Brainwaves
Hosted by Jason and Barry · EN
Brainwaves is two GenX guys who never quite let go of the good stuff. Jason Reilly and Barry Nixon take the movies, comics, TV shows and cartoons that raised them and drag them, kicking and screaming, into middle age, one pointless debate at a time. How you watch a movie. What's worth owning. The stuff you loved at twelve that you're weirdly still defending at fifty. It's about 20 minutes, it settles nothing, and you'll leave with a laugh, a hot take, and something to argue about.
If you grew up on the good stuff and you're still holding onto it, you're home.

Mar 2400:18:09Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Two Shot Tuesday, we kick things off with a little whiskey, a little celebration, and a St. Patrick’s Day recording that somehow turns into one of our most entertaining conversations yet.We talk about the return of Barry’s beloved Jameson Black Barrel, share some St. Patrick’s Day memories, and get into a few unexpected topics along the way, including Michael B. Jordan celebrating his Oscar with an In-N-Out burger and Barry’s latest 4K collector haul.Somewhere in the middle of it all, Barry reminds me that after a night out recently he told me he loved me… and apparently my response was just to laugh and walk away.It’s another classic Two Shot Tuesday conversation with whiskey, stories, movies, and the kind of moments that seem to happen every time we hit record.
