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.
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...
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.
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...
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.
Computers predicting the future, the mysterious Kryptos 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 cryptoanalysts can't crack? And what is the story behind the wisdom of the Georgia Guidestones? Listen and find out!
Don't get your hopes up, this isn't our final episode...
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?
The Beatles, AC/DC, The Eagles, Elvis, CCR...
From Killer Klowns to Frailty, the boys go over great moments from dubious classics like Sleepaway Camp and Stephen King's Pet Semetary (remember Zelda?) with their friend Mudoogul Mudslinger.
