PODCAST

From The Cheap Seats

Thad Halcli Media, LLC

A Millennial girl and a Gen Xer guy deconstruct the Washington Nationals and the game of MLB baseball generally. Both devotional and irreverent, we blow up the “sports talk” genre with humorous, unapologetic, and shamelessly opinionated baseball news outside the press box, the dugout, and the stadium urinals.

Christmas Unwrapped

2024/12/21

GREAT VIDEO VERSION: https://bit.ly/4fx4R5q No one loves Christmas more than your friends at Scandal Sheet. But that doesn’t mean we can’t explore some obvious historical inconsistencies. Right? For example, why is Christmas celebrated on December 25? Only 2 of the 4 Gospels in the Christian New Testament even discuss the birth of the infant Jesus and neither mentions a date. But they do give us clues that the birthday was more likely in the spring or summer - and not winter. Join co-host Thad (a

“Scariest Movie Ever”? Time Magazine thought so in September of 1999. Hmmm…. Cinematic masterpiece? – or, let’s be honest – marketing masterpiece? Was it one of the greatest Tinseltown hoaxes in history? Or, brilliantly made by Alfred Hitchcock’s ghost? And let’s not forget, it was coronated with the holy waters of Robert Reford’s Sundance Film Festival, where indie filmmakers are born in a manger, under a supernova star, and visited by great Hollywood kings.

AMAZING VIDEO VERSION: https://bit.ly/3ZJBxo6 Oh, NO you didn’t! … uhh, yeah, we did. We take on one of the most controversial, social and movie genre satire films ever made in the Hollywood studio system. 1974’s “Blazing Saddles” is known for its many racial slurs and, almost endless, “socially incorrect” and “un-woke” scenes. But 50 years later, many mainstream media sources are – today - hailing this film as a “pioneering masterpiece of social satire”. Masterpiece? Or, just a steady stream of

Shark attacks are on the rise! Since the 1975 film, “Jaws” broke every box-office record, sharks became America’s favorite, summer terror. While Caribbean/Gulf sharks in New England waters were pure fiction 50 years ago…that is not true today. For the last several years, there has been an explosion of unprecedented shark sightings and attacks in North Atlantic waters. Are these predators truly man-eaters trolling our beaches for a human buffet? Or, are they mostly minding their own business and
