What the heck are they talking about.

We tend to ramble a bit but eventually we get to the second act and even sometimes take it all the way to the final third act. Our thoughts are always relevant but at times maybe a bit like fog used to add a little bit of texture to the interior scene in a film. We invite you to join us in this alternate world of cinema.

What People Are Saying

“a fun lie based on a true story.”
"Greg e Tom hanno colpito nel segno. Non sono sicuro che abbiano l'unghia giusta. Ma sempre un ascolto piacevole"
"Ever since I first heard about this terrific, witty podcast I've been laughing. The next thing I'm going to have to do is actually listen to an episode."
"Even more obscure Sci-Fi from the Alternate earth, not much escapes them but not at all that interested in plot. Tom and Greg excel at mood and vocal style. Like my own novels not to everyone’s taste"

The worse podcast you can listen to "on the road"
