Welcome to the Juras-Sick Park-Cast podcast, the Jurassic Park podcast about Michael Crichton's 1990 novel Jurassic Park, and also not about that, too.  Find the episode webpage at: Episode 60 - Almost Paradigm. In this episode, my terrific guests Matt Kelly and Matthew Milligan of the Weird Al-gorithm podcast join the show to chat with me about: PeeWee Herman and Paul Reubens, The Bicycle Thieves, Weird Al Yankovich, One Hit Thunder, Wheatus, podcasting, digging through music shops to find Weird Al albums, polkas, Yoda, MacArthur Park, Alapalooza, Off The Deep End, Bohemian Rhapsody v. Bohemian Polka, the punkrock roots of Weird Al, Green Jelly, claymation by Mark Osborne and Scott Nordlund, music videos, Dinosaurs Attack!, Barney the Dinosaur, I Love You, You Hate Me, parody choices, UHF, the Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesotra, and much more! Plus dinosaur news about: Vectipelta barretti, a new ankylosaurian dinosaur from theLower Cretaceous Wessex Formation of the Isle of Wight, UK A potentially fatal cranial pathology in a specimenof Tarchia Featuring the music of Snale https://snalerock.bandcamp.com/ Intro: Toucans.  Outro: Chinese Cafe. The Text: This week's text is Almost Paradigm, spanning from pages 380 – 384. Synopsis: Hammond is uncomfortable with Malcolm's sepsis, and leaves for a walk believing that the park is under control now, and is safe. On his walk back to his bungalow, he stews over how unfit everyone he'd hired to work at Jurassic Park had been, blaming them all for its downfall – and taking no responsibility of his own. Then he hears the roar of the juvenile tyrannosaurus, and panics. Out of fear and anger, he winds up falling down a ravine, landing in a river below, with a broken ankle. It turns out the tyrannosaur roar is just a recording being broadcast over loud speakers, as Tim and Lex are playing around on the computer in the control room, and there was no danger after all.  Discussions surround: Dramatic Irony, Responsibility and Safety, Considering whether or not you should, and Almost Paradise v. Almost Paradigm. Corrections: I said that Nedry didn't turn off the fences in the movie - when, of course he did. Arnold also turns off the power, but Nedry did it first. My mistake. Sorry.  Side effects:  May cause you to become ... weird! Find it on iTunes, on Spotify (click here!) or on Podbean (click here). Thank you!

It's time for the second annual Itch 12 Pods of Christmas, wherein we shout out some of our favorite podcast friends and direct you, the listener, to a pair of episodes from across our shows to keep you entertained through the holiday season. We're very grateful for the kindness and camaraderie shown by the Twitter podcast community and the opportunities we've had to guest on other shows, as well as to have other hosts as guests on ours. One such show is Beer'd Al, wherein Lauren and John Carey talk about two of the greatest things in the world: beer and Weird Al. You can find the Beer'd Al Podcast at: beerdalpodcast.com and on the Twitters @beerdalpodcast. We recommend listening to The Itch's guest appearance, in which we discussed Alapalooza and broke a record that didn't even need to exist. And follow that up with our episode, Songs About Your Mom, which we're pretty sure would make Lauren laugh.

WOW. This episode has EVERYTHING. Laughs, great music discussion, beers galore, and so much more! Lauren is joined by Aaron and KC from The Itch Rock Radio & Podcast to discuss Al's 1993 masterpiece (because, let's face it, every Weird Album is a masterpiece in some way) Alapalooza. This is a laughapalooza, a beerapalooza, and a funapalooza.   Find The Itch Rock Radio & Podcast here: https://www.itchrocks.com/ https://twitter.com/ItchRocks  

We're kicking off POLKA WEEK with a discussion about "Bohemian Polka" from 1993's Alapalooza album. We discuss Queen, why so many activities involve changing your shoes, what makes a good "Weird Al" polka, and so much more!  John has Lucifer in a Haze from 18th Street Brewery, and Lauren has Stowe Craft Cider Citrus Ginger Seltzer AND Impossibly Black from Dirtbag Ales. Cheers!

Honoring one of the biggest snubs from the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame. The one and only "Weird" Al Yankovic. And I'm not doing it alone this week as my favorite co-host Chloe, joins me for this really fun episode. This is a special and nostalgic episode for me because "Weird" Al was the first concert my parents took me to when I was growing up. I've been a dedicated and loyal fan for over 35 years and his genius as crafting parodies and song-style parodies are unparalleled by anyone. Because I don't play singles on this show I concentrate on some deep cuts from Al, and particularly his original compositions that I think are some of his forgotten classics that I hope you love as much as I do.I do not own the rights to any of the music played on this podcast.

Dinosaurs! TV shows! The general snobbishness of the Red Hot Chili Peppers! Gerrit and Dakota discuss it all in the initial leap into the Weird Al album, Alapalooza. This episode was recorded back in March.

Wielding an accordion, curly hair, and a strong desire to make everything fun; Weird Al has entertained the mass for over 40 years...so far. During his reign of awesomeness he dropped this gem in 1993. Listen as Josh and Barrie express nothing but love for Alapalooza this week on BDMA.

Dave and Ethan interview Weird Al's publicist from Alapalooza through Poodle Hat - Sheryl Northrop!

Still recovering from Alapalooza, Aldo NICE, Rog Smuve and Los aka C.A.P. got together to do podcast things. Rumble Williams started off the show by running down his thoughts on the plight of the black quarterback (01:00) to which we gave our thoughts. Next, Aldo let us know what Burned His Boudin this week including standing in parking spots (08:00), shows that skip seasons (11:00), ‘fishing’ in gumbo (14:00) and daylight savings time (19:00). After discussing birthday etiquette and debriefing a sneaker ball, we got into the main stories of the week. We took time to talk all things Master P (31:00) and compare No Limit to Cash Money (39:00) prior to saying our piece about Jasmine Cashmere’s conversion (46:00) and the return of the Popeye’s chicken sandwich (49:00). We next chose to dive into a major story from Louisiana about the racist post of an insensitive business manager in Lafayette (55:00). We wrapped up the pod with Aldo having Nothin’ NICE to Say about the Washington Nationals (1:14:00), getting some laughs off about T.I.’s parenting (1:19:00) and Rog giving his weekly NFL (1:30:00).

Is Wish Upon really that bad? Yes, yes it is. Also a look at the original songs from Weird Al's Alapalooza album! That's a lotta als for one sentence.

On this week’s episode of the BFW Podcast, Rumble Williams got us started by giving his two cents on Dez Bryant signing with the Saints (01:00), which turned into five minutes of Cowboys fans bashing. Aldo gave the Alapalooza recap (06:00) before Rog and Los chimed in on barbershop prices for kids (07:00) and Nikola Jokic’s insensitive comments (09:00). We broke down how to know if you are in a relationship with someone (15:00) segueing into Aldo telling what Burns His Boudin this week including paper tags on old schools (18:00), making faces at your iPhone (21:00), and that fact that black people cannot be nice (24:00). After shouting out the homie King Gutta (26:00), we had some post-midterm election talk centering around the results, who can vote, Don Lemon (30:00), and the black college student who finessed Republicans (40:00). The pod wrapped up with some sports talk about Jamarcus Russell, Zion Williamson, and Marcus Peters (47:00) prior to Aldo having Nothin’ NICE to Say about black-on-black crime (58:00).

It’s the start of Banned Books week, which means we begin to pontificate over works that have been challenged, mostly wondering why someone would want to ban The Catcher in the Rye or To Kill a Mockingbird or One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. We figured a look at satire is a good entry way into the realm of the forbidden. Before we fall too far down that rabbit hole, we pause to thank some friends of the show. The Art of Satire (14:33) Satire isn’t easy. Too offensive and the satirist comes off as simply ill-hearted. Not offensive enough, however, the aspirating rhetorician will appear to be but a decoy (or in John Stewart's words: a hack). A good satire, a satire that sticks and makes people remember the punishment has to have just the right amount of wit, humour and pointedness. In this episode we discuss the art of satire from books, to plays, to visual arts and music. We try to understand what the idea of satire is and how it is best practiced. We wonder how satire differs from parody, irony, lampoons and farces. We end with a discussion of the cult-classic television cartoon South Park, exploring how satire is deployed in the series while debating it’s ironic value and wondering if it’s really all that funny (1:15:05). It’s an episode packed with attempts at humor, irony, exaggeration, and lots of ridicule. Not for the faint of heart.  Links to audio clips: André-Philippe Gagnon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAEM0jOvGkE Anthony Atamanuik on Intercepted Podcast : https://theintercept.com/2017/09/20/intercepted-podcast-merican-psycho/ Jon Stewart implodes Crossfire : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvnyBCjPtmU Sean Spicer at the 2017 Emmys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX8MMxTQSzI Song “Jurassic Park” appearing on “Alapalooza” by ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh4zvQfDhi0 Song “Eat It” appearing on "Weird Al" Yankovic in 3-D by ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcJjMnHoIBI South Park Theme Song - Performed by Primus : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijBAG2O9GZs Song “Wynona's Big Brown Beaver” appearing on “Tales from the Punchbowl” by Primus : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYDfwUJzYQg Song “Eric Cartman - Come Sail Away” appearing on “Chef Aid: The South Park Album” : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb3XWTWtRxc Song “Blame Canada” appearing on “South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut” : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOR38552MJA Son "America, Fuck Yeah" appearing on ‘South Park’ by Team America : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDfEKwJJBdU South Park - Cartman's Poem : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk9CoZQuo4c South Park - Advice (Chef and Girls) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbwscO_1kuM South Park - The City Part of Town - “The Lofts at SoDoSoPa” : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAPmjcBnxIs South Park - Hillary Clinton debates Mr. Garrison & Caitlyn Jenner : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcP8lZ1EHKg Further reading: https://hyperallergic.com/81686/a-brief-history-of-popular-satire https://www.quora.com/profile/Varsha-Eluri https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-parody-satire-and-farce http://www.nestaso.com/new-blog/2013/12/10/andy-warhol-irony-in-art Jonathan Swift (1729) “A Modest Proposal”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal Trump and Paralipsis http://theconversation.com/how-donald-trump-gets-away-with-saying-things-other-candidates-cant-55615 Concluding thought:   Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own -Jonathan Swift -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make sure to check out The Skip & Josh Podcast, available on iTunes, Podbean, many other places and their website: https://skipandjosh.com/category/podcast/ We played a promo for the Forgotten News Podcast.

This week Al Beck talks comics with Chuck, video games with Jefferson and Star Trek with Anne Carlini! It's an All Al show!   The post Nerdradio on Riff2 Alapalooza appeared first on WRIF Rocks Detroit.

Last season we ended the show watching Revenge of the Ninja (http://revengeofthe.ninja/) where guest Arden chose a random page number from Videohound’s Complete Guide to Cult Flicks & Trash Pics. The idea was that we would watch a film from the page he chose. What luck! On that page was Weird Al Yankovic’s UHF Where can you watch this film? And for once we recommend it. Buy the Blu-ray 25th Anniversary edition. Stream it on - Amazon iTunes Coincidentally, there probably aren’t any UHF stations where you can watch UHF. Check your local listings! This episode we’re joined by Sally from Sallyannk.com. During the episode she talks about the upcoming One Spark competition. As of posting this show we know she placed 9th in her category! Chris appeals to Cracker Jack to sponsor the show. UHF had heavy competition in 1989. We decided that Weird Al needs one of Sally’s beanies. It’s a good price, get one for yourself! Paul’s first cassette ever? Alapalooza. The film has an amazing story when it comes to its video release. Check out the “Legacy” section of the Wikipedia entry. Supposedly the movie was loosely based on The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, a Danny Kaye film based on a short story. Ben Stiler stars in the remake. You do not have permission to use a real oscar in your silly film! So here’s a bashful, gold statue. Everyone needs a Nash Metropolitan. The undisputed king of sandwiches. Weird Al builds a mountain of mashed potatoes a la Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Is that the Inspector Gadget villain again? Victoria Jackson shows up in the film. She sticks to her lines and thankfully doesn’t accuse Obama of being a communist. Crispin Glover was offered the role of the janitor, but turned it down. They also tried to get Christopher Llyod. Michael Richards from Seinfeld is crazy young and one of the best parts of the film, the janitor. Chris thinks Fran Drescher looks like a Swatch watch in her dress. It’s a Film Frown alum! Billy Barty is the camera man at the station. We saw him in Harum Scarum. One of the great surrealist comedians, Emo Philips has a hilarious bit in the film. The Spatula City commercial entertains us all. The movie says it’s time to show a Weird Al video. Beverly Hillbillies. Chris loves Weird Al’s take on Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner. Wheel of Fish? No you don’t get a clip because we’ve already spoiled enough in these notes. Trinidad Silva is amazing in this film. His character has an “animal kingdom” TV show on the public access station Al manages. Unfortunately, he died in a car accident before shooting ended and the film is dedicated to him. “You get a drink from the fire hose!” That’s the iconic line and scene from this movie. Where does the “We don’t need no stinkin’ badges!” line come from? The book The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and its 1948 film. Weird Al parodies The Geraldo Rivera Show. In the TV station there’s a Thing With Two Heads poster. The bizarre but lovable bum in the film was played by Vance Colvig Jr.. He was one of the first Bozo the Clowns. Of course there has to be a Rambo parody. Anthony Geary from General Hospital plays Philo, named after inventor Philo Farnsworth. Weird Al’s character is named George Newman in a nod to Alfred E. Neuman the mascot of Mad magazine. Sally wants more Weird Al movies. We found these interviews he did for the Nerdist network. Where’s the commentary in streaming? If you’re interested you can find some commentary in films using VHX.tv to distribute digitally. David Cross’s new film Hits has an option to get bundled extras. Paul also mentions that iTunes has Extras available for some films as well. Sally choses another page from the cult movie book! Next season we have to watch Tower of London, Top Secret! or Touch of Evil. Stay tuned after the ending theme song - we do some bonus talk about Weird Al trivia and copyright, as well as catch up with Sally’s adventures in up-cycling / recycling / repurposing goods through hand (not mine) crafting. And a double-bonus track at the very end, Paul talks with his daughter Evie just before the show starts. Thanks for listening! And thanks for taking time to join us again, Sally!
