The Untenable Podcast with Mike and Jay
The Untenable Podcast, Episode 25: Ruth Gator-Ginsburg

In this week's extended episode, Mike and Jay veer in and out of movies and gaming talk, often with some unhinged results. First, Jay laments the overall quality of of American Sniper as a film, eats another helping of crow, this time about enjoying the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, eventually recommends some movies from his Netflix queue to Mike, and then revisits some older, overly romanticized movies from his past, ultimately making a statement that is sure to be a controversial statement about a beloved movie franchise. Mike's contributions cover the gamut of gaming of movies, including his reactions to finishing Battlefield 4, and waffling about buying Madden '15. He also trods into movie territory and wonders if Simon Pegg co-writing Star Trek 3 is good or bad for the franchise, and persuades Jay to give Pitch Perfect a chance, considering Mike's recent successful streak with recommendations.

Untenable Podcast, Episode 24: Wrap It, Before You Catch It

In this week's episode, Mike and Jay sit outside to record in their "natural studio recording experience phase" and are exposed to the elements, which annoyingly worsens Jay's fragile immune system in the form of his allergies. Oh, and they also obsess over The Interview yet again as Mike reveals his love of the near war-inducing satire. They also journey into territory about various Oscars snubs and question their relevance, tiptoe around the return of two fan favorites, Community and The Walking Dead, lament the passing of retro phone and communication technologies, spend way too long speculating and complaining about recent gaming experiences and eventually compose Mike's obituary upon learning of his theoretical, someday-it's-bound-to-happen terminal diagnosis.

In this week's episode, Mike and Jay take a roadie to record their expectations and reactions to Paul Thomas Anderson's newest movie, an adaptation of the Thomas Pynchon novel of the same name, Inherent Vice. They also talk gaming, as Jay discusses his experiences with Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.  In between there is also discussion of newer episodes of Marc Maron's WTF Podcast, Jay's initial reaction to The Interview, Mike's concern about the new Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and copious scattered, and scatological references, as per usual.

Untenable Podcast, Episode 22: The All New 'Get Off My Lawn-cast with Mike and Jay'

In this new episode, Mike and Jay vent about some shopping, salesmanship, and moviegoing social faux pas, and then discuss some games on their minds. And speaking of faux pas, Mike and Jay might further alienate listeners based on geography, and they are unapologetic. They also list out some newish old movies and some underrated movies in our lives.
