Sean, Greg and Gary return to talk about the magic of the 80’s and the genius of Charlie Sheen.

Listen Now!

Saturday, April 2, 2011

"This is a particularly bad one..." Greg

Sean, Greg and Lynn talk about the casting choices for The Dark Knight Rises, Splice, Return to Frogtown, and Dolph Lundgren's upcoming movie, In the Name of the King 2. But is that enough to make Greg happy? No. He says this episode sucks.

You be the judge...

Saturday, February 12, 2011

Episode 127... Romantic Comedies!


Despite some technical difficulties talking across the world, Sean and Greg connect with Lynn to celebrate Valentine's Day with a tribute to Romantic Comedies. It starts with When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle and leads to Patrick Dempsey's Made of Honor and Gerard Butler's predilection towards bad boy roles in the Bounty Hunter and the Ugly Truth. But somehow it goes from Love Actually to horror exploitation like The Human Centipede (which has nothing to do with Romantic Comedy). Plus a little more talk about TRON: Legacy.

Sunday, January 30, 2011

Episode 126... Sex in Space!



And other topics.

From 3-D to HD to V to Zero-G, Sean, Greg, Lynn and Tracy talk about everything from cannibalism to carnal pleasure in the outer atmosphere. So you've been warned, Gretchen. This might not be one for the kids.

TVAMD Presents "The C Word, Part 1"


The release of this segment is in no way a promise to release subsequent episodes in a timely fashion. This story is themed around Christmas, having taken place at Christmastime, so I'll try to have to have all the episodes out by next Christmas. Fair enough?

Saturday, January 1, 2011

TVAMD Vidcast: The Baldwin Challenge, Part 1


We recorded this a while ago, so Mr. Baldwin is probably past his retirement crisis, but all the same Sean, Dane and Greg take a whack at his career woes. Is his concern about his leading man roles valid or is he an accomplished character actor with nothing to be ashamed of?

What a way to spend the last episode of the year...


Sunday, December 5, 2010

Episode 122... Lord of the Rings, Part 2!

Saturday, November 20, 2010

Episode 121... Lord of the Rings!

Sean, Greg and Lynn look at the unsung heroes of Lord of the Rings. From Glorfindel to figwit, they discuss characters who didn't make it out of the book and those who were never in it at all.

Episode 114... How We'd Do Highlander!

Everyone loves to poke at the Highlander sequels, and truth be told they make it easy. But with a remake right around the bend, maybe we should direct a little reconstructive criticism towards how the sequels should be handled this time around.


Sunday, July 11, 2010
