They also discuss Len's INXS/Duran Duran bracket, where Beave considers legal action if "Suicide Blonde" does not win. Beave reviews the new Margo Price album. The Ringer also came out with an article discussing the best acting performances of the 21st century, and Beave and Len talk through their agreements and disagreements.

Wonderful Morgan Gire returns to the pod and we talk the movies of Mr. Val Kilmer. Were you a fan? What films were your favorites? Have you seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang?

Tune in for a freewheeling, fun episode (we absolutely bounced all over the place but had a great time ).

With their backs against the wall, the Cubs take a series at Wrigley from the white-hot Brewers, reverting to their winning ways. The Guardians, meanwhile, stop hitting completely and tumble out of wild card contention. And Colson Montgomery announces himself as the newest White Sox star. The Chicago Sky play out the string and look for consistency, while Beave roots hard for the Golden State Valkyries to sneak into the WNBA playoffs. Plus Beave reviews the new Psychedelic Porn Crumpets LP, Len talks a little John Oliver, Beave discovers the hilarious young comedian Josh Johnson, and much more! Tune in.

Len and Beave discuss the iconic 60s TV series "Batman", and its impact on popular culture even today. They discuss favorite villains, favorite episodes, and ways that the series broke ground during its short three-year run. Tune in for some BAM! THWOK! POW! style banter, especially when Beave picks Eartha Kitt over Julie Newmar!

Throughout this entire recap episode, the genius of Paul Davis, his music and his hair come shining through. When not discussing Mr. Davis, Beave and Len discuss the results of the Billy Squier/Eddie Money Facebook bracket, as well as discuss the Guardians, Cubs, and White Sox (WOULD THE BREWERS PLEASE LOSE A GAME?!??). Plus we discuss the Chicago Sky, the Golden State Valkyries, and the rest of the WNBA. Beave recommends "Vegas: A Memoir of a Dark Season" by John Gregory Dunne.

On an extremely efficient episode of Jagbags, Len and Beave talk through their favorite performances associated with the successful MTV Unplugged series.

They go through their playlists (check out the Smithereens' Unplugged EP), and argue over which concerts were the best. Tune in for MUSICAL AND PODCAST ECONOMY!

The new recap episode is up and we talk "Adults" on Hulu. We recommend Season One completely -- hopefully there will be a Season Two! Len frets about Caleb Williams, the Sky and the Cubs, who are chasing the Brewers in the NL Central (would they PLEASE LOSE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE?!??). Beave bows before the Guardians' Slade Cecconi. Len fills you in on The New Yorker, as he is all caught up, to the Diamond Listeners' delight. The unreleased 1974 Badfinger album "Head First" is the subject of an "I Recommend". Plus Bobby C's A+ albums and Recently Discovered Top 40 Hits. Tune in for an EFFICIENT recap!!!

Len and Beave truly revisit the music of their youth when they talk the music of Billy Squier and Eddie Money! The two artists go up against each other in Len's latest Facebook bracket, and they go through all their (numerous) hits, career arcs, career-ending videos (OK, just one). Who's better? And where do they rank in the 80s pantheon? And why are Len and Beave going off the rails to also discuss Loverboy and Paul Davis? Tune in for some VERY specific 80s jams!
