BIRD PROTOCOL

Ayo! What's good homies?! We're sorry that we missed a week!! We've been busy building our empire but we're back now and doing a crazy sick movie this week. We're talking about what is possibly the best war film of the past 10 years... definitely in the Top 5 war films of all time and a masterpiece of cinema... Christopher Nolan's "Dunkirk".  Unanimously praised. Incredible to watch. A heater...

Yo! It's another episode of BP! Today is PALMREADER's birthday so make sure to say "Happy Birthday" to the dude before you listen to this episode. This week we're talking about David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin's 2010 movie about the weird, somewhat insufferable, insensitive genius boy turned evil social media mogul Mark "the ZUCC" Zuckerberg and the creation of that site where your aunt posts anti-v...

My friends... Dinner is served.  This week we're talking about Bryan Fuller's ghoulish, hella freaky and hauntingly beautiful TV series about an FBI profiler and his psychologist/serial killer/cannibal friend, "Hannibal". It is easily of the better horror/thriller TV shows of the past decade and it's a real shame it only lasted for three seasons. "But for real, boys", you may ask, "how many t...

Ayo! This week is a bit of a doozy but it's worth the listen. We're on here talking about one of our favourite rap groups... the uncompromising, politically charged, insanely skilled and always entertaining Run The Jewels. This is a long episode and quite the journey. Prepare your mind for a wave of nonsense.  In this pod, we talk about the history of the group, summarize and chat about the u...

Wanna join a cult? Ok. Maybe get possessed, absolutely smash your head off of a desk and become the vessel for one of the Luciferian lords of Hell? Cool. How about cutting the head off a pigeon and carrying it around for a while? Nice. How about a seance? Check. Expecting a happy ending? Not likely.  This week we're talking about a masterclass horror film and a modern classic, Ari Aster's dar...

We're back! We've been on a bit of hiatus due to Coronavirus but now we're back in the studio (safe and socially distanced) and doing our damn thing again. I know we didn't get the Westworld Season 1 pod out to y'all but it is on our radar still. Instead, this week we're talking about the 2019 Guy Ritchie flick "The Gentlemen" and his body of work.  "The Gentlemen" is a return to form for Guy...

Yo! This week we're talking about the incredible band Poison The Well. Have you heard them? Yes? Cool. Then you know what the hell we're talking about. No? Go listen right now... 'Cause they are sick.  This band has influenced both of us individually as artists and the band we shared a few years back. They are metalcore titans, super groovy, and, at times, very experimental. This episode has...

Yo! This week we're talking about Richard Linklater, his films and cinematic style and, more specifically, a film that may have flown under your radar... "Everybody Wants Some!!".  This week we discuss country bars, 90's "reality" style films, deconstructing masculinity, why his films are problematic but it's ok in context (which is specifically important to think about when dealing with art)...

Hey hey hey! This week we talk about Tarantino's ninth film, "Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood". There's a lot to unpack here.  Great scenes, great quotable dialogue and surprising humour. Plus... that LAST ACT is insane. We talk about how this film deviates from the Tarantino style but still hits all the high notes and how it explores different genres, we explore our Tarantino best-of lists,...

Hey hey! This week Otis and PALMREADER talk about one of the underrated gems of this decade, "Deepwater Horizon", and how much this movie kicks ass. Mark Whalberg vs. THE OIL, BABY! You know what the f*ck is going on here and if you don't, you should definitely watch this movie!  This is a film we both really love for tons of reasons, some that may surprise you, and in our opinion has stood t...

This week we talk about Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman" but instead of doing research we just podcasted right after we saw it with our buddy Kieran. This is self-pretty explanatory but every month we are going to do a "first impressions" episode like this one, sometimes with one of our friends, instead of talking about something we've seen and heard a bunch.  So it might be a bit less organi...

YO! This week on BP we talk about Rage Against The Machine and why they RULE. Lots of us imitating riffs and bass licks with our mouths this week. We also discuss Nu-Metal, hiring hitmen and Stray From The Path amongst a few other things. PALMREADER tells a story about breaking a guy's nose by accident when he was sixteen. Great.  Next week is a special "first impressions" episode where Otis...

Hey friends! We are so very happy to present the first episode of BIRD PROTOCOL... the podcast where Otis Morris and PALMREADER ramble about movies/music/tv/whatever! It's a pop-culture podcast... I guess?? We basically just talk shit. Otis and PALMREADER met studying film and have since been in multiple musical projects together. They love to riff on stuff we like so it seemed logical to make it...
