- 2.3 - Nobody in 'Godzilla' Was Sexy
  
  Apr 19, 13
  
  The gang does a brief postmorten of their "Demolition Man" commentary. Luke wants to start a revolution but gets sidetracked talking "Spring Breakers" and its subversive gratuitous gratuitousness.
  Michael reviews a movie starring Tom Cruise's ugly cousin. Erstwhile promises not to hurt you with 3D-printed guns.
  
  All this and more, including a new segment: "Science With Adria!" (Today: extinct things and how they relate to Adria's Goldblum crush.)
- 2.2 - Danza vs. Danson
  
  Mar 28, 13
  
  Erstwhile dishes on kettlebell exercises and hangover jogging tips. Adria wants you to go to Mars and stay there. Michael is enchanted by "Pulgasari" (a 1985 monster movie produced by Kim Jong-Il). More nostalgia is waxed as we talk dead TV shows and consider Dennis Rodman's film ouevre.
- 2.1 - The 24 Haircuts of North Korea
  
  Mar 17, 13
  
  Muppet-in-human-form Adria is flummoxed by Dennis Rodman's bromance with Dear Leader's progeny. Michael considers sinkholes much more terrifying than NK's nukes. Erstwhile tries to sway the gang with a theory about how magnets will save us. Everyone declares hipsterism over, then segue into '90s nostalgia that only hipsters can actually understand/appreciate.
  
  THIS WEEK IN CINEMA OBSCURA: "TROLLHUNTER" (2010)
  Michael sizes this one up against other movies of the "found footage" ilk.
  
  ...ALL THIS AND MUCH MORE AWKWARDLY ZANY WACKADOO-NESS. You have been warned.
- #9 - Two Drops on the Water
  
  Dec 12, 12
  
  It's AFB's last podcast of the year (or ever, if the conspiracy loons are right)! In this special extended episode:
  
  Adria insists she'll survive after the apocalypse. (Her secret? The right jewelry.) Luke compares French accents to Posh and Sporty Spice. Michael talks about his favourite Christmas movie and its connection to Twinkies. Muppet-hating Erstwhile dishes on the obscure children's programming that warped his worldview. Everyone is terrified of killer robot insect drone swarms.
  All this and more!
- #8 - Roadies for Panspermia
  
  Nov 21, 12
  
  The AFB gang have a Pro- and Con-metheus chat which quickly hyperdrives into a free-for-all wormhole about science fiction.
  Marcus finds dumb humans amusing, is unimpressed by The Force. Adria hearts Kurt Russell, hates cheesy robot emotions. Michael accidentally alienates all of AFB's deaf listeners (?). Everyone is baffled by Erstwhile's weird sign language.
- #7 - Hipster Guillotines & Crazy Alpha-Bitches
  
  Nov 07, 12
  
  The AFB gang bids a sad farewell to Katie but welcomes Adria to the fold as we talk remakes, reboots, reimaginings, reduxes. Luke misses Reagonomics gore; Michael tries and fails to pronounce "Shia LaBeouf"; Adria talks Kevin Smith's mall lies, Naomi Watts' nipples; Erstwhile shits all over "Argo". Plus, a shout-out to Rody-Oh! Radio, a friend of the podcast.
- #6 - Nobody Cares About Hawkman
  
  Oct 24, 12
  
  Guest comic nerd Max leads a discussion about comic adaptations. Michael talks zombie genre as wish fulfillment; Max relates this to losing his virginity. Erstwhile hearts Swamp Thing, hates squids. Luke ponders the virility of villainy. Antics ensue.
- #5 - Mirror Father Mirror
  
  Oct 09, 12
  
  The gang talk "challenging" (read: boring) films and why we either stick with them or give up. Michael rates "The Master" 3 thetans out of 5. Katie loves camp, hates wankery. Marcus has disturbing notions of what Tuesdays entail. Luke amazes with some insane Disney trivia. Plus: Vesper martinis, awkward silences, and racist cloud atlases.

- #4 - Hey Nonny Nonny
  
  Sep 26, 12
  
  Lend us your ears! The AFB gang gabbeth about Shakespeare. Luke explains how the Bard started it all, including "Star Trek". Katie does a Christopher Walken impression, dishes on channeling Dustin Hoffman. Michael shows off his ability to pronounce words. Marcus respects the cruller, tames the doughnut.
  
  Recommendations: The Atlas Moth, Flying Lotus, "The Invention of the Human" by Harold Bloom, Ralph Fiennes' "Coriolanus", amputee sex

- #3 - Fetid Swamps, Fake Kroegers & 90-Minute Swans
  
  Sep 24, 12
  
  Luke leads a follow-up music discussion and invites a Nickelback lawsuit; Katie talks Gallery Gachet, loves NYC, loathes Bill Murray; Michael grasps the vacuity of a grown man calling himself The Edge; Marcus wants to see John die at the end. More hate than usual; good times had by all.

- #2 - Disco, Helicopter Cats, & Cage Fights with Frankie Muniz
  
  Sep 22, 12
  
  AFB producer Erstwhile fills in for an M.I.A. Luke for all things music: what sucks and why, what rules, and what Canadian band may or may not be connected to 9/11. We insult everyone and everything including #Chavril, the Dutch, Chilean miners, New Orleans and werewolves.
  
  Our music recommendations: Mother Mother, Dan Mangan, the Dreadnoughts, Timber Timbre, Destroyer, Daniel Bélanger, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Chromeo

- #1 - Can't-Con: Wither Watchable Canadiana?
  
  Sep 19, 12
  
  Our pilot episode!
  
  Michael kinda likes "Cosmopolis" better than "The Dark Knight Rises". Katie dishes on horrible audition experiences in Vancouver. Luke is baffled by Bill Clinton's presence at the upcoming Lilith-Fair-but-not-really-Lilith-Fair, and makes inappropriate remarks about Jann Arden (at the host's expense). Marcus talks sketch comedy, "new-prog nightmarishness", and terrible tramp-stamps.
  
  Recommendations: the new Ramones re-issue, "Pontypool", Picnicface, "Incendies", and not getting involved with drummers (or any black-metal musicians of any kind).
