It's FNGTAC x TBwWKB! After a lengthy absence (read: our typical absence) the FNGTAC returns with an update on Kamau's new show, "Totally Biased" (premiering on FX Aug. 9th) as production officially begins. Kamau and Alex have a quick chat in the (still developing) offices of "Totally Biased" about how he got to this point and what the future might bring.

Honestly, very little of this episode actually has anything to do with the title but... whatever. This week, Vernon and Kamau mostly discuss everyone's new favorite hologram—move over Princess Leia and will.i.am—Tupac "I Would Never Have Approved of This" Shakur.

We've been away for awhile, but I promise (promise) that it'll all be worth the hassle within the next few weeks. Big changes are in store for the FNGTAC, one of which includes breaking our dependence on Skype to facilitate the recordings. The whole gang will be converging on New York City soon and taking advantage of that in a number of ways, so your patience will be heavily rewarded very, very soon.

Come say 'hi:'

Happy Easter or Passover or The Regular Weekend or whatever else you prefer to call today—we're all inclusive at the FNGTAC. This week, Kamau and Vernon mainly discuss the now-official pairing of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, (great couple or THE GREATEST couple? You decide) before moving onto yet another absurd decision from the U.S. Supreme court. Did you know that law enforcement is now entitled to perform a strip-search on any individual arrested or detained for any reason, no matter how minor the charge? No probable cause? No problem! "I felt like it" is apparently probable cause now...

Vernon & Kamau are on Facebook and we're all on Twitter:

Follow us. We're cool.

Warning: you'll probably need to keep an eye on the volume knob for this one becuase it was recorded in a different way than usual, but it's worth it. No spoilers: this is better if you go in cold.

*Before he gets too famous to answer your tweets, which should be any day now.

It should come as no surpirse that we open this week's episode by discussing the tragic events surrounding the truly senseless killing of 17-year-old Floridian Trayvon Martin. I'm sure you're already familiar with the basics of the case, so I'll leave the elaboration to Vernon and Kamau (who elaborate quite well).

Moving on, our glorious leaders go on to discuss the public's recent fascination with Joseph Kony and how it ties into the controversy surround Mike Daisy's "report" on working conditions at Apple factories on "The American Life." The throughline is much stronger than you'd suspect...

How is the iPad 3 The New iPad a metaphor for Catholocism? Listen on, my friend.

There's no Oscar talk in this episode, but that's not because Oscar talk wasn't recorded. We're gonna call this one 33 "ish" because the real 33 is still on the way. Or is it 32.5? 34? Whatever...

This week, the guys start out by telling you a little about where they've been for the last six weeks (everyone's been busy—even the non-famous Alex) before moving on to discuss Don Cornelius, Whitney Houston, and of course, the most important person in the world (apparently) Jeremy Lin. There's probably no point in describing the epsiode in any more detail since you're probably now in a state of Lin-induced insanity* and not reading this anyway.

*I'm not going to use the "word" you're thinking of here.

We're on Twitter and Facebook and stuff—you know how the internet works.

Happy Chinese New Year! Fresh off the State of the Union address, Vernon and Kamau naturally head into a discussion about the current political clmate heading into what will surely be a long election season. Love, stabbings, secret tea, rough sex—it's all here.

Find us online at FNGTAC.com or the usual spots:

This week we're keeping it high and tight—dream collabs, medical conditions, time machines, CGI, inerracial love, Sarah Palin and a dude Kamau kinda wants to sleep with. Pow!

Alex shuns techonology.

We <3 you.

Our first official FNGTAC of 2012 was actually recorded at the VERY end of 2011, so since we're trapped in a podcast time-vortex anyway, we're taking a little time to look back at our favorite films of the year. Vernon and Kamau go from big budget CGI-fests to small indy pics you might have missed (without spoilers, so don't worry if they get to something you haven't seen yet) so there's sure to be something for everyone—even Alex.

As usual, you can always connect with Kamau at Facebook.com/WKamauBell and on Twitter @WKamauBell

You can also say "hi" to Vernon at Facebook.com/LivingColour and on Twitter @Vurnt22

Alex still hates Facebook and recently closed his Twitter as well, but feel free to like, send a message through Kamau or Vernon or whatever and they can text him.
