Once again we jump into our time machine and go back to the 80s. This time it's to review the seminal Eddie Murphy concert movie Raw. The episode starts with a ramble through World Cup disappointment, Flea Market disappointment and movie sequel disappointment that we hope doesn't leave you feeling disappointed. Pffffffff. You can get the movie to rent or own at your local Blockbuster: Raw .You should watch it before listening to the review.

Theme music: El Cha Cha Man by Juanitos. Juanitos, led by Juan Naveira, is the single French rock'n'roll and soul band mixing latin soul, exotica, acid jazz, punk, vocal pop and sometimes reggae roots in the Jackie Mittoo style. They are very good.

Our second episode of Season 3 starts with discussions of how to fix a record player, how to make homemade cocktail cherries and a celebration of our burgeoning international fan base.

We kick Season 3 off with a famous prodigy of the Chicago comedy scene and Pete Holmes' offering Silly Silly Fun Boy. Of course we wend our way towards the actual review with initial discussions on painkillers, having a full life and a special call in interview with America's top pyrographer (that's a wood burning artist in laymans terms)!

Are you a BIG fan of the show? Seems unlikely, but if you are you'll enjoy this recap of Season 2 and the cut and thrust of the team trying to gain concensus of which specials were the best and worst of our sophomore slump review season! No need to watch anything before this episode so that's a blessing at least!

After bouncing around the exciting topics of movie marketing strategies, coping with depression and clown paintings we knuckle down to reviewing the 2002 offering Live At The El Rey by comedic guitar maestro Stephen Lynch.

There's no avoiding this so we're going to come right out and say it: This episode reviewing Kumail Nanjiani's special Night Thoughts is 2 hours long. And if you think that is painful to listen to imagine how awful it was recording it! A very long preamble and a 'dishing of the T' as 'the youth' like to say is no excuse. Is 2 hours too long? Only you can decide: Available on Hulu only (yeah, we know) - Night Thoughts. You should watch it before listening to the review.

This week's important discussion covers sports in Las Vegas, sandwiches at White Sox games and Swedish culture. For our comedy special we review what is considered, by many, the yardstick by which all other comedy specials are measured: Richard Pryor, live in Concert (1979). Ooooh! I wonder what they'll say about it? It's a bugger to find but is available to watch for free on Daily Motion: Richard Pryor Live in Concert. You should watch it before listening to the review.
