Mike talks of his disappointment in Ryse; disappointment might not be the word he's looking for, perhaps it's underwhelming. He also talks about his excitement for The Order: 1886, and his frustration with how some gaming journalists seem to single out certain games with less than creative or constructive criticism.

In this week's conclusion to  last week's first part episode, Mike and Jay discuss the idea of the Golden Age of Television concept that has been bandied about lately. They also discuss viewing habits and media of film and television. Podcasts also enter the fray and several are discussed,including Jay Mohr's Mohr Stories and Bret Easton Ellis's The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast. They then meander into discussions of social injustices and such. 

And yes, due to Jay's incompetence with setting up the microphone, it seems as if he and Mike are speaking to each other from across the room, and not across the table as they recorded. Please excuse his incompetence for this episode and the last. 

In this week's episode, Mike and Jay take a scattered trip down a convoluted lane littered with discussions about the Wachowskis and some of their work, including The Matrix, Speed Racer, and Jupiter Ascending. Jay also gives his undercooked reaction to Darren Aronofsky's biblical fantasy epic, Noah.

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. 

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 new episode, Mike and Jay vent about some shopping, salesmanship, and moviegoing social faux pas, and then discuss some games on their minds.

In this new episode, Mike and Jay conclude their epic discussions about gaming and fight the resulting fatigue of recording for prolonged periods of time.

Mike then tries to raise Jay's spirits by invoking Limp Bizkit and their handful of decent songs and eventually plot out the holiday themed future eps. The name of Batman is invoked and Mike reveals the level of permeation that the Burton Bat has in Mike's household.

In this week's episode, Mike and Jay are beset on all sides by the inequities of a free sound recording application. Due to the recording app freezing mid recording, an epic discussion of The Walking Dead, Fury, and other points in between was lost.

In this week's episode, Mike responds to Jay's solo cast. And if Mike and Jay weren't such great friends, this could begin a new "East Coast - West Coast" beef not seen since the 90s. Alas, calmer heads prevailed, opinions reinforced, and balance is restored in the Untenable Podcast universe.

In this week’s episode, Jason contemplates the future of the podcast, laments the state of current professional sports, and earns his membership card for the Unpaid Defense Team of several film directors.

In the pilot episode, Mike and Jay muse on the shoddy programming of future tech in the Terminator universe, verify voice recognition systems, and the untenable quality of Cthulu and Rust Cohle.
