In a historic first installment of Album Club!, we trade thoughts about King of Everything by Jinjer. This is a slick album by a highly competent heavy metal band with a powerhouse vocalist, but how did it hit our ears? Some of us have particular tastes in metal, some of us don't have too much of a taste for metal at all, but we all found something to enjoy in this album.

Discussion eventually turns to bigger topics such as genre-elitism, proper vocal technique when sounding like a demon, and neck beards. So sit back, preferably by your living room fireplace on a big comfy armchair, and enjoy episode 1 of Album Club! presented by The Pods We Cast.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood was either one of Tarantino's best or worst films depending on who you ask.

We also discuss the recent business dealings that saw beloved local Ottawa coffee rosters - Bridgehead - being bought-out by a mediocre Toronto coffee chain - Second Cup. We wrap everything up with our music picks and introduce a new segment that you can even get involved with! All of this plus the tangible ramblings you know and love.

The gang has a brief Tesla truck discussion and a philosophical debate on whether Slash is a person or the hat, while Gonzo remains defiant in his refusal to listen to Old Town Road, even for our Grammy discussion segment. Will he crack? Will we go on tangents about batteries? Listen and find out.
