Xanadu Sq LogoThis week, we are joined by comedian Molly Glover, of Geeks Without God and Fearless Comedy fame! Our subject du jour is one near and dear to our hearts: portrayals of mental illness in film. We go big with the dark comedy in this one!

Our wine pairing for this week is Barone Fini Merlot, which certainly loosened our tongues, as this episode runs a bit longer than most. I assure you, I clipped an hour out of our recording session, and still had 78 minutes remaining. We had so many stories!

Melissa and Romeo

Melissa and Romeo displaying their love of wine and Superman. This is what a typical Xanadu Cinema podcast recording session looks like.

This week, Superman enters our Pleasure Dome! (Wait, that didn’t sound quite right…) Tune in to listen to hear us wax nostalgic about Christopher Reeve and argue about everything else with Man of Opinions, Romeo Azar! Also, you can listen carefully for our fantastic studio audience, Courtney Azar!

Our wine pairing for this week is Rosenblum Cellars’ Stark Raving Malbec, which we found to be very tasty. Or you could also grab a Crispin Classic English Dry Cider if you’re not in the mood for wine, because that’s what Romeo was drinking. Either way, we approve of your beverage choice!

Xanadu Sq LogoThis week, we talk about NAKED PEOPLE! Well, we talk about naked people in the movies. Because nudity is so interesting in an audio format.

Our wine pairing for this week is Louis Jadot Beaujolais Villages, which was partly selected because it’s fun to pronounce “boujolais”. Tasty AND fun!

Xanadu Sq LogoThis week, we bring in our friend, DC Comics artist Christopher Jones, to talk with us about GODZILLA! We chat about the new film, the Japanese franchise, and other kaiju-related things.

Our wine pairing for this week is Bolla Sangiovese di Romagna, because a discussion about giant monsters needs a robust wine offering. However, if you’re more the cider type, Mr. Jones was drinking a Angry Orchard Cinnful Apple Hard Cider during our recording.

Oh, and here’s a .gif of Godzilla’s victory dance, in case you get to that part of the episode and don’t believe us:

Xanadu Sq LogoThis week, we are posting an experiment: our very first Off Topic episode! See, if you’ve listened to any of our other podcasts, you already know we heavily edit our material. A lot of what we talk about gets edited out for time, irrelevance, or just general failure. This episode is crafted from the very best of our random ramblings, which happened while recording all our previous episodes.

Our wine pairing for this week is… whatever you want! By my math, over the course of the snippets heard in this episode, we killed something like 15 bottles of wine, half a bottle of scotch, several bottles of cider and beer, and a tiny bottle of single-serve sake. Grab your favorite bottle of whatever and join us!
