The Liberal Artists

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! Bodio and Gibby are going to Hell, and Kaylie is more than happy to be their tour guide. They will face the most terrifying torture of all... freelance employment (SFX: Distant screams), emotional moments (SFX: damned sinners wailing), and musical numbers (SFX: loud NOOOOOOO). Abandon all hope ye who download and stream here. Also included: an entire show within a show about College Football. Hey, Lee Corso retired, so someone's gotta pick up the slack!

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! Get ready to do the Macarena, rewind your VHS tapes, and figure out which Spice Girl you are because it’s time to go back to '96 for Episode 96! Gibby, Kaylie, and Bodio all bring a piece of media that believe is the most influential or significant piece from the year... AND DUEL TO THE DEATH- just kidding, they have a lighthearted debate over pieces of nearly 30 year old media… TO THE DEATH. Also included: shockingly thorough discussions about Cracker Ba...

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! Bo and Gibby are back and they're talking about ANIME. And it's not just any anime, it's FLCL! What is that? Good question! What's the story? Beats me! Can you explain anything? Nope! All you need to know is that the Rickenbacker 4001 Bass Guitar has many uses beyond rock and roll. Side note: aliens exist. But just think about the bass and the Vespa instead. Also included: fondue, the subliminal messaging of Ronald McDonald, Microsoft Tech Troubleshooting...

Good morning, afternoon, and eve- SHARK! SHARK! Captain Bodio, First Mate Gibby, and Skipper Kaylie are the only ones who can tackle a 50 year old shark (ignoring the thousands of other podcasts talking about this exact topic)! But how does the original summer blockbuster compare to modern popcorn flicks? What makes it so iconic? And is the shark still broken? Tune in and find out! Also included: embarrassing SFW things to be caught watching, the Marvel Swimsuit Editions in audio format, a st...

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! Get your fireworks out and prepare to lose some fingers because it's almost Independence Day! What better way is there to celebrate the nation's birthday than by watching the movie that reportedly predicted the country's future? (Besides spending time with family, grilling, fireworks, hot dog eating contests...) But how accurate was this silly dystopian farce? Is there any depth to it? And does the guy at Costco really love you? Tune in and find out! Also...

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! The Liberal Artists are hitting the open road for a trip like no other! Join Bodio, Kaylie, Gibby, Thelma, and Louise as they travel across the American south in this classic flick. Along the way, they'll answer big questions like "Is Thelma and Louise queer-coded?" and "Can you really blow up a semi-truck with just a few bullets?" Well, maybe they'll answer one of those questions definitively. Also included: a surprising number of celebrity encounters in...

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! Are you ready for a rockin', rollin', trippy, and terrifying time? No? TOO BAD. Kaylie, Bodio, and Gibby are back in Japan for a cult "classic" musical, Legend of the Stardust Brothers! How can a movie be so funny and so unfunny at the same time? How can songs simultaneously be a bop and a flop? And how does everyone in this movie have dextrocardia?!?! Tune in and find out! Also included: Propane and Propane Accessories.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! If you're on the hunt for classic anime with excellent voice acting, great music, and good vibes, we've got something for you! Join bounty hunters Gibby, Bodio, and Kaylie up in space as they dive into Cowboy Bebop, a series where you can say, "Yes, I actually do like jazz." Also included: the two wolves inside Gibby, the hyphens that divide Gibby, and the treats that drive Gibby.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! Gibby is trapped somewhere in cyberspace, so it's up to Kaylie and Bo to rescue him! Or, y'know, they could watch a terrible, yet awesome, kids movie from the turn of the millennium. It's Digimon: The Movie! If you ever wondered what Pokemon would be like if you had a 150% increase in guns and belts, this is the perfect movie for you. Also included: complaining about Nintendo but being tempted to buy an overpriced console because you can p...

Good morning, afternoon, and evening, Morioh! It’s another beautiful day in our Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town…unless you meet the deadliest serial killer in Morioh's history! Good thing our heroes Bodio (Stand Name: Shoebody Bop), Gibby (Stand Name: Padam Padam), and Kaylie (Stand Name: PoPiPo) are ready to track him down! The crew is talking JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4, the charming slice of life/horrifying murder mystery anime. Is it the best part? Is it the funniest part? And does it have t...

Good morning, afternoon, evening, and night! Endless night! The light of the sun shall no longer reach our fair people, and the children of the night shall reign forevermore...until the Vampire Messiah gets a little tuckered out and needs to sip on that good red god-blood for a couple days. There's plenty of time for Bodio Belmont, Kaylie Renard, and Gibby Tepes to save all of humanity (or at least a couple French hamlets). How does the second season build on the first and the Castlevania Myt...

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! After a hectic first few weeks of March, Kaylie, Gibby, and Bodio are ready to find some peace and go with the “Flow,” the Academy Award winner for Best Animated Feature. It is a beautiful, understated tale about friendship and nature. But is this tranquil story ready for the chaos of The Liberal Artists? Tune in and find out! Also included: Shoebody doo, Stone Cold Steve Austin’s barn cats, Pitch Perfect 3, and so much more!

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! You mission, should you choose to accept it (and there’s really not much of a choice according to Amanda Waller) is to join Gibby, Kaylie, and Bodio as they try to survive watching the two Something Squad movies. They're basically the same...well, that’s not fair to say. One of these movies has The Weasel in it and is therefore superior. But why does one movie work so well and one fail so hard you’d think it was trying to lose money? And how did the bad o...

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome Im Caba- wait, wrong show. What Gibby, Kaylie, and Bodio meant to say was prepare for a spectacular spectacle, one with glitz, glamour, and a serious case of tuberculosis. It’s time for Moulin Rouge, the gateway drug to a career in musical theater! But how does the show get the audience to believe in LOVE and other Bohemian ideals? Can the spectacle survive a jump into a narrative pool that is mere inches in depth? And why i...

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! We’ve got one question for you…Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? There’s no better way to celebrate Oscars Season than with a movie that was nominated for all of them! How does the 1966 film manage to hold up so well? What makes this story so gripping? And how many dollars were added to the swear jar at the end of production? Tune in to find out! Also included: a positively perturbed Oscars rundown, 5 seconds of fair use, Bee Gee's Teapot jams, and more!

Good morning, afternoon, evening…and night! 2025 begins with two terrifying tellings of a tale separated by a century, and only Gibby, Kaylie, and special guest Ian are brave enough to face them! But what is it that makes the original Nosferatu a landmark horror classic, and why does the story still work so well today? Tune in and find out! Also included: Kaylie being unable to pronounce Willem Dafoe correctly. Not included: Ian finally finding a sheep of his own.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! Ready to follow the Yellow Brick Road? Kaylie, Bodio, and Gibby sure are! But before they get to Oz, they've got to hit the books at Shiz University! The trio dives into Wicked, the Broadway smash sensation that's now playing on the silver screen. But how does the new medium change the characters, story, and musical numbers? What works, what doesn't? And why do they keep pausing Defying Gravity?!?!?!? Tune in and find out! Also included: Bo's be...

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! Kaylie, Bodio, and Gibby have each brought a film for this Thanksgiving feast and you'd better believe they are absolutely PERFECT. But what makes a movie perfect? Is it the actors? The writing? Making things explode for real? Or is it all that and more? Tune in and find out! Also included: Adam Driver punching drywall, burping turkeys, The Estate of Benjamin Franklin v. A. "Gibby" Gibson, and so much more!

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! Even after Halloween and an actually scary holiday, Bodio, Gibby, and Kaylie are still down to get spooky! They’re driving down to Fear Street for a 90s, 70s, and (16)60s slasher-extravaganza! Who will survive? What dark secrets will be revealed? And how does that one kid have a reliable internet connection in 1994? Tune in and find out! Also included: fun. (the band) as well as fun (the activity with friends).

Good morning, afternoon, and evening! It’s Halloween season, so get ready to get Spooky-Dooby-Doo! That was so bad, Kaylie tried to claim ownership of that joke. The meddling kids known as Gibby, Kaylie, and Bodio debate which Scooby-Doo movie is best, determined to see their contender come out on top. Will your favorite make it to the winner's circle? Not if it’s Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf. That one's just weird. Also included: Kaylie’s naiveté to lewdity, inbox spam, courtroom ju...
