Episode 177: Batman Begins: A movie about Isaac Newton Aug 28, 2025

Show notes

In classic Nolan-tradition, the boys attack his filmography in the order that it is supposed to be discussed: out of order. Here is Batman Begins and a confused discussion about the BAFTAs. Not least how it is supposed to be pronounced.

Episode 176: Memento Apr 23, 2025

Show notes

Ryan has some interesting experiences at work and the guys (some of them) have watched another Nolan-movie. Highly unclear if they understood all the plot points.

Episode 175: The Following Mar 06, 2025

Show notes

The Following? Following? What's this movie called? Jason joins us with a quiz, Thomas gets too drunk, and Chris and Ryan disagree on a movie rating.

Episode 174: Oh my garland, we are back! Dec 12, 2024

Show notes

Stuff your chimneys! We are back! After a scheduled and carefully planned break, the SSEU podcast is back spreading Christmas cheer. Chris is concerned about the working conditions at the North Pole, Thomas manages to go an entire episode without swooning over Anna Kendrick, and Ryan thinks it is 2019. And does anyone actually know how many Die Hard movies there are?

Episode 173: Shiny Hiney Jun 25, 2024

Show notes

How is your personal hygiene? Chris has discovered a new tool to help you look your best for everyone you meet. We also discuss the key components of a trip to Austin and Thomas is celebrating (for no apparent reason) with a bottle of bubbly).

Episode 172: National Haberman Vacation (in Texas) May 24, 2024

Show notes

The Habermans have visited the Kinneys in Texas! That's worth an episode or five.

Episode 171: #SuccessionFinale #BREAKING #First Apr 24, 2024

Show notes

Backup Benny squats in for Thomas to talk about the 4th season of Succession and there’s even a partial ranking of the seasons. There will be spoilers, the finale probably hasn’t even aired yet in some timezones. There’s your warning.

Episode 170: Brown Cheese Christmas in Norway Apr 16, 2024

Show notes

Whoever said that you cannot release a Christmas episode in April, well, maybe you are right. But we are doing it anyway. In this episode you fin unique insights into Norwegian cuisine and the Austin real estate market. We can almost guarantee you that is a first for any podcast.

Episode 169: Bullet Train Mar 16, 2024

Show notes

You remember the movie Se7en? Well, Bullet Train is nothing like that. Also in this episode: Thomas teaches us about schnapps, there is a frozen wife, and a discussion of Reddit's finest subreddit.

Episode 168: What if, Train? Dec 12, 2023

Show notes

Two things. First, this is released a week after the last episode and seems way too predictable for a weekly podcast and makes me uncomfortable. Second, that The Lone Ranger got a greenlight for production raises so many questions. But we are glad its exists or otherwise this episode would not have content. Third, Chris is going to attempt some plumbing. What could possibly go wrong? Fourth, enjoy the counting podcast, kemosabe. Fifth, we are a counting podcast.
