In this our 97th episode of the show we talk about some endings and new beginnings!

We began as we do every week by revealing that Cesca has been dead the whole time.

After that Cesca discussed her parting of ways with the roller derby team, and Ben announced his new comedy show that is starting up on June 4th (Squee). 

After that we gave an already out of date update on the Braingasm Summer Movie Wager! 

Then we broke…

In this third instalment of Cargasm we are joined by the elder statesman of Niagara Comedy, Jeff Stroop. This is part one of what will have to be a two part conversation which I consider Niagara Comedy: A People’s History.

This is a recording of the drive back from historic Club 54 in Burlington (home of the longest running stand up comedy show in television history). This was Ben’s first and Jeff’s hundred and first time performing there.…

In this our 85th episode of the show we are having a fireside chat with Melissa (@melissacocetta).



We began as we do every week by spoiling our thoughts about the movie that they are about to spend the next hour and a half discussing.



As you may have guessed this entire episode is devoted to a discussion of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. It was going to be a Braingasm Reviews but the discussion went into too many different…

In this our 84th episode of the Braingasm Podcast we do another sit down comedian conversation with one of my favourite people in the world, Tom Benjamin (@rottentommy).

We began as we do every week with Ben getting mad at the guest for having a better voice than him.

After that we got right to the business of conversation. Topics discussed ranged from: Tom’s drastically different on stage and off stage personae, his bad luck with…

In this better late than never 83rd episode of the Braingasm Podcast we are at full host strength and we are joined by a master Denic McElwaine (@den1981).

We began as we do every week with an out of nowhere recording and no preface. It ended up producing a good segment so it was worth it. 

After that we BSed around for a while before finally moving into What’s Been Filling Our Voids. Cesca got an extra life by seeing Wreck-It Ralph.…

In this shaken not stirred instalment of the wildly popular and father to many Braingasm Reviews series Ben, Jordan (@jowoco), and Zack (@Z_h_) reviewed the beloved latest entry in the James Bond film series, Skyfall.

In keeping with tradition they broke the discussion down to a spoiler free first segment and a spoiler ridden second segment. If you haven't seen the movie I would highly recommend that you not spy on the second…

In this back-to-basics 82nd episode of The Braingasm Podcast we are joined by an elite task force of familiar faces. Shakyl Lambert (@the_gamin_king), Jordan Worth Cobb (@jowoco), and a little later in the festivities Scott Johnson (@scottpjthoughts).

We began as we do every week with Shakyl doing high quality racism. 

After that we BS’d but good for a while talking about the ridiculous age difference between Bradley Cooper and…

In this our 81st episode of the Braingasm Podcast we are joined by three comedians in the no particular order: Clifford Myers (@Cliffalus ), Jeff Stroop and Brenda Lennie!

We began as we do every week by disparaging people named "Robbie" from our lofty positions sitting on the ground in a parking lot outside of a bar in Hamilton in the middle of the night...on a Wednesday. 

This was a super cool episode for me and I have to say,…

In this instalment of the popular Braingasm Reviews series, Ben is joined by Andrew Robinson (@gmanreviews) and Vincent Rivano (@theshiny1) to discus the newest film by director Rian Johnson (Brick, Brothers Bloom, that episode of Breaking Bad where they're trying to kill the fly) Looper. They broke the discussion down into a spoiler free and spoiler zone to give you guys the best of both worlds. 

As you will…

In this our 79th episode of The Braingasm Podcast we are joined by two men: One of whom you should be very familiar with. The other Ben has seen naked…several times. Craig Watkins (@craigfwatkins) and Zak McDonald (@zakmcdonald) stopped by to talk about the recent premiere of their new film The Store (https://www.facebook.com/TheStoreMovie).

We began as we do every week with Ben telling his…

In this our 78th episode of the Braingasm Podcast we are Cesca less and Ben heavy but don’t hold that against us. We were joined by locally and soon to be globally legendary Magician/Comedian Alex Kazam (Add him on facebook).



We began as we do every week by blaming art for all of the world’s problems.



This episode is an hour and a quarter conversation between Ben and Alex that covers topics as wild and varied as their views of show business, why…

In this our 77th episode (alliteration yay!) of the Braingasm Podcast we are joined by the black Wesley Snipes, Shakyl (@the_gaming_king).



We began as we do every week with Ben getting paranoid that someone is going to steal the podcast’s name.



After that we BSed for a while about Breaking Bad, Breaking Bad haters, and other non-Breaking Bad topics as well.



That segued nicely into our What’s Been Filling Our Void section. Quick editor’s…

In this our 76th episode of the Braingasm Podcast we are joined by our rogues gallery Scott Johnson (@scottpjthoughts), Vincent Rivano (@theshiny1) and Rob Sprance (@robsprance). 

We began as we do every week by doing none of the things that we do every week.

As the title suggests this is our much anticipated Breaking Bad episode. The episode is devoted entirely to a long and sweeping discussion of our favourite show on the air right now.

This is a very…

Hey guys.



I posted this earlier but allow me to elaborate. Cesca and I have decided to participate in this year's Extra Life charity video game marathon. We were drafted in the 3rd round by team Spillio (captained by the lovely Caitlin Turner) so all of your donations go to show people that Braingasm fans and Spill fans at large are the best and most awesomest community on the Internet (no pressure).

In this our 70th episode of the Braingasm Podcast we are sans Cesca but with an abundance of Jordan Cobb (@jowoco). Why? Because they're the same person! We are also joined by first timer but instant classic Andrew Robinson (@gmanreviews).

We began as we do every week with Jordan proclaiming his hatred of science in favour of his beloved religion.

After that we had an intensely entertaining BSing section which lasted right up until we moved on into What's Been…

Ben and Melissa (@melissacocetta) sit down and review the new Aubrey Plaza, Mark Duplass movie

Safety Not Guaranteed  about a magazine intern who gets the story of a lifetime, writing about a man who is looking in the classifieds for a partner to travel back in time with. I know it sounds kind of out there but trust me it’s a really good movie.



Spoiler Free: Start-0:23:49

Spoiler Ridden:…

In this our 60th episode of the Braingasm Podcast we are joined by two special gentlemen from the MAXcast podcast, Jordan (MaxJayJay on Spill) and Chicago Jonathan ( <--- on Spill).



We began as we do every week with Ben doing an impression of Jordan Cobb. 



After that we mellowed out and had a rousing chat and BS section. Topics discussed include: clip shows, MAXcast, Ryan and Ben's history of tormenting Zack, Rick…

In this our second installment of an ongoing series where Ben talks one on one with each of the contenders in the Braingasm 2012 Summer Movie Wager we get down and dirty with former co-host and all around bad ass mofo Ryan Corderman



The boys talked about their version of the history of Easter, Ben talked about being in first place, Zack, Six Feet Under and Breaking Bad, Movie Wager strategies, Ryan’s inexplicable love of 80s Glam Rock, and all kinds of good…

In this our 59th episode of The Braingasm Podcast we are joined by friends both old and new in the forms of Shakyl (@The_gaming_king) and Splinter47 from The Bloody Thumbs Podcast (@Splinter47).

We began as we do every week by introducing ourselves (longtime fans will get why that's funny)

We talked about Shakyl's recent 19th birthday. After that we had a brief getting to know you chat with Splinter which was all about his…

In this our 58th episode of The Braingasm Podcast we are joined by reigning super fan Denis (@den1981), and later by movie wager suck master Thomas (@neozectt).

We began as we do every week with Ben doing the opening to the show so fast that even he doesn't know what was said.

After that we had a lively discussion of the past week's events, which were numerous and varied. Denis went to the dentist and heard the words every human being dreads...oops.…
