In this week's episode I "pay homage" to a much better, far more popular podcast by highlighting some of my favorite hard rock covers.  Also, the usual half-a$$ed movie reviews, including 'No Country for Old Men' and 'Beowulf.'

For your listening pleasure, a special all music with very little of me talking episode with a holiday theme.  Take it with you to work, in the car, to a party, or just listen to it at home for a spooktacular time.  Because, like Charlie Brown, sometimes you just gotta rock.

In another epically long episode, I am joined by my best friend Mary, as we try to answer tough questions about love and relationships submitted by friends of my blog. Does size really matter? How do you tell your significant other they need mental help? And what's up with this polyamory sh*t? Find out!

It's almost Halloween, so what better way to start celebrating than by talking about ghost stories? We'll talk about a few notable haunted house movies, plus I'll share a couple spooky stories of my own.  Also, a capsule review of 'The Darjeeling Limited,' and I taste-test a holiday-themed soda.

Turn the lights down low and break out the fine cham-pan-yay, because here's a collection of songs that are just perfect for some bed-shakin', booty-smackin' action. There's also some trivia, a few special messages of love, a capsule review of 'Eastern Promises,' and the usual rambling bullsh*t you've come to expect.

Dedicated to the memory of CBGB founder Hilly Kristal, who passed away late last month, this week's episode features the memorable acts and music that made CBGB one of the most important performance venues in rock history.

Now that my brief sabbatical has ended, we're going to take a look at serial killers in the movies, including a very special tribute to an very special underrated villain.

Freeing myself from the burden of coming up with original content, on this week's episodes friends of the podcast and my blog submit rants about both little and big things that make life occasionally crappy.  Also, a new installment of the Reading Room, and another brush with B-list greatness.

Presenting the second half of my showcase on women in rock, not to mention my thoughts on 'Pirates of the Caribbean 3,' ranting about a trip to the zoo, and an unpopular opinion about a popular singer.  I fully expect to alienate a good third of my audience!

In the first of a two-part episode, we're taking a look at women in rock, without all the man-bashing and crappy folk music.  For your comfort and safety, 'Fergalicious' will not appear in either episode.

Also, some thoughts of 'Spiderman 3,' and my brush with B-movie greatness.
