Sean & Greg put the nativity in negativity by tackling crazy Christmas shoppers, The new V series and the Prisoner remake, The Men Who Stare at Goats and its depiction of the First Earth Battalion, and the attitude of movies like Back to the Future and Clash of the Titans towards sexual assault. Merry Christmas, everybody. |
Sun, 22 November 2009
Sean and Greg set out to talk Frankenstein with Lynn, but end up talking about the sexy starlets of scifi and TV shows like V, Big Love, Smallville, FlashForward, the Vampire Diaries, Fringe and for some reason, MacGyver.

Sun, 25 October 2009
Zombieland and other recent zombie stories like the Walking Dead comic are shifting the focus from surviving the initial zombie outbreak to living in a zombie world. Surviving the first 48 hours of infection is necessary, but how do you make it past the first 100 days? Living in the Zombie War requires a bigger set of the rules, which the boys are happy to provide. Mudoogul Mudslinger joins in the Halloween fun to talk zombie survival tactics, the University of Florida's short-lived zombie response plan, and the new supernatural haunted house movie, Paranormal Activity.

|
Sat, 15 August 2009
Brooks has finally watched Watchmen, but argues there aren't as many men to watch as previously asserted by Sean and Greg. Was Dr. Manhatten's atomic junk blown out of proportion or is the whole blue business just a big fat hoax? You decide... |
Sat, 15 August 2009

Plus there is a tribute to 80's Johnnie Drama, James Remar, Joe Lamont's Quiet Cool theme song, and lots of unnecessary singing from the boys themselves.
|
Sat, 25 July 2009
Reflecting on the 40th anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landing, the boys consider where technology has brought us since then. Sure, podcasting and the wikipedia are awesome, but while we're trying to decide whether Ubuntu is preferable to Microsoft Vista, who's developing the next breakthrough technology that will make history the same way the astronauts did? Will we ever have a moon base or go to Mars? And is dark matter even real at all? Plus we talk about the new Harry Potter movie. |
Mon, 20 July 2009
Pulsar the Ultimate Man of Adventure, ROM the Space Knight, Shogun Warriors, Go Bots, Weebles and JJ Armes... Star Wars and GI Joe weren't the only awesome toys from our youth.

Fri, 17 July 2009

Sun, 28 June 2009
This is practically a Jane Austen tribute. We discuss Stephen King adaptations like 1408 and the Shawshank Redemption, but mostly the many faces of Pride and Prejudice, including the new Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. There is also some talk of Harry Potter and Sean does a little Dr. Horrible karaoke. Consider yourselves warned.
|
Thu, 25 June 2009
In this long-awaited (if unsolicited) follow-up to the gaming episode, the boys pretend they're going to discuss Dungeons & Dragons and the Star Wars role-playing game, but end up telling random stories about pretty much everthing else. In other words, the usual...
|
Sat, 20 June 2009
In this episode, we pretend to discuss books that were adapted into movies, but we're so excited to have Lynn on the show we just end up chatting the whole time. We talk Lord of the Rings, Watchmen, the viciousness of Koalas, and the comparative virtues of the yowie to the bunyip. And that's only in part one... |
Wed, 17 June 2009

This episode is not really about UFO's (except a little), but we're pretty much all over the place. From George W. Bush to James Bond and the Mysteries from Beyond the Other Dominion, we manage to rip on Oliver Stone, Paul Haggis and pretty much all TV shows. Another one from the vault and for the books, folks...
|
Sat, 13 June 2009
In this extract from the Summer Movie Special, Sean and Brooks team with David to discuss the upcoming GI Joe movie. So here's a little taste of that before the full episode is up. |
Mon, 8 June 2009
Ever since Reefer Madness, marijuana has had a dubious distinction in the eyes of the mainstream, creating a weird counter-culture of drug movies that celebrate the twinkie-craving outlaw in all of us. From Cheech & Chong to Dazed & Confused, marijuana movies have run the gamut from total crap to comedy gold. The boys look into this interesting entertainment phenomenon with their usual aplomb.
|
Sun, 31 May 2009
The boys pretend to talk about the untimely deaths of rock legends like Jimi Hendrix and Curt Cobain (all at the age of 27), but mostly yammer about their new forum, the Bilderburg conspiracy, the new zombie video game Left 4 Dead and the new Star Trek movie.
|
Fri, 29 May 2009
You think we're scared to thrown down the karaoke challenge, world? Well, here it is: Sean's rendition of "Leaving on a Jet Plane" by John Denver. You think you can top this? Send us your audio of your own own karoke if you've the stones. You think we're scared. You don't scare us one damn bit.
|
Mon, 25 May 2009
Computers predicting the future, the mysterious Cryptos code, and other oddities are fodder for this discussion. Did the scientists and futurists of the MERLIN project design a computer program that predicts the future (but for some reason can't see anything past 2012)? Did a sculptor come up with a code that CIA crptoanalysts can't crack? And what is the story behind the wisdom of the Georgia Guidestones? Listen and find out!
|
Mon, 25 May 2009
The boys take a few minutes to discuss the first person thriller Quarantine and the many negative examples it offers on surviving a horror movie. Plus: how to escape a hungry polar bear...
|
Mon, 25 May 2009
What happens when a remake becomes more like a sequel (or sometimes the other way around)? The new Star Trek leads the boys to examine this concept by looking at other requels past like Terminator 2, Escape from LA, and the new Friday the 13th. Plus we talk Wolverine, Highlander and the faltering merits of samurai swords in science fiction.
|
Sun, 17 May 2009
Don't get your hopes up, this isn't our final episode... The boys talk about the dubious ends of scifi series like the new Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Quantum Leap, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Greatest American Hero. In so doing they ask the question: Do scifi finale's always suck? |
Sun, 17 May 2009
The Beatles, AC/DC, The Eagles, Elvis, CCR... They all at some point had songs with so-called subliminal messages, which apparently can turn you into a servant of Satan just by hearing them. Is there any truth to this, or is it a lot of nonsense and coincidence run amok? |
Sun, 17 May 2009
Kirk, Spock and McCoy are back with a sexy new Uhura, Rachel Nichols as an Orion slave girl and even Leonard Nimoy. Is this the Star Trek we've been waiting for?
|
Thu, 14 May 2009

Sat, 2 May 2009
Time travel, repeating days, Jack the Ripper, Nostradamus... The boys cover another set of scifi cliches that it's probably time to retire. |
Fri, 24 April 2009
Atlantis, King Arthur, sexy vampires and techno music Karate fights... What are the cliches that could be retired forever in scifi movies? The boys discuss this and the inappropriate introduction of computer-generated atomic man-junk in Watchmen. All this and the return of boobies! And Lynn gives her review of Tyrannosaurus Wrecks. |
Fri, 17 April 2009
CHUD, leprechaun, Nightbreed and the Shadmock... Yes sir, there have been plenty of monsters that never hit the Rock Star status of Frankenstein and Freddy Krueger. For every zombie there's a Rumpelstilskin, for every Michael Meyers there's a Horace Pinker. Finally someone pays tribute to the heroes of classics like Basket Case and Deadly Friend. Second stringers, put on your monkey suits and get ready to receive your honors...
|
Sun, 5 April 2009
Here it is, world... Darwinism vs. intelligent design, people riding dinosaurs, zombie strippers, the presidential doomsday plane, gun shows and taser phones, man junk, boobs and full frontal nudity... We've done big shows before, but this one is about as pointless and erratic as they come. We're not afaid to tackle the big issues. Plus, check out "How It Should Have Ended" and enjoy the Die Hard song by Guyz Nite! |
Sat, 28 March 2009
The boys talk Heroes, Battlestar Galactica and the new Friday the 13th, but mostly this one's all about the friends of the show. Listener mail and audience feedback is the backbone of this one, folks...
|
Sun, 15 March 2009
The Mayan Long Count Calendar is nearing the end of its 13th (and possibly final) baktun - is that the end of humanity or will the Galactic Alignment mean a whole new era in human existence? And what does Nostradamus have to do with this? The boys discuss all things 2012, from the Masons to the Reptilian Annunaki aliens of the doom planet Nibiru to Global Warming and interstellar storms. Plus we talk about UFO Hunters and their obsession with Area 51. This is the big one, people. Get ready... |
Sun, 8 March 2009
The boys go off on all things irrelevant, from the Oscars and the XBox to the Blu Ray and the recent remake of "The Last House on the Left". There is an obligatory examination of Christian Bale's onset rant and for the most part a ranting review of reality television.
|
Sat, 28 February 2009
Bloodsucking Freaks and other odd bits of discussion, including the new GI Joe movie, the Transformers sequel, the new Friday the 13th, the long-awaited Watchmen movie, Incredibad, Flight of the Conchords, the MTV effect and why pop culture may be eating itself. In short, another episode without a topic...

|
Sun, 8 February 2009
Three guys walk into a bar... Yes, it's about jokes this week: From Seinfeld to 30Rock, the boys discuss comedians like Steve Martin and the infamous aristocrats joke. What makes bad jokes funny and why are ducks always hanging out in bars? All this and so much more... |
Sun, 25 January 2009
Jim Henson, Meet the Feebles, Ded Bob... From socks to foam rubber, we try to cover it all in this one. If you're not a muppet believer at the start of this show, we'll make you one by the end.
|
Sun, 11 January 2009
Sure, you know how to make it through an armageddon scenario, but once the space dust has settled and the fallout has receded, how will you survive the dystopian nightmare of the post-apocalyptic world? From Waterworld to the Road Warrior, Sean and Brooks discuss how to Mad Max your way through mohawk weirdoes and cannibal warlords.
|
Sat, 3 January 2009
Plague, asteroids, zombies, dinosaurs, robots, aliens, nuclear war, global warming, the Ozone layer, the Highlander... The end of the world can take many forms, friends. The trick is to keep your head and know your doomsday scenarios. The boys talk about how to keep your cool and use your head (right down to what parts of the brain work best for each given situation). We're back with a vengeance, people. This is the one to listen to.
