Bald Move Pulp is where you can get your fix of robots, aliens, action space adventures, and everything in between; on television or on the big screen. Pulp was not made for serious drama, if that’s your thing, you might be looking for Bald Move Prestige.

Every time we ask our fellow fans “how can we improve our show?”, the number one answer is always, “cover more shows!” Well good news! Now we’re covering ALL THE SHOWS! Join us for our first experimental podcast where, instead of doing a single feature show, we spend a few minutes talking about all the stuff we’re watching. Honestly, this is a little shaky, and it will probably take a few weeks for us to get our footing and figure out how to pace the show and work in feedback optimally.
The bad news is that our feature show, the “Justified Podcast” is being decommissioned to make room in our schedules for this new mash-up show. But fear not, talking about Justified is still a priority at Bald Move HQ, and it gets the lion share of the time in the cast. Note that we are still planning on doing featured shows for “Game of Thrones”, “Mad Men”, “Breaking Bad”, as well as “The Walking Dead”, but we hope to keep this new show going year ’round.
Well what do you know? A bonus-bonus cast! Voting was so close for this week’s movies we decided to do both, one with me and Jim, and one with NotJim, my girlfriend. As a head strong, rebellious redhead, I thought she could bring some thunder to a cast covering “Brave”, which features a head strong, rebellious redhead. Did we strike more Pixar gold, or was this a Cars 2ish lump of coal?
The third Bald Movie, “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” was an interesting choice for us. Based on the book by the same title, (and screenwritten by the same author), I had started to talk myself into the notion that this movie could be cool; after all, Abraham Lincoln is the kind of historic figure that has the larger than life biography to fit something like vampire hunting into his life’s nooks and crannies, the Civil War provides an always fascinating background for great stories to be told, and, you know. Vampires. What did we think in the end?
Our coverage of the first listener assigned movie, the 80’s rock musical extravaganza “Rock of Ages”. In this episode, we meet a fan, discuss the trailers we saw, what we thought of the movie, and meditate on Tom Cruise’s facility at portraying megalomaniacal super stars and G-rated strip clubs in the spoiler section.
Our little experiment starts this week as we take a stab at reviewing the new Ridley Scott scifi-horror film, “Prometheus”. This is a free bonus cast so you can gauge what you’ll get for $1 when we do it “for real” next week. If you’ve seen the movie, you might want to take a peek at this livejournal review that analyzes some of the deeper themes involved, as Jim and I make reference to it quite a bit in the spoiler section.
It had to be done, folks. Just too high a concentration of badassery, bullshit, and balls to ignore. Jim and A.Ron post up in a local BW to break down the latest installment of insanity that is the Fast & the Furious franchise. Spoiler alert! Cars are driven fast, women’s bodies are oggled, nitrous oxide is injected, cocoa butter is applied to arms, chin stubble is sported, and one liners spouted. The audio quality is a little off since we recorded this on my blackberry sitting on a table during game four of the Bulls/ATL playoff series, but it’s easy to understand.
