We've got a rare return bout here at Media Made!
In this 2009 Music episode, progressive metal legends Dream Theater once again square off with pop sensation Kelly Clarkson. And to give these two acts all the time to shine, Rod & Jess are talking more songs than they would in a standard show!
First, they look back at essentially Dream Theater's entire Black Clouds & Silver Linings album (as if they had a choice, given that it only features six songs.) Then, they examine an extra-big portion of Kelly Clarkson's pop renaissance, All I Ever Wanted. Get comfy, because this is going to be a long one!

The festivities kick off with a discussion about Quentin Tarantino's explosive World War II epic Inglourious Basterds. And the action doesn't stop there, as we move on to JJ Abrams' flashy and fun Star Trek reboot. Which one of these heavy-hitters will we name the better film of 2009?

Media Made is going back to 90s, and we're bringing some friends along!
Welcome to Earth, 1996. It was a big year in pop culture. Blockbuster movies were everywhere, classic cartoon characters were entering their renaissance, and a little game console called the Nintendo 64 was hitting store shelves.
Rod & Jess are joined this month by Gooey and McKenna, hosts of the Flashback 64 podcast, to look back at the two 1996 movies that most invaded THEIR lives. We kick off the festivities with conversation about Roland Emmerich's disaster movie classic, Independence Day. Then, we slam and jam with the 90s' craziest crossover film, Space Jam.

After a string of massively long shows, Media Made is back with something short and sweet.

First, they check back in on web-based production house Rooster Teeth and discuss their promotional machinima series Supreme Surrender. Then, they sing the praises of the TNT's action crime dramedy Leverage. Big wigs and fat cats beware!

Media Made kicks off the New Year with our 2008 Movies show!
Continuing the trend of chick flick - dude movie double features, Rod & Jess look back at two very different features. First, they talk wedding horror stories and romantic woes as they relate to the Katherine Heigl rom com 27 Dresses. Then, they examine perhaps the greatest superhero film of all time, The Dark Knight, with a conversation that rivals the actual movie in length. Are you ready?!

What's this?! A sort-of holiday episode of Media Made?
In this 2007 Bonus podcast, hosts Rod & Jess are joined by their good friend Eileen (AKA Cousin) to discuss the movie and album from that year that most invaded her life. First, we partake in the (uncomfortable) family comedy film Dan in Real Life. Then, we look back at Linkin Park's era-defining record Minutes to Midnight.
We hope you enjoy this holiday gift from your pals at Media Made. We'll be back to our normal schedule of shows in the New Year!
