The hosts of Brunch, Blaze and Babble, Roger Turner and Alexus Bertrand love a good movie. With summer already underway, we talk about one of our favorite genres of movies: action movies. More specifically, "army of one" (usually called "one man army" but a more inclusive title was needed) movies. Action movies in which a singular protagonist, with little to no assistance, takes on insurmountable odds to save the day.
In this episode the hosts will discuss each of their top 5 Army of One movies. Alexus and Roger talk about some old movies, some new movies and a couple you've probably never heard of...so take notes. -

Today I talk with the team behind the museum: Alex Gomberg, the Vice President of Brooklyn Seltzer Boys, and Barry Joseph, the author of Seltzertopia: The Extraordinary Story of an Ordinary Drink.

Join the hosts of Brunch, Blaze & Babble, Roger Turner and Alexus Bertrand as they discuss the hypocrisy and BS of it all and make it clear what Children of the Atom
actually stand for. -
