still has all the classic Kirk quirks. As they charm and bluff their way through the Canadian metropolis, Jim and A.Ron wonder, could OnlyFans solve the financial needs of a stranded crew?
Jason Eberl rejoins the discussion of Tyrion's moral development. Arthur Njamfa pressed the matter of Tyrion's view of women. Check out Dr. Eberl's book on Star Wars!
The last course is served on this season of The Bear. This character study was an exquisite sweet and salty combo that encapsulated the nuances of being a flawed human being. Between the laughs and heartbreak, there’s a smorgasbord of colorful characters you don’t want to miss.
It’s a chaotic family reunion to rival all chaotic family reunions. Between the enablers, pacifiers, and people who just can’t be normal, you might have flashbacks to that one traumatic Thanksgiving years ago. And when it becomes too much to bear (ha), the show will give you a break. Put your phone down for this watch, you’ll get so much more.
Do you see Jimmy McGill or do you see Saul Goodman? First introduced to us as a cartoonish caricature in the eighth episode of season two, there’s a lot more to everyone’s favorite criminal lawyer than initially meets the eye. Saul offers much needed comic relief, but we know from BCS that underneath the hilarious quips and colorful, outlandish suits is a deeply wounded man. Join Pete and Courtney as they ponder Saul’s role in Walter White’s success, how fear affects Walt and Hank, and why Jane keeps “coming back” to Jesse.
This is a special edition episode for your Bald Move Prestige feed. Jim and A.Ron love the flavor of The Bear, and want to dish on all the best parts. It’s a dry comedy about a bunch of dysfunctional people trying to open a restaurant. It examines joy, existential dread, and obsession in a setting that is literally falling to pieces. Grab a plate as Jim and A.Ron serve up some hot takes on an even hotter show.
It’s a movie that is so Wes Anderson, you’ll be bathing in pastel colors and meta dialogue for the full 1 hour and 44 minute run. This movie will ask, but never answer, a handful of questions. Is this movie profound? Is the audience meant to understand it? What is that on Jason Schwartzman’s forehead?
Do you remember “The Measure of a Man” episode from Star Trek: Next Generation? Strange New Worlds is holding their own courtroom melodrama. Pike looks for a lawyer as Commander Una Chin-Riley is put on trial. What is natural? What is unnatural? Are those concepts inherently good or bad? Is that a bald Vulcan?? Discuss these serious and silly questions with Jim and A.Ron on this episode of Baldly Go.
In this special episode, linguist David J. Peterson helps listeners with their body art needs (wanna tattoo in Dothraki?). Also included is a short excerpt of what's going on over at Double Dragon this week.
Don your fedora and grab your whip, Jim and A.Ron are adventuring into Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. You’ll recognize many of these actors from other beloved franchises. The score will transport you to the venturesome, treasure-rich world of Indiana Jones. Catch some fun facts including the reason why Sean Connery wasn’t wearing pants during filming part of the time. And check out the Indiana Jones themed home bar build from Arcade Shenanigans. Thank you to Bill for commissioning this episode!
Jason Cabassi names his top four GoT episodes and we choose one of these to cover on the first ever "Rushmore Reboot." Joining the conversation of season 5, episode 8 is historian Danielle Alesi, Comedian Steve Ausburne, and author Anthony Le Donne.
A bond is a strong attraction. Do you remember what it’s like to be in a budding romance? Jesse searches for signals from his satellite and from Jane while Skyler gets her signals in a new (old) job and a cracked picture frame. Your hosts discuss the significance of these developing bonds, explore the lore…
This is the cigar-chomping, Bloodwine-drinking version of Star Trek we’ve been waiting for. There’s a new riff on the Klingons, Hulk-out juice, and a little-known Star Trek species that finally gets its time in the spotlight. There are a few things to file under “cringe”, but it wouldn’t be Star Trek without the camp.
This movie poses the question, “How do we feel about vigilante justice?” Carl Lee Hailey, played by Samuel L. Jackson, faces trial for taking revenge on the men who brutalized his young daughter. The movie treads multiple fine lines about race, justice, and hatred in America. Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, and Donald Sutherland round out the cast in this time capsule of Hollywood’s take on justice in 1996. Does it still work?
There are SPOILERS ahead. Get the scoop on what Jim and A.Ron are watching behind the scenes. Ted Lasso season 3 has character arcs, surprises, and letdowns. Silo, the current puzzle box obsession, is deviating from its original series. What does that mean for the TV show?
Everytime Gretchen makes an appearance on Breaking Bad, one of the Bald Move guys makes an appearance on GDT. A. Ron joins Pete and Courtney to discuss S2E06 "Peekaboo." Saved by an ATM and a "rich girl just adding to her millions," Jesse and Walt both get off the hook from dealing with matters they'd really rather not. Things don't go as well for the Three Spooges, though. Mr. Spooge, in particular, is delivered a crushing blow. Join Pete, Courtney, and A. Ron as they discuss this memorable episode.
Welcome to the new podcast Baldly Go! This pod will cover all things Star Trek starting with the highly anticipated season two of Strange New Worlds. Can the world of Star Trek be redeemed from the folly of recent years? What new characters and old enemies will we meet at the edges of the galaxy? Get a breakdown of all those moments in the trailer and what that could mean.
Look out, Theon! That's not Esgred, that's your sister! Dr. Thomas Leek (Univ. of Wisconsin) joins for a robust discussion of Theon, Asha Greyjoy, and Ironborn culture.
Tentacles, spiders, and flying bugs. Oh my! When a mysterious mist rolls into town, a group of people trapped in a grocery store come into conflict with the dangerous creatures outside and the growing tension inside. Sounds crazy? Sure is! But we had plenty of parts of this movie that we really liked. Aside from a bit of the good old horror movie stupidity, it’s an engaging movie. Director Frank Darabont created a new ending that made Stephen King himself jealous, so yeah, it’s pretty dark.
Do you know how many times Jesse calls Walt by his first name? You can count the number of times on one hand, so when he does, it is a big deal. Join Courtney and Pete as they take a deeper look at all the things that break in S02E05 “Breakage.” Hank, like his home-brewed Schraederbrau, threatens to explode and things come to a breaking point with Walt and Skyler.

Spider-Man is back in all of his web-swinging glory! As a sequel to the animation-pioneering 2018 movie, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse delivers on all the things that made the first movie great and more. There’s heart, creativity, and astounding animation. Maybe all superhero movies should be animated.

Catch some of the details that you might have missed in season 2. Is there more rationale to this show than we think, or are we grasping for straws? The adults don’t feel as relatable as they were in season 1. And certain plot points have been left by the wayside. One listener begs the question; are we as an audience ok?

Lumos! Two brave commissioners have sent a request by owl post for Professors A.Ron and Jim to watch the third (and overall most-loved) Harry Potter movie. Jim cries “stupefy” to get this movie away from him. But A.Ron casts “protego” and defends the movie. Directed by Alfonso Cuarón, who has helmed many decorated dramas, and based on the book series by she-who-must-not-be-named, this movie takes a darker look at the whimsical world of Harry Potter.

The season finale is here and it was a hit and a miss. There were some strong plot choices that we’re looking forward to continuing in the next season. But characters are making choices that seem, well, out of character. The women at Lottie’s compound have some hard decisions to make. Walter continues to be an entertaining enigma. We still don’t know who the pit girl is, but we’re running out of teenagers.

Have you ever felt blue? Jesse Bruce Pinkman gets dyed blue in Down. The Smurf look is a not-so-subtle nod to the rising tensions between Skyler and Walt and the way in which Jesse himself is feeling. It’s pretty clear by this point in the show that Walt can’t keep his mouth shut, and thereby alienates Skyler. Pete and Courtney call into question Walt and Jesse’s belief that they are owed by their own families. Your hosts will sort through the emotional turmoil in the hardest episode of Breaking Bad to watch.

If you’re looking for some niche comedy, listen to the Japanese titles of the Fast and Furious movies. And we have further confirmation that Jim is some sort of sociopath based on the way he dresses.

Take a step back in time to late 80s cinema where hope abounds, it’s a bit schmaltzy, and the sensibilities don’t always hold up. Peter Weir directs a bombastic Robin Williams as Mr. Keating, an eccentric English teacher at a private school. Keating inspires his students to Carpe Diem, push back against authority, and explore the arts. Listen in to Jim and A.Ron as they examine their own experience with the film. And find out who almost got cast as Mr. Keating!

By the end of the episode, Jim is 100% sure that this show is going to reveal supernatural forces. A.Ron keeps it leal (ifykyk) and still defends team science. As the plot thickens in preparation for the season finale next week, we get a look into how the Wilderness is haunting the reunited adult Yellowjackets. It seems that not everyone is going to make it to the next season. Is Lottie a danger to herself and the other women? What is Walter’s end goal? And Jeff, what are you doing?

Courtney and Pete connect the dots of the subtle details in Bit By a Dead Bee. Walt takes notice of a painting that is mundane in appearance, but rich in sub-textual story. The very same painting appears in several episodes across Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. As Walt further traumatizes his family with his “fugue state”, Hank descends on Jesse with an avenging force. Could Walt turn this boat around? What does the painting mean? And will Wendy ever get her root beer?
Get a sneak peek of The Iconography of the Boat in 19th-Century American Painting by Gerald Eager here.

Bald Move is rereleasing this very special pod in honor of the 40th anniversary of Return of the Jedi! Tune in and chill out to a very special episode from the Bald Move archive.
Once again commissioner Fernando Rodriguez (you may better know him as FernNYC17 on our forums) steps up with a choice selection, this time the oft maligned Return of the Jedi. Often dismissed as derivative or childish when compared to A New Hope or The Empire Strikes Back respectively, we have nothing but love for the climax of the story of Skywalker. It’s got the best space battle, the best lightsabre battle, and the best puppets in all of Star Wars. The Special Edition changes? Not so much love.
Note: This podcast was recorded out of order because we needed a live podcast we could do that was accessible and at least semi-family friendly for the Rocket City Nerd Con.

In the wilderness, Shauna’s baby woes ended in the simplest way, but it’s sure to cause a schism between Lottie’s followers and the non-believers. In the present, the team is back together at Lottie’s cult (ahem) wellness center. Did the mysterious darkness bring them together? Or has it been inside of them all along? And what weirdness does Matt have going on downstairs?

IMDB really picked a gem of an AIRWOLF episode for us this week! David Carridine? A sorta/quasi showdown with an evil Airwolf? A fiery redhead last seen doing cow math on Knight Rider? Some nice character work between Dom and String? This episode has it all, along with some terrific helicopter action sequences and pulse pounding synth holding it all together. Pure nostalgic bliss!

Rachel Bloom stars as Rebecca Bunch, a high-powered lawyer from NYC who moves to LA to rekindle an old flame. Each episode features at least two original musical numbers. It’s relatable and funny in the way it discusses mental health. Though it was one of the lowest rated shows on TV, it kept getting renewed and currently has a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s fair to say that it’s aged well.
Check out Rachel’s sensual, sci-fi song.

On the second half of this season of Mr. Feeny, we’re checking out the BEST episodes of the series we’ve already seen, and this week we’re taking a second look at A-Team’s “Deadly Maneuvers”! Seems like everybody wants an arch nemesis to square off against in the 80s, and this week the A-Team is met with a B-Team assembled from the personals section of Soldier of Fortune magazine by a corrupt consortium of rich dicks who are sick of the A-Teams meddling in their affairs. You’ll never guess, but Mr. T is once more laid low by drinking milk. I pity the fool who doesn’t got milk!

Randy gets dragged back into the mess. Callie lies to the cops. And Lottie mines Nat’s mind for the answer to Travis’ note. Back in the woods, Javi isn’t speaking (annoying) and Lottie’s influence on the group grows. It’s hard to tell if the rituals have an actual effect. And the burning question, what will happen to this wilderness baby?

Fifty years ago, Paul Newman and Robert Redford reunited for The Sting! Redford plays a small-time grifter, but there’s nothing small-time about this movie. Newman and Redford orchestrate a con on cantankerous crime boss, Doyle Lonnegan, played by Robert Shaw. This story will show you a good time and pull the rug out from under your feet. Still not convinced to give it a shot? This movie won 7 Oscars! How about that?

The voyage of Star Trek: Picard comes to an end. The series had the best of episodes, and the worst of episodes. But Jim and A.Ron say this finale stuck the landing. The return of the entire cast was a good burst of nostalgia and the perfect way to end the show for those diehard Trek Heads. Though the journey may end here for Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Jim and A.Ron speculate on the future storylines of some of these newer characters.

On the second half of this season of Mr. Feeny, we’re checking out the BEST episodes of the series we’ve already seen, and this week we take a second look at MACGYVER’s “The Widowmaker”, and give Jim his second crack at MR. FEENY this season! This is the episode that cements Murdock as an arch-nemesis for Mac, and we love that for him. But we’re not sure there’s enough “MacGyvering” to be had in what’s supposed to be the top episode, and we, like his close friends, missed MacGyver’s smile. Of course when I say we, I meant the gen-xers on the podcast, because our resident millennial loved the darker, more somber take.

The Misty and Walter storyline is taking a cute turn. It’s also taking a dark turn. Such is the nature of Yellowjackets. As the mysteries pile up, Jim finds some theories he likes. And A.Ron makes a play for some future Internet points. What darkness is hiding behind the beautiful blue eyes of Elijah Wood? And find out about the plot point that Jim considers an intellectual affront.

What’s something you do for fun? Now ask yourself, would you have even more fun if it was ILLEGAL? If your answer is yes, then you and Walter White have something in common. The Heisenberg hat makes a debut, which further reinforces the emerging persona. As Jesse and Walt wade into more dangerous waters, Pete and Courtney have some questions for you to consider. Does intention matter? How far can rationalizing go? And when would you ever need a baby tiara?

Tetris (2023) satisfies the nostalgia you feel about the classic game. But it will ignore your desire for historical accuracy. Taron Egerton stars as American businessman Henk Rogers. Rogers makes it his mission to bring this exciting, addictive game to the world. The game’s creator is Alexi Pajitnov, a citizen of the Soviet Union. Can Henk and Alexi defy communism, survive car chases, and let freedom ring?! Like we said, it’s not 100% true to life.
Spoilers for Tetris begin at:

Nic Cage terrorizes innocents as the notorious Dracula. And the other Nic, Nicholas Hoult, is a delightful balance as Renfield, his familiar. Awkwafina and Shoreh Aghdasloo round out the cast as they bring comedy and gravitas respectively to this cult classic in the making. It has violence, laughs, and a meaningful metaphor. Sink your teeth into this First Run Bald Movie.
Next First Run movie will be Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. III!

In the previous episode, The Mandalorian gave us a nuanced look at the consciousness of droids. In this episode, Grogu pilots a droid carcass like a mech. The horror! But that’s not the only scary thing. An old enemy sOmEhOw returns, the Double F’s have to steer this ship to line up with Episode 9, and Michael Jordan’s tequila is expensive! But one question remains, who are the spies?

Steve McQueen plays Jake Holman, an engineer on the gunboat USS San Pablo. The year is 1927 and the ship is stationed in China. The geopolitical landscape of the country is nearly unrecognizable compared to today. It’s worth considering what this movie is trying to say about nationalism, colonialism, and racism. All the hot-button “isms”! As you can guess, there are parts of this film that definitely did not age well. Come experience McQueen in yet another rebellious role.

On the second half of this season of Mr. Feeny, we’re checking out the BEST episodes of the series we’ve already seen, starting with The Dukes of Hazzard’s S04E023, “Bad Day in Hazzard”. In this one, the Duke family and the forces of Boss Hogg are held at gunpoint as part of a daring scheme to steal millions from the US Treasury. Will Jay find the heel/face team up interesting, or will the Dukes much of a muchness wear thin?

The identity of the Antler Queen is still a mystery, but maybe not for long. Misty and Randy get up to some hijinks involving a Dremel and Fanta. That makes for light comedy compared to laying Jackie’s bones to rest. As Tai continues to sleepwalk, Jim and A.Ron wonder how many versions of Tai are within her mind. And finally, what we’re all wondering; will they eat Coach before he wastes away to nothing?

Who was Heisenberg? No, not Walt’s alter ego. Who was Werner Heisenberg? And what are the parallels between him and Walt? As Walt emotionally pulls away from his family, he starts to bond with Jesse. For a man who claims to be risk-averse, Walt is very comfortable making dangerous bluffs. Hank certainly thinks he’s the smartest man in the room, so why was Walt able to fly under the radar for so long? Want to see these dichotomies play out for yourself? Pete and Courtney say this episode makes for a great rewatch.

Our latest 80s action show selection was inspired by Jay’s hazy hotel memories of once being entertained by this show. Jay regrets this pick almost immediately, but A.Ron has flashbacks to the bitter disappointment of a misspent youth where he allowed himself to get excited for a live action superhero show on network TV. Intergenerational bonding is what we’re all about on this podcast, so we help each other through the deep hurting that is watching the adventures of Mr. Hinkley and his super powered special ed class.

The Dukes of Hazzard in a very entertaining show that is unfortunately buried underneath multiple layers of Daughters of the Confederacy obfuscation and Hollywood writing room ignorance. Good looking guys and gals tear-assing around the countryside in a classic American muscle car clowning on corrupt law enforcement all while fighting for justice and the underprivileged. What’s not to like? Wait, they’re calling that car the General what now? And what’s that on its roof? Oh. Ah. Okay. Hear us out. We have a plan to save the Duke boys from themselves!

There’s a lot of history between these characters and this season hits the ground running.

Walt’s cancer becomes a family affair as Skyler and Marie search for medical attention. Hank tells Walt that he’ll take care of Skyler and Walter Jr., and predictably, Walt gives him a withering look. Though seemingly benign, there are actions taken in this episode that have big consequences later down the line. Just like the cancer in his own body, Walt becomes a destructive and unyielding force.

This week we take a look at Big Dick Anderson’s Magnum Opus, MacGyver. MacGyver was James Bond with Bill Nye the Science Guy sensibilities, and when Jim heard he was the subject of our next Feeny, he had to join. This is a great introduction to the character and his schtick, as Mac has to travel to an underground bunker that has suffered a catastrophic bombing, and now threatens to leak powerful acids into the local water table. It’s up to Mac, with a busted pair of binocs, some chocolate bars, a gram or two of pure sodium, and a few cold capsules to save the day. As a bonus, I tell the tale of how MacGyver nearly blinded a kid back in the third grade!

The quality of Star Trek: Picard is holding on this season. There are more conspiracy theories that go right to the top. Jack Crusher turns into John Wick. And A.Ron would like the record to reflect that he called the appearance of Ro Laren. Utopia doesn’t exist in this iteration of Star Trek, but at least this season is decent despite some odd dialogue.

Martin Scorsese, one of the most influential living directors, guides Robert DeNiro through a creepy performance. Even though these two are reliable artists of the silver screen, this movie is a miss. It’s a vaguely Hitchcockian movie with a whole list of “wtf?” moments. Who is this movie made for? Not sure. Who is A.Ron’s ‘Nick Nolte’ impression for? Everyone.

Courtney explores the significance of coin flips and choices and considers to what extent they are catalysts for Walt’s transformation. Was it a random act of fate that the task of killing Krazy-8 fell to him? When Skyler flips a coin in “Cornered,” why doesn’t she follow it across the Colorado border? The decisions the characters make can sometimes put them on bad choice roads.

Boy, these shows really loved their feature length pilots, didn’t they? This week’s shadowy flight takes Jay and A.Ron into the world of a real man’s: Stringfellow Hawke. Stoic, heroic, traumatized war vet, appreciator of fine wine and finer art, musically gifted, philosophically complicated, mysterious and irresistible to women, stunt pilot by day and mercenary pilot by night. It’s A LOT. Airwolf is still badass, the villain is campy fun, Archangel is cool as coolwhip in his ice cream suit and patchglasses, but nearly every scene without a helicopter is deader than Gaddafi, who may or may not appear in this episode. Btw, did you know you can like, die, just by staying outside too long? It’s TRUE!

Ever decide something with a coin flip? Walt and Jesse did. And that brings us to question the role of fate in the lives of these characters: Was Walt always Heisenberg? Or did he have to become Heisenberg? Looking back, there’s a lot bubbling under the surface of these characters.

Pete goes back to revisit the Pilot episode one more time to examine why it’s one of the best ever made. In 58 minutes it tells us everything we need to know about Walter White and is extremely effective at making us root for him. This is a great set up for Vince Gilligan’s larger plan to deliver a story about change.

This season of The Mandalorian is wasting no time on sidequests. There’s action and fun for the whole family. And this episode raises some interesting questions. Who is the title referring to? How would a Mandalorian helmet work for Grogu? Which droid history is correct? And Jim makes some end of season predictions.

This is not the same Star Trek that Gene Roddenberry envisioned, but there are some things to enjoy about this episode. There are some old school TNG vibes. Worf is the GOAT of the series. There’s a plot twist Jim and A.Ron didn’t see coming and Picard is getting his swear on.

Robert DeNiro, playing bounty hunter Jack Walsh, chases down a man called “The Duke”. What is supposed to be an easy grab quickly deteriorates into a messy, action-packed cross-country road trip. With both the mob and the FBI on his tail, Jack must get The Duke from New York to Los Angeles in a matter of days. You can listen to Danny Elfman’s Midnight Run score on Spotify.

If you weren’t already convinced that Bella Ramsey is the perfect pick for Ellie, this episode will change your mind. As painful as it was to watch this episode the first time, it’s even creepier on a second watch. Grab a bowl of munchies, maybe somebody’s dad, and enjoy this episode of Savage Starlight!

We’re back for season two, where we’ll be sampling from the very best of 80s action television as we watch the pilots where all these stories begin. This week, we’re with the A-Team, who from what we gather are an elite team of special forces con-men, as they attempt to run a mercenary co-op with a side hustle of Hollywood studio backlot misadventures. Things get a little rough in patches, but the theme song is rad and Mr. T is still awesome.

In honor of its 25th anniversary of being released, we’re rereleasing our episode on The Big Lebowski!
This podcast was commissioned by Michael Johnston for his main main Dave in Philly, and what a podcast it is. Jim and I have the sheer delight of watching the sublime Coen Brothers’ 1998 film, The Big Lebowski. One of the forerunners of the “slacker noir” genre, Lebowski is hugely entertaining and surprisingly deep film. We talk about Jeff Bridges magic, new shit coming to light, try to figure out Maude, gush about the late, great, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, the downfall of bowling, and much, much more.
So thanks once again to Michael and Dave, for giving us an excuse to really drink this film in. If you’d like to commission your very own podcast, check out our Commission a Podcast page to find out!

- Missionary Impossible
- The Andorlorian

Picard delivers a good episode! Between Picard’s new family members, Worf’s one-liners, and the weak medical practices, this episode has lots to unpack. When you’re dealing with a show with decades of history and plot twists both cool and nonsensical, it provides great theory fodder. In addition to their usual commentary, Jim and A.Ron have a theory crafting session that will have you laughing.

Hollywood heartthrob Michael B. Jordan both stars in and directs the newest Creed movie. It’s the ninth movie in the Rocky series and the opponents just keep getting more ripped. Jonathan Majors, fresh from his Marvel body-building boot camp, steps into the ring to challenge Creed. This movie has heart, camp, and a daring fight. Put on your gloves and check out Creed III with Jim and A.Ron.

Days of Thunder is the semi-dramatic car-racing cousin of Talladega Nights. Director Tony Scott has helmed other high caliber projects such as Top Gun and Crimson Tide. It’s written by Robert Towne who penned Chinatown and Mission Impossible 1 and 2. So why did this movie turn out to be silly? Well, it could be the relationship between Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise. Maybe it’s Michael Rookers’ lack of caution with his brain bleed. Whatever it was, it didn’t stop Robert Ebert from breaking the ethos of Tom Cruise down to a science.

In this DLC (downloadable content for the non-gamers) episode we get a close look at Ellie’s past and her relationship with Riley. Jim and A.Ron ponder the questions, “Would this have been better as a Christmas episode?” and “Why did it take so long for the infected to hear them?”. This was the calm before the storm. You’ll be wishing for more wonders as this season starts wrapping up and we have to say goodbye.

You get what you see in the trailer with this movie, and that’s a good thing. The big, messy gore will entertain you, you sick individual. The cast will have you saying, “Hey, I recognize them!” every couple of minutes. And it’s all based on a true story from the 1980s! So, maybe this is technically a historical drama? Club members, you’ll get the strangest and most hilarious play by play for this crazy-fun movie.

Picard is in denial about a major personal discovery. Raffi goes rogue for better or worse. The deflector dish looks oddly familiar. What’s the deal with Shaw? Is Beverly a warlord?

Jack Nicholson, already 20 years into his career, stars as a patient in a mental institution. Nurse Ratched, a sick and twisted caregiver, rules the ward. A young Danny DeVito will impress you. The movie itself will gaslight you. And the treatment of the mentally ill will horrify you, but it’s not the 21st century, so it’s expected.

Come in and hang out for a casual chat on what other video games would make good adaptations, where A.Ron hid his Metallica albums as a teen, and how Jim and A.Ron would cast themselves in the MCU. Looking for fun past lunches? Look for the ones with the wildest titles.

Scott Lang aka Ant-Man is back, and wouldn’t you know it, his daughter is a freaky genius like every other teenager in the MCU. After her invention sucks the Pym family into the Quantum Realm, they have to figure out how to survive a place with more crazy rules than your DnD manual. Jim wasn’t impressed, but A.Ron had fun, so it’s a lively discussion.
Come back next week for Cocaine Bear!

Jim and A.Ron put their science hats on to answer your questions and come up with some head canons where answers are lacking. Can bloaters have a midlife crisis? Do practical effects save money?

This movie stars Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Andy Garcia, Robert De Niro, and Patricia Clarkson in Al Capone’s Prohibition Era Chicago. The story is based on the memoirs of Eliot Ness, an American Prohibition agent bent on taking down Al Capone. Though Costner leads, Connery steals the show. This is one of the movies with iconic lines that you’ve heard, but aren’t sure where they’re from.

In under 90 minutes, this movie manages to offend, stupefy, and disturb. You’ll laugh, but not for the reasons the writers want you to. Sylvester Stallone stars in this movie, and was supposedly tricked into the role. You can check out the Schwarzenegger-Stallone Rivalry in this wild Wikipedia page. It’s worth noting that one of the three writers of this movie is Blake Snyder. Snyder is the author of the best-selling screenwriting book, Save The Cat. So keep that in mind before you drop money on this while we’re already dealing with inflation.
Thanks Dr. DeVito for commissioning this strange, strange movie!
And stay tuned for upcoming Bald Move Badass plans at the end of the episode!

Henry and Sam join Joel and Ellie in their hazardous adventure out of Kansas City. Pursued by Kathleen and her troops, the four make their way out of the city dodging dangers they have not yet encountered. Weta Workshop, of Lord of the Rings fame, helped create the nightmares in this episode. And between the touching and heart-wrenching moments, we get a Savage Starlight appearance!

Lunchtime! Get a sneak peak of the success of the Groundhog Day stream before the full debrief. Are there any Canadian listeners willing to send Jim and A.Ron a bag of ketchup flavored Doritos? They’re curious what they’ll taste like and your favorite hosts will eat them on air. And listen in on a brainstorm session for what a “Greatest Franchise of All Time” podcast would be like. And the consensus is that the Breaking Bad/PopCorners commercial was pretty good.

You’ve probably heard people say “Rosebud”, but have no idea what they’re talking about. Jim and A.Ron are here to enlighten you. Orson Welles, as a 24 year old, co-wrote, directed, and starred in this bastion of American cinema. It’s an impressive jump for Welles to go from terrifying the nation with his fictional alien broadcasts to creating one of the best movies ever made.

After the love story interlude of last week, we’re back with Joel and Ellie in their dangerous, cross-country bonding adventure. The real threats? People and coffee addiction.

In a gutsy, unorthodox call, Commissioner Dustin selected Superbowl 52 as the subject for a podcast. Since Jim has a well known antipathy towards all things sports related, and with the Commish’s permission, I tapped my buddy Jesse from the WHY IS MR. FEENY A CAR?! podcast to be my second string podcast host. We watched the game together, and then got together to talk FOOTBALL! Warning to all my friends from Boston and the greater New England area. Please don’t listen to this podcast. We both loath the Patriots franchise and take just so many shots at the team, it’s ownership, coaching staff, and most beloved players. There is nothing for you here.

This Hollywood classic is celebrating its 75th anniversary.

Even if you haven’t seen Treasure of the Sierra Madre yet, you’ve seen it referenced in pop culture across the decades. Check out this bastion of The Golden Age with Jim and A.Ron as they give you a behind the scenes look at some of the shady dealings in the making of this film.

Lunchtime! Ever wonder which Marvel characters Jim and A.Ron would do a love scene with? There’s more talk about the future for AI. Aside from the AI art, maybe AI friends will be your social circle of the future. Maybe the same AI friends will replace your real life podcast hosts. Maybe AI will automate the cleaning of public restrooms to take care of any…accidents.

There’s more to this movie than apples. Twenty five years ago, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck debuted as actors and screenwriters. As long as you’re not counting the possible writing expertise of William Goldstein. Robin Williams sheds the manic energy of previous roles and won an Oscar for portraying psychologist Sean Maguire. If you haven’t seen this movie in a while, give it another go because it hits differently each time.

The Last of Us is premiering on HBO soon and Bald Move is dodging clickers and breathing in the fungus to get you coverage. Former GOT cast members Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey star along with appearances from the original video game actors, Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker. With Craig Mazin, creator of Chernobyl, helming this project, this may succeed where The Walking Dead failed us.

Two decades later, Ocean’s Eleven is cemented in as a genre defining film. The star studded cast has everyone’s non-problematic fav, George Clooney. To A.Ron, it’s a near perfect film. To Jim, it’s a great movie, but Julia Roberts is there. If you like memorable one-liners, snappy editing, and wildly entertaining characters, you’ll love this movie and the podcast episode about it.

Special thanks to Elina V., Ryan Q., Mike M., BritBandicoot, Dcaine68, Latent K, TheWilliam85, Jaimie T., Alex M, Geraud DeL, Dmkolls, and Dplowery. With that said, this movie is incredible.

It’s exactly what you think it will be, and for some, that’s a good thing! Thirteen years ago, Cameron astonished the world and gave us a cultural phenomenon. Now it’s time to travel back to Pandora and journey with the Na’vi. Even though they’re blue cat-people, the family drama is relatable. Some parts feel copied and pasted from the first movie, but there’s plenty of fun action to distract you from that. Did you bet against Cameron? Did you?!

Paul Thomas Anderson gives us a trippy look into the porn industry in this dark comedy. From hilarious to heartbreaking, this movie will go places you don’t expect. Marky Mark and his manhood become stars, but stardom isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. As these strange characters descend into a world of drugs and abuse, the message of the movie becomes harder to decipher. And A.Ron has some wild, JJ Abram-approved theories about the end of the film.

This is the last installment of Bald Move’s 1899 coverage and we have some answers to big questions! It was nothing like we expected, which means it was exactly what we expected. In the spirit of the creators it was a timey-wimey, mind-bending web that Jim and A.Ron try to untangle for you. Jump in and listen to the theories and remaining questions.
Welcome back survivors to the most loyal podcast to The Walking Dead. You’ve almost made it to the end. The final episode is upon us. This show died the way it lived; it was loud, the fights were over the top, and zombie guts were spilled. Overall, it was a mostly satisfying conclusion to a roller coaster of a series. Rest in piss, The Walking Dead.
As more character backstories are revealed, we get some questions answered. But don’t worry, we still have plenty of questions and theories to discuss. Have these people been experimented on? Are you, the audience, being experimented on? Is the mind a prison? Or is the mind imprisoned? What else floats out there on the vast ocean?
David and John discuss Season 1, Episode 11 of the Star Wars Disney+ show, Andor. After an emotional recap of the events on Ferrix and Coruscant, they discuss one of the hottest topics in the galaxy: do we want a Jedi in Andor, and will we get one? With one episode left the stage is set for an incredible season finale. Finally, David and John answer listener feedback.
Inexplicable. Creepy. Foggy. Bodies keep piling up, factions are formed, and Jim still hasn’t noticed the triangle pupils. Are these vanishing cabinets? Is everyone dead? What happened to these people? We may not know what’s going on, but count us entertained!
Lunchtime! Get an update on Jim and A.Ron’s current favorite games. Turns out, they are very willing and excited about going to war. Since The Walking Dead finale is approaching, we have a recap for you. Jim and A.Ron have Thanksgiving food and advice for you, so don’t come to this lunch hungry! And Jim has an update on his 3D printer. And we’re taking next Friday off to enjoy the long weekend!
A dense fog sits on the water as you stand on the bow of a creaking ship. Footsteps approach from behind! Out of the fog emerges Captain A.Ron and First Mate Jim. They’re here to break down the show 1899 from the creators of Dark. Get a rundown of the characters, overview of the plot of the first two episodes, and a beginning to theory crafting that is sure to get out of hand.
House of the Dragon continues to generate drama even in the interim. Comedian Steve Ausburne and NFL analyst Fran Duffy take Maester Anthony's survey to see if they're leal to HOTD or the original series. Then Anthony talks with various experts on the show and the books.
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, a Roku channel original, was a pleasant surprise. Daniel Radcliffe’s performance is fun and the movie will keep you on your toes. And it’s free with commercials! Donald Glover, the amazing multi-hyphenate, is wrapping up his hit show Atlanta after four decorated seasons. Check out our thoughts in this episode of Off the Clock.
Stop, drop, and roll! This movie is coming in hot. Hollywood stalwarts (and Billy Baldwin) battle with an anthropomorphic fire. But wait, there’s more! There’s a crazed arsonist on the loose. Shoulder your ax and tune in for a somewhat hacky movie that also shows the horrors of being burned to death. Stay tuned for our next prestige episode on Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery next week!
In this episode, we leave the weed farms behind and make our way to the god-fearing land of Detroit: Condom City, where the punch is free and the brainwashing is easy.
David and John adopt their new mantra: “let’s fun!” They discuss the Sicilian legend of the Testa Di Moro and the Greek myth of Daphne and Apollo before breaking down the episode scene by scene. Did Mike White successfully recreate a Monica Vitti scene? Is the show doing a good job of tackling themes of…
Due to popular demand, we decided to cover Andor for you. Disney+ has both delivered and disappointed on the Star Wars front. But could this be the Star Wars shows we have been waiting for? Did Andor push Jim over the edge? Find out in this episode of Off the Clock.
Are you ready to feel old this Christmas? Home Alone 2 is celebrating its 30th anniversary and we are rereleasing the episode to celebrate! In this installment of McAllister McClanemas 2: Christmas Harder, Jim and A.Ron watch LIVE the classic sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, starring the ridiculously cute Macaulay Culkin, as well as a surprise cameo performance from Tim Curry and Rob Schneider.
We're one episode away from the end. Somehow it feels like the show is dragging its feet but in other ways it feels like it's moving too fast for its own good. Join us on the podcast to find out what we thought about the penultimate episode of The Walking Dead!
Steve and Anthony discuss the major differences between book and show in House of the Dragon. Then Anthony previews A Clash of Kings with Katherine Olley, Jason Eberl, and J.J. Hollenback. HT Jason Eberl: Portrait of El Primo.
David and John discuss Season 1, Episode 10 of the Star Wars Disney+ show, Andor. David explains why he shed tears during the prison break and brings in connections with Rogue One. John can’t say enough good about Andy Serkis and Stellan Skarsgard. Overall, the Lorehounds agree this might be the best TV they’ve seen all year.
The awesome presence of Chadwick Boseman is definitely missed, but don’t let that get you too down! Marvel produces yet another gem (or Infinity Stone, ha ha) for their catalog. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is an action-packed movie that also explores delicate levels of grief AND delivers on great CGI. The astounding performances from Angela Bassett, Letitia Wright, and Lupita Nyong’o will have you saying, “Wakanda Forever”! Our next First Run movies will be Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and Avatar: The Way of Water!
David and John explore the history of the Trees of Valinor seen in the prologue to S01E01 of The Rings of Power. The Lorehounds then do a deep dive into the life of Finrod, Galadriel’s brother and her primary motivation in the show. And what in Middle-earth did Meteor Man say to Nori? The guys have some ideas.
House of the Dragon continues to impress with episode 3, "Second of his Name". Join us for the instant take to find out what the "Dance of the Dragons" really means and who Frank Velaryon is.
The depth of Tolkien’s colorful world continues to glow on the screen. We hear fully developed languages, get hints at the evil lurking in the shadows, and see the shining glory of Khazad-dum pre-Balrog rampage. The Bezos Bucks are paying off as sets, costumes, and effects dazzle. It seemed that HOTD and TROP would inevitably go head to head, and so far each is holding their ground.
A.Rondir and Jimafell are joining the fray against the spreading darkness of the Second Age. With gorgeous shots of a younger Middle-Earth and lore up to your eyeballs, we are pleased with this half a billion dollar show. Evil encroaches, romance blooms, and did we mention this show is beautiful?! Are you gonna be a rock and miss out, or are you going to be a boat and watch this show with us?
David and John take the stage on the Bald Move Discord server to give their hot takes on the premiere of the first two episodes of The Rings of Power. Aron joins the Lorehounds to give some of his opening thoughts on the series, and audience questions lead the conversation into some deep lore territory.
Lunchtime! Oktoberfest was a hit for A.Ron and Jim. Live vicariously through this episode to experience the fun and food. But don’t let Jim eat too much, because apparently he cannot belch. When Jim isn’t painting his minis, he and A.Ron have been hitting the gym. Anyone interested in Bald Move sweatbands?
There’s breaking news on the showrunner front for HOTD. With the aged-up characters on the horizon, are you hopeful for more powerhouse actors, or are you going to miss Milly? Ever wonder about the weight of a dragon egg? Once again, we’re discussing that fart again. And get ready for the second installment of the Maester’s Corner with A.Ron and Anthony!
Steve and Anthony discuss the many life lessons from episode 2. Should one marry for an elaborate dollhouse? Should one speak in an interview or just stare down the interviewer? Is it wise to bring a sword to a dragon fight? These topics and more are covered on this week's Double Dragon.
It’s not just a philosophy teacher’s fever dream. Brazil, directed and co-written by Monty Python alum Terry Gilliam, has a lot to say about technology, bureaucracy, and loss of individual freedom between scenes of intestinal air ducts and suits full of sewage. There’s stuff we did and didn’t like, but I think we can all appreciate seeing Jonathan Pryce in one of his few leading roles. Grab your annotated copy of 1984 and settle in for this light sci-fi, absurdist criticism of society.
With viewership growing a bit since the pilot, HBO pulled the trigger and renewed HOTD for a second season! And it’s no surprise because The Rogue Prince gave us an exciting look at a new antagonist, growing tension in the royal family, and a foreshadowing of what is to come. Watch and admire this great television with us in the second installment of HOTD aka “There Are So Many Ways Viserys Could Have Handled This Better”.
David and John have finished their deep dive into the Second Age in preparation for Season 1 of the Rings of Power. Aron joins them to discuss recent news, answer listener feedback and to talk about what’s next for the Lorehounds. BONUS Segment: David interviews Librarian Emeritus Marilyn R. Pukkila about Tolkien’s fellowship with the TCBS.
It’s the same music, but new problems for the royal family. Dragons, crabs, and maggots with medical degrees are becoming a growing problem in Westeros. Already devious ploys for the throne are made, but that’s what we’re all here for, right?!
Off the Clock episodes are going to consist of deep dives from now on. Don’t come to this episode hungry because Jim and A.Ron are talking about The Bear. The prestige drama taking place in a greasy spoon restaurant in Chicago packs a flavorful punch. This show demands your full attention, no background watching, and you won’t regret it. And get a quick preview of Emily the Criminal, Aubrey Plaza’s newest movie.
Lunchtime! Do you like the taste of liquid Ding Dongs? Jim will drink it on air. From this low-brow quandary to the high-brow conversation surrounding the pros and cons of the streaming and binge model, we’ve got a lunch that will satisfy your need for both mindless and mindful content.
A.Ron’s is feeling warm and fuzzy and Jim is feeling pretty much nothing. When you can describe a movie as “erotica for the Twilight crowd”, that is going to attract a very particular audience, and that is A.Ron apparently. As if he weren’t magical enough, Idris Elba stars as a djinn granting Tilda Swinton’s wishes. Jim and A.Ron will be back for more first run coverage for Don’t Worry Darling and Amsterdam!
Princess A.Ron and Lady of the Court Jim are awarding worthy feedback with their favor. Wondering what happens to towns when flying dragons relieve themselves over their roofs? And listen in on the very first Maester’s Corner, a new segment premiering in this episode! Join us to laugh, question, and speculate on the newly born, or ripped out, House of the Dragon.
It Saul over so Alexis and I are here one last time to give voice to the listeners as they say what they show meant to them and judge once and for all which is the better show, Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul.
David and John share their thoughts live on the Bald Move Discord server about the brand new Rings of Power Trailer! Watch the trailer on YouTube here.

Don’t forget to join The Lorehounds for an Instant Talk at 11:15 PM ET on September 1 on the Bald Move Discord server right after the premiere of The Rings of Power!
Hold onto your marbles, the feedback for Westworld Season 4 is in. We’re going over The Good, The Bad and The Questions from all of YOU. We’re putting Nolan and Joy’s Westworld under the microscope and poking a few holes in the season as we continue to try to figure this show out. Is a Season 5 coming? We hope so! Until then…we’re all in the simulation, the world we know it is long gone.
A nuanced character profile on Daemon Targaryen (just based on this first episode). Stand-up comic Steve Ausburne outs himself as a dragon lover. Medievalist Natalie Goodison talks about the dangers of childbirth. Historian Iain MacInnes tells us what medieval folk did with dead bodies.
Join us as we add another Daniel Day Lewis movie to our podcast, Lincoln directed by Steven Spielberg. Lewis’s Oscar-winning performance was surrounded by a killer cast and historical accuracy. Yes, you read that right. Unlike the beloved Gladiator, Lincoln's true to life portrayal takes a look at the titular character without the false bravado and vampires of other movies. Listen in as we dissect this masterclass in playing hate-able and lovable characters, creating authenticity in tone, and what it means to closely adhere to realism.
Westeros has not seen war in decades, and no war has broken out on the Internet about this show. Shocked? We’re not! It was a great episode, but will that continue? We hope so. Be careful if you haven’t read the books as any Internet searches will yield spoilers. And we will give 1,000 internet points to anyone who can prove there is a Lightsaber in the Iron Throne.
This movie checks off the 80s cinema boxes; it has video games and a broken home. The cast is a blast from the past in this feature length advertisement for Nintendo. Take a stroll down nostalgia road with Jim and A.Ron as they discuss a truly powerful message about the power of video games. If you enjoyed The Wizard, there is a 2.5 hour-long cut you can check out!
Thank you to Josh H. for commissioning this episode!
David and John discuss Tolkien’s son and literary executive, Christopher Tolkien, before wrapping up The Second Age and bringing us full circle to The Lord of the Rings. Join us to continue our deep dive into the lore behind Amazon’s upcoming series, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
HOTD is out in the wild and it’s already throwing unexpected curve-balls to lorehounds and theory crafting in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire. Joining A.Ron on this mini-Lore Cast cast to talk about the impact and legitimacy of tonight’s reveals is Kim Renfro, entertainment correspondent for Insider, and the co-host of…
It’s here! It’s finally here! Everyone bow to your newest TV obsession. Welcome to a Westeros where Valyrians are powerful, dragons cover the sky, and your two favorite hosts rule over a new podcast covering more of George R.R. Martin’s extensive mythology. Join us as we share thoughts and hopes for this show from both the hosts and YOU!
David and John discuss today’s wild news that Embracer Group is acquiring the rights to the Lord of the Rings universe! We also give you the details you need to know from Amazon’s flood of Twitter promos that are packed with information. We close the podcast with a walkthrough of the LOTR Appendices: which ones you should read, and which you can skip.
In the distant past of 1990s Earth, the world of For All Mankind wrapped up its third season. With two new showrunners on the horizon and season that was…let’s say a mixed bag, we’ve got feedback with love and distaste for the show. Coverage of season 4 is TBD, so in the meantime, check out more of our Prestige episodes!
Medievalist Brian Pavlac explains the medieval concept of rape, explains why anyone would use a mace or club in battle, and exposes Braveheart's false appeal to "prima nocta." Then Tripp Fuller and Anthony discuss House of the Dragon and Rings of Power.
It's high stakes, high rewards in the series finale of Better Call Saul. Will Jimmy escape the consequences of his actions? Will he come clean and learn from his mistakes? And will Alexis spend her next birthday at Red Lobster? Join us for the podcast to find out the answers to these questions, as well as what we thought of the episode, Saul Gone.
At long last, Steve and Anthony complete the journey they began on Electric Bookaloo over two years ago. Steve's first viewing of "The Iron Throne" is nothing less than astounding. Anthony tries and fails to gather his wits in response. Also, medievalist Brian Pavlac answers a question about dragon legends.
Whether you’re mourning or celebrating this season, tune in for Jim and A.Ron’s lively discussion on the season finale. In the words of Dylan Thomas, we’re asking this show “Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against what this new acquisition might do to you.” If it doesn’t get a season 5, just could consider this show on a recursive loop.
It’s Jim and A.Ron, the real-life people behind the magic of Bald Move with updates for you. If you hear the guys say “The Club”, they’re referring to both the Classic Club and the Patreon Club. Also, there are some plans for new forums, a fun shake-up for Off the Clock, and possible future Club access to the Watch Party archives. And in September, we’ll be looking for volunteers for our Groundhog Day charity event. So keep an eye out!
One of the most talked about shows is premiering soon! Join in as A.Ron gives us and Jim a rundown of his impressions of the pilot of House of the Dragon. OG Game of Thrones fans will find out where in the Westeros lore this show will begin and what is considered canon in the context of HOTD. Need more?

David and John discuss Tolkien’s experience in World War I before looking into the War of the Last Alliance of Men and Elves. Join us to continue our deep dive into the lore behind Amazon’s upcoming series, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Westworld was back, then it wasn’t, but we hope it’s coming back for season five! With questions both answered and unanswered, we’re parsing through the wreckage for new theories and discoveries. Join in and listen to the current understanding of Westworld, you know, before the next season upends all we believe to be true.
With a satisfying conclusion to a rocky season, Jim and A.Ron are here to break down their favorite and not-so-favorite moments of the season finale. A.Ron rescinds his previous “jumped the shark” analysis. With one great scene after another, the conclusion of this season came as an emotional gut punch. After that ending, A.Ron and Jim are looking forward to next season.
Would living for eternity in a heaven inevitably turn into a hell? What’s intentional and what is just a misstep in the writing? Do hosts have real blood? Will Nolan and Joy Jeremy Bearimy their way out of this show? Tune in for these questions and more and perhaps hear your own theory discussed.
Lunchtime! Join in the friendly chat where A.Ron gives a review of King’s Island that is so thorough, it’ll make you nostalgic for RollerCoaster Tycoon. And surprise, surprise, Jim is still working on those models. Would you go to a natural park that lets you practice bushcraft? Like Minecraft in real life? What would you call it? And the House of the Dragon podcast will be FULL coverage and coming soon!
Archeologist Aaron Brummitt joins Anthony to discuss Jon's coming-of-age chapter. Under discussion: would Robb have beheaded Jon had he arrived in Riverrun? Then Anthony talks storytelling with filmmaker J.J. Hollenback.
S06E12 "Waterworks" is the episode of Better Call Saul we've been waiting for. Great final arcs for our favorite characters and events coming to a head are what it's all about. Join us for this mega podcast to talk about everything Waterworks.
Listeners beware, there are spoilers ahead. Like so many all throughout, okay?
From cool, new finds like the movie Prey to an old favorite like Harley Quinn, Jim and A.Ron discuss what they’re been enjoying and confused by.

Medieval historian Iain MacInnes joins Anthony to talk about Castles and King's Landing. Then Steve does his first viewing of "The Bells."
We’re pretty sure the show is messing with us. The answers that Metanoia gave us are confounding a majority of theorizers. As more and more theoretical outcomes are being crossed off of the list, we’re curious to see how this season of Westworld wraps up. Questions about Christina are always interesting, but can we please the notion that there might be horses in the sublime?
Take a walk on the adventurous side as we revisit a staple of classic pulp movies. The dialogue crackles, the visuals stun, and Harrison Ford creates an icon of 20th century cinema. We have the behind-the-scenes of stunts and the story of Lucas and Spielberg’s fateful Hawaii trip. From the rolling boulder to the Ark wiping out the Third Reich, it’s a rip roaring time of good writing, great acting, and a score that soars.
Thank you to Bill Dodd for commissioning this episode!
David and John discuss Tolkien’s influence on modern fantasy before telling the story of the forging of the Rings of Power. Join us to continue our deep dive into the lore behind Amazon’s upcoming series, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Is it way too early for a Season Five preview? Probably. But a few questions linger that warrant consideration: Will's connection to the Upside Down, Hopper's relevancy, and what time is the Pajama Jammi Jam?
The Instant Talk podcast is our aftershow, with our own quick thoughts about the episode followed by an interactive chat discussion with our fans, live on YouTube. The first half is released as the Instant Take podcast. The audio from the interactive section is released as a premium podcast just for our club members.
Lunchtime! Jim gives a model building update. Did you give away your brother’s Pokemon cards without asking? Jim and A.Ron have some advice for you. If you’re looking for show recs, home owning advice, and funny social gaffes? Well, you are in the right place. Next week lunch will be Thursday!
Big Internet points to whoever predicted this episode’s turn of events. We get payoffs, time jumps that make us ask “What happened to Sergei?”, and we get a glimpse at the very real consequences of further automating our businesses and lives. It’s a packed episode and we’re looking forward to the next.
Craving more reasons to throw yourself in an existential crisis? Join Jim and A.Ron as they go through YOUR feedback and theories. Is there something deeper in the tower’s sound pattern? Why print so many Caleb bodies? Westworld is taking us on a journey more satisfying than seasons past, but will they stick the landing?
A.Ron and Anthony talk about the pilot episode of House of the Dragon. Then Tripp Fuller discusses Tyrion's ascension to acting Hand of the King. Check out https://trippfuller.com/
We might be in the minority on this one... but this was not the episode we were hoping for just 2 weeks from the end Better Call Saul. Join us for the podcast while we try to sort out our feelings and justify to ourselves why we feel the way we do.
CHAMPION. CHARISMA. CHARACTER.
This is the last Badass Stream of 2022. Jim and A.Ron revisit their rules, rankings, and results. Are there cracks forming in the faces of Mt. Buffmore? Listen to the Hall of Fame museum layout plans that will be built in Los Angeles 2049 (I hope). Thanks for joining us in our Badass rankings and we’ll see you next year!
Steve and Anthony discuss errant Starbucks coffee cups and misguided appeals to Cersei's better nature. But what could be overlooked in this episode is a stunning and compelling irony: Sansa betrays Jon in order to elevate him. It's a brilliant plot flourish that only Game of Thrones can pull off.
We're back for another round of your feedback. We'll have at least one more of these after the finale so send your feedback in to fam@baldmove.com.
Yes, Westworld S04E06 "Fidelity" contains a ridiculous action scene, but it importantly recontextualizes some of the strange things we saw in previous episodes and serves up plenty of other scenes of interest that more than make this a good episode of Westworld.
David and John discuss Tolkien’s academic career and obsession with language before breaking down the origin story and political factions of the Elves of Middle-earth. Join us to continue our deep dive into the lore behind Amazon’s upcoming series, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
The Instant Talk podcast is our aftershow, with our own quick thoughts about the episode followed by an interactive chat discussion with our fans, live on YouTube. The first half is released as the Instant Take podcast. The audio from the interactive section is released as a premium podcast just for our club members.

Lunchtime! Get the rundown of A.Ron’s adventures in LA at the HOTD premiere and the holy grail of West Coast food, In-N-Out. Is that four-footed dragon logo a marketing ploy or theory-crafting fodder? With some Internet entertainers relying on getting paid for giving good reviews, Jim and A.Ron are proud to say they will talk shit about any show, any day if it’s their honest opinion.
David and John discuss the new trailer from Amazon’s Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power which premiered at San Diego Comic Con. We take you through a shot by shot breakdown with lore details and wild speculation. Watch the trailer on YouTube here.
We're rereleasing our episode on The Lost Boys (1987) in honor of the movie's 35th anniversary!
Special thanks to Saylor from Santa Cruz, the latest Bald Move Fantasy Football champ to claim their prize for winning the league. Emerging from the pile victorious, he has selected the 1997 vampire flick, The Lost Boys. Helmed by Joel Schumacher and chocked equally full of cool and hilarious moments and extremely questionable decisions, the film manages to confound and delight. Why is 16 year old Corey Haim taking baths and being tucked into bed by his mother? Why is there a shirtless oiled up, muscle bound sax player? Why is Rob Lowe gazing seductively from Haim’s bedroom closet, and more importantly, why is Jim completely oblivious to his siren’s call? Is the grandpa a vampire or what? All these questions and more are explored in the depth to which they deserve.
The feels are running high in this episode. Sympathy for Danny? Believe it or not, you’ll feel it! Russians crying over American counterparts? It’ll tug your heartstrings. The eggheads get their badass moments to shine which confirms our personal theory that nerds are cool too.
Wow, this is a bad movie. There's almost nothing redeeming about it. It's not even one of those "so bad it's good" movies. It's not badass, it's just ass. Join us for an hour-long discussion of why this movie doesn't work and whether Dolph Lundgren has what it takes to crack the upper echelons of our badass rankings.
Gather ‘round fleshy humans, we’re going through YOUR feedback and theories. Is this all part of Ford’s scheme? Is the show using the Darth Vader plan? Is there a secret Morse code message in lipstick application? Can hosts anchor themselves in reality the same way humans can? And we have special feedback for our philosophy episode!
Do we see Dany's ultimate outcome foreshadowed? Jan Doolittle Wilson dives deep into one of the most complex chapters of the entire book.
It's Gene Week on Better Call Saul S06E10 "Nippy" which means the entire episode is shot in black and white. However, neither the filming choices or sad sack Gene are able to drain all the color out of this vibrant scam-filled episode.
New House of the Dragon trailer! Then Steve does his first watch of the Long Night (803).
Are we hosts dreaming that we’re human? Or are we humans dreaming that we’re hosts? Dive into the philosophical origins of the title of this episode. Jim comes around to A.Ron’s ascension theory based on evidence from this episode. We get some answers in this episode, but now we have more questions.
David and John discuss the film, tv, and radio adaptations of Tolkien’s work before telling the story of the Fall of Númenor, a tragedy about the power of fear, which will likely be a storyline in The Rings of Power. Join us to continue our deep dive into the lore behind Amazon’s upcoming series, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
Join in on our discussion of YOUR questions and theories. Westworld is hitting its stride in a big way. It felt good to finally get some answers to our burning questions, but now that the door has been kicked down, more questions are flooding in. Charlotte Hale is cementing her place as one of the greatest villains. We’ve done the philosophical research for you in this episode of Watching Westworld with philosopher Aaron Rabinowitz.
Lunchtime! Welcome to the third lunch of the month, aka Bitch Lunch, dedicated to complaining about Amazon, the decline of independent tech stores, and the particulars of Chromebook software. Did you know the future of healthcare is being slingshot to the hospital? While you’re flying your way to the ER, you can high-five the Walmart and Amazon delivery drones dumping stuff no one needs into backyards.
Let’s take a dive into Scorsese’s catalog to a movie with those signature crane shots and quick cuts, but with an extremely low body count. The exploration of love and longing within a rigid world is portrayed by epic performances from Daniel Day Lewis, Michelle Pfieffer, and Winona Ryder and camerawork that speaks as much as the characters. In this odd child of Scorsese’s body of work, you’re sure to find swoon-worthy dialogue, Oscar winning costumes, and a love story with more than what meets the eye. Thank you to The Epic Mouthful for commissioning this podcast!
Nope is the latest film from Jordan Peele, one of the few auteurs of modern cinema. This master of horror created another high-concept social commentary wrapped in exciting set pieces and sprinkled with comedy. Keke Palmer, Daniel Kaluuya, and Steven Yeun shine in a movie with so many twists and turns that the trailers could not spoil it. Looking for a movie that grabs your brain and won’t let go? Check out Nope. We’ll see you soon for our next first run movie, Bullet Train.
What is being brought down? The reputation of the American Government? We’re doing that in this reality too, hey-o! Starting out with opposing views, Jim and A.Ron take you through an episode where not enough shoes drop and the chaos grows. If you feel the need to respond to Jim’s scorching hot take on the cute puppy/irritating noise machine, you can scream at him at jim@baldmove.com about cyber puppy crimes.
How is the sublime capable of simulating the entire earth? Can a heaven become a hell? Has the simulation spread to the entire universe? Is it a tuna melt or a pastrami sandwich?? Are the host marbles symbolic wads of dung??? And Michele Boyd, who plays Temperance Armistice, writes to your favorite hosts. Tune in for answers and laughs with Jim and A.Ron in this feedback episode.
Entertainment reporter Kim Renfro (Insider) is back to cover Sansa's final POV chapter in the first book. For more of my conversation with Kim, do a podcast search for Double Dragon.
Shake those protein drinks because we’re considering new badasses tonight. There are select iconic and soon-to-be-iconic characters in tonight’s potential inductees from Laura Croft to Evelyn Wang. Badasses of days past and movies released in recent memory are ranked by Jim and A.Ron’s special, super serious badass ranking algorithm. Find out who makes the cut in this stream.
We’re discussing feedback for episodes 1-3 of season 3 of For All Mankind. Let us know what we missed, what we got wrong, and bring on those alternate future theories. Jim’s got an interesting one for you: did Yoko Ono kill the inventor of the pop-top can? And yes, there is a tiny bit of evidence to maybe support it. Let us know if you have even more to say about the unintentional villain of the series; the cables! Got feedback? Send us a message at fam@baldmove.com.
Will there be time travel in season four? Will Steve be killed, stuck, or become a vampire? What 1986 song will save Nancy?
You know that fly that’s hanging out on your wall? Yeah, it’s out to get you. Before your eyes cross reading all those theories on Reddit, check out this episode of Watching Westworld as we gear up for watching the rest of season 4! Where do you stand on what makes a human? And listen to the fun facts A.Ron found on the Internet.
Listener beware, there be SPOILERS ahead. Jim’s been blacked out from an episode of The Offer, so he’s probably in a rival family. We want to reach out to Burt Reynolds and console him personally over the bad casting of him in The Offer. Episodic Star Trek is what we needed and A.Ron has some strong opinions on the goings on at the Abbey. From high-ish brow to junk food entertainment, we’re covering the gamut on this episode of OTC.
The season opener sets up a lot of interesting questions about how things have changed in the 7+ years since the end of season 3 and, in true Westworld fashion, who is who and what is real. Join us for our first impressions in the "Instant Take", recorded minutes after watching the episode. And enjoy the subsequent Q&A "Instant Talk" portion of the show if you're a Club Bald Move member.
Anthony gushes about his favorite episode of the season. Steve proposes his theory that every character of the Breakfast Club has a parallel in season four.
Blade Runner turned 40 today and to celebrate, we're re-releasing our podcast from four years ago. Check out The Final Cut of Blade Runner (seriously, it's the better version by far) then join us for the show.
The Thing turns 40 years old today. To celebrate, we're re-releasing our podcast from 2018. Remarkably, the cutting-edge-for-their-time practical effects still hold up, which is more than you can say for most movies of the era. Join us for the show to celebrate The Thing's anniversary.
This is it. The missions to Mars gather enough speed for launch just in time for 1994. How? Well, some shortcuts were taken, some ships repurposed, and perhaps some small bit of nuclear technology was given to the Soviets by a reluctant spy who presumably would have to shave her head completely bald to actually seal the deal with Sergei. Join us for the podcast to hear our thoughts on "All In".
It's a shocking thing to be witness to Herogasm, let me tell you. What's more shocking still is to be witness to Herogasm yet somehow underwhelmed by its depravity. Even though the event itself disappointed, the episode did not. Join us for the podcast for a discussion of what went wrong and what went oh so right.
Professor Elizabeth Renker (OSU) joins the season seven wrap to reflect on Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish. Is he motivated by love, revenge, or both?
Steve and Anthony celebrate the return of Dr. Brenner, discuss the limits to Eleven's powers, and the varieties of SpaghettiOs. We also opine over a few potential plotlines for season 5.
The Westworld season 4 premiere is just a week away so A.Ron and I are back for a preview. Because it's been over two years since the previous season aired, we start off with a discussion of where we left each character, which leads us into discussion of the season 4 trailer. Join us for the preview to get ready for the next season!
Steve and Anthony discuss the implications of Jon and Dany's boatsex. They reflect on Littlefinger's demise and the long-awaited breach of the Wall.
This episode is the highpoint of the season so far and perhaps one of the best of the entire series. Max continues to impress. The shootout scene is thrilling, shocking and effective. Also Steve and Anthony do a deep dive into playground karate and cassette tapes.
Lunchtime! It's the 20th anniversary of Spice World this week and A.Ron is here for it while Jim is dealing with the mother of all air conditioning problems. There's some talk about vacation plans before we get to answering some listener questions.
Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of some weird ass love stories. In a show full of brilliant astronauts and hardcore investors, it’s no wonder that tensions run high. We talk about Harambe, yes the gorilla (RIP) and the office politics that are making their way into space. Many of the characters in this show can be described as a piece of work, but Karen takes the cake.
The satire is hitting close to home. You may feel bad about yourself, but so long as you don’t sleep with Butcher, there is hope for you yet. We’re sensing some red herrings in the mix, who is telling the truth? And place your bets, who will be a smoky corpse or chunky human salsa by the end of the episode?
To mourn the loss of Ned's head, Electric Bookaloo hosts its first fans roundtable. We welcome Alison, Evan, and Tara to talk about one of the most gut-wrenching chapters in GRRM's masterpiece.
Listener beware, there be SPOILERS ahead.
It's a main course of current TV with a dash of novels, both visual and traditional, thrown in for flavor.

Steve and Anthony roll our way through season 4 (episode 2) with discussions of video stores, the amazing acting of Sadie Sink, and breakfast burritos.
Lunchtime! Today’s burning questions: which two actors would make the worst looking baby? And who has the better “hand extended” power, Eleven or Chris Pratt in Jurassic World? One can break spines and the other can calm a velociraptor. But then again, only one has been in interesting projects this year. Perhaps that is the true power. Hang out with us as we chat yard remodeling, favorite streaming platforms, and the popularity of Taco Bell’s Mexican Pizza.
Take a peek into our alternative past, present, and future in the return of For All Mankind. The season is bringing new relationships and piling on the family drama. Are we going to get another land invasion of Mars? How many more wars do we need to fight?! Witness the first wedding in space…and it’s just as cringey as some weddings down here on earth, but more dangerous. But the economy is soaring, so I would like to live in this reality please.
We fell for the cast reunion ploy. It drew us in, it’s not our fault we watched this Tyran-atrocious dinosaur movie. The twinkle in Sam Neill’s eye was squashed by the crush of too many species of dinosaurs. And Chris Pratt is now like that cool guy from high school, he already peaked and now he’s just tired. Listen to A.Ron’s impression of Jeff Goldblum when he’s flirting with a woman, there’s nothing like it. Make sure you’re in the club for our next first run movie: Thor: Love and Thunder.
Homelander is…just the worst. Everyone seems to have some sort of plan, but not telling other people the plan…maybe that’s why it’ll take a whole five years to execute? Butcher is crunching V24 and gearing up for a fight with an opponent that may not be as super as expected. And if you want Jim and A.Ron to believe a character is dead, you better show the corpse. The tools are present to cripple and de-power Homelander, but is it possible?
Is Mirri Maz Duur homicidal? Or is she just misunderstood? Gender studies specialist Jan Doolittle Wilson is back to interpret MMD. Then Anthony reads an email from GRRM's co-author Elio Garcia
This season of Stranger Things brought on the 80s nostalgia and lots of great moments. We have opinions, you have feedback, let’s talk about it! Listen in on Vecna theories, relationship analyses, and your hot takes on your favorite (or least favorite) Stranger Things Season 4 moments. We’re now looking forward to a big, shiny bow to tie up this entire journey in the rest of this season and the next.
Thanks for sending in your feedback! Now that we have the benefit of looking back on the complete series of We Own This City, we have the advantage of looking at this multi-layer problem as a whole. This show offers us viewers a chance to engage with and develop compassion for people we may not share experience with. That is prestige television at its best. And please enjoy the American accent lesson from an informed listener.
The show that took home multiple Baldies is back with an exciting looking season. In this scifi realism, we wonder how the show will tackle how space is viewed in an age of expansion, public and private space exploration, and heroism from different perspectives. Which flaps of the butterfly wings are going to influence life in this space age? Find out with us Friday, June 10th at 3AM EST when the pilot and our first episode drop.
Comic Steve Ausburne talks about the plan to capture a zombie, Sam's frustration with maesters, and Davos' ability to travel very quickly. Then Anthony and Arthur talk over the need for resolution in storytelling.
Lunchtime! Your favorite fashionistas are here to deliver officially unofficial renovation tips, camping stories, and job advice. Who is your dream 90s superstar Avengers casting? Personally, I would like to see Denzel Washington as Iron Man playing opposite Danny DeVito as Thor. And let’s start that commune together. Meet me in the forest and bring toilet paper.
We’re excited to welcome The Boys back. Stormfront has been Anakin-ed after Obi-Wan got the high ground. This show has violence, deception, and childhood trauma in spades in only the way The Boys can. Who is a pawn? Who is the controller? And who's on the chopping block next? Members, grab some chips and a can of chunky human salsa and join us for our Twitch watch party.
This is a stand-alone reaction to season 4, volume 1 (through 7 episodes). We will return to our usual rewatch podcast very soon.
Medievalist Carol Parrish Jamison, author of Chivalry in Westeros: The Knightly Code of A Song of Ice and Fire revisits Bookaloo to discuss the Battle of Whispering Wood
"Off the Clock" is our weekly premium show where we talk about all the TV we've been watching in our free time. One episode per month is also dedicated to discussion of topics voted on by our Patreon supporters. This episode we cover Barry, The Offer, Strange New Worlds, Venom, Veep, Lower Decks, and Fantastic Beasts.
This episode has big portal energy. We got the twist we were hoping for, but it leaves the question: which came first, the Vecna or the egg? We’re getting nervous about those wounds on one of our beloved characters. And we’re gearing up for Hopper’s next superhero-esque move.
With the finale right around the corner, we’re hoping for some surprises. The characters are still in transit, but we feel like they’re building to something big with Eleven’s backstory. While waiting for her powers to return, we’re also anticipating the death of one of our favorite characters, and enjoying Murray and Joyce’s adventures. The Satanic Panic is sweeping up members of the Hellfire Club, so now is not the time to let people know that I play a Tiefling.
Ha! You thought Nina was a person? We totally didn’t. Nope, haha, we always knew. Speaking of never being confused, we’ve got some theories and predictions that we’re holding tight to. We’re witnessing the point of no return and an escape that could only happen in the 80s, nothing to do with Kurt Russell in New York though. And how many modems can you recognize just by the sound? I guarantee it’s more than me, but less than Jim and A.Ron.
The Vecna isn’t the only horrifying thing that you see this season. Shedding the skin of the fun, breezy Stranger Things that we started with a few years ago, this season is going down darker roads. We have to sit with these characters through more adult situations as they try to navigate these with kid solutions. And it is starting to seem that Hopper is likely evolving into a Steven McQueen-esque superhero. Maybe.
David Simon ends his statement in a finale that leaves us both heartbroken and hopeful. The bad guys in blue are behind bars, but that’s not enough. The current broken system will churn out more. Does Jenkins, and people like him, truly realize that they are part of the problem? How far can this situation push until it breaks people like Nicole Steele? It makes us ask the question, what does it mean to truly do good and create a justice system based on rehabilitation and redemption?
Stand-up-comic Steve and Dr. Anthony are back to cover season four of Stranger Things: The Hellfire Club. We dissect the importance of Lucas's hair, the first hints of a trauma theme, and debate Eddie's over-the-top personality
Lunchtime! Happy Friday the 13th! On this Freaky Friday, Jim and A.Ron discuss what they would do if they woke up in each other’s body. Jim is going to eat tide pods, what a friend. Find out the best place to sit when watching a 3D animated movie from. According to Jim, the best place to get brunch waffles is Gabby’s Cafe in Cincinnati. And someone finally asks the question I’ve been wondering for a month, what kind of android is Jim? Turns out he’s ::ERROR::DATA NOT FOUND::, so I’m terrified.
Mathematician Pádraig MacCarron has charted the character relationships in A Song of Ice and Fire. Anthony does his best to keep up. Also, Jon gets a fancy sword. Pádraig also helps to theorize the true identity of Mormont's raven.
Another setup episode has us tapping our foot like a prostitute-loving lawyer on cocaine wondering when we'll get to the good stuff. And it's not that the episode isn't good, it's just that anticipation of Howard's downfall is killing us. But while the Kim and Jimmy plot taketh away, the Lalo plot finally arrives to giveth, with a forehead-slappingly obvious continuation that somehow managed to be a complete surprise. Join us for the podcast to hear our full thoughts.
The magnetic containment unit experienced core meltdown, and the feedback is smoking. With the madness of this season it’s no surprise your feedback covers the gamut from bad borg face effects to the nonsensical character arc closures. What do we want in season three? A full cast reunion sharing a scene together. We don’t want Patrick Stewart to catch covid, but when else are we going to have the chance to see this? Hailing frequencies are going dark. We’re not planning Picard Season 3 episode coverage. But if you want to hear us talk about it, consider supporting us to gain access to our premium Off the Clock episodes.
This show makes us mad, in a good way. We’re getting a wider scope of the issues ingrained in the BPD and the bad police policy implemented decades ago that just kept getting worse over the years. Follow us on our episode breakdown by topic as we dissect the multiple characters, nuances, and layers of this show. One of our deep dives focuses on Hersl and the perverse incentives in this system.
A.Ron, Jim, and Anthony discuss the new House of the Dragon trailer. Then comic Steve Ausburne reacts to Samwell's barf montage and the Ed Sheeran cameo.
Lunchtime! Property Brothers? What about Property Podcasters? A.Ron and Jim talk about the next steps in home renovation and their beef with HOAs. Speaking of HOAs, A.Ron and Jim are creating board games, and my favorite is sneaking around the HOA. It’s the closest I’ll get to owning a house. Would you attend Jurassic Park all expenses paid with a 10% chance of death? Surprisingly, not a tough question for these guys to answer. Tune in for officially unofficial life advice and more on this week’s lunch!

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is more Marvel fare and delivers exactly what you'd expect, but Sam Raimi is in full Raimi form with enough of a twist to keep it interesting. It's just too bad that it's co-protagonist is a MacGuffin. Join us for the podcast to hear our non-spoiler thoughts and what we think about the trailers for upcoming movies then, if you're a club member, stick around for the full spoiler review.
Set phasers to mildly entertained. There were a few good moments sprinkled amongst the madness. Q and Picard’s relationship comes to a somewhat satisfying end with Picard now unshackled from his past decisions. The road getting here was rough, but was it worth the journey? And A.Ron has been cured of Jurati syndrome. Thank you for all the sympathy cards. Picard Season 3 episode by episode coverage is TBD. Who’s looking forward to the reunion next season? Integrity of the magnetic containment unit is deteriorating. Power crystals might last for one final episode. Send in your feedback to picard@baldmove.com.
The Truman Show is an amazing movie that was successful despite its marketing and its star, Jim Carrey, being an unknown dramatic quantity. And as good as it was in 1998, it might be even better today. Join us for a tale of a man who lives in a world of deceit, surveillance, embedded ads and science-fiction-sized wave machines.

Deep Water is a British documentary about a boat race in the late 1960s so maybe you can understand why I thought this pick from commissioner Aaron might be a little dry.

Come with us on a journey to glimpse the elusive creature known as the “Boba Fett”. Together, we will take to the sands of Tatooine, venturing into its natural habitat to catch a sight more rare than a hope chest full of spice. Be sure to gaze upon it only briefly however, for the Boba Fett is a timid and skittish creature which can be easily startled, retreating back into its hiding hole.
