Episode 32.2 - Movie Meltdown

Episode 32.1 - Movie Meltdown

Episode 31.1 - Movie Meltdown

This week we experiment with the structure of the show slightly, and break it up into two convenient sections. Give it a listen and see if you prefer this method.

In this portion of the show, we discuss the past week's top money-makers, the buzz in Hollywood news, and feature our exclusive (and massively entertaining, I think) interview with J.T. Petty, the director of The Burrowers.

             HAVE YOU VOTED FOR US THIS MONTH?

                    Thank you for supporting the show...

- As independence day draws near, we take a look at one of this country's greatest heroes â Evel Knievel! Entertainer, stuntman, patriot, all-around bad-ass. God bless that red, white and blue bastard! Aside from damned-near devoting a religion to the man, we also review 1977's Viva Knievel. Quite possibly one of the most awesome (and ridiculous) movies ever produced. Listen as we tell tales of Evel slapping children, promoting helmet safety and foiling drug smugglers. Itâs all in a dayâs work when youâre the coolest man on the planet.

- Also in this, our most over-crowded installment of Hollywood Boneyard, we try to figure out what was up with all the celebrity deaths this week.

- Plus we unveil a new character in our Movie Fan Freakshow known as The Delivery Guy. Accompanied by a disturbing cartoon companion piece.

Coyote stunts, Them, Gene Kelly, Robbie Knievel, and of course like the rest of the world - we have to discuss Michael Jackson.

- Everyone stand and salute the star-spangled bad-ass!

Movie Meltdown - Episode 26

This is the Way the World Ends - Southland Tales.

This week we turn off our exhausted brains and attempt to discuss - Southland Tales. Richard Kelly of Donnie Darko fame assembles this conglomeration of ridiculousness, including the ensemble cast of Dwayne Johnson (a.k.a. The Rock), Sarah Michelle Gellar, Seann William Scott, Justin Timberlake and Mandy Moore. Yep, somebody lost a bet...

This train wreck of a movie incites comments that range from, "I like this movie - screw you guys." to "It's a piece of shit!". And as we try to rationalize with ourselves, you'll hear quotes like, "And really, [I was] even questioning why I was liking it, as I was watching it. Because I shouldn't like it. It's a mess!" and "I don't think I'll ever see this movie again - ever. But I had a good time." This movie is a lot to deal with, and our discussion just scratches the surface.

Plus we interview filmmaker Linas Phillips, director of Walking to Werner. A movie about the director's  journey on foot from Seattle to Los Angeles to meet Werner Herzog. And along the way meets some strange characters and questions his true motivation.

And we talk about these and many other things... William Mapother, Pickin' and Trimmin', riffing on Twilight, Madonna sucks the life out of you, the Terminator TV series, sad in a good way, underlying adult themes, Wes Craven, Brigitte Bardot, Mazes and Monsters, Conan!, furry-footed tree dweller, Tony Scott, Revolver, Norwegian black metal, Werner Herzog, Jason Statham with hair, I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer, slice of Americana, "retool-ing" The Warriors, mandolins, Krysta Now, Eruption, Janeane Garofalo, Until the Light Takes Us, Great Speeches From a Dying World, Andre 3000, pumpkinhead Brandy, Atonement, Scream trilogy, Jaime King, Masi Oka, Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Marcus Nispel, Frank Frazetta, whoopee - a zeppelin, a mohawk on Shia LaBeouf, Church burnings, Flyover Film Festival, Ray Liotta needs to keep clothes on, more on Up, Rifftrax, Body of Evidence, the legend of the fisherman, being taken out by spaghetti, Nintendo and Dreamcast games, The Defenders and Pixar porn.

Come along for moments of genius, and the craziness that surrounds it. Have a nice apocalypse!

This week we discuss the new straight to DVD release - The Devil's Tomb. Starring Cuba Gooding Jr., Ron Perlman, Henry Rollins, Bill Moseley, Stephanie Jacobsen and Ray Winstone.

Plus we say goodbye to Joan Alexander, Kien Shih and David Carradine. And we unveil a new character in our Movie Fan Freakshow  â The Skipper!

And at some point we mentionâ being hopped up on caffine, The Reader, crotchety Schwarzenegger, Barbarella, Lois Lane, John Turturro is just a whiney bitch, Stallone goes Bollywood, Rescue Dawn, why do trailers ruin movies for you?,  more Up, Kate Winslet naked, Darned Love, Total Recall, Woody Guthrie, remaking Blade Runner, China Syndromeâs South American Fanboy Experience, the thinktank over at Lionsgate, Beastmaster love, Werner Herzog, The Haunting in Connecticut trilogy, a modernized American Hamlet, the removable hand, James Cameron, Robert Rodriguez, Sean Connery Jr., Legally Blonde, Maximum Overdrive, Scrimshawing, Enter the Dragon, Henry Rollins is awesome, help us The Rock youâre our only hope, The Silver Chalice, Taken, Castlevania, Commando, Martin Scorsese, Ingmar Bergman and Hal Ashby, the lame London brothers, reeking of hand lotion, haunting all way to the bank, he had green teeth, just how likable John Goodman is, Liam Neeson - he kills good!, animated Tribbles, and the Emilio Estevez coloring contest.

Last we heard, The Devil was filing suit against use of his name in this film.

Can Episode One: The Phantom Menace cure cancer?? We investigate that claim, in this week's Sofa Theater feature - Fanboys. Our own geek gang takes a look at this plot to steal a print of the new Star Wars movie. As well as, we reminisce about the insanity that led up the Episode One release, and recall our own initial reactions to the film. And we profess our undying love for Kristen Bell. Lots of Star Wars geekery plus we address the harsh realities of Geek Wars. How many young dorks will be taken out in the name of Trek vs.Wars? Plus recap last week's outing to the car show, and we discuss some new Trendy Movie Geek items - included the new super-limited edition Movie Meltdown T-shirt!!

And amidst all that we come across...

a metal valkyrie Outfit, a giant crocodile, addressing the new Terminator, Dear Dracula, the most universal reaction I've ever seen to anything cinematically in my life, Up, missing stop motion animation, Natalie Portman Warrior Princess, The Surrogate, Alien, Flight of the Navigator, Ham Salad, selling out is the Dark Side, Bohemian Rhapsody, Quarantine, 1408, Seth Rogan, Ernest Borgnine, Joss Whedon, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, 4Q2 and Artie Deco, William Shatner, our awesome new opening theme, Kevin Smith, cornnuts, Rogue, why won't the Wayans Brothers just stop?, Owen Wilson, Paul Verhoeven, producers follow the money, household appliances, My Little Ponies, pizza in a cup, the animated Star Trek series, cliche Steven King, An entire generation said - Jar Jar ?!, making our own stop motion movies, James McBride, chainmail, Ridley Scott, mirth-filled moments, Jungle 2 Jungle, N64, slave girl Leia, the most impressive geeked out van, Ray Parks, the Weinstein re-cut, Jason Mewes, scram Lumpy!, we need an epic caper, what a martyr, My Little Predator, Buffy the Vampire Slayer - the movie, Hardware Wars, amazing celestial battles ablaze with death-dealing weaponry, all Rush all the time, crazy jungle boy, making your own daggers, ironing your clothes as an alternative to watching a bad movie, space drones, Drag me to Hell, Jason Bateman,12 year olds and pyrotechnics, the podrace scene and metachlorians - WTF?

3 fanboys and 1 fangirl, we be getting down with no delay.

Come on out to the Beatersville Car and Bike Show, where we get all revved up to talk about movies - but mostly we just sit at a table all day. Luckily along the way, we not only discuss HOT ROD GIRL, but we talk to Eddy Price of Th' Empires and even feature an interview segment with Reverend Horton Heat! Plus all that crowd and engine noise to give it real atmosphere. And we round things out with an exclusive movie theme from Th' Empires.

Plus we cruise by these topics: Terminator: Salvation, Bloomington, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, Christian Bale, Nick Nolte, licking Spockâs ears, The Holy Mountain, doing ungodly things to the new Kirk, seeds of the Riddler, Master P and Vagner, Lucy Gordon, metaphysical spaghetti western, Chuck Conners, Bazooka Joe, Downtown 81, Nazi fighting puppets, Big Sky, The Choppers, heâs way fatter then we thought he was, Swingles, Full Moon, Mickey Mouse, Frank Gorshin, Thâ Empires go Crazy, puppies fighting Nazis, Eegah!, grazing the ditch, zombie puppies, losing an eye in WW2, Teens out of control, Following, Puppetmaster: Axis of Evil, PT109, recycling your 3D glassed, Zach Braff, Cameron Diaz, Alejandro Jodorowsky, King Shot, Marilyn Manson, El Topo, geek fights over movies, Asia Argento, PSAâs, a John Deer tattoo, Wayne Allwine, Adult Swim, Dragstrip Girl, wearing a scarf instead of a shirt, is a T-Bird a Hot Rod?, Batman: The Movie, Bronc Talbot, thirty year old kids, Long Play, Norman Rockwell, doing needlework while standing on the hood, I have to hike through the woods two days to see the rotting corpse, running over a small child with a Hot Rod and working with Gene Roddenberry.

SeriouslyâThatâs enough surface noise, take it off the turntable.

This week we sit down and try to understand the complicated universe contained in S. Darko. A movie that by itâs very existence, has caused controversy. We try to look at it as a normal movie, and then we attempt to break it down from the Darko side.

 So, if you have good comprehension of  tangent universes, the manipulated dead, artifacts, the living receiver, vector spirits and the fourth dimensional hypercube, well - you are a uber-geek. As for the rest of you, why not join us as we spoil the hell out of this Darko Tale.

 A note from your Editorâ So for this episode, I came up with an alternative to playing the standard clips from the movie. Instead I've put together a sample of some of the fervor that was worked up as S. Darko was being made. It became an extensive, time consuming process that I began to refer to as, The S. Darko Project. Some of it is ridiculous, some of it is heartfelt, but I think it's a good representation of people's thoughts about the making of this movie. But more than that, it shows the frenzy of Donnieâs fans at the thought of a sequel. I kind of liked the way it turned out. I hope you find it as entertaining as I did.

 PLUSâ we talk to LARRY BLAMIRE director of THE LOST SKELETON OF CADAVRA. He gives us the story of how that movie came to be, updates on the sequel and more of his new projects.

 As if all that wasnât enough in this packed episode we as touch onâ Daveigh Chase, Roky Erickson, a second viewing of Star Trek, Angels and Demons, Frank the bunny, Veronica Cartwright, Tom Woodruff Jr., movies vs. books, there are no pockets in the Ultraman suit, The 13th Floor Elevators, Bait, Tangent Dimensions, hanging out with movie stars, Sparkle Motion, Nathan Fillionâs package, a radioactive monster, being born with extra fingers, the basketball player of all Wookies, literate movie geeks, red car of death, lighting DVDs on fire, Monster Squad, Elizabeth Berkley, the grammatical structure of  new movies, ghosts from the future, Maniston, nice just means she hasnât stabbed you yet, Ed Westwick, douche bag eyes, Sledge Hammer, Gemma Arterton, Ariel the unicorn, White Noise 2, Leonardo DiCaprio, hot freak girl, blowing up your city with a nuclear bomb just to go out in style, Russell Mulcahy, Jekyll and Hyde, Samantha Darko, Heathcliff, the new Sinatra, death threats for Chris Fisher, talking to your handgun, Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe, Dirty Harry on crack, Wuthering Heights, a crabby skeleton, why didnât Kirk rip his shirt?, Steve Zahn, and the puzzling tesseract.

You have been chosen to save the universe and your sacrifice is to listen to this episode.

Episode 21

Travel through space and time with us as we visit the early days of Kirk, Spock, Bones and the rest of the Enterprise gang. With this film, J.J. Abrams risked a horrible death at the hands of Trekkies for the blasphemy of attempting to re-imagine the beloved original Star Trek characters. And yet, somehow he escapes with his life and brings us quite an entertaining movie.

So along with an extensive discussion on the Trek (or Trak as the case may be) we also touch onâWolverine 2 : Logan takes Toyko!!, The Beautiful Washing Machine, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Tomie, devilish creatures, Burt Reynolds, Ryan Reynolds, Deadpool,  The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Midnight Meat Train, Daveigh Chase, Zachary Quinto, Laid to Rest, Keanu Reeves, Angela Bettis, Robert Louis Stevenson, a head in a box, gross red-headed freckly girl with a freckle on her lip, submerging an Audi, Clive Barker, Kristin Bell is hot, Darren Lynn Bousman, Marisa Tomei and Liv Tyler, the continuing projects of Guillermo del Toro, Dom DeLuise, The Wheelman, post-apocalypse movies featuring stars of The Godfather, Transporter 3, Winona Ryder, Next Day Air, Tribes of October, Blade, Chris Pine, teenage partying, a head in a tank, Ray Stevenson, Donât (watch) Mess With The Zohan, Shawn of the Dead, remembering a cute, young Katie Holmes, Roman, Ghostopolis, Lilo and Stitch, headbands that say âNinjaâ, Fatso, Vinnie Jones, Carousel, Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark, suggestive hand movements, Flesh Eating Mothers, The Ultimate Ninja, Pizza the Hutt, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, "Are you out of your Vulcan mind?", Mickey Carroll and Davy Jonesâ Locker.

J.J. Abrams, we're sure you will...Live Long and Profit.

Load up on coffee, chocolate and ammo as we watch Rutger Hauer kick some ass in the futuristic world of 2008. A world where everything is wet, rats are quickly taking over and an extremely mysterious killer is on the loose. Luckily we still have a loose cannon cop like Harley Stone to tote huge guns, defy his superior officer and track down this literal - thief of hearts. Join us in watching this Rutger Hauer classic - Split Second.

As if that wasn't enough to deal with, we also address... Jet pack Nazis, The Squid and the Whale, wise-cracking guinea pigs, Francis Ford Coppola, Drop Dead Fred, Alan Arkin, breaking people in half, just how much pan and scan sucks, The Lone Ranger, Danzig, Red Dawn's scene-stealing snot, David Cronenburg, Night's in White Satin, Able Edwards, Gravedigger's giant tires, Tiny Ron, Bruiser, London, Spawn, Charlie Sheen in actual movies, flashy Star Fleet pins from the cereal box, The Dark Tower, Kim Cattrall should keep her shirt on, the force was with the ATM today, all the things wrong with Wolverine, Old Black Magic, Rumble Fish roots, alternate chromium covers, the teamwork of the Wonder Pets, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito, Videodrome, J.J. Abrams, Wall Street 2, The Rocketeer, and the birth of green screen.

Welcome to the future - of last year!

This week we continue our Daniel Roebuck Double Feature with the lost and mostly forgotten 80's flick - DUDES.  Where punks from the big city travel across the country in a Volkswagen bug and have some wacky road trip moments until a run-in with some murderous psychos. Afterwards the survivors decide to embrace the western spirit and take out some New York-style justice on the killers.

We also feature the second part of our interview with Daniel Roebuck, as he talks about Dudes, drugs, Penelope Spheeris, Rob Zombie, Bubba Ho-Tep almost taking his arm off and accumulating a huge amount of monster collectibles.

And somewhere along the way we mention... American Crime, The Decline of Western Civilization, Brotherhood of Blood, blacking out your windows like a psychopath, Femputer, Daredelvis, Fighting, the last dark level of Super Mario Bros. 3, the lost extra from The Road Warrior, Angelina Jolie looking for a new film franchise, that creepy little kid from Near Dark, the terrific look and odd editing choices of Let the Right One In, old Disney nature narratives, fake vampire teeth, Jayce and the Wheel Warriors, Ackmena the singing cantina owner, Bolt, Russell Crowe in tights, Obscure and cramped thumbs, burning Ellen Page with cigarettes, The Vandels, Rhino in his plastic ball, the punk Chinese restaurant, The new Mechanic, Ridley Scottâs strange project choice, Doomsday, pretending to be Geordi La Forge every time you come in contact with a banana clip, sending kids to prison, Dance of the Dead, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dr. Kay Scarpetta, Robert Rodriguez, the reboot of Predator, punk rock prejudice, hair metal, Machete, Elroy from The Jetsons is annoying, Condition Dead 3D and we thank Bea Arthur for being our friend.

So come play cowboys and Indians with us! (Mohawks are optional.)

Come with us... we want to show you something... down by the river.

This week we kick off our Daniel Roebuck Double Feature with RIVER'S EDGE, the frighteningly realistic portrait of murder in a small town and the deconstruction of society as a whole. It's a heavy movie with an impressive cast and stark yet beautiful visuals. Come back with us as we revisit a time when kids played video games and listened to metal, the world was still on the brink of nuclear annihilation - and no one knew they were supposed to dislike Keanu Reeves...yet.

We also feature part one of our interview with Daniel Roebuck as well as these and many other random things... Zac Efron, narrowing down the movies that are important to you, Russell Crowe, vampire venom, Megan Fox's thumbs, The Last Unicorn, Guillermo del Toro, The Hobbit, vampire piggy-back rides, the bees, not the bees, sappy direction, Big Wolf on Campus, Michael Bay's little movie, Sofia Coppola, Stephen Dorff, I, Frankenstein, The Red Bull, Crank: High Voltage, a constipated vampire, how awesome Dennis Hopper is, rediscovering the band America, sleeveless denim jackets, our favorite inflatable sex doll, a tribute to Marilyn Chambers, the gorgeous young Ione Skye, cliches of high school teen life, Behind the Green Door, Ed OâNeil, birthday wishes to someone we don't know, a pop singer with really dorky hair, cool classic cars and our upcoming appearance and a crazy lady singing the Dawson's Creek theme song.

All we know is... the check's in the mail!!

Seagal. What can you say about the man? He's an American institution - of bad film. And he certainly doesn't stray from that area this week, as we watch AGAINST THE DARK. Steven and some other random losers attempt to fight off a whole world (and hospital) of vampire/zombies. It's a rip-off of several genre films, haphazardly pieced together with a lead that can barely deliver lines, let alone keep his seams from bursting. As he gets older and heavier, his acting gets worse - and so do his movies. But that doesn't stop us from having a good time discussing the problems.

All that plus Hannah Montana, the super secret Venom script, Rob Zombie's Heavy Metal, Piranha 3D, Elizabeth Shue, Brittany Murphy, Liam Neeson is Zeus, Keith David, Dogma, Last of the Mohicans, the fact that we are not above bribes, the awesomeness of Psycho, vampire baseball, David Arneson, green prosthetics covered James Marsters and our new character for the Movie Fan Freakshow - The Crow Guy.

So, watch out... Steven Seagal is gonna do to you, what he's been doing to that cheeseburger.

This week the movie geek gang welcomes our special guest Martin into the studio to join us for our usual brand of shenanigans. Then we head to the Sofa Theater to watch the handsome gun-slinger Dum and his upper-crust lover Rumpoey pine away for each other, while he and his friends gun down a lot of people. With outstanding visuals and an amazing color palette, TEARS OF THE BLACK TIGER is an cinematic experience all it's own.

Plus we touch on these and many other topics: Yamagata, plastination, Jovovich, goose-stepping Nazi zombies, Nicolas Cage's chest hair, did Ray Stevenson sing The Streak?, Anthony Hopkins's rap career, Confucious, Beat Poets, Monster Attack Network, Solid Snake, Fidy Cent and the The Expendables, Gobstopper, feeling sad about Liam Neeson's wife and the bad guy from TimeCop, movie premieres in Thailand, working on the set of Terminator 3 and Fight Club, slapping around a large piece of meat, next week's road trip and rocking out with The Dead Next Door.

This episode is teeth-shattering fun!!

The year was 1986, and the world anxiously awaited the next big project from George Lucas. With Lucas's clout, the writers of the latest Indiana Jones feature, a sizeable budget and shiny new special effects equipment - the possibilities were limitless. Then Howard reared his duck-billed head - and more than twenty years later, movie fans still haven't recovered. So re-live the timeless tale of a cigar-chomping, beer swilling, foul-mouthed fowl that gets sucked across the universe - only to hook up with one of Earth's hottest chicks. Weird? Yes. Entertaining? Well, that seems to be a matter of opinion.

So aside from posing  the creepy question of interspecies intercourse, we also talk about "The Goon", the irreplaceable Pennywise, reboots of movies made only a couple of years ago and the ego on Vin Diesel for comparing himself to Coppola and his films to Tolkien?

So DUCK in here with us as we and our listeners address the finer points of the 80's cliche classic that is HOWARD THE DUCK!

Movie Meltdown - Episode 12

You take the good, you take the bad, you take 'em both and there you have - Watchmen?? Well, something like that. This episode we tackle the alternate world of WATCHMEN. A world on the brink of nuclear annihilation. A world where costumed heroes exact vigilante justice. And a world exposed (quite regularly) to blue "man goods".

So we give our thoughts on the new superhero blockbuster - but mostly we just keep talking about Dr. Manhattan's glowing sex organs. Well that, and we get off on several tangents. Luckily we balance it out with a terrific interview with Martha Colburn - a filmmaker, and true visual artist. I guess, we hope that makes up for rest of the pervy conversations. But what can we do? One of our cast is obsessed with blue "man goods". But don't worry, she's getting help.

Movie Meltdown - Episode 8

Sit back and relax as we tell you the sweet story of an ambitious young girl, off to seek her fortune in a magical land called - Vegas. That's right, this week we place our bets on whether we can handle the "classic" film - SHOWGIRLS!
