I reckon it is about time to release this here bonus cast. It takes the form of a critical review of the movie, True Grit. Was it any good? Does it do the classic John Wayne justice? Is it badass? And more importantly, why is A.Ron struggling with making a folksy, western sounding news update to accompany this post?
Another week, another warm, fat brick from the golden goose. This time it comes in the form of Jim and A.Ron discussing the Chrome store, sex games on Kinect, a state of the geek update and our new year’s resolutions.
You know, sometimes your hosts feel like they really banged out a terrific episode… and then other times the best we can say is that the data we uploaded to the old bald computer conforms to the MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3 format. Which kind of episode is this? Well, let’s just say that there exists an optimum amount of alcohol involved in podcasting, and the right ratio is hard to quantify at times. Our old buddy Jim might have crossed the line in this one, but I try my best to keep things professional. Even when he got a bit fresh and grabby at that one point. Hand me that doll, so I can show you where he touched me. I assure you, they were all bad places, very bad indeed.
A.Ron and Jim break down bathroom etiquette, brag a bit about Jim’s new system, “Behemoth”, and catch up the listeners on the state of the Badass, with mini reviews of Faster, and looking ahead to True Grit, the Mechanic, and Nick Cage’s latest hilarious attempt to climb Mount Badass.
The guys get formal and get geeky in this week’s episode. Up front is a lengthy discussion of gaming mice, as Jim breaks down every aspect of the oft-overlooked HID-Compliant device. Breaks it down into its constituent atoms. Breaks it down so it’ll never get back up.
A. Ron is back from the isle, soggy Game Informer in hand, to join Jim for the video game square down. What games have we been playing? What 2011 games are we excited for? What big games do we have no interest in? What does caffeine withdrawal feel like? Answer these questions and throw in a bit of funny and you have episode 40 of Blue Yonder.
It’s a goddamn epidemic! Another airline catastrophe, another cast mate crashed on a desert island. This time it’s A.Ron’s turn, and he brings a twist to the top seven list as he considers what movies he’d like to while away the time with during his exile. And if you’re thinking Star Wars makes the cut, you’re going to need to think again.
The dynamic duo is back, with the audio quality better than ever. We talk about worst jobs ever, how content producers can compete with pirates (and ninjas), The Walking Dead, Wil Wheaton, Brent Spiner, and LeVar Burton forming the Holy Trinity of Twitter, our manlove for Scott Pilgrim, TSA’s new airport molesting program (opt in! opt in!), Carl Sagan’s COSMOS, evolution theory, and more!
Oh no! Jim is stranded on the island and his only hope to preserve his sanity are the 7 television series dvd sets that he happened to have with him. Good thing they’re some of his favorites! Check out the Jim Jones solo cast.
Does a Droid suck down batteries? Do regional agreements blow? Why is the government have it in for gay marriage? Is Sony trying to pull off a plot from Superman 3? What console just celebrated it’s 25th anniversary? Does Jim have the worst taste in movies? Is Peter ever going to cast again? Explore the mysteries of life with your hosts on this week’s episode!
