This week, John and Sarah are super sleepy as they get together and talk about the ultimate “Girly Teen Girl” movie, Clueless. We look at the cast, and how those who auditioned were a Who’s Who of 90’s teen movie actors. We also look at how perfect Alicia Silverstone was for the part, how “Rich People” problems are displayed as not that different to “Normal People” problems. We comment on how Cher has her “Priotitties” in order, and how this movie MAY be responsible for the Kardashians.
We also have a few thoughts on the US Open final, the recent hurricane in North Carolina, and a display right at the end as to how sleepy we were…

We also look at how it was made, how these apes imitated horses. And head off on many tangents as well.

This week John and Gregg get together and talk about the generation defining album Nevermind by Nirvana. We look at the background of the album, and how it came to be. We discuss the Nirvana drumming Merry-Go-Round, which saw the band switch drummers at least 4 times between their debut and now. We discuss the importance of a drummer, and give kudos to one of the best drummers we have both worked with. We discuss Kurt’s attitude towards bigots, as well as the talents of the band, and why it holds a place in history it does.
We also talk about the greatest business idea John has ever heard, the upcoming Mr. Rodgers movie, and wish the podcast a happy birthday!

In this special midweek version of the Because Maybe Podcast, John and Gregg sit down and have a natter about Mario Kart for the SNES. They look at the drivers, and how separated they were for the time. We look at how the game in development was not only not a racing game, but not even a Mario game! We also talk about our dream country destinations, and one or 2 stories about house rules for board games. Also a homage of sorts to an underrated cartoon of the 90’s.

This week John is joined by our “Snarky Senior” Tara, as we look at Jurassic Park, the movie that is in John’s opinion, the greatest summer blockbuster of all time. We look at the philosophy of the movie, and the moral dilemmas it produces. We also look at the dinos, how they were made, and how one of the biggest “stars” in the movie, don’t fit in with reality. We also look at the greed, and wonder that the park is set to exploit, as well as how the casting was good, so we didn’t see the actors but the characters.
Also there was a few words about the ghostbusters reboot, the upcoming WWE show that both Tara and I will attend, and a competition for people, to win some free stuff, when the stuff comes online.

*Apologies for John’s Mic Quality, as the cord hooked to his mic finally stopped working*
This week, John is joined by Sarah as we take a look at the foundation, for a worldwide smash hit book series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s (Sorcerer's) Stone. We look at the background of the books, and how J.K. Rowling was the epitome of a starving artist. We show how the books are a lesson in British Classism, as well as how Rowling appears to be influenced by the great Roald Dhal. Sarah has one or 2 words to say about her feelings on Albus Dumbledore, and listen to how more and more threads in later novels were weaved in this book, whether by accident or by design.
We also have news on upcoming episodes, why we’re not reviewing what I wanted to review, and some words on the stupidity of the world that has been happening over the last 7 days.

This week, John is joined by Dexter Duran, as we take a look at The Secret of Monkey Island. We look at the gameplay, and how insulting your opponent was the way of doing things. We look at the characters and see why they were really fleshed out for a game made in 1990. We discuss the theory that this is a game set in the mind of a child, and the subtle clues that lead it to you. We also discuss our own personal love of the game, and why it’s fantastic, and how a circle of inspiration lead to one of the biggest movie franchises of all time.
We also say a few words about the sad death of comic book icon Stan Lee.
