Matt and I haven’t had a night at the B&B B&B in a little while, so we decided to talk NBA together in an effort to be relevant. We put in our two cents about the Boogie Cousins drama (#freeboogie), wonder about the legacies of the Grizzlies and Clippers, and try to predict which team… Read More Baumann and Burch, Episode 33: And Everyone Hates the Clippers
Welcome to the minute-by-minute podcast devoted to The Incredibles, the 2004 Disney-Pixar film about a family with superpowers. Tim is a high school teacher living in the Southeast. His online writings are mostly about movies and can be found here, at Seeing Things Secondhand. Matt is a grad student and teacher based in the Great… Read More Jawn Voyage – The Incredibles, Minute by Minute
Matt and I return, adding another unnecessary element to the title of the podcast (it’s possibly the B&B B&B Suite now, which is punny and dumb and relates back to the punny, dumb stuff we do), but more importantly biting off more than we can chew. Both of us burrowed back into our little musical… Read More Baumann and Burch, Episode 32: The Kirk, Spock, and McCoy of 2000s Alt-Rock
In this edition of the podcast, Matt and I let our thoughts fly free about Rogue One. We get down and dirty to talk about acceptable terrorism, make a rather tasteless comparison between one character and Oskar Schindler, praise the ability of a cast without a single A-lister, and preview our next podcast, where we’ll find a… Read More Baumann and Burch, Episode 31: I See the Bad Death Star Rising
Welcome back to Grandiose Matt & Tim, where we work out the great American movies of all time. (Click on this link to see not just our top combined scorers, but our perspectives on other films as well.) Not only do we give our perspective on our top scoring films and make some basic tiers,… Read More Baumann and Burch, Episode 30: The Podcast Is Older Than Us (And So Are the Movies)
Matt and I talk about some movies that we really think you need to watch. Find out just how artsy-fartsy Tim can get when he talks about foreign films (made in the countries which were America’s enemies during the middle of the 20th Century, so how’s that for being anti-American), and discover how Matt’s lowbrow… Read More Baumann and Burch, Episode 29: I Like Movies with Lots of Pretty Flowers…Being Crushed by a Giant Pterodactyl
Matt and I finally get down to business to complete a band draft, an idea that’s been near to our heart but far from our podcast for some time now. Taking the helm of four bands apiece – with names from many styles, from Wu-Tang to pirates – we create a positive festival chock full… Read More Baumann and Burch, Episode 28: The Spicy and the Honeys
Today, on this one-year anniversary of Grantland’s demise, Matt and I take to the podcast to discuss what we loved about the site, what we wished had been better, and what we hope to see from its sequel site, The Ringer. In a time when it’s as hard as it ever was to pay people… Read More Baumann and Burch, Episode 27: Halloween in Cambodia
It’s another edition of the B&B B&B, but based on the number of topics we give airtime to, it’s more like three. In our first segment, we discuss TV: The Book, the marvelous Sepinwall/Zoller Seitz joint which gives an authoritative and super readable rundown of great American television. Matt: I was pleasantly surprised by where… Read More Baumann and Burch, Episode 26: British Miniseries and the Worth of Clive Owen
In honor of our twenty-fifth episode, we’ve decided to talk about a famous thing with the number “30” in it. Since 30 for 30s are universally popular, we’ve decided to return to sports and talk about some topics – overwhelmingly, as we’ve found out, from our childhoods – which deserve some press. In this episode,… Read More Baumann and Burch, Episode 25: B&B Presents 25 for 25
