Tomorrow our intrepid theater grad student Kevin Saunders will undertake a feat unparalleled in his existence. He will stream himself reading ALL of James Joyce’s adaptation of The Odyssey, “Ulysses” live on the Internet. Check out the link below for more details on the event and how you can become a part of it!
Episode 071: What’s in the News, Robin?
For no particular reason we’ve decided to try something *BRAND NEW* on this week’s episode of Bad Philosophy. Kevin and I pulled a few articles and a comic out of the news, grabbed a couple of beers, and dove in to the stories for an hour. What came was something of a nice balance between F-isode and B-isode. We hope you agree! Here are the articles if you’d like to read them first:
1. Neil Patrick Harris expecting twins
2. SubNormality – “Do Something”
3. Beware of fake Facebook ‘dislike’ button
4. Man tries living on coupons for a year
Now that you’re prepared, have a listen!
This Week’s Post-show Song Pimpage: “The Princess Who Saved Herself” by Jonathan Coulton, part of the Many Hands album for Haiti relief. Buy this song or hell, buy the whole album. Haiti might not be in the news cycle anymore, but they still need help rebuilding. Do your part!
Episode 070: The Internet Says No
For the past couple of decades the indomitable Kevin Smith has proudly distinguished himself as a maker of funny, poignant, and outrageously vulgar cinema. We at BF are huge fans of Smith’s work and felt that it was high time to devote an episode of our show to discussing the facets of his genius. Appropriately enough, Kevin Saunders and Kiki Canon joined me for a delightfully self-indulgent frolic through the philosophy of the Askewniverse. So grab a Mooby burger, lean against your local Quick Stop, and have a listen!
This Week’s Post-show Song Pimpage: “Jungle Love” by Morris Day and The Time
Episode 069: Insert Sexual Innuendo Here
Recently the wild and brilliant imagination of Christopher Nolan brought forth a true gem of a movie, Inception. It’s been making good money and getting rave reviews all around, and for good reason. It’s a heady and philosophical and hence right up our rabbit trail. This time Kevin Saunders and Kiki Canon joined me to discuss the film, reality, dreams, and the finer points of top physics. Have a listen to this F-isode for the ages! Oh, and insert some sexual innuendo here. Seriously.

Episode 068: Unfortunate Convenience
After another long and completely unnecessary hiatus, we’re back for another rip-roaring episode! Last week Kevin joined me after returning from his whirlwind theatrical tour of the Czech Republic and greater Eastern Europe. This got us talking about language, culture, music and of course Homestar Runner. Have a listen!
