Calvin's Canadian Cave of Cool

We examine the films nominated for a coveted Oscar this year and mostly say WTF? Who nominated TOP GUN: MAVERICK and what the heck were they smoking? We talk enthusiastically about nominations for BRENDAN FRASIER, MICHELLE YEOH and KE HUY QUAN and many others. We also talk about the state of Politics here in our home country of CANADA and we complain about how the DC Cinematic Universe is being decimated! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/balloonjuice/message

In which our stalwart hosts review PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH, M3GAN, GLASS ONION and, of course RRR, probably the most insanely entertaining film of 2022! Hold on to your toques! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/balloonjuice/message

WE'RE BACK! For an amazing THIRD SEASON! In this episode we talk about all the stuff we're GOING to see but haven't because of a few technical SNAFU's. We talk about KILLER ROBOT DOLLS in Gerard Johnstone's M3GAN! And what episode of the show would be complete without dunking on MILLIE BOBBIE BROWN in ENOLA HOLMES 2. Plus we discuss the clown show that is the new House of Representatives and their inability to elect a speaker. And we disparage the overbloated, three hour endurance marathon that is AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/balloonjuice/message

BALLOON JUICE proudly presents its first QUESTIONNAIRE! These 15 questions were designed to dig deep into your soul and pull from the depths feelings and opinions that weren't meant to be reveled into the light of day! Questions about SANDWICHES! STAR WARS vs STAR TREK! VACATIONS! But also, questions about LOVE, FEAR, LOATHING and LEISURE TIME! Listen as Cal and MD have their deepest emotions stripped raw! As they reveal the depths of their souls and their innermost feelings about love, loss and whether or not a cheeseburger can be classified as a sandwich. Listen as we reveal our secret love for FLOWERS, the SEASONS and how we really feel about SOCKS with SANDALS! Can you listen all the way through this episode as Cal and MD bare their souls, spill their guts and reveal their innermost selves! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/balloonjuice/message

In which Cal and MD debate the merits of Christopher Walken as the Padishah Emperor in Denis Villaneuve's DUNE PART 2. We also name drom AVATAR, WILLOW, INDY 5 (and cringe a bit as we remember Shia LeBouf...shudder...) Bad CGI in the SHE-HULKI Trailer and the changes that have occurred in the Comic Book Industry. The art's just not what it used to be, Man! Calvin spins a dream of his own YOUTUBE Channel and waxes about the glory that it TODDLERS & TIARAS, DANCE MOMS, KAREN videos and the always popular AIRPORT FREAKOUT videos. We also weigh in on the gun control debate and ponder what could be the greatest season of SURVIVOR ever: SURVIVOR FROZEN NORTH!!!!! It's GOLDEN, folks! GOLDEN PATH, Golden! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/balloonjuice/message

In which we begin with a LAMENT FOR LOST CATS before we get down to serious business. THE BOYS: SEASON 3, we talk about the first three episode's of Amazon Prime's Superhero Series. TOP GUN: MAVERICK, Tom Cruise's latest Guy Porn movie proves too much for Calvin. THE ORVILLE: SEASON 3 has made it's move to hulu and become more serious and is gunning for STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS which is still going very strong! Not to be outdone, though, streaming giant Disney Plus has OBI WAN KENOBI a new limited series to appeal to all you STAR WARS fanboys! We also talk about the state of the world and we can't do that without mentioning the MONKEYPOX which leads into Calvin's research about syphilis, of all things. Well, we live in a filthy world according to science. We end the show by ranting about the trouble we have with our keyboards. It's all PURE GOLD this week! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/balloonjuice/message

In which CALVIN and MD talk about TERRIBLE MOVIES, many of which were perpetrated by MEL BROOKS. Cal talks about his profile at the UNFINISHED MAN website and recalls the time he got SHOT IN THE FACE and the resultant PTSD. We also examine the phenomena of PRONOUNS and MD breaks it all down for you. We also talk about making one's life more manageable as one ages. Also FUCK DR. PHIL! And FUCK DREW BARRYMORE and FUCK DR OZ and the whole Republican Party for trying to overturn ROE vs. WADE and, while we're at it FUCK THE FREEDOM CONVOY and their abhorrent BATHROOM HABITS. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/balloonjuice/message

WE'RE BACK AGAIN with more insightful talk about the world! STRANGE NEW WORLDS, the best new Star Trek series in years! NATALIE PORTMAN'S GOT GUNS! We talk about THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER, Taika Waititi's upcoming Marvel flick. And, of course, we have to weigh in on the TRUCKER CONVOY, the JOHNNY DEPP and AMBER HEARD trial and all of its shenanigans! PLUS: WHAT IS PUTIN'S PROBEM, ANYWAY? We analyze the conflict in UKRAINE! Plus TIK-TOK GIRLS and we catch up with the milestones that have made CALVIN'S CANADIAN CAVE OF COOL cooler than it has ever been! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/balloonjuice/message

After a hiatus that has lasted for more than a year BALLON JUICE IS BACK! We begin by acknowledging the passing of comic book giants GEORGE PEREZ and NEAL ADAMS. We talk about MOON KNIGHT and DOCTOR STRANGE AND THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS. We examine the mess that is the DC CINEMATIC UNIVERSE and the unfortunate antics of Ezra Miller, star of the upcoming FLASH movie. On the plus side, we have lots of good things to say about THE BATMAN and James Gunn's THE PEACEMAKER series. Most importantly, though we talk about Calvin's quest to purchase a DOCTOR STRANGE bucket of large popcorn. SPOILERS ABOUND in this episode, so BE WARNED! And we also need to apologize for the sound quality. It was due to a bad internet connection and a very old, Marconi-era microphone and not the fact that Calvin drank so many vodkas before we started recording. That had nothing to do with it. We deny that completely! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the TRIMPHANT RETURN of BALLOON JUICE! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/balloonjuice/message

In a shorter, but no less jam-packed follow up to our last episode, Calvin and MD talk knowledgeably about ARTISAN SOAPS, the return to television of PUNKY BREWSTER and FRASIER before getting into our thoughts about Marvel's WANDAVISION and other Marvel products coming to theaters (maybe?) or DISNEY+. Calvin talks about how he will hate-watch the Snyder cut of JUSTICE LEAGE and reviews a Netflix documentary MURDER AMONGST THE MORMONS. Along the way we touch on QANON, Harold Camping, POUTINE, mixing up boxes of cereal and marketing them as MIX-UPS and Neapolitan ice cream. Come for the conversation, stay for the snacks! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/balloonjuice/message

After a two-month hiatus, WE'RE BACK! What? Did we go somewhere nice? Yeah, sure. We went to Cancun. NO! What do you think? We're Canadian. We endured the winter as all patriotic Canadians do! But spring is coming and we're talking about RUSH LIMBAUGH, Alex Jones, PINNOCHIO (and I plug a very good Canadian short film called WOODMAN made by a buddy of mine). We cover DOCTOR PIMPLE POPPER, Lola Bunny, MISTER POTATO HEAD, Hugo, Doctor Seuss, CPAC, Ted Cruz, COVID ENNUI and the vaccinations that can't come fast enough. Calvin reviews a Korean film called THE SWORDSMAN, and a Netflix series THE AGE OF THE SAMURAI. We also review the CW's latest DC superhero show SUPERMAN & LOIS. Sure, it's a lot of rambling nonsense, but it's GOLD PLATED rambling nonsense! ...and it's part one of a TWO PART SPECIAL! Look for part 2 very soon! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/balloonjuice/message

Recorded before the recent attempt to overthrow the government, this is the episode where we review all the terrible things that happened in 2020. Ahh, how we long for such simpler times now, eh? For some reason we begin with a discussion about LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE. I don't know why. Along the way we namedrop JOHN SAXON, SEAN CONNERY, DIANNA RIGG, CHADWICK BOSEMAN, CHARLIE PRYDE, JOHN LE CARRE and others. Along the way Cal reviews WW84 and we talk about the Season 2 Finale of THE MANDALORIAN. PART ONE OF TWO! (Maybe three). --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/balloonjuice/message

With the movie houses shut down due to Covid and the recent announcement that Warner Brothers is teaming up with HBO Max for same day streaming releases of all their upcoming films, we speculate about what's going to happen to the movie houses. Is going to the movies a passé concept? Are the movies dead? What will happen to the existing movie theaters? Will this be their chance to become something more than just distribution outlets for the big movie chains? We also talk about STAR WARS and THE MANDALORIAN, because you know what we're like we can't stay on topic any better than a Stormtrooper can hit a target. I think even Millie Bobbie Brown gets dragged into it at one point. I can't remember. Yes, we were a little inebriated. In these waning days of the Pandemic, who isn't? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/balloonjuice/message

In which Calvin relays the tale of his PANIC ATTACK AT THE SAFEWAY! We talk PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS and the anticipation of the vaccines. Mysterious monoliths popping up all over the world, KRAMPUS and his ilk, plus Rudy Giuliani's star witness, MELISSA CARONE. She's peach, with her Renée Zellweger hair and her second best glasses. Why are you still reading this? Press play, dammit! Podcast gold awaits you! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/balloonjuice/message

What? Another episode? Holy Crap! I'm as surprised as you are! Smoking, drinking and other bad habits. Calvin tells about a recent trip to a local establishment selling refined and perfectly legal, combustible recreational, all natural relaxation products (snicker). Mike prefers a drink but Calvin is a sloppy drunk. Life, cats, the internet, the world, Non PC humour and TAN MOM? All this plus, for a change NO talking smack about Millie Bobbi Brown! (Ahhh... who are we kidding, of course we do. It's in our contract at this point). All sponsored by HAMBURGER HELPER! (Hah! We wish!) Sit back, relax, be cool and listen to your podcast pals as we talk about all things cool. Hey, man, why are your eyes so red? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/balloonjuice/message

But first, Calvin gives a mixed but enthusiastic review of THE SECRET SOCIETY OF SECOND BORN ROYALS and marvels over Miles Morales' cat from the SPIDER MAN video game. The swedes are not amused by DONALD DUCK and his flagrant disregard for pants. We mark the passing of music Legend Johnny Nash who sang the theme song for THE MIGHTY HURCULES, a Canadian animated classic series. Cal also spends some time ranting about THE BANANA SPLITS and MILLIE BOBBI BROWN (I think it's in our contract at this point... at least once an episode). Calvin reviews the classic 70's SF thriller CAPRICORN ONE. HALLOWEEN CANDY, VALENTINES CHOCOLATE and the various new iterations of STAR TREK. Calvin misses THE AMAZING RACE and, like any rational adults, we discuss the merits of PIZZA POPS and CORN DOGS and other culinary delights that can be had at your local convenience store for a mere pittance! It's great stuff, this week, folks! You gotta listen! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/balloonjuice/message

As we shiver in anticipation of the dreaded SECOND WAVE Cal and MD discuss the important things like HILLBILLY TERRORISTS, ROBOT DOGS, KILLER AI, CHADWICK BOSEMAN, NAMOR, Michael Jai White and why black actors could be big box office draws but aren't allowed to be, America's Dick, Trump's America, The Proud Boys hashtag gets corrupted by George Takei, Jerry Falwell Jnr. is a bad boy, THE BOYS SEASON 2, PERRY MASON, Tatiana Maslany - is she Hulk or is she ain't SHE-HULK? We look forward to season 2 of THE MADALORIAN and, of course, what would an episode of BALLOON JUICE be without a rant about MILLIE BOBBIE BROWN? (You guessed it, we review ENOLA HOLMES). It's a parade of pop culture from a uniquely Canadian perspective! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/balloonjuice/message

DEADLY SHARKS! PANT STEALING BISON! Trump committing election fraud by destroying the post office and it's being carried out in broad daylight! A REAL GIANT ROBOT in Yokohama, Japan! CAPTAIN FUNKATEER FUNK SWAGGER'S third big album drop on a dental theme! All that plus THE NEW MUTANTS! Okay, yeah, this one was late. I should have uploaded it last week because it's getting a bit ripe, but listen anyway. It's still Balloon Juice, and any time is a good time for that no matter what the vintage. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/balloonjuice/message

In which our heroes, Cal and M.D., reflect on how Luke Skywalker is just some radicalized Jedi kid from a desert shithole planet. That leads us to a discussion of DUNE which leads us to MOBY DICK and via Bill Sienkiewicz, to THE NEW MUTANTS, LEGION and a discussion of comic books as pop culture.
