As the hosts of TV Ate My Dinner explore the mystery of the Georgia Guidestones, Sean breaks all horror movie rules and disturbs an offering to the celestial pole hole by poking it with a stick. This should not be done.
The boys get with Lynn to talk about guerilla filmmaking and amateur video production, and indirectly prove that social networking outlets like Facebook are destroying our ability to communicate with each other.
Plus, Sean has finally seen Inglorious Basterds, so is qualified to form an opinion.
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?
The boys go from strip clubs, peep shows and porno to Kenneth Branaugh's Hamlet in this episode that's supposed to be about musicals. They compare the relative merits of standards like Phantom of the Opera, Grease and the King & I to novelties like Rocky Horror, Bat Boy and Evil Dead the Musical. 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.
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?
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. From the Mego Star Trek dolls to the Six Million Dollar Man, the boys reminisce about the great toys from the seventies and eighties.
Listen Now!
This Season Premiere marks the 2 year anniversary of TVAMD, and the boys celebrate by going back to where it all began: Talking about Transformers!
In this epic Season Finale, the boys discuss the unsung (or perhaps improperly appreciated) heroes of Star Wars. Who are the people (and in some cases, the characters) who made Star Wars great? And who got left behind as it became what it is today?
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.
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...
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...
Listen Now!
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.
Brooks and Sean join with David to discuss the growing roster of Summer movies. From Star Trek and Wolverine to Terminator and the new Transformers, they discuss everything down to Harry Potter and Quentin Tarantino.
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.
The Exorcist, Jaws, the Howling, American Werewolf in London, Halloween, Friday the 13th, Killer Klowns from Outer Space...
We're covering it all in this one. Plus the boys discuss the Nightmare on Elm Street remake with our good friend Mudoogul Mudslinger, the horror of 2 girls 1 cup, and the impending doom of the swine flu!
Time travel, repeating days, Jack the Ripper, Nostradamus...The boys cover another set of scifi cliches that it's probably time to retire.
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.
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...
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!
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...
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...
Listen Now!
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.
