Shut Up I Love It

Today, we continue our conversation with Frater I.C.L. and Bryant Walker, the members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. We dig deep into the topic of DEMONIC EVOCATIONS (and one invocation). Frater I.C.L. recalls a few stories from the field, including a broken heart, a bruised thigh, a whispering spirit and of course, the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram. Speaking of the pentagram, isn't that the sign of Satan? Is a "blind spirit" actually blind? And what does it feel like to be "taken over" by an Ancient Egyptian god? Listen to find out. This is it for today. You've got "the license to depart." Check out Bry Walker's (aka Mr. Owl's) website. He wrote a new track for our podcast!

Just when you thought we couldn't surprise you any more, we brought you actual practicing ALCHEMISTS. Modern-day alchemy is such a secretive endeavor, one of our guests chose to use a pseudonym (you'll be able to tell who). Both Frater I.C.L. and the returning guest Bryant Walker are also members of The Hermetic Order Of the Golden Dawn, a secret society devoted to the study and practice of the occult, metaphysics, and paranormal activities. Can you actually convert lead into gold? Is the philosopher's stone real? And who is the "collective Shadow" (it's Satan)? Listen to find out. Note: this is Part One of our conversation with Frater I.C.L. and Bryant Walker. Part Two is dedicated to Demonic Evocations. All right, enough for today. Ora, lege, lege, lege, relege, labora et invenies (google it). Check out Bry Walker's (aka Mr. Owl's) website. He wrote a new track for our podcast!

The fabulous lady reporter/influencer/outlier Damiana Garcia comes back to defend the concept of masks... or the concept of taking masks off... or she just this opportunity to talk about her ongoing feud with her neighbor Briahna... we don't really know. If you figure it out by way of listening to this podcast, please email us. Did Damiana hire a Hollywood practical FX artist to build her a special animatronic mask a la Total Recall? Did she use the mask to scare a passerby who proceeded to punch Damiana in the face? And what happened to the 90K she crowd-raised for her suspected coronavirus recovery (spoiler alert: it's Instacarts)? Listen to find out. Find Damiana on IG.

Welcome to the first episode of The Damiana Series! Joining us is the fabulous Damiana Garcia (RuPaul’s Drag Race finale red carpet, THE DAMIANA FILES), a hard-hitting lady reporter from the Rancho Palos Verdes local news affiliate. She's here to praise her idol, Carole Baskin of the TIGER KING fame on Netflix. Is Carole's life an example of a classic "survival story"? Does Damiana possess another, some might say vicious, personality named Claudia? And was Damiana the one who started the #saferathome, albeit in reference to a "white chocolate frapp, extra whip"?

Comedians Tracy Meyer and Howie Kremer come back with another TV show that they love and none of their friends watches: C.B. STRIKE, based on the best-selling novels by Robert Galbraith (aka J.K. Rowling) and starring Tom Burke as Cormoran Strike and, brilliantly, Holliday Grainger as Robin Ellacott. So, like, whodunit? How come there's little to none sexy time in the show? And most importantly, how does Howie feel about Sandra Oh? Email us at [email protected] Twitter/Instagram: @shutupiloveit1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shutupiloveit1/

We hope you love DEVS (the TV show with a rare promise of strong Russian characters) as much as we do. Writer/comedian Michael Lucid joins Sasha and Joe to share his love for Alex Garland's most recent masterpiece, starring Sonoya Mizuno, Nick Offerman and Karl Glusman.

Oh boy, do we have a treat for you. Returning to the show is our friend/screenwriter/clown legend Chad Damiani. He joins Sasha and Joe in an epic discussion of ANGEL HAS FALLEN, a 2019 action thriller starring Gerard Butler, Morgan Freeman, Nick Nolte, Danny Huston and Piper Perabo. How many explosions can you have with a budget of $40 million? Can you trust Nick Nolte with young children? And finally, what happens if you cut out all the scenes with Jada Pinkett Smith?

Musician Bryant Walker has been a member of The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn for 12 years. Now that's a secret society so we're very grateful to have Bry shed light on things like the Occult and Ceremonial Magic, Carl Jung, Aleister Crowley and other good stuff. Bry goes deep, recalling his occult experiences like invoking ancient Sumerian spirits and carving symbols (consensually!) on the scarlet woman's back, mid-coitus. Wait, who is this scarlet woman you're talking about? How does sex "magick" work? And what are cakes of light and should I eat them (you shouldn't)? Listen to find out answers to all of your salacious questions. Check out Bry Walker's (aka Mr. Owl's) website. He wrote a new track for our podcast!

Join us for an intimate edition of Shut Up I Love It. Sasha and writer/comedian Joe Cabello (FIVE @ 305, Beat It) sit down for a virtual hang to tackle 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS (2003), arguably the least liked movie in the franchise, starring Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson and a very tanned Cole Hauser. What ever happened to the driver who got killed under the semi-truck (and nobody cared about it)? Does passionate thigh-squeezing count as a fighting maneuver? And what's a penis-chopper-offer?

Everyone loves Larry David, the creator of SEINFELD and CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, right? Not so fast. In this SHUT UP I HATE IT edition, pop-culture expert Burt Kearns refers to LD as a "baldheaded four-eyed prick," as he recalls being dissed by the man at a group dinner back in the 80s. Before you know it, a conspiracy theory is born: did Larry have something to do with Sonny Bono's fatal ski "accident"? You heard it here first. We also share some of our celebrity encounters, including those with Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Jim Jarmusch and yes, more Larry David. Burt Kearns is a TV producer and author, most recently he co-wrote the book The Show Won't Go On: The Most Shocking, Bizarre, and Historic Deaths of Performers Onstage with Jeff Abraham. Jay Hunter's podcast Ween Pod Satan is dedicated to "the best band of all time." Email us at [email protected] Twitter/Instagram: @shutupiloveit1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shutupiloveit1/

What's up fam! Boy, do we have a special episode for you today. Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello bring back Cinematographer Jay Hunter (AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON, SUPERSTORE) to discuss PSYCHEDELIC SUBSTANCES, from salvia to shrooms to DMT. How many shroom trips has Jay embarked on over the course of his youth? Who the hell are Self-Transforming Machine Elves? And what does a DMT trip have in common with the 2017 film GIRLS TRIP? Listen to find out. Also, we recommend the trippiest moves and TV shows out there: Annihilation, The Field In England, Midsommar and DEVS. You can download Joe's graphic novel "Robot. Black Belt. Champion" for free. Check out Jay's podcast Pod Ween Satan about the greatest band of all time. Stay safe and wash those handsies.

Our hearts go out to Italy, so we're releasing an episode we recorded just a few weeks ago, when we all were young and innocent. Actor/clown Tadamori “Tad” Yagi drops by to praise Roberto Benigni's 2002 film PINOCCIO -- and present his fascinating analysis of this cultural masterpiece. Does Pinoccio have "wood" for the Blue Fairy? Which character(s) in the film look like child molesters? And most importantly, how can anyone ignore the fact that a 50-year-old man is playing a prepubescent boy? Listen to find out. Also, we recommend the animated show TUCA & BERTIE on Netflix and the musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee... wherever you can find it. (Note: since this episode was recorded on 3/01/20, Tad's live comedy shows are currently on hold...until the world goes back to normal).

Welcome to our least evergreen episode so far! The world is not what it was just a few weeks ago, but COVID-19 ain't stopping us from bringing you earfuls of goodies! This week, Steven and Sasha check in with Megan Baker to see how she's surviving this Pandemic/Quarantine/National Emergency business. Megan works at a doctor's office, so she's most likely to get coronavirus out of the three of us... or is she? Listen to find out. Also, we recommend a whole bunch of random stuff: the anime One Piece, the language-learning app italki, the video game Ashes Cricket, the horror film streaming platform Shudder, exercising from home (check out obéfitness and Down Dog apps: much like Shudder, they're running free apocalypse specials) and the quick PSA from Mel Brooks and Max Brooks (Note: the episode was recorded via Zoom on 3/21/20).

Actor/performer Melissa Heiman works on "Team Al," as in Al Pacino -- she recently rehearsed with him for Amazon's hit TV show HUNTERS. We sit down to discuss obsessive-compulsive disorder, which is by no means a laughing matter and can be a debilitating illness. However, Melissa finds *some* aspects of *her* OCD beneficial -- especially during the current COVID-19 outbreak. Melissa shares her experience with hypnotherapy, and we talk about our inexplicable obsessions, including looking for an intruder under the bed, walking around the house on tiptoes and organizing phone apps by color. At the end, we recommend the film Brahms: The Boy II, the TV show MR. PICKLES and Simply Cheetos.

Jeff Thompson is an actor, writer, and magician and not only does he take us "behind the scenes" of MAGIC, but also demonstrates us a sick card trick... ya know, just to blow our minds. And, being a graduate of the Academy of Magical Arts and all, he sure does! He also tells us about his audition at The Magic Castle... very intense! Later, we recommend three films: the 2018 Glenn Close/Jonathan Pryce vehicle The Wife, Color Out Of Space (2019) with your man Nicolas Cage and J. D. Dillard's The Sleight starring Jacob Latimore.

Amanda Sitko is a TV Writer (BROCKMIRE) and a veteran performer at the Upright Citizens Brigade theater. She credits STRANGERS WITH CANDY as her major comedy influence and prefers those people who've seen it/loved it to those who haven't. The discussion opens up to all things High School... including growing up in Siberia, where comedy was almost as rare as women behind the wheel. CW: we also discuss the use of derogatory terms in Film and TV, as well as the phenomenon aptly coined by another great comedian as "sexy autism." Then, we recommend Andy Samberg's comedy vehicle HOT ROD, the 2002 classic Kung Pow! Enter The Fist and filing for bankruptcy (that is, if you fit the bill). Check out BROCKMIRE Season 4 on IFC starting March 18, 2020. Email us at [email protected] Twitter/Instagram: @shutupiloveit1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shutupiloveit1/
