Caves are dark pits holding strange secrets, like mosquitoes frozen in brown-ish yellow stuff. Extinction be damned, science requires the answer! Can humanity resurrect long dead creatures? Mike thinks Jurassic Park series (movie and book) have already given us the answer. Put down that woolly mammoth mouse into your Juicy Couture handbag and grab a seat at the corner of Nostalgia and Reality with the two Hosts of Banter Banter, Ma...

To address the heat, Mike & Manny go about throwing some ideas out there to see if they'll survive the heat. From walking through caves, to hitting the far north & south, the Banter hosts are hard set on keeping their sleeves long and their noses zinked. Grab a cool drink, some shades and a sun hat. Its a scorcher!

Banter Banter - Ep163 - Western Wares


After sailing the high seas, Manny and Mike find themselves looking at artwork and different views on it. There is a misunderstanding from the western, or more specifically American, viewpoint regarding drawn stories. Anime is not the same as cartoons and we need to accept the responsibility of checking the content before giving it to kids. The Banter Boys get on a soapbox about violence vs....

It turns out the free ports are now becoming more tempting as we all run out of ways to keep out locally purchased pieces of media. Mike & Manny look into creating a perspective from a couple of old boomers who still use plastic discs to listen to stuff and watch or play things. With no way to easily pay their corpo overlords for the media, they want to watch when there's no more internet. Guess its time to make those back...

In this no fangled country, we have gotten to look at various iterations of ol' pop on the television. From the times when you could come to dad for anything and he'd know just how to fix your troubles, we've come along way. Father's have become the most pitiable idiots and then gone all mopey. Let the Banter Bois figure it out for you.

There's a little something about nostalgia. Thinking back and looking at the things we enjoyed with rose tinted glasses. Sometimes that isn't the case. Sometimes, we have to look at the things we liked and cringe.

We all know Mike hates DST, but maybe that's blinded him to the history. Will Manny's attempts to bring his Banter host back count as anything? Maybe if he has an extra hour, he might be able to.
