Listen to This!: Kylie Minogue “Aphrodite”

Trying something a little new, especially since The Hodgepodge Podcast now has a Facebook Page (be sure to Like us over there if you haven’t already – Thanks!). While driving around today, Kylie Minogue‘s fantastic 2010 song “Aphrodite” popped up on my iPod from her album of the same name and I decided to start sharing videos for songs that the Hodgepodge are fans of. Y’know kind of expand our “Listen to This” series. So, check out Kylie’s best song of the last 13 years easily, “Aphrodite.” – Doug Continue reading

EPISODE 88: The Best and Worst Films of Summer 2015!

The Hodgepodge Podcast is two years old! And with that dubious anniversary comes our Third Annual Best and Worst Films of the Summer lists! This year, Doug and Dirty A changed things up a little bit. Instead of their three best and three worst each, they have provided their FIVE best films and one worst. This was due to the fact that they largely avoided many of the worst-reviewed films of the summer and they had to limit their lists to what they actually saw. Take a listen and for those of you who have been with us over these last two years, thanks for listening!

Doug Reviews: American Ultra

AmUltra_-PosterImagine Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne character, but as a stoner and you’ve pretty much got the premise of Director Nima Mourizadeh’s American Ultra. However, the film falters when it can’t decide if it wants to be a funny Bourne Identity or a straight up spoof like Spy. Continue reading

Doug Reviews: The Gift
