Let's look back on a time when superhero comedies could be, y'know, funny. First-time guest Lily joins Rocky to talk about a modern animated classic that may or may not stand in the shadow of another modern animated classic. Is it the big screen's best Batman? Was it the death knell for the super-serious era of capeshit? Persons of interest include Ryan Reynolds, Michael Jackson, and Gob Bluth.See Lily introduce Dracula's Daughter at the Los Feliz Theater this Sunday!Pulp Friction is available wherever pods are cast.

Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson are reunited, and it feels so... nerve-wracking? For their first episode, the guys are joined by one of the funniest people they know, Will Arnett. Will gives them some podcasting tips from his gilded perch as co-host of the mega-hit podcast Smartless. They also get into Will's extreme Cheers fandom and his winding journey from getting kicked out of boarding school to starring in shows like Arrested Development and Murderville. Bonus: Woody's Gob Bluth impersonation. Like watching your podcasts? Visit http://youtube.com/teamcoco to see full episodes.

It's episode 263...and it's actually a pretty cool place… if you're a Martian! The Lost Boys (1987) puts us into the youth culture hotbed of 1980s Santa Clara, the supposed 'murder capital' of the United States. To the newly arrived Michael and Sam Emerson the summer presents opportunities of new beginnings, new friends and new hobbies which, for Michael at least, means things like riding motorbikes, hanging from bridges, floating uncontrollably and drinking blood from an ornate ceremonial glass. If that all sounds like a classic case of vampirism then you're not alone, and Sam enlists the help of local vampire hunters Edgar and Alan Frog to kill the lead vampire and cure his brother. All good, normal stuff. We oil ourselves up and strut our stuff, saxophones in hand, to break down a beloved vampire cult classic; namecheck Coreys Feldman and Haim, Jack Bauer and Gob Bluth; question why vampires would live in California; and consider what kind of local knowledge a Grandfather should be passing on. Plus, we try to get to the bottom of Chris' hatred of 'cool' 80s cult movies. All of which leads to one question: How would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: You'd better get yourself a garlic T-shirt, buddy, or it's your funeral. Next time, vampire season continues apace with Interview With The Vampire (1994).

Christian and Ian always take a shot and slap each other before podcasting. Ian is back from vacation and we sit down for a loopy, tangent-filled episode. First up we review the new slasher / whodunit, BODIES BODIES BODIES. Then, we continue our Planes, Trains, and Automobiles series and talk about Jamie Lee Curtis in the "Halloween on a train" movie, TERROR TRAIN. We also discuss Gob Bluth, boxing movies, and petting cats. We'd love to hear your thoughts, questions, or any requests you have. You can contact us at: ItsOnlyFeedback@gmail.com and on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Letterboxd.
This week's Tour is a character study of everyone's favorite magician GOB Bluth from Arrested Development. GOB seems to fail quite often, yet he always has the persistence to get back up and try again. While we might not want to model our development leadership style after GOB specifically, we can add to our tool belt some tricks of the magic trade.
This week we are unpacking our luggage and our biases while we discuss “Humbug”! We're talking how Mulder is somehow both a weirdo and a normie, Dr. Blockhead's Gob Bluth energy, Mulder and Scully's combined sleep schedules, Scully's magician skills, and how you shouldn't talk to the FBI unless you have a good zinger. We heap love on Darin Morgan's love letter to abnormality, advocate for bullying hot people, create and then immediately disband Wart Corner, and take a run through Chekov's Tabernacle. The conversation is also quickly derailed due to Mulder's posing, because Google Earth is always takin' pics.Submit questions/comments/recipe links/segment suggestions for our Season 2 Spectacular by December 5th!Send us an email at scullynationpod@gmail.com or follow us on Twitter and Instagram!
Will Arnett was bouncing around New York and Los Angeles for more than a decade doing dramatic work when he landed a role that put him on the path to comedy stardom - the hilariously buffoonish magician Gob Bluth on Arrested Development. In this week's “Sunday Sitdown,” Willie Geist talks to the actor about that breakthrough, the new season of his hit series Lego Masters and those pipes that have him voicing every commercial on TV.
This week TV addicts Schmee and Riker review the pilot of Arrested Development, "Pilot" (FOX/Netflix). We discuss how well it did in defining the genre/conventions of the show, introducing its characters, how well it informed the series plot, and how well it hooked us to watch more!

Los muchachos are joined by their favorite Canadian, Sam Eisbrenner as they embark on a new monthly series: IMPOSSIBLE MISSIONS breaking down the Mission: Impossible franchise.

Along the way they take their usual meandering approach, discussing optimal podcast lengths, helicopter scenes, theme songs, flying into the sun, super novas, US senator as a side job, Tom Cruise's romantic side, The Net Ranger, Gob Bluth, Titanic and much, much more on this episode of The Loosest Conceptual Movie Podcast On The Internet™. bonfire.com/looseconcept – tshirtsbonfire.com/looseconcept2 – sweatshirts
Most importantly, we figure out that Edgar is the Gob Bluth of his family and his younger brother is the Michael. Then, we figure out a more relatable motivation for the main character of our script and break act 2 a little bit. We decide that we like it!Follow us on Twitter @thats_the_showGive us a 5-star rating and a review over at Apple Podcasts!Got a question or comment? Email us at thatstheshowpod@gmail.com!

New York... a city pushed to the edge. People pushed to the limit. And no one's got the guts to stop them… apart from Spocklight at the Movies! This episode, we’re covering ‘Death Wish 3’ (Star Trek connection: Marina Sirtis) with Daryl and Jeanette from smashing film podcast, Sudden Double Deep. Liam decries the gleefully sadistic Death Wish 2, gets nostalgic for the videostore era, wonders how 64-year-old Charles Bronson's punches somehow rivals Superman's and chats up our recent trip to actually SEE Marina Sirtis in the brilliant play, Dark Sublime. Matt is delighted with sightings of a young Alex Winter and a ridiculous plunger wielding punk, can't help but compare the main villain to Gob Bluth and discusses some of the many problematic details surrounding Sirtis' role as 'Maria' And guests Daryl and Jeanette provide their expert knowledge on the history of Canon Films, wince at the iffy white saviour tropes, ill-conceived rape scene and depictions of extreme class warfare... and mostly try to work out where all the money was spent. Join us as we collectively lose our shit and get ever more hysterical at this borderline parody of a movie, complete with cartoonish kills, western-style shootouts, deadly Home Alone traps and the funniest explosion in film history then head straight over to the Sudden Double Deep feed to hear Liam and Matt guesting on their ‘Kingdom of the Spiders’ episode starring William Shatner himself.

In the immortal words of Gob Bluth... I've made a huge mistake. We talk on the strategic, psychological, and social pains of making a huge mistake early on in a large strategy game. Normally, this mistake can haunt you for the next two or three hours of the game, as you sit there knowing that you're going to lose. But those with a greater grasp of character can rise form the ashes and find a way to enjoy the game, and sometimes even win. No feature game this week. We're mixing up the structure for a bit and sticking to the games we played and a feature topic. How do you recover from a huge mistake? Comment on www.twowood4awheat.com and let us know your worst moment and how you recovered.01:31 High Frontier02:53 Vindication07:08 Trismegistus10:40 7 Wonders Duel10:45 Reef11:26 Tiny Towns11:54 Blood Rage13:00 Castell16:50 FEATURE TOPIC - Early huge mistakes and how to deal with them

Please! We appreciate you, BAM Army!
On this week's Backdrop Pod, Curtis takes a look at ten allusions that John makes in 1:35-51, and how understanding them helps flesh out our understanding of the passage. Resources mentioned in this Backdrop Pod:John: A Commentary by Marianne Meye Thompson
Matt and Rob get around to their month-log backlog of listener questions (sorry) and dispense some dubious, but explicitly wanted advice. (3:03) Gordon writes in asking about how to find a D&D group to play with. Matt and Rob have some suggestions, some of which might even be useful! (9:30) Adrian writes in about how to reduce prep time and for advice on being comfortable improvising. We wisely advise Adrian to stop doing so much work. (18:15) Brian asks about dealing with a *Gob Bluth voice* huge mistake with his wide-reaching homebrew world. (30:22) Sid's got a 3-part question (that's cheating Sid) that deals with metagaming, tuning the challenge of encounters, and learning when to let go. (46:00) David wants to know how to make his human and humanoid NPCs more diverse. Matt and Rob try not to be racist!
This week I talk to Eric the Red Magician, my first magician on Uncontained. We talk about how he got his start in magic, his first trick, and the difference between tricks and illusions. In addition to being a magician Eric also teaches people how to spot when they are being cheated at poker and also how not to get pick-pocketed. After talking about how he exposed some secrets of how you can be cheated and how tricks are done, of course I had to wonder if sharing secrets would get him banned for any magic societies; you know, like Gob Bluth in Arrested Development. I enjoyed learning about the world of magic and how Eric the Red Magician Lives Uncontained. https://www.facebook.com/eric.purcell.79Instagram EricTheRedMagician.Twitter EricTheRedMagic.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckRRMq6v78M&feature=youtu.be#Uncontined #UncontinedPod #LiveUncontined #AaronStaticRender #Podcast #Podcasting #Podcastlover #Magic #EricTheRedMagician #Illusions #Tricks #arresteddevelopment #DavidBlaine #pickpocket #Pickpocketing #SlightofHand #misdirection #gambling #CardTricks See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
And the winner is… well, does anyone win in a situation like this? This week Kimber channels Gob Bluth by making a huge mistake and the Oscars happen. Joe wants Kimber to stop calling Jem her sister and Kristen can’t believe season 2 is over already. Wasn’t Glitter and Gold two weeks ago? Time is meaningless on this week’s CWTAJ! Our weekly Jem song is ‘Tomorrow Is My Wedding Day', performed by Britta Phillips. CWTA Podcast’s intro song is 'Groove Is in the Heart (Instrumental)' by Deee-Lite and the outro is 'Bizarre Dub Triangle' by New Order. CWTA artwork by @ignoretherobot on Twitter.
Andrew gets a taste of the ritzy Hollywood healthcare system while Luke is denied his artificial sweetener of choice. Plus, Corey Feldman may be the real-life GOB Bluth, and the Gawker editorial staff makes an ethical stand over an unethical story.
Laugh tracks! Predictable plot lines! We must be talking about sitcoms. In fact, we're talking about the top 25 sitcom characters from the past 30 years in Geek Salad episode 91: Tricks Are What Whores Do for Money. Join Andy, Jim, and both Mikes as they go over a list of some of the top characters who made us laugh as chosen by you, the Geek Salad fans. They cover all the greats, from Gob Bluth to Norm Peterson. Oh, and somehow Urkel made it on there, too. The guys are still investigating that one. After that, stick around for a double-wide Trailer Park. The topic is upcoming superhero movies and both Captain America: The Winter Soldier and X-Men: Days of Future Past inspire much awesomeness. 2014 is looking very promising!

Featuring the music of Hickey, Three Mile Pilot, and The Straight Arrows (pictured above).
Welcome to the show (oh dear...about last night) Wouldn't GOB Bluth be great as KITT on the new Knight Rider? We'll show you what could have been in an audio mash-up.
