We have arrived at episode number Fifty! We have recorded (for better or worse) fifty episodes in forty four weeks. Not all of them were good, but then again what really is?

In this episode we cover some hot button topics, such as: Barack Obama's birth certificate, people that fall in love with 2-D animated characters, the upcoming robot revolution, ("Kill all humans!") We also debate the (surprising) outrage with Hogwart's students drinking on screen, then we cap it off with a conversation about the health care reform.

Music this week is by:
Scum of the Earth - "Pornstar Champion"
Joe Satriani - "Surfing with the Alien"
45 Grave - "Partytime (zombie version)"
The Dead Milkmen - "The Thing That Only Eats Hippies"

Thanks everyone, we have hit a milestone episode number and we are at an all time high for downloads! I can't thank you enough for your support! If you keep listening, we'll keep recording!

Hello everyone, welcome to a special episode of "Are You Serious?"    

In this episode I am joined by my wife, El as we discuss the new movie, "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince." We attempt to compare the book to the movie and determine if anything that was left out should have been fit in. We also discuss how the series has progressed, in story, tone, look, feel and technologically behind the scenes.   

As you would expect, Harry Potter is not all that we discuss in the course of the show, but, be warned... if you don't want the movie spoiled, DO NOT LISTEN!        

Music in this episode is from:    
The Misfits - "Witch Hunt"
Rob Zombie - "The One"    
Killer Dwarfs - "We Stand Alone"    

Thanks for listening everyone! We'll see you next week!

Hey everyone, welcome to Episode Forty Seven: "All's I can tell you is I could take on England, but I couldn't take on one heroin addict."          

For some reason, in this episode, we can't seem to agree on ANYTHING!         

That leads to arguments about, "My Sister's Keeper," "I Love You, Beth Cooper," Marshmallow Fluff, True Blood, Sarah Palin, John Ensign, Rick Santorum, the need of a 3:15 a.m. Harry Potter and more.         

Music this week is from:    
Boom Crash Opera - "The Best Thing"    
Richard Cheese - "Longview"    
The Death Riders - "Suffer"    
The Red Hot Chili Peppers - "Nobody Weird Like Me"

In this episode, we discuss some recently seen movies, Frank goes on and on about Weeds (again,) Chris talks about what could only be described as a guaranteed future serial killer, we discuss Michael Jackson, his douche-bag father, a whole lot of other stuff, then we get to feedback.
