The weekly update on what's been going on at Blow, at the movies, in advertising, with geeky gadgets and other things – a lot of other things as it turns out.
We catch up with the masked contender on the (quasi) Bachelor Fantasy Island and talk shop – It's no one other than... the CEO of Puaka Pork, the White Goods King, the Swollen One, the Other Brother and so on. Aboard!
What is it with Mr Fantastic? How the hell does he even make sense? The smartest "man" in the universe? Cool story. But we also find out what the surprising highest grossing animted movies of all time (in the universe) are... you won't believe what's #1!
Just chit chat about workflow, effectove comms and the latest movies and games, but interestingly, it cuts off cause we forgot to press the record button after a quick break... but it's about an hour in, hardly cause for concern.
We are late with this one. Two weeks late, really. And only God knows if anything is relevant anymore... with these tariffs, in this economy?
Gaetan, the raging Frenchman, is our guest and we catch up and yell over some of the latest popular politics, but mostly car and game design. It's loud.
Not going to bullshit anyone with self-glazing this episode – this is just us riffing for 2h.
Hey Gubers, we're so cracked at everything we do, we don't need to keep glazing just one topic. It's the Blow Snow.. and Show + Guests! #sleep
Sorry, but David O is visiting from Canada. He and March are seizing this opportunity – and a pack of cigarettes, Canadian ones – to revive an old time classic: the Out The Window podcast format. David, having lived in Canada for this long, picking up various exciting DIY projects around his block cabin, designing comms for the local government and working as freelance animator and video editor on the side, having had a kid and bumping into the most unlikely ex-people from all over the world in his home town, Victoria, you will be surprised by how much March is talking over him with stuff we've all heard a million times. Some things never change. Eventually, the conversation meanders to more interesting places around the digital lifestyle, art, creativity processes and what a level of mastery can add or subtract from your experiences.
We chit chat for a bit about Paul v Tyson – not a fight, Jones v Stipe – a fight, why Trump won, what ugly people can do and how to hear time.
We catch up after along while to recap the last few sponged months of follwing every cross-eyed point of view any of the click-baiting pundits could possibly (insanely) esposue, regarding the US presidential election, so closely, YouTube should've issued a restraining order – you're welcome, Alphabet Inc. Only dystopian highlights from here on out.
Lionel and March, catching up low key over the phone. Island life and politics, Apple's new line up and some movie recommends are but a few of the topics covered. This was a test run on Riverside to record calls. Looks promsing and maybe we can have more of these in the future.
Wha' happened?! Nothing, really. We skip right over the attemopted Trump assssination and the Harris Tag In, going right back to talking about video game design and maybe food. Ah. Some things will never change.
We got plenty to catch up on with the Wallisian, the Original Aquaman, the Merman, the Island Boy, the Coconut Shaman – expect a longer and slightly more inebriated hour than usual.
Just found this lost episode from sometime in the downtime. Update, Fincher's The Killer, Streamwars, Ana de Armas, Merman 2, Cybertruck, Green Message Bubbles, Friendship Advice, Gonzoil Exchange Heist – March has it covered from the couch, recorded straight from a laptop.. .
It's been a while, but isn't Thanksgiving weekend a great segue to ruin everybody's good mood with a brief non-spoiler review of Marty and Leo's Killers of the Flower Moon? Well, it is. Say what you will about that DiCaprio boy, but he clearly does not give a fuck about looking hot in movies anymore. He looks like shit, contorts his face like a ball-less monkey on a tight rope and acts his fucking ass off. Hollywood! The Killer is maybe smarter, but is it better – March will address this too. A bit at least.
March shares his initial thoughts on Apple's latest update on their product line-up with Apple Watch S9 and iPhone 15. Later: Aquaman 2 (trailer) – Finding Amber
Trump is nuts. SYD Contemporary is boozy. March is Pac Man. Coinicidence is rampant.
We couldn'tt leave it alone after two failed shows, so now we have March rambling about Barbenhimer and how both movies are somewhat and somemore disappointing.
The new microphone has arrived and is getting an easy-in topic with a, somewhat lengthy, discussion about the gaming mechanics of TOTK and the uniuely Japanese aspects of its storytelling. We also touch on the origins of podcasting and some of the original icons of the technology.
Words are exchanged around Apple's WWDC, especially the latest OS features, some of the hardware and, por supuesto, the Vision Pro – March is tryting to pump the stock so hard, no one can get a word in. Why is it so visionary anyway, without giving you anything genuinely 'new'? That's what we ask Mark Zuckerberg on the phone... For Zelda - Tears of the Kingdom, we need to get our explorations aligned, not to spoil the fantastic adventure this game truly is.
Finally, the sequel for Breath of the Wild has been released – Nick and March consequentially catch up to exchange their first impressions of 'the new Zelda game'. Spoilers pretty much only if you have played less than 3 hours...
Solo podcast, March only. What have we got, lets see... Commbank loosing out on this HNWI Audio solutions built-in AIR preview review Quantumania review XOXO
What a week it's been... Now. Apple Air Pod Max issues aside, let's take a look back at the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise – how is Vol.3's wrap of the trilogy making us feel? Thoughts on Wick 4 Art v Design process Dune 2 Trialer with Dead Air Commentary post recording (which should become a thing) It is what it is. = /
It's almost 2020 again – we're doing a regular show before watching Interstellar. It's so retro, it does not fit in your case. Too big. Anyway, we talk about the ep to ep flow of The Last of Us and how generally impressed we are with the creativity of this adaptation. It's going to be a sad day when this wraps. Then we review the 2018 and 2022 remakes of the God of War franchise. This is a tricky one as, again, the boldness of the approach is well-received, but man, did they double-down on some of the worst tendencis of modern AAA games.
Books are back. The Creative Act by Rick Rubin. Mythos by Stephen Fry. The age of TV continues. Chernobyl is a banger of a show and it looks like this Maizin guy is someone to watch... he could make it big at some point. That's it, really. Oh yeah, I flipped over three times falling from two benches in a Sauna.
Another Solo Podcast. Apple's new lineup for MacBook Pro, Home Pod and Mac Mini – shoud anyone upgrade? At the movies and on your couch: - Operation Fortune - No Sudden Move - The Last of Us What's up with all that? Mostly good things, actually.
What was supposd to be an audio equipment test for the Apple AirPods Max quickly turns into a rant over other podcasts disussing the lab leak theory and Logan Paul's crypto scam being exposed – at last, this has become commentary. Wow. Just wow.
Yeah, maybe. Let's see, March is doing some in the dark podcasting with a drink or two to wrap up the year. He just came back from US, CH, GER and there is not much out there in the world (except maybe for old friends, but who cares?) that is better than a Sydney summer, honestly. Now, Ye... has he lost it and what to make of crypto in general and mote specifically of SBF and Trim trading cards? That's sort of it. Told you.
It's a horrible podcast. Seriously, the worst. March inserts himself into Bill Maher's 'Club Random' podcast with guest Jimmy Kimmel. Will have to look at the audioa at some point as it's really getting underworldly lately... We'll, I'll, look into it.
The guys catch up with local gaming expert, Gaetan, and soapstone about Nick's introduction to the Dark Souls series and Souls games in general. In the end, we all agree BOTW is a better game than Elden Ring and that's ok. Nobody needs to feel like tarnished shit all the time and put those foolsih ambitons to rest if you can be instead a grossly incandescent, gay, little elf'ish thing with saucers for eyes.
Solo Podcast. March rambles on about some of the latest movies and shows. - French Dispatch - Doctor Strange - Moon Knight - Elden Ring Basically, CGI, SFX and opwm worlds.. ? Yes? Yes. Solo, guys.
Goodbye, Lionel... Oh! Hello, Dave. The ultimate and final DVD Edition of Lionel's last in person appearance on the Blow Show – at least for a while. More importantly, this beautiful and manly man's last day on the job – at least for a while. It's not a wobbly sob story of a podcast however, as juste in time Dave O. decided to parchute in from Canada and save the silliness.
We're back'ish, talking about movies, building houses, the latest Mac OS software update, theme parks, creative writing etc
Agnes, our accountant ex officio, has finally left her yoga cult and is catching up with is on what's been happening in the world ever since... - the MCU - a new Bond movie - new streaming services - Rick and Morty - The Morning Show - Corona - Super Mario is now 3D - PS4 and now, 5 sort of - anal sex - new pronouns - the whole space thing and Mars, I guess... It's a longer podcast. You might have guessed that.
We gave it a fair go, an honest try, a good crack, a handsy rub, a firm run, a solid jiffy, a straight shot, a rock-hard clubbing, a clear-eyed wink... but in the end, we don't solve the climate crisis. Shame, really. New MacBook Pro What specs should you be looking for as an allrounder in the design and creative space? We'll tell you! Although it is pretty obvious, all things considered. Latest TV shows? Oh, we look at YOU, the Morning Show and Shrink Next Door. All pretty good shows – although Apple+ is clearly killing it with the Morning Show; production value alone.
Yay! 2-Man-Podcast. Back to the old crunchiness and wild snacking. We talk about lockdowns, Gupta on the JRE, population control and about some of the upcoming movies we're excited about. Don't watch the final DUNE trailer, btw.
Solo Podcast. What were the good lockdown shows? How to make a shower worth your time. Facebook leak – not all that. The price of political speech. The dumb ending of Free Guy. That's it. Appreciate it.
Another one! Solo. Yeah! - Favourite kids shows - Sabre Rider - Boss Level movie review - Goofs and continuity
Yay! March-only. Again. Jesus Christ, somebody end this lockdown so we hear the beautiful voices of Lionel and Nick again. Free pluralism in podcast land! This episode. The new iPhone stuff Sorry, Anthony Bourdain. Not sorry, Anthony... it's Bocuse. Anti Vaxx Stupidity from Rogan and Kennedy German YouTubers, digital journalism done right Whataboutism AOC's 'Tax the Rich dress' and Ben Shapiro's people's button down shirt.
Yay! The original format is back – Lionel is gone. Nice. March is damaged, so cut him some slack. Over-eating and over-drinknig has become a real problem and in a not too distant future we will subscribe to March's 'Out West Sandwich Chef' Newsletter... that fat fuck. Upcoming shows and movies like Top Gun 2, the Morning Show, Ted Lasso S2 all that good stuff. Anthony Bourdain is the man – but... idk, just don't get the hype. He's gone, so no one wants to talk shit. Funny tweets and Modern Driving Climate change science scepticism Apple Event September 2021, in 3 mins
Lionel is crashing the party – a welcome distraction from what March has put the listeners through over there last two weeks. COVID, street fights, anti-vax and earth rays ( I think I said that)– we're battling bad faith family members that are caught up with the ugly people. Live reaction to the new Matrix Resurrections Trailer – which is not what anyone expected. But then again, it's Wachowsky.
Another one. What's new? Lets see... We have of course Donda, finally. Best double albums of all time Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley Spiderverse Some politics, alright What's good? Let's do this!
Oh wow... another one? The DJ Khaled of shitty podcasting is back. March_Only with; - Being overly dramatic last time around - Spider Man - No Way Home - Trailer, Live Reaction - Afghanistan crisis - Zuby is just a moron - Cuomo retires, Hochul aide is off the left nut - Fact checking your friends - Genius at work
First solo podcast – it's a March Only. Just because it's been rough and therapy is expensive. Hear me out... for a while. Will you, friend? Nuts (roasted) and bourbon, talking about; - Podcast as therapy - Touched by evil - Online mismatches - SARS-CoV-2 - Anti-Vax rhetoric - Biden's Afghanistan retreat - Monster Hunter Rise review - Suicide Squad 2021 review - Fake logo design - Bull Market, Barcelona Painting Sounds like a lot; maybe 100 minutes or more! Feedback info@theblowshow.com
... title sums it up, really. Lionel and March talk about Tarantino's reign as one of the most influential directors of our time. Bits of his life story, behind the scenes stuff we heard and movie making techniques that defined a whole new genre.
Future cars will be a problem... and robots... but mostly the cars. If you're thinking of butting a new car, we have some thoughts on that. Hood ornaments... just saying. Oh also, someone almost got his ass whooped.
Sorry for the time out. Rough times. But we had time to contemplate existential shit and come back with some advice for existential sage Jordan Peterson – at least March is sure he overlooked something promising and dark in teh twisted tail of the wood-hard marionette exploring the world through the eyes of a maladjusted child. Next we discuss creative education in our home countries. How do know whether you're a designer or better just an artist? It's complicated.
We talk about some of the latest streaming releases and how it will shape entertainment in the future. Do the big studios have it in them to reinvent themselves again, now that superheroes and the pandemic are over? Or are they? And what about Mortal Kombat?
Were talk about the Oscars – at least a tiny bit. Screenwriting Masterclass with Aaron Sorkin sure has set us up with all the necessary information to jack these streamed movies we never saw... Let's see, if March really writes one himself, we can shit all over that one day!
First podcast since... well, it's been a while. Which in fact, gave us the time to watch this super plank Hyundai ad for a car called... what is it? The Staria! Premium!!! Insane. We talk more seriously about Apple's latest keynote event. What we think of Apple Silicon as an overall approach to boost our stock portfolio, what the M1 can do and why you might not want to buy a new device yet. Or do it. What do we care?! Some rants about copywriting and big tech selling off our digital behavioural fallout...
