We drink, we cuss, we discuss film but mostly we repeat, "This is not a Goonies podcast."...at least that was the initial idea. With COVID-19 sending everyone into quarantine we decided to publish a season under the same moniker but with a slightly different format. We're calling it, "Season Zero" We realize that antisocial distancing isn't the best example to set but we've limited production meetings to digital and set a monthly meet instead of weekly. We invite you to join us once a month, for an hour or so, as we aim to better understand what can be done in order to slow the progression of this latest virus. In this season we'll be discussing films we believe best parallel that progression without inducing too much panic. because...well, we would've been doing it any way. Some of the films we'll be discussing are alarmingly close in accurately depicting scenarios that seem so familiar you'd swear they were prophecy! The CDC and WHO are cited regularly to keep accurate updates. We are in no way experts on most of the topics we discuss, except when noted
Due to the recent Covid-19 case spikes in Texas, recording episodes of Hey, You Guys! has presented some issues. However, We've decided to release an episode of another show which we were planning to run simultaneously with Hey, You Guys!This episode was recorded on May 7th, 2020.Welcome to the first episode of Lapses in Synapses a show where we relate, debate and humiliate! This first episode is titled "On the Surface" we get down and dirty about tattoos and the taboos they once held, Star Wars, Star Trek, Dragonball Z, video games, anime, and the most difficult piece Jason has ever had to do. Join host Marc Herrera and co-host Martin Alonzo as they converse with Local tattoo artist, Jason Lozano, on tattooing and learning how to art. Jason was a huge factor in igniting the San Antonio Geek Art scene. Listen in as he shares stories of his experiences with his fluent in Klingon cousin Jessie, drunken nightmares in his tattoo shop, and find out about a tag-team tattooing of Jason's "no-no" spot!Definitely a fun time! XDEnjoy!
A lot of the content in this episode is outdated and the facts presented may have changed. We sincerely apologize for the delay...but it will probably happen again. ~The HYG CrewAt the time of recording this episode (05.28.20), most people had been quarantined for at least a solid month. During this time, a lot of us have turned to our streaming services to self soothe...Netflix, HULU, Shutter, and so on have been our go-to. As mentioned in previous episodes, pandemic type movies have hit another wave of popularity...which makes sense. By showing such real-world experiences, like epidemics/outbreaks, within the confines of a story, it makes it easier for people to absorb and explore the “what-ifs” of the situation while sitting in the safety of their living room. By giving such stories a beginning, middle, and end, it gives people the feeling that the real crisis will also have an eventual ending.But...there’s another major genre many people are re-visiting.So, COVID-19...we know it ends either in death or recovery...but let’s suspend disbelief, and introduce the Zed word. Zombie outbreaks have similar starts and causes vary. Sometimes origins are wildly fictional. Other times the source of a zombie apocalypse is unknown. Whether vir or aiborne, what happens if the next big pandemic creates a league of the undead? How will our government react? Do you think you could survive?Fact is, zombies don’t exist...at least not yet...so then why are they so popular? Fear films have used zombies as metaphors for much deeper fears held by society for decades and decades. Fear of primitive or dissimilar cultures, Communism, Atomic destruction, mass contagion.However, it's our perpetual fear of one another as a civilization which seems to present the biggest hurdle. A society set in the ways of an outdated idealogy, a lopsided judicial system and corrupt institutional structuring and if present day happenings don't have you convinced I'm sure nothing will.In this episode, we’ll be exploring these and other questions as we go through some zombie flicks we kinda remember. I’m Marty, welcome to another fucking podcast!Today, I am joined once again by Marc, Ernest, Andrew, and the ever reluctant, Naomi. So, thanks for tuning in…sit back, relax, and “Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think…”**All original music in this episode created by Rene Rendon except "Goodbye Horses" written by Q Lazzarus.***All Sound Clips and music courtesy of a bunch of other people's hard work and used for mildly entertaining emphasis.
If you weren't sick of hearing about it already, we talk some more COVID-19 stats and weigh-in our personal experiences on today's post-covid climate scale!Plus, listen in as we give Andrew, the Boy in the plastic bubble, shit for "self-quarantining" via phone call.If you enjoy #shittyhashtags, half drunken mutterings on under researched topics and movies we vaguely remember, this should be right up yer alley!
Hey, You Guys - Season Zero Official Pre-Premier!In this first Episode we'll be discussing what Hollywood has taught us about outbreaks and pandemics. We'll also dive into our take of some of the conspiracy theories floating around out there: ending with our personal thoughts and fears regarding Covid-19.We initially planned on releasing or first episode in the summer of 2020. However, Coronavirus had other plans. Everyone is either panicking or going into quarantine. Depression, panic, fear and reality are setting in. Our hope is that this season can help you pass the time and hopefully bring you a little piece of mind that you are not alone in this.So thanks for tuning in. Sit back, relax and "Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think..."
