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?!

Need a little something to take your mind off the world? Media Made is back with a brand-new episode!
In this 2007 TV show, Rod & Jess travel back to mid-2000s South Korea to discuss the gender-bending romance drama Coffee Prince. Then, they go back even further to explore the 1960s-set prestige AMC drama Mad Men. There's a lot of mature themes and serious subjects discussed in this one, but we promise it'll be a lot of fun too.
"Killer" by Baby VOX closes segment one.
