Before we begin please let me point out that we talk at length about the movie Birdman. We do get into some spoilers at the 45 minute mark so if you haven’t had the chance to see Birdman please go see it. It’s really good. Then come back and listen until your face melts.

HI! We are into the month of Christ’s birth and what better way to celebrate than a good ol’ fashioned two-fer with Shawn and Earl. This week we get into trailers and the teasers that love them. Star Wars because…why the fuck not and the recent outing of Micheal Keaton in Birdman. We also get into some personal talk about work and the splitting of movies into well… too many movies. In fact, we thought this two-fer was so good we are going to split into two parts because we want more money. Not really, ha ha, non-joke… anyway enjoy the show.

Let it begin… the show now!
