 024_The One About Pink Floyd | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:52:55

Here it is, the Assemble After Dark episode all about the one of the greatest bands in this universe or any other, Pink Floyd! We tell our Pink Floyd origin stories -- one is more traumatic than the other -- and how the band ultimately shaped us as people. We don't quite go through the entire discography album by album, because if we did that, it'd be the longest show ever! We also do our best to get Taco Bell to pay attention to us.

 023_The One About GODZILLA | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:45:38

Here it is, the Assemble After Dark episode all about the King of Monsters himself, GODZILLA. The guys talk about Ben's long history with the rubber-suited menace as well as digging deep into the character's storied filmography. Fair warning, this episode also contains spoilers for the new Godzilla flick that is currently in theaters, so listen at your own peril. As a special bonus, Ben reveals his plans to purchase the Wu-Tang Clan's new album. Exciting!

Here it is, the Assemble After Dark episode all about Brian Wood and Rebekah Isaacs' fantastic Wildstorm mini-series, DV8: Gods and Monsters. It's a cerebral tale about teens with super powers unleashed on a primitive world where things get all Lord of the Flies pretty quickly. It's dark and exhilarating, and a damn fine way for Wildstorm to close out its existence back in 2010.

(go pre-order from your local comic book shop, kids) Kyle Higgins and Alec Siegel to discuss the greatest live-action interpretation of the beloved Turtles to date. And as you'll see, we don't expect that to change with the upcoming new movie.

 018_The One About Winter Soldier | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:26:08

Professionalism!

 014_The One About Cobra | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:08:36

Here it is, the Assemble After Dark episode all about the cinematic masterpiece, Cobra. Mr. Esposito took the week off, so our very own Abe Raigne joined Ben to talk about the movie that at one time could have been Beverly Hills Cop.
