It's our fifth birthday spectacular! Karl, Jonathan, Jonny, and Stan discuss a wide variety of films ranging from instant classics like The Cobbler and Ant-Man, documentaries about Tig Nataro and James Randi, as well as a slew of horror flicks. On our special second segment we pick and choose our favorite movies of the month! 

We're not bad people, but we made a bad podcast.  Just kidding, this episode is great! Light on hosts, but heavy on great discussion; Andy and Luke sit down and talk about the bitter pill that is Bloodline.   This Netflix exclusive was so divisive, one of our hosts outright refused to finish it!  Why the controversy?  You'll need to tune into this gritty family drama to find out.  After you're done listening to the episode, why not send us an email at syndicatedpodcast@gmail.com or maybe tweet at us @SyndicatedPod?  We'd love to hear from you!

What is the true meaning of Ron's last name? Is a burrito with everything the essence of perfection? Just what the hell is this painting all about? Jessica, Ron, and Stan explore all these questions and more as they wrap their brains around Frida Kahlo's Moses.

The gang finds themselves in the middle of a story with William Hogarth's The Rake's Progress. The third painting in a series of eight (take that Harry Potter!) we find the character Tom Rakewell hanging out in a brothel allowing ruminations upon the worst jobs in the 18th century, pop culture knowledge, and--of course--casting the painting.

It's been a while since the whole crew was together but we are back for this brand new episode of BOP! All five of us have been watching a bunch of movies so in our stuffed first segment we go over Ant-Man, Trainwreck, Inside Out, Throne of Blood, Space Jam, and a whole lot more! Then it's time for Mike's pick for Movie of the Month, Rosemary's Baby! Were we terrified into abstinence, or are we all forming a coven and offering sacrifices to the devil? You'll just have to listen to find out! Be sure to join us again in two weeks for another episode and send in your questions, comments, and concerns to crosstawk@gmail.com. See you then!

A Thousand Words is now a weekly podcast! Now you get 100% more words for no extra charge! And to celebrate, we're doing Thomas Rowlandson's The Exhibition Stare Case. This episode's painting is rated R for images of big old butts. Such scandalous material inspires the gang into uncharted territories of filth and debauchery!

Sit down, relax, have a drink and listen to the ocean roar as Jessica, Ron, and Stan serve you up a hot, steaming pile of A Thousand Words. Tonight's subject is Edward Hopper's "Soir Bleu," which roughly translates into "Van Gogh and His Clown."

We're back with another BOP and it has a completely different lineup than the last episode! That's right; Karl, Jonny, and Mike couldn't make it so Jon, Stan, and special guest Drew Pocius get together to give Jurassic World a second look, as well as talk about Jaws, Deliverance, While We're Young, Children of Men, and more! Then in our second segment we go over a brand new batch of your listener mail! Be sure to join us again in two weeks when we discuss Mike's pick for Movie of the Month, Rosemary's Baby. See you then!

You've been sentenced to listen to yet another episode of Syndicated, the TV podcast for the lapsed viewer here on Crosstawk.  In this episode, Neal, Nathan and Andy sit down and chat about the first season of Orange is the New Black, the critically acclaimed dramedy from Weeds creator Jenji Kohan. After you're done listening to the episode, why not send us an email at syndicatedpodcast@gmail.com or maybe tweet at us @SyndicatedPod?  We'd love to hear from you!   And don't forget that Syndicated now has a dedicated RSS feed for those of you who like that kind of thing.

Hi, folks, and welcome back to another episode of BOP! This time, Stan, Mike and Jon couldn’t make it, so we enlisted our good buddy and fellow Crosstawk host, Zach Miller, to join us. Zach’s an expert on all things dino, which is appropriate, because we kick the show off with a big discussion on Jurassic World before getting into films like Inside Out, Me & Earl & The Dying Girl and Dope. Then, in the second segment, Jonny and Karl discuss our pick for Movie of the Month: Bonnie and Clyde. Was the 1967 counterculture film a hit with us, or did we leave it bleeding out on the highway? You’ll have to listen in to find out!   Next episode will feature Post Office Poison, so please send your comments, questions and concerns to us via email (crosstawk@gmail.com), Twitter (@crosstawk) or in the comments section on the site. Thanks for listening - we’ll see you in two weeks!

After a much-needed vacation, the gang is back with a painting so famous, you might actually recognize it! Stan didn't, but what he doesn't know could fill all the books. This week's target is The Swing by actual 18th century artist, Jean- Honoré Fragonard.

Hey folks! BOP is back after a successful CrossCon and we're here to bring you a bunch of new movies to talk about. Karl, Jon, Jonny, and Mike get together to discuss Love and Mercy, Slow West, White God, Tale of Princess Kaguya, Johnny Depp in the 90s, and more! Then in our second segment we get into another batch of your listener mail. Want to ask the crew something? Send in your thoughts, questions, and concerns to crosstawk@gmail.com or on Twitter (@crosstawk). Be sure to return in two weeks when we discuss Karl's next pick for Movie of the Month, Bonnie and Clyde!

Hello everyone, and welcome to a very speical episode of Box Office Poison, recorded during Cross-Con 2015 in Nashville, TN. The guys all got together and recorded this side by side, giving you super-fresh reviews of Tomorrowland, Mad Max: Fury Road and more before getting into some special-edition listener mail concerning the nature of being offended, gut-busting laughter and movie trailers. And to keep this monster under two hours, there's even a lightning-quick review of the Movie of the Month, The Good the Bad the Weird. Be sure to listen in next month when the group discusses Bonnie & Clyde. And if you have any comments, questions or concerns for BOP, please let us know via email (crosstawk@gmail.com), Twitter (@crosstawk) and in the comments section on the website. Thanks for listening!

As part of the CrossCon celebration, today's episode is a recording of Jessica's community radio show Friday Night Drama on WRFN (http://www.radiofreenashville.org/). This is a two-parter.

We're taking a break from our standard format to cover a single episode; the May 17, 2015 series finale of Mad Men: "Person to Person".   Andy, Luke, and Nathan are joined by Kelly to talk about our thoughts, theories, and reactions to the episode, the final episode of one of our favorite shows of all time.     As promised before, we'll be back next time with our take on Orange is the New Black, a Netflix exclusive. Look for that epsiode in a few weeks.  In the meantime, send us an email or a tweet.   The other big news is that Syndicated now has it's own dedicated podcast feed.  You can continue to find us on the standard Crosstawk feed, but we are also now available as a stand-alone podcast.  You can subscribe using this feed: http://www.crosstawk.com/storage/syndicated.xml or searching for Syndicated in the podcast player of your choice.   Follow us on Twitter at @SyndicatedPod and send us listener email to syndicatedpodcast@gmail.com.

We're coming right up on Memorial Day, which means it's time for the crew of Box Office Poison to meet up for our annual "Cross Con," in which we drink, we eat and we generally go a little nuts while keeping the mic on for your listening pleasure. And to continue last year's tradition, we've held the episode of Rough Draught for a full year, now debuting it just before we get together and record the next episode. This time, we grabbed mostly beers brewed in the Midwest, which was appropriate, since we were all in Chicago to enjoy the City of Broad Shoulders. This included: - 5 Rabbit Huitzi- Solemn Oath Wreckage Master- Deschutes Class of '88- Lagunitas Sucks (Brown Shugga Replacement Ale)- Revolution Deep Woods Series: Straight Jacket Barleywine Have a question for us to answer on the next episode of Rough Draught? Let us know via email (crosstawk@gmail.com), Twitter (@crosstawk) or in the comments section on the site. After all, you'll only have to wait a year! Thanks for listening!

Time for another A Thousand Words! This time our wordsmiths are gonna go back in time to the Stone Age by Victor M. Vasnetsov and compare it to The Justice League, discuss proper defense against bears, and tie it all up in a Communist bow.
