“Voodoo Child” is a graphic novel created by Nicolas Cage and his son Weston. It’s about a biracial superhero crusading against cajun demons and a government conspiracy in post-Katrina New Orleans. It’s also completely ridiculous and almost impossible to follow. Please join us as we discuss snake-hair, sexy accordionists, and richard branson’s sex life. PS […]

Read more "014 — Chariots of the Gods (w/ Centa Schumacher)"This is a long one. It’s a long one about a mystery novel written by Bill O’Reilly. And it guest-stars Jeb Lund.
