Podcasts – The SomethingSomethingCast

Hey all – in our years of doing this, we have rarely used this space to talk about politics, well.. some things are too important. No matter what, make sure you vote. Audio: An Important Message from the Somethings

Look, we didn’t lie…  But yes, this is a new episode. No, we’re not back…  But yes, this is a new episode. There’s a couple reasons, the first of which is the show EVIL ended and we need to talk about. The other, well, you’ll just have to listen to the episode to find out, won’t you? Full Episode

What started 11 years ago in an apartment was two guys with two microphones wondering what to talk about. Now, 11 years, hundreds of episodes, dozens of guests, and an unending number of laughs later.. we end with two guys with microphones. Before we get into the good-byes, let me just say that the week to week Somethingcast is ending, but the website and all of the episodes will remain here for a long time to come and there is every chance that you may see the occasional post or update from the podcast feed. Between Livestream for the Cure, Christmas Parties, or just because Rob and I are really horrible at putting stuff down, this is goodbye, but we will definitely stop back in from time to time to see if we remember how to do it. That said, let’s get to the farewells. First, we thank Big Matt for letting us take our bow without him. The last few months he has been an amazing cohost and added a new spin on the fact that the two of us know each other so well. Thank you for that, and we look forward to working with you on whatever comes next. From Hatton: Geez, writing this was harder than recording that episode. Whether you have been a fan or friend of mine from the Rabble days or the IHL days or just because we met somewhere out on an adventure.. I want to thank you for your love and support and for just being a part of my journey and letting me be a part of yours. You know as well as I do that this isn’t the last time I’ll try and entertain you, but that doesn’t mean that ending this chapter of over a decade doesn’t sting. Anyway, so long and thanks for all the fish.   From PCR: Not sure what to say here that I haven’t brought up in one way or another in the last few episodes, except to say that this has been an amazing journey and I wouldn’t change any of it for the world.  The places we’ve gone and people we’ve met thanks to this silly little show.. well.. none of it would have been possible without it.  To anyone we’ve met, interviewed, hooked us up, and/or listened…  my sincerest thanks.  As James said, this won’t be the last time I, he, or we try to entertain you.  To quote Winnie the Pooh “How lucky I am that have something that makes saying goodbye so hard”. So, one last time… Okay here we go! Full Episode

Good evening Ratbrains! For the last of the 1-Star Movie Reviews, the Somethings have chosen the creme de la crap, a veritable feast for the senses.. as long as the only thing your senses recognize is the color blue. We are talking about the Travolta & Xenu vehicle that is Battlefield Earth. Was this movie deserving of its many many many awards? Was it worth the time of actors like Forrest Whitaker and Kim Coates? Are we, a species, doomed to forget everything we’ve known because of the scourge of SIKO and OLOGY or whatever the crap they talk about? Find out on this week’s 1-Star Movie Review: Battlefield Earth Ok, here Xenu Full Episode

We’re back in the Elevator and it wouldn’t be right to leave without visiting one of the greatest guests of Somethingcast history – the man whose guest appearances now achieves double digits. The comic guru, the writing wizard, the beef that is.. Tim ‘Ungajje’ Stevens. Tim is here to judge what he thinks the best call is for the next phase of the MCU. Will it be those rascally mutants? Galactus? Shao Khan whining? It could be anything!

..we’re here.  When we talked about putting the chairs up and turning off the lights, we had a dozen or so episodes to go and now we are down the last month.  We hope you don’t mind if we get a little bit self-indulgent. Over the last 11 years we have laughed a lot, talked to amazing guests, and had experiences that could only exist in the Somethingverse, so please join us as we go back and talk about some of our favorite episodes and moments. Also, you may learn some stories we’ve never told, but now, why the hell not.. we’re not going to get cancelled or anything.

The year was 1995 – the world of videogame nerds was overtaken by the cinema masterpiece that was Mortal Kombat.  ..ok, fine, it wasn’t a masterpiece, but it was kinda badass. The year was 1997 – the world of videogame nerds realized something had gone horribly wrong and the movie studio was trying to cash-in on the IP and gave us Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. So now, what happens when the Somethings go back in time, choose their Kombatent and rise through the ranks to fight against the villanous Shao Khan.. who is apparently not the Emporer of the Outworld trying to take over the Overworld… he is, apparently, a whiny Italian man whose father really pulls the strings. Maybe. We don’t know. Test your might – and your stomach this week on 1-Star Movie: Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Okay here we g–MORTAL KOMBAT, duhn duhn duhn du duhn! Full Episode

If you listen to us semi-regularly, you know that we were once again a part of the amazing Livestream For The Cure event this past month. With friend of the show and the Jerry Lewis of podcasting charity events, Nick Haskins at the helm, we once again go into the elevator and ask a man with a giant check if we could use it… for what? Well, this week we are taking a video game franchise and turning it into a movie, or vice versa. That’s not all you get in this episode, as afterwards we hang out with the Livestream crew and talk movies, Furiosa, a bit about the show ending, and just generally merrymake with our ‘For the Cure’ family.  We want to thank everyone involved and everyone that stuck around and donated during our time. That said, the event is over, but there is never a bad time to donate and help to live in a world without cancer. With that said, enjoy the show!  Ok, here we go… Full Episode

This week on In The Beginning, the Somethings are stomping on their homeland of NJ and looking at the first episode of a landmark show in television, The Sopranos. This show may have started the cable television revolution, but does it hold up? Does the awareness of mental health in a world of mobsters still ring with uniqueness? And what’s with the ducks, anyway? Find out the answers to this question, and a whole lot more on this week The Beginning: The Sopranos Ok, here we fugeddaboutit… that hurt to write. Full Episode  

Somethings! If you’ve been listening for a long enough time, you are well aware that we have issues. Tons of them. Long boxes full of them. And when we get together and start talking, sometimes the best thing to do is just leave your issues on the table and talk them out. So join us as we each pick some of our favorite issues of comics. Some because they are shining moments of our favorite characters, others because of the art, and even othersbecause they are the embodiment of the stories we like. So grab a stack of funnybooks and play along by listening to Our Favorite Comic Issues. Ok, here we go! (Prismatic Foil Edition) Full Episode  

The Somethings are in the elevator.. but this time, it’s creepy and it’s spooky.. altogether ookey. It does, in fact, yearn for our sweet sweet brain meats which is why this week’s Elevator Pitch challenge is to Reinvent the Zombie. Now, who is our guest CEO with the big money zomb check?  Artist, creator, and long-time zombie enthusiast, Nick ‘Ghostfreehood’ DiFabbio. You may have seen Nick’s work on a multitude of webcomic projects, on the poster of your local indie show, at SuperArtFight, or at his homebase studio of CherryMothCake.com  where you can find posters, shirts, enamel pins, toys, and his card game Blade of the Badlands.

It’s time to talk about the beginning of a show that many heralded as the next big thing, and it had its four seasons and went… but, was it a Success? We are obviously discussing the journey of the Roy family and the control of RoyCo. A gaggle of children and relatives all battle it out for control of a billion dollar empire. Will it be the political darling? The weird hippy? The hedon? The kiss-ass? It’s one giant eff’d up Brady Bunch at the top of the skyscraper. So join us in our ivory tower as we look at the pilot episode of a show that said ‘who needs dragons and robots for a big money HBO!?’ and flew off on its private helicoptor.  Find out on this week’s episode of The Beginning: Succession Okay here we go! Full Episode

Sure, movies have cool action and actors and Bay-splosions.. but have you ever just looked at all of the stuff?! From laser guns to cool hats, from space ships to candy – Hollywood can make anything cool. So the Somethings are going to talk about some of their favorite movie objects. Whether they are one off tools or the whole maguffin – these are the things that make the fantastic worlds become a reality. So join us as we discuss our Favorite Movie Props! Ok, here we ooooh, dude did you see that wallet? It said bad mother fu– you get it. Full Episode

We get 5 weeks in April, that’s 20% better than your average month when it comes to Somethingcast episodes. So what do we do? We lug out the ol’ Wheel and spin to find out what we’re talking about.. and lo and behold this week we got Creator Spotlight – and who is the guest? Why none other than Nick Haskins, one of the originators of long-running podcast Epic Film Guys, twitch streamer over at Nikolai’s Kitchen, and podcasting yet again over at Two Peas On A Pod.  And every one of those would be enough to celebrate Nick, but he also is the creator, host, and modern day Jerry Lewis of the Livestream For The Cure – a weekend of entertainment from podcasters with the goal to imagine a world without cancer. The Somethingcast has been honored to be part of the event the last few years and we can’t wait to do it again.

Sometimes the Somethings don’t want to podcast… they want to rock and roll all night, and party every day – but sometimes.. instead of even doing that, they want to go to an amusement park to see a band that may or may not live there and discover the secrets of the evil scientist that is building an army of robots. Oh, and also, the Somethings have magical powers in this situation. No, we haven’t had them before. No, we’re not explaining them to you. So find out when we find out we aren’t the only folks who have had that adventure – weird huh? On 1-STAR MOVIE REVIEW – KISS: PHANTOM OF THE PARK Ok, here we go back to callin… cause we won’t be home tonight Full Episode

It’s well established the Somethings enjoy a show that takes place in a mysterious location with a bunch of people unsure of what’s gone on. Well, in his first selection for The Beginning, Big Matt has provided us with one that slipped through our cracks.. he has given us a bit of a Twin Peek at a little show Lost called Wayward Pines. This Matt Dillon vehicle covers all the bases – strange location, the audience knowing secrets the characters don’t, secrets on secrets on secrets, and… M Nigh Shyamalan?! So is this show just another Leftover or was it a gem caught on the Fringe? …flash forward, heroes, persons unknown, i-land… Find out on The Beginning: Wayward Pines Ok, here we have to go back… kinda. Full Episode

Everyone has that show.. you know that show – the one you were the repository of knowledge for. The show you didn’t miss week to week. You were on the Usenet forum, had built a vanity page for it on AOL, your entire Livejournal icon system was built around your favorite character’s moods. You WERE this show… which apparently aired in 2005. Anyway, as the years went on, you started to feel that maybe.. just maybe.. it got a bit long in the tooth. Then the tooth turned into a tusk. This week, we are discussing shows that overstayed their welcome – maybe by a year, maybe by a decade. Grab a fish biscuit, and settle in for Shows That Went On Too Long… And please, make sure to listen all the way through, the last selection may shock you. Ok, here we keep going… Full Episode

Look, in the early 80s there were two ways to make a ton of money… the first was a lot of cocaine. The second, which sometimes included the first, was to make something that people who were squinting may think they were watching something Star Wars related. Enter the checkerpatterned opera that is Space Raiders. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll swear you saw this footage before. Find out what the hell that means on 1-Star Movie Review: Space Raiders Ok, here we go Over The Top! Full Episode

The Somethings are back in that elevator.. they have ideas and they want someone to buy! Take a movie, a not-so-scary movie – and remake it with a horror twist. It’s all the rage, just ask Winnie the Pooh! So who will be judging us and handing out the giant check? None other than friend of the Somethings and host of Horror In The Pit & Talk Life – Fear! So what will the boys bring to scare a man called Fear… find out, as we turn Non-Horror to Horror on this week’s Elevator Pitch! Ok, what about a talking head beer and pretzels podcast.. but GHOSTS!!

A man walks into FBI Headquarters, puts in a meeting request and waits for the guns to be drawn… we are of course talking about the more famous pseudonym of Robert California, none other than Red Reddington in The Blacklist With the show having just ended last year, we ask ourselves whether the opener still grips you – whether James Spader with his unending smarm charm holds the screen hostage like we always remember he did. Does it hold up? Worth the watch? Find out as we go down a list of names of those that have wronged us on this week’s The Beginning: The Blacklist Ok, I remember we would go to this fantastic bistro in Paris, they served a dish that I’ve literally seen a man kill for… here we go! Full Episode

Before we get to the episode, we want welcome to the show for the month of March, Big Matt. He’ll be joining us for an event we like to refer to as March Matt-ness! Now, what are we talking about during this festive time of year where one brings a Matt into your home and offers him episodes of a podcast?  Well we’re starting off with the songs that make movies movie. Is it a song that you can’t connect one without the other? Is it the big hit that was on all the stations that literally says the name of the film in the chorus? Is it written by Bette Midler?  You might have a favorite movie theme song. So join us as we go through our favorites and get very confused about Bryan Adams. Ok, here we go.. for the glory of love. Full Episode

JAAAAACK…. ROOOOOOSE… INEVITABLE HUBRIS OF HUMANITY FOR A CASH-IN SEEEEQUEL! That’s right. The Titanic is setting sail again, and this time nothing could go wrong!

It’s time for Elevator Pitch: Prequels Ok, here we pre-go! Full Episode

Not all shows are created equal. Some shows are brilliant and stay that way throughout. Others go out into the woods to become lumberjacks. This week we are taking it to the dark passenger and his damp serial killer, Dexter Morgan. When it all began, was it good? Does it hold up? What did we notice this time that we never noticed before? Lastly, is it worth going back to? So follow the Somethings down to Miami as we talk The Beginning: Dexter Ok, here we go! Full Episode

Comedy Central wasn’t the first people to do roasts.. the celebrity roast is a time honored tradition that goes back to a time when there were only four celebrities, so they each took turns making fun of each other. Well, nowadays, everyone is a celebrity and we can make fun of them forever. So join the Somethings as we look back at some of the best single lines from roasts. From the roasters and toasters to the utterly burned – we’re talking our favorite Celebrity Roast Lines. Ok, here we go, a family walks into a talent agency and says ‘Have I got an act for you…’ Full Episode

For the first time in 2024 we have a 5 week month – and we’re taking another thing we did and putting it here so we don’t do it that much because we do one of those things a lot more.  Make sense? You don’t care, it’s fine. So we have The Wheel out of mothballs and that means we are spinning it to a topic which leads us to the wacky world of Marvel Mutants. The X-Movies are coming, so who could play the first class of DizMar Mutants?  Well we’ll lay out our teams and you can go to all of our social media and tell us which one is right.

Ready? Ok, here we g… where did we go? Full Episode

In a post-Lost world, a lot of television shows came through the lens flaired hands of J.J. Abrams on his journey to screwing up Star Trek and leaving the bones of Star Wars to bleach in the pretty, yet confusing red sand. Fringe may be the show he is lauded for the least, but is that the way it should be? A mix between X-Files and a procedural, Fringe gave us 5 seasons… but how did it begin? Join us as we follow the wacky antics of crazypants science that is The Beginning: Fringe Ok, Stranger, here we go! Full Episode

It’s time again for the Somethings to head to Big Money Tower – what are we pitching this time? THEME RESTAURANTS.. and no, we don’t mean we’re going to put local sports teams on the wall and random bric-a-brac we found at the thrift. We’re going all out with full immersion experiences looking for that big check. And who is providing the big check this week? Well, none other than two of our favorite people, of Pre-Recorded Live, it’s Matt & Becky!

Before that though, settle in as we wine and dine these two and see which one of us wins Elevator Pitch: Theme Restaurant Ok, here w- wait are we splitting the check? Full Episode

We’re back! It’s been a bit since we had a new episode for you – besides the special PAX episodes… and the Christmas Party… ok, look, even when we take a break we’re on break with mics in our hand. That said, we have returned to our regularly scheduled Something with our mostly yearly round-up of some of the stories that took the year by storm – and by storm, I mean confused your Gramma on Facebook. Which ones are real? Which ones are fake? Which ones are a secret mindcrime built by the establishment to stop the 5g chips in your teeth? Find out on our Snopes 2023 Roundup! Ok, here we go?  VERIFIED Full Episode

Ending the year with our favorite episode – it was a unanimous decision. Both Rob and James get together and invent their own new television show.. where the prizes are weird and the reasons are stupid. It is hands down our favorite from the year, so we’ll see you next week with something new – but until then, enjoy and Happy New Year! Original Post: The Wheel is back, and it’s got a job to do… Ok, it doesn’t, that would be weird, it’s a Wheel. It has a job, and it does it well. We spin it, and it gives us the week’s topic.  The topic though, well that’s a different job entirely.  You see, if you have watched any television in the last twenty years, you have seen, at some point, a show about bakers or flower arrangers or glass blowers or taxis.  Doing your boring-ass day job probably has its own channel on Pluto, so what happens when the Somethings get to make their own? It’s a brand new episode of The Wheel – Elevator Pitch Ok, here we g…..are you ready to face 5 other chat format podcasts on… PodWars! Full Episode

What’s the best thing about the holiday season? Is it snow? Well I hope you’re having a White Christmas and settle in as we discuss the delicious white gold of a bear going nuts on narcotics. Merry Blowmas… Original Post Every now and then, a movie comes out that’s “Based On Actual Events”.  “The Courier” comes to mind, as does “Eight Men Out” and “Schindler’s List”.  Well, now that list of movies must share the stage with the tale of a 500 lb bear that goes on a coke bender.  This week, Hatton and Podcast Rob head to Georgia to take on “Cocaine Bear” in this episode of “Something In Review”! Ok, here we blow! Full Episode

WHAT’S THIS! A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE! By Tiny Tim’s Little Crutches, it’s a Christmas Miracle! It’s also what we do every year, but that doesn’t matter, it’s NEW SOMETHING STUFF… So who is joining us in for our giant glass of Nog and talking Christmas fun?  Why it is the collection of wonderful personage we’ve become friends with on our podcasting journey from ACPNET.NET. John, Jason, and Matt are all hanging with us and bringing the Christmas Something along with them. One note – I do apologize for my audio, as with all multi-guest episodes, audio mixing sometimes becomes a bit of an unkillable monster. That said – Happy Holidays from all of us to all of you. Ok, here we Ho Ho Hooooo… Full Episode

Back with another Best of – we brought in Something Bestie, Tim ‘Ungajje’ Stevens, to discuss some of the moments in cinema that make you stand up and clap. It’s a great one, enjoy… Original post: What is a ‘pop’? In professional wrestling terms, it’s the moment the crowd goes nuts. Maybe they’re cheering – maybe they’re booing, but there is a moment in a movie where the audience is so emotionally invested they can’t help but be there. We’re talking about those moments.. but not alone! We are joined by long time SomethingFriend, Tim Stevens. You may know Tim from his time writing for any number of fantastic websites about the world of comics and pop culture. These days you can find him on TheSpool.net as well as The Wealth of Geeks. He’s also one bad shut yo mouth. You ready to laugh? Ready to cheer? Ready to catch the ball to win the big game? Prepared to listen to a podcast you can’t help, but scream at? Ok, here we OOOOoooh! Full Episode

Music fills our lives.. sadly, not all of it was created equal. The Somethings are heading into the deep end of the pool of ‘things we dislike’ as our next Best Of is Bottom 5: Songs… Original Post:  Mmmm Bop, crappy songs ahh doo wop, a-zig-a-zig-ahhhh We’ve done tons of favorite things. You guys are sick of the things we like, so how about the Wheel give us a little bit of loathing, huh? Shooting the big guns on our Bottom 5 songs. And let me tell you, we could do another 5.. easy. Join us on The Wheel: Bottom 5. Ok, here we eww…. Full Episode

Ach! The Somethings have done their share of voices.. well, so have actors, and in some cases, we would prefer to listen to our own.  Enjoy the Somethings mocking bad movie accents in this weeks best of! Enjoy! Original Post:  SAY E’LLO TO OUR LIT’LE PODCAST! And unlike the picture perfect Pacino accent that previous sentence was written in, sometimes a movie can pull you right out when someone’s accent doesn’t exactly match their character. Are they an American with a Brit twang? Are they Southern and sound like they came straight from the Civil War? Are they a Spaniard and yet somehow sound precisely like they don’t give a damn about any of the movies in this franchise? Well, we’re about to take them to task. Did you read that with a perfect patois? You should, as you join us on Worst Accents in Movies O’ah kay, here we go, an’ nobody gets our lucky charms! Full Episode

Surprise number two!  The Somethings went to PAX: UNPLUGGED and put on their best nerd swag and rolled dice for two days.  Well, along the way, we got a chance to do some interviews too! As promised, here are our interviews with Vaikin Kansepts, Meredith Placko, and Gamey – and we thank them tremendously for the time they gave us in a place where every person is vying for their time. One note – we are live in a convention hall, so the audio quality does dip at places. We’ve done our best to adjust accordingly, but we will keep that in mind for where ever our next adventure takes us, and we appreciate your understanding. With that said – Happy Holidays Somethings, please settle in and enjoy PAX:Unplugged – The Interviews! Vaikin Kansepts Steve Jackson Games Turbo Dork Gamey Full Episode

Not every movie is made equal, and some are made mighty unequal by the replacement of a key character.. we sat with friend Cthulu’s Prodigy and discussed. Enjoy! Original Post:  It has to be hard to make a sequel to a movie. Aside from trying to recapture the magic of the first one, you have to get this legion of performers to come back and find a perfect time where they aren’t working on other things… or, you know, you could just ditch em. Actors are replaced in movies for a myriad of reasons, some tragic, some hysterical – so settle in as we discuss some of our favorite and least favorite replacements in film.  We’re not going alone though – we are thrilled to have Cthulu’s Prodigy from Blacker Than Black Times Infinity to talk the movie talk with us. Make sure to give them a listen and tell em the Somethings sent ya. Ok, here we .. ok, well not ‘we’ since we had to replace both hosts .. go! Full Episode  

Oh, the Somethings actually went somewhere.. that’s right, they made their triumphant return to PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia – why? Because we’re a bunch of board game nerds, we take December off so we didn’t have to record anything. And yet, live in our hotel room, we did record something. Our tale of lines and games, interviews and fun, games and friends live from the convention center a few miles away from the home of Rocky Balboa. So enjoy one of a couple surprises that are coming in the next few weeks – and please don’t mind the audio quality – as the Somethings hang out together, exhausted from walking miles through the board game haven that was PAX: Unplugged Links mentioned in the episode: Vaikin Kansepts Jason Anarchy Games Steve Jackson Games Turbo Dork Gamey Games Mentioned: Captain Sonar Unboxed Powergrid Furnace Fugitive Ray Racers Damn the Man! Full Episode

It’s Podcast Rob’s turn with a Best of, and this is the first (but not the last) visit to the Wheel. Isn’t it weird that we get the best content out of when we really dislike something? See you next time! Original Post:  Look, you can’t like everyone. It’s just impossible. I’m sure there’s at least one person out there in the universe that throws darts at a picture of me. Hell, some see it as a sign of a life lived well. Now, that said, when it comes to movies and television, some actors just aren’t our thing, either. So join us as The Wheel goes out of its way to make Rob and I be assured we will never get those cushy Hollywood jobs we have been vying for all these years. Find out which actors we just aren’t about on The Wheel’s Bottom 5: Actors Ok here we ewww, Full Episode

As is tradition, the Somethings are taking December off.  That does not mean you aren’t getting Something Eps.. in fact, you are getting twice the amount of Something as we go through and list off our favorite episodes of the year on Mondays and Fridays. So settle in as we dive into some of the good times we had, and make sure you stick around for some surprises along the way. Happy Holidays! Original Post:  We did it. We hit 10 Years. A decade of Movies. Listicles. Bad impressions. Mysteries. Special Guests. And yet somehow, in all of that, we’ve never talked directly about Science Fiction movies… like… what? How is that? It’s weird, isn’t it? Like it feels like a big miss. We looked through the episodes and – nope – no sci-fi.  So we did it. Seemed like a great way to celebrate ten years. This episode is broken down a little different. Mostly because I included the Patreon stuff to let you all know that we are, for now, closing down the Patreon. We thank those that joined in on it, but to put our energies into other things, some of which you’ll hear during the show, we needed to trim somewhere.  Please note – if you are Patreon Member, your payment was cancelled for July, but we wanted to make sure you got to hear the ‘full unedit’ cut of the episode. So, thank you all for being with us for these last ten years, and lets start the next 10 right. Ready?  Well ok, here we go… to SPACE! Full Episode

Tis the season!  And, by season, we obviously mean tornado season.. what other season could I have meant?!  You see due to global warming, there is a chance we are looking at out-of-nowhere tornadoes that can just hit the ground and send us packing. So join us on this whirlwind of a holiday season and visit the harrowing journey of one family as a half dozen or so tornadoes seem to follow them where ever they go. Is it good? Is it bad? Is it better than bad, it’s good? Find out with 1-Star Movie: Christmas Twister Before the episode though – just want to remind you all that we are heading in to our usual December Vacation – so get ready for twice as much Somethings with the Best of 2023! But first – Ok here we blow! Full Episode

One of the great things about doing In The Beginning is that we get a chance to look at some stuff that was super popular, but doesn’t really reach the lofty goals of a multiple season blah blah..  so we can even take on the classics of the 80s – the TV Miniseries. So why don’t we start that idea with one of the biggest and most well known in a little story about the aliens landing and being totally friendly and not at all problematic lizard monsters. …No.. seriously… Anyway, does it stand the test of time? Is it good? Is it the reason miniseries aren’t around anymore? Find out on The Beginning – V.  Ok, here V go! Full Episode

What was your toy?  Did you play with M.U.S.C.L.E.S or Stretch Armstrong? Were you a Lite-Brite kid or maybe you had a slinky but you straightened it.  Whatever your particular pet rock was, there is some toy that you remember from your childhood that is no longer with us. Maybe because it just wasn’t that interesting or maybe because it was horrendously dangerous. Well, the Somethings are back in the elevator and we’re going to bring back a toy from our childhood, and the special guest CEO is one of the hosts of High Anxiety on Youtube, Ty Jero!  So please, pay respect to our toy maestro and check out his team’s reviews of toys and collectables. But for now – which one of us will get the pile of money? Find out on Elevator Pitch: Discontinued Toys Ok here we go go Power Rangers! Full Episode

You’ve done it. You find something you enjoy on Monday, you blink, and it’s August. Maybe it’s a show.. maybe it’s a website.. maybe it’s learning how to translate Etruscan. The fact is, we have all fallen down our share of rabbit holes that suck our life away for good or for ill. This week, Hatton and Rob will be talking some of the entertaining things they have found themselves fighting to avoid the gravitational pull of. Some of these things only last a day or two… some, a life time. Please let us know if we’re your rabbit hole. It’s ok… we won’t tell… on Rabbit Holes Ok, here we fall! Full Episode

With the last Tuesday, a spooky 5th Tuesday, we interrupt our normal ‘Whatever the hell we do on the extra week’ and replace it with a NEW thing we do on the extra week, but we replace THAT with something that’s much more Halloweeny since this also is that day so really it’s sort of just an In Review week, but under a different name, but … ARE YOU SCARED?! So let’s go to a small boardwalk town where kids are kids and they are thirsty … for blood….. and Chinese Food! That’s right, we’re discussing your goth ex-girlfriend’s favorite movie, Lost Boys. Does it stand the test of time or is it just a Frog in Vamp clothing. Find out on The Fifth Wheel – Not Really – In Review – Sorta – Halloweeny Lost Boys! Ok, we’re confused! Full Episode

We promised October was shake-it-up month for the Somethings, and Hatton couldn’t be happier to reveal our new format type. You see, Hatton loves a good piece of garbage movie.. PCR doesn’t hate them, but he certainly likes them less. So we get the perfect Odd Couple moment as the Somethings dig their teeth into the bitter pill that is the budget movie experience. So settle in as we start with a found footage alien film, brought to you by Asylum, and filmed on what is probably a bricked iPhone 3. Alien Origins is the tale of some people in the woods doing stuff, and you may think that is where we begin, but no… it goes on for so much longer. So grab your popcorn and your Dramamine, you are going to need it. 1-Star Movie Review – Alien Origins has arrived. Ok, here we go! Full Episode

We all have movies that we think probably shouldn’t have been remade. We all have movies we think ‘it would be great to see that from a new perspective’ — well this week, the boys unleash a regular show that is becoming a staple as they head into the elevator to pitch the next not-new, new-again movie relaunch. That’s right Elevator Pitch is now a monthly adventure. This week’s CEO is a long time friend of the show, the ringmaster of ACPN and Adult Swim Central, John Galbo! What movie would you redo? Do you agree with the Somethings?  Find out on Elevator Pitch: 80s Remake! Ok here we like yah fer shurr, Full Episode

Waalllllllt! It’s been so long since I’ve done that. You see, we’ve started a new thing.. The Beginning. Since we’ve done it now for a couple episodes we thought, as PCR likes to put it, to rip the bandaid off and just get this one out of the way. Before the messages and tweets and you darling somethings ask for it, we’re just going to get the mystical island that haunts us out of the way. And what did we think? I mean, the answer may surprise you… but it probably shouldn’t. So settle in with your box of Dharma Initiative Fish Biscuits and get ready to go back yet again to The Beginning – Lost. Ok, here we go again..! Full Episode

We made it to October, avoiding the heat death of the universe yet again. But what we have not avoided, if I can get serious here for a moment, is disappointment. PCR and I have, at times in our lives, found we were looking forward to something or were interested in a film that was on the horizon. Sadly, not all of the things we look forward to are … well.. good. Sometimes they can’t meet our expectations where others they are just plain dog crap – so please enjoy this list of films that we have decided are The Most Disappointing Movies. Ok, here we boo! Full Episode
