Season 9 – Episode 8 • Jesus Doesn’t Want Me For A Sunbeam

redux — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 01:26:34 +0000

Some people seem to think that every broken window is a new Holocaust. Well, sometimes the terminology can be forgiven. In other news, some Jewish women seem to think that burkas are the way to go. Warning: This week’s show is dark, but meaningful.

Season 9 – Episode 5 • Come As You Are

redux — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 00:11:43 +0000

Television is our primary topic tonight – how we watch it, why we watch it, when it’s good, whether it’s bad, and what networks are doing to make sure the quality stays as low as possible.

Season 9 – Episode 3 • My Hero

redux — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:30:49 +0000

It’s time to explore what makes a hero. Is it a dedication to the community? A willingness to put others’ well-being above your own? A selfless commitment to a cause or higher ideal? Or the ability to make shameless self-promotion and egotism your priority, and beg your friends to do the same? We’re betting the latter.

Season 9 – Episode 1 • The Full Santorum

redux — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 03:48:48 +0000

After our extremely long summer hiatus, the crew returns from various vacational adventures, including a trip to spooky Mystic, CT. In other news, Steve Jobs’ glorious reign of terror is finally coming to an end, as we celebrate the fall of the Mock Turtleneck Mafia. In our primary distraction, the Republican primary debates were this week, and some of the candidates be crazy. Also, Michelle Bachmann doesn’t want to cure cancer.

Season 8 – Episode 19 • Slight Cough

redux — Fri, 06 May 2011 03:16:02 +0000

To say the world is going to hell in a handbasket is a gross understatement – it’s more like crap in a speedboat. But we don’t want to talk about any of that stuff. You know, the murders, tsunamis, nuclear meltdowns, and pirate sales. Yes, you read that last one right.

Season 8 – Episode 18 • Winning!

redux — Fri, 06 May 2011 03:15:16 +0000

As Charlie Sheen’s tiger-blood filled rants and winning attitude infects us here at Dead Air, we ponder the meaning of success, failure, and goddesses. In other news, the Mo is extremely old and more than a little senile, and Spam is not long for this world.

Season 8 – Episode 12 • The Academy Reach Around

redux — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 12:26:48 +0000

After a number of distractions from the noisiest meal ever eaten on-air, the Mo finally calms down long enough for us to conduct our annual Oscar predictions. Also, Pocket Spam may in fact be the reincarnation of the fourth Doctor Who – which would explain why he looks so much like a hobo.

Season 8 – Episode 9 • Year in Review (2010)

redux — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 21:25:30 +0000

It’s that time again – the death of Father Time and the birth of the illegitimate crack-baby that is 2011 leaves us with the need to reflect. Wikileaks, an oil spill, a lot of disasters, trapped miners, and retroactive rape all made an appearance in this most “meh” of years.

Season 8 – Episode 8 • Dangling the Modifier

redux — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 03:47:26 +0000

Dead Air may have spent more time this episode discussing sports than any previously. Afterward, of course, we make up for it by talking about upcoming movies and a serious but rather extended discussion about Little Spam’s dried, cured meat. The less said, the better.

Season 8 – Episode 1 • Where Were We Then

redux — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 22:16:09 +0000

The only way to truly appreciate where we are is to look back and see where we’ve been. Sadly, the Dead Air crew discovers that there has been frighteningly little growth accomplished in the last two-fifths score years. Well, that and now we can rent cars.
