Cracking Foundation is back, baby! In this episode, we talk about potential incest, being trapped inside plot devices, and what happens when mothers are younger than their daughters.

The Streaming Heap ·

2023/07/10

In this special episode of Cracking Foundation--I mean, The Streaming Heap--Eric and Lin have taken to YouTube to do a livestream discussing the upcoming second season of Apple's Foundation. We recap season 1, recap our thoughts both good and bad, and we discuss the trailers and released information about season 2 (not too spoilery, though). As we did for season 1, Eric tries not to spoil the books and Lin has not read them, so don't worry too much about that sort of

43 - Silo, ep. 9 (plus MCU stuff)

The Streaming Heap ·

2023/06/26

In this episode of The Streaming Heap, Lin and Eric definitely don't talk about the Titanic submersible but instead discuss the penultimate episode of Silo's first season. First, though, they get some MCU talk out of the way by discussing Secret Invasion and, at long last, Guardians of the Galaxy 3.

The Streaming Heap ·

2023/06/20

In this revealing episode of The Streaming Heap, Lin and Eric discuss how Juliette continues to survive her Kool-Aid Man approach to problem solving. But first, they talk about an obscure YouTube channel, a Seth Rogan series, and of course, The Flash. (P.S. I tried my best in the edit, but there were technical issues during recording, so this episode might sound glitchier than normal.)

2023/06/12

In this episode of The Streaming Heap, we answer the age-old question of what Juliette, the Kool-Aid Man, and Trump all have in common. First, though, we discuss (and spoil) a few random Netflix movies, Renfield, and why Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is better than you think.

2023/06/02

In this short(er) episode of the Streaming Heap, a very awake Eric and a very sleepy Lin discuss the latest episode of Silo, "The Relic," which is not actually about Eric being an old man but rather about Juliette trying to uncover what happened to George only to discover that he might have been a big of a dawg. Come for the commentary, stay for the stupid jokes that go on too long. THIS WEEK'S HEAP 05:01 Silo, episode 6 E-mail feedback to thestreamingheap@outlook.com Support

38 - Silo, ep. 3: "The Machine"

The Streaming Heap ·

2023/05/15

In this episode of Silo, a fan blade is fixed in the most tense way possible. Juliette is afraid of drowning, so she drowns her sorrows, but with a raging hangover the next day, she learns she's up for the job of sheriff while her beloved generator threatens to spin off its axis, leaving the whole silo in the dark. Before Lin and Eric can talk about that, though, they discuss the new Zelda game (no spoilers) and the second season of Star Wars: Visions. Lin also has a little rant about A.I. WHAT

In this episode of The Streaming Heap, Lin and Eric get to discuss the latest dystopian show from Apple: SILO, based on the best-selling trilogy of novels by Hugh Howey. Lin talks about how great it would be to live in a silo while Eric does his best to focus on the optimistic side of being cautiously optimistic about a new series. Does Rebecca Ferguson make for a good heroine? Can Storyteller Lin explain what's happening? And can Eric pronounce the name David Oyelowo? You'll have to listen

36 - Everything Everywhere All At EEAAO!!!

The Streaming Heap ·

2023/04/10

In this episode of The Streaming Heap, we keep Lin's seratonin levels up by gushing over Everything Everywhere All At Once, the dildo-fighting, hot-dog-groping, raccoon-controlled, butt-plug-powered, heartwarming, nihilistic multiverse movie (about a soul-sucking everything bagel) that somehow won Best Picture at the Oscars. But first, we have to talk about Mario and Dungeons & Dragons, along with Eric's annoying habit of replaying old video games instead of watching anything new. WHAT

2023/03/27

No obvious joke goes unused as we discuss the double-shotter finale of Peripheral, Season 1. Listen as Lin gets increasingly disappointed in this show, and also listen as Eric gets increasingly drunk in order to talk about it. First, though, they discuss Top Gun: Maverick and the second season of Shadow and Bone.

In this penultimate episode of the Peripheral, Conner discovers he's robo-sexual, anime villains square off, Bob slices open his own arm, Flynne gets some answers we should have been given seven episodes ago, Lev tries to turn back the clock on his "nerfification," and somebody shot the sheriff. But before we can talk about that, Eric talks about Smile, we review the Oscars, and Lin keeps saying "EEAAO!" for some reason. WHAT WE'RE WATCHING/PLAYING/READING 03:39

In this episode of the Peripheral, a small-town Southern sheriff uses questionable password protection, the Picketts turn into Bond villains, Tommy keeps going in circles, and Miss Marple shows up in the future to dominate any and all conversation. Meanwhile, Lin tries to pull Eric from the brink following an angry rant about the show's trajectory. Before they can get to that, though, they talk about a weird Japanese movie on Netflix, a weird quasi-historical Japanese video game, the amazing Lucifer

32 - The Peripheral, ep.5: Numbnuts & God Fonts

The Streaming Heap ·

2023/02/27

In today's lengthy episode, Lin and Eric procrastinate on talking about The Peripheral by spending over an hour talking about Super Bowl trailers and the recently announced slate of future films from DC. Then they discuss the episode, where we get a flashback that raises more questions than it answers, a notorious assassin who fails more than he succeeds, and a climactic fight scene that has no impact on anything.

The Streaming Heap ·

2023/02/20

In this episode of The Streaming Heap, two guys spend over an hour talking about how the fourth episode of The Peripheral has too much talking in it. They also discuss shotgun weddings, lost ships at sea, and why Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is superior to Wreck-It-Ralph which is superior to Ready Player One.

The Streaming Heap ·

2023/01/23

We've arrived at the second episode of Peripheral, in which we meet the shiny art deco jacket wearing crime boss Lev, whose explanation of time travel gets on Eric's nerves. Lin does his best to talk his cohost down and they go on to discuss Wish Mercs and Numbnuts. But first, they are forced to talk about Jared Leto and what they've been watching, which includes The Last of Us premiere, The Menu, and The Banshees of Inisherin.

In this post-reboot installment of the Heap, Lin and Eric begin their in-depth, episode-by-episode breakdown, as well as their breakdown of Amazon's The Peripheral. They go too far down the rabbit hole with their theories and ideas, and then they discuss the need for armed revolution, as always. But first, they take a few minutes to talk about James Cameron and Avatar: The Sequel to Avatar.

2023/01/09

To kick off 2023, Lin and Eric have tweaked the podcast yet again, but to start off a newer and even better season of The Streaming Heap, they break down Glass Onion, Rian Johnson's much anticipated sequel to Knives Out. First, though, they discuss a few recent trailers and then launch into a trio of holiday-themed reviews. NOTE: There's some squeaky chair noise on Lin's audio during the "Violent Night" segment. I tried my best to screen it out, and for all I know I succeeded, but I've gotten so
