783. Escape from the Multicurse: 12 Monkeys

Nov 06 2024 60 mins  
Our three co-hosts are stuck in the multiverse and need to get back to their home universe. Clearly, the only way to do that is to explore our cultural obsession with multiverses, alternate timelines and parallel worlds, and tie it all into a conversation about post-modern art, pop culture, and the lessons these stories teach us. Also, each episode, one of them is an asshole who wi

785. Costumes & Cretins: Episode 1

Oct 31 2024 63 mins  
A spooky themed D&D show?! Releasing on Halloween? 10-12 hours of content released for the next 10 weeks?! Small Beans dropping a new show without any warning?!? Michael Swaim wrote a short Dungeons & Dragons campaign for his buds Starline Hodge, Abe Epperson, and David Bell. They basically know as much as you do, so we recorded it and here it is.

Oct 26 2024 72 mins  
Our limited series with co-hosts Abe Epperson and David Bell digs deep into the internet meme of the “dad movie.” We can all probably name a dad movie, but can we isolate the tropes that really make this a bona fide film genre? Let’s find out! Features: Abe Epperson: https://twitter.com/abethemighty David Bell: https://twitter.com/MovieHooligan Support Small Beans and acce

775. Frame Rate: I’m A Virgo

Oct 16 2024 58 mins  
Michael Swaim and Abe Epperson sat down and watched the 7 episodes of the limited series I’m A Virgo, directed by Boots Riley. While the story is about a teen sheltered from the world due to his largeness, it becomes a social commentary about growing up Black in America along with the effects of capitalism on American communities. We talk about the impressive technical feats and

765. Frame Rate: A History of Violence (Feat. Erik Barnes)

Sep 18 2024 61 mins  
Writer/Actor Erik Barnes stops by the proverbial small town diner for some yuks and jabberin’ with the boys. Yes, we know we covered Road to Perdition last time, and yes, this is another early 2000s gangster movie based on a graphic novel about a man trying to hide his past life from his children. We KNOW. We’re doing a thing. Anyway, Erik brings his know-how to the chat and ha
