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.
As has been discussed, we’re dipping our toes into the pay-for-play waters. We’re starting a series of movie reviews, and hopefully other extra content, for a small fee. The people have spoken, and tomorrow we’re going to see, review, and release a podcast for “Rock of Ages”, the Tom Cruise / Scientology vehicle. There are…
[poll id=”3″] Alright! It’s time to kick off this project proper! If you’re curious what this is all about, please read this in-depth post on the Bald Movie project from last week. Select a movie from the poll to your right that you’d like to send Jim and I to. It’s kind of slim pickings…
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.
[poll id=”2″] TL;DR summary: Jim and I want to start doing one movie review a week, and are wondering if the listeners would be willing to pay $1/to listen to the resulting cast. Read on for details… So, Jim and I started talking last night about things we could do to take Bald Move to…
This is a terrible cast. I honestly wouldn’t listen to it, if I were you. I mean, I gotta keep it real, right? I can’t say how awesome our casts are and it mean anything and then drop a turd and talk it up, yeah? Yeah.
Thing is, I’m not sure why it flopped on it’s face. We had some good bullshit up front; pimping the Brew Ha Ha, advances in metallurgy, saying a happy birthday to Alan Turing, and talking about Terry Prachett’s dignity in making end of life decisions. A.Ron plugs one of his favorite twitter feeds, @humblebrag.
Hello and welcome to our brand new show! In this episode Jhatt and special guest host Jazzy Jeff discuss why you don’t mess with the Jesus and if missed your chance don’t worry you get another. You’ll also hear why Neo is not the ONE; the Avengers movie might feature tampons, and why amateur bootleg…
It’s rough going when you’re sitting across the casting table from the Unabomber. But I persevere. For the people. For my people. For you, people. We open the show with some straight up BULLSHIT this week! The apparently not-so-great state of Tennessee is banning the sharing of account credentials for services such as Netflix. Jim survives an experience with Bitch Slap!, and A.Ron mourns the missed potential of Priest with a wheelbarrow laden review/recap.
This week the guys get local up front with news for a possible Brew Ha Ha meet up in downtown Indy, we mourn the passing of a giant with our observation of Towel Day, Jimbo Wales has delusions of grandeur regarding Wiki as a World Wonder, don’t mess with the TSA, Texas, and Jim pitches the idea of laser tag hair removal.
The fans have been clammoring (clammoring!) for Jim and A.Ron to sing a duet of the inimitable Garth Brook’s “Low Places” for over a year now. Actually, that’s a lie. But! You can still hear it if you stick around after the outro in this week’s episode! Leading up to the big finish, we give a bit of PSN update, I talk gearhead bullshit for a minute, we talk about the local board gaming scene, the mighty THOR not sucking nearly as much as we presupposed, and whether Chris Hemsworth could earn a spot in the badass pantheon.
