Best Kiss 2011: Double Eclipse of the Heart

00:00 / 1:39:39

Kenny and Ben’s journey through the Twilight Saga hits its peak this week with a twofer as Kristen Stewart gets nominated for kisses with both Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner in Eclipse. Did the right Twilight kiss win? Did the kisses from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, Inception and Black Swan really stand a chance? Kenny and Ben set the record straight while also picking a firm side in the Edward/Jacob debate, strongly clearing up the ambiguous ending of Inception, and not really clearing up the ending of Black Swan. Plus Kenny tells the story from his youth about his struggle to read Deathly Hallows without interruption and a lot of other stuff happens as well. You won’t want to miss it!

Heavy Meddle

The Scooby-Doo Project

00:00 / 1:40:52

On Halloween night, 1999, The Scooby-Doo Project was aired in its entirety once-and only once-on Cartoon Network. A lovingly crafted parody and tribute to The Blair Witch Project, this short film is every bit as scary as it is funny. And now, over 20 years later, Ethan and his guest Chris sat down for an hour and a half to discuss this special at length. (And a bunch of other things too.) It’s Heavy Meddle!

Best Kiss 2009: We're All in Kiss Together

00:00 / 2:19:15

Pass the Golden Popcorn enters its Twilight era- literally -as Kenny and Ben tackle the first of four Twilight films that won Best Kiss at the MTV Movie Awards. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson rule the category during this era with an iron fist (and probably iron lips) but is their debut kiss really better than the kisses in Wanted, Slumdog Millionaire, Milk, I Love You, Man and High School Musical 3? Only our intrepid hosts are brave enough to find out. Discussions of the Mario movie casting news, which half of Slumdog Millionaire is the interesting half, San Francisco, the apparent first meeting of two Brooklyn Nine Nine stars, and so, so, so much High School Musical talk abound! Plus learn the origin story for this podcast! This episode is a major one so get ready to listen because it’s now or never! (Not really though)

S03E09/10 – “Nisei” and “731”

Condensed Truth

S03E09/10 - "Nisei" and "731"

00:00 / 1:30:33

We return to the mytharc well for a stellar two-parter: S03E09 and 10 “Nisei” and “731”. We talk the episode’s namesake and how it fits into Mulder and Scully’s quest, catalog Mulder’s increasingly poor decision making going on, and TRAINS. Scully learns some upsetting news about what happened to her a year ago and Mulder take a train ride. The writers give us an ever expanding scope of the conspiracy, but with two equally plausible stories of what exactly is going on with alien abductions.

Tune in next time as we return to the mytharc and watch S03E12 “War of the Coprophages”, and follow us on Twitter @condensedtruth!
