In a rare team-up Kris, Ryan, and Alex are talking about four albums.  In reality we talk about 3 albums and viciously mock Danzig for a while. Listen as this trio reviews The RZA - Guided ExplorationsThundercat - It Is What It IsLe Butcherettes - DON'T BLEEDDanzig - Sings Elvis

I can't believe it has been this long since we have done a round-up.  Nearly a third of the year has passed and we are just getting to one.  Don't worry, there are more in the hopper, or perhaps do worry, there are more in the hopper. 

Recorded in the doldrums of Winter Alex, TeAngelo, and Ryan are on the scene with three album reviews.  Y'know the thing we've been doing for seven years now. Holy Fuck - DeleterTory Lanez - Chixtape 5Eminem - Music To Be Murdered By

Anytime Alex goes to the bathroom mid-podcast you get extra special mini movie reviews.  Fortunately for all Alex had a bit too much coffee earlier in the year which gave Kris a chance to talk about some of his recent cinema viewings.

It is time for Kris and Alex to do their annual bad albums episode.  I may be getting ahead of myself, but this may be their best selection yet with a mix of apathy, overblown egos, and sheer perfect.  Listen as they reviewEmerson Lake & Palmer - Love BeachLil B - Choices and FlowersViper - You'll Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack

Ever see those Shen-Yun billboards and wonder what the show is actually like?  Well, worry no further because Kris did just that!  Hear about his experience seeing Shen-Yun in this new mini-episode!

It is a new year which means Alex addresses the Riff and Rockverse about how the year went and where we are heading.  Don't worry, it is only 10 minutes long

It's that time of year again!  Kris, Ryan, Teangelo, and Alex are all in the virtual studio giving their hot takes for 2019.
