Podcast appearances and mentions of harry brimage

What if phones but too much, and also a terrible family hotel? This week I'm joined by Martin Dunlop and Harry Brimage to look at a newie! Stream came out like two months ago so it's good and fresh. Enjoy goopy blood, veteran horror actors, very realistic Frenchman and, most importantly, LOTS OF JEFF.

Do you feel...anything? You're bound to, as Martin Dunlop and Harry Brimage join me to tackle The Wizard of Gore (2007), in all its bloody, leechy, very 2000s glory. Come for the cavalcade of character actors, stay for body horror and Lana Del Ray.

Ho ho ho Jingle Babes! It's DOUBLE CHRISTMAS DECEMBER! And the surprises haven't stopped yet!

In the midst of Turtle mania, surrounded by Street Sharks, Battletoads and Martian Biker Mice, one studio decided to do things backwards: What if we made the tie-in videogame first, and made the cartoon second? Unfortunately the game was a disaster, so obviously the adventures of Bullet-head Man, Horny Buzzsaw-for-legs Girl, Sentient Toolbox and uh... some other ones. They're a team, they fought crime, probably. Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Alex Malone Soundboard: Andrew Cherry

Ho ho ho Jingle Babes! Roast pork, leaving cookies out for Santa, singing carols by the fire, Christmas is filled with traditions. We here also have our traditions.

It wouldn't be a season of Failure to Launch without a crimefighting dog, so here's Sniff, another pilot from the 1988 CBS Summer Playhouse (pls bring this back CBS it's been so bountiful.) Robert Wuhl, best known for being that reporter in most of Kim Basinger's scenes in Batman '89, is Sid Barrows, a reporter in most of the dog's scenes in this thing. Nominally he's here to solve crimes but as is trad the dog does most of the heavy lifting. Every crimefighting dog show needs a twist though, and Sniff's is... Sid's dad seems to live with him and do most of the homemaking? It's unconventional but also surprisingly charming. 4 stars. Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Lisa Dibb Soundboard: Andrew Cherry Sniff on IMDB

Failure to Launch is BACK, with... essentially the same pilot we left you with. Scott Bakula* gets into an accident with a space probe,* and ends up with superpowers.* He has to fight a billionaire* with the help of a love interest.* This time though, instead of a son, he has... the Island... also the probe is inside him. Right up there. Two years later he'd escape Failed Pilot Island with Quantum Leap, but we're still here, sifting through the rubble for Billy Zane projects. Season 5! *again Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Alex Malone Soundboard: Andrew Cherry

Episode 405 of Punwatch, with a full board and obscure Pete Doherty references. Punsters: David Shaw, Harry Brimage, Lisa Dib, James Ferris, Alex Malone Host: Andrew Cherry Socials: Patreon Twitter  Facebook  YouTube  theconsumption.net

In this 'Christmas' edition of Failure to Launch, we examine I-Man, a Scott Bakula Sci-Fi vehicle in which he learns the meaning of Christma- wait, no, he inhales a mysterious gas from space. After inhaling it, he finds he has been turned into Jolly Old Saint Nicho- whoops nope he gets blown up and miraculously recovers, as he is now immortal. Actually, this pilot has nothing to do with Christmas really, but it does have laser guns and a truck that falls off a cliff for SO LONG, so there's that. Merry Christmas! Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Alex Malone Soundboard: Andrew Cherry

This week on FtL, we travelled back in time, then forward again, to look at a sexy, revamped version of the Three Musketeers. But these aren’t your grandma’s stogy old Musketeers, all 17th Century and French and shit. These bad boys (and girl! Fancy!) live in America in the year 2000, only… different. There’s no guns (or even, y’know, muskets), and instead of police there’s Musketeers. But also the Cardinal’s men, who are also the police? Plus there’s a Cardinal, and a King, who are at war while also being buddies, and uh… Apart from mobile phones and cars this is pretty much just the three musketeers.

This week on Failure to Launch, we raced through Our Thirties, a 2006 sitcom that, like all other sitcoms from the era, was trying to be Friends. Our Thirties hook was a cast of characters with midlife crises on the horizon, examining what they wanted out of life. Turns out it's weddings. Weddings weddings weddings, heteronormative pairings and giving their friend who kissed a girl once shit for it decades after it happened. Also Peter Serafinowicz and Rashida Jones are in it, and thank God this failed so those two could go make something better. Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Andrew Cherry Soundboard: Lisa Dib

At Failure to Launch, Halloween's not over yet!* Closing out this extended spoopy month is The Omen, a mid-90s attempt to serialise the 1970s film. In this version, Hotshot Reporter JACK MAN and two other people we don't care about because their names aren't JACK MAN team up to fight some sort of... possessey, flying, snakey... thing? Also it has human helpers, maybe? Dunno, there's a fair bit going on. Subscribe to Failure to Launch via iTunes (ow.ly/aGJz303czsE) or RSS (ow.ly/xXoU303czqq). Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Martin Dunlop Soundboard: Andrew Cherry *Cherry fucked up the releases and he's very sorry.

This week Failure to Launch takes a look at the 2003 (oh my god guys, it’s so 2003) pilot for The Lone Ranger. It’s got everything a great western should have, cute boys, top 40 hits, an extended drug trip sequence, y’know all the classic western stuff. When optimistic young college boy Luke Hartman is almost killed by a bunch of no good outlaws, he sets out on a quest for revenge that will see him steal from widows, investigate rice and maybe even learn to do sweet fly-kicks. Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Lucy Shaw Soundboard: Andrew Cherry

This week's Failure to Launch examines a 1990 semi-supernatural cop show created by Wes Craven. Wes Craven! He’s pretty good at stuff! It’s about a cynical cop teaming up with a possible lunatic to hunt a serial killer with a paranormal twist. One of them believes in the supernatural, the other is skeptical. Gee, that sounds like a good show, one that should probably star Mitch Pileggi, just like this one! Welp. Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Lisa Dib Soundboard: Andrew Cherry

This week's Failure to Launch examines a 1977 sci-fi pilot, Exo-Man. Sounds fun, right? It's about a brilliant scientist who, through amazing technology, builds a bulletproof, invincible robot suit. Sounds cool, right? He faces off against the mob, who are out to kill him before he can testify in open court. Sounds exciting, right? There's car bombs, shootouts, bank jobs, culminating in our hero losing the use of his legs in a targeted hit! Sounds thrilling, right? It is! Eventually.

Oh boy listeners have I got a very... special??? episode for you! In it I compare the drink Ovaltine to two other products. These are the drinks I drunk in this episode: https://www.milo.com.au/ http://ovaltine.com.au https://dicksmithfoods.com.au/products/ozechoc/ It turns out I think I was drinking a special Australian recipe of Ovaltine which you rest-of-the-world-ers might not have access too. Sorry. This episode is officially brought to you by Harry Brimage. You can find him living here: http://theconsumption.net/

This week on FAILURE TO LAUNCH we examine VENUS ON THE HARD DRIVE created by Chuck Lorre (Big Bang Theory, Dharma and Greg, Two and a Half Men) starring Oded Gross (Story producer on... Cake Boss?... Cake Boss) and the voice of Maggie Roswell (The Simpsons, Pretty in Pink). Harry is a snarky IT worker who unwittingly uncovers Venus; a government spy program who is also a snarky sexy lady that moves in with him and his snarky snark housemate, Ozzy the snark (Lord Snark of House Snark). More than 10 years after Weird Science, Chuck Lorre thought he'd give it another crack... but what if this time... it was a shitty Chuck Lorre show. If you love Big Bang theory and Two and a Half Men, then you'll tolerate Venus on the Hard Drive... and you probably wonder why we're so hard on all these great shows. You absolute muppet. Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Alex Malone, David Shaw Soundboard: Andrew Cherry   *Jeez we've been talking about banging a lot lately.

This week on Failure To Launch we watched Time Slip. John Taylor from Duran Duran is "The Hacker" and he's finally hacked the mainframiest mainframe of all. The mainframe of the future, allowing him to see visions of what is to come. What does this modern Nostradamus do with his power? Watch people getting it on. A la The Twilight Zone, this vision of the future is the story of Greg and Jenny committing the crime of love in a cold robotic future where everything is on fire. When Greg intentionally wipes their records from the security system he is shocked to find that the security system "Lee" no longer recognises him and won't let him back in the office, so Greg has no choice but to KILL LEE. Listen to find out if Greg and Jenny can survive this stupid STUPID game of cat and mouse on this week's Failure to Launch. Reviewers: James Ferris, Alex Malone, Harry Brimage, Andrew Cherry Soundboard: David Shaw

(Apologies for the audio issues with this episode. Someone absent-mindedly turned their microphone off during the recording.) This week on Failure to Launch we examine MICROCOPS, a 1989 sci-fi comedy about Microscopic Alien Cops who's society is entirely made up rule abiding sticklers. So they come to Earth to learn to loosen up, party down and stop a microscopic criminal who is causing oil spills and advocating, like, you know, whatever man WOOP WOOP. But because they are so tiny, in order to get around this massive world they hijack the first person they stumble across; Morgan, a scientist who's entire career involves developing a molecule that will clean up oil spills. So convenient WOOP WOOP! Can Bidra and Nardo save earth with Morgan's help? Can Bidra learn "What is Kissing?" Can Morgan win back the love of his life from the evil millionaire funding all his projects? And can we forget the endless "WOOP WOOPs"? Oh God the WOOPs. Make them stop. Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Alex Malone, David Shaw Soundboard: Lisa Dib

This week's Failure to Launch examines Slickers, a sitcom vehicle for up-and-coming standup Michael Richards (Seinfeld, unfortunate viral footage) and SNL star Dana Carvey (Wayne's World, that film with the egg suit.) Richards is a maverick New York cop sent to teach a young, small town Sheriff Carvey the ways of big city policing, dog training and how to name knives. With this kind of star power, you'd think this'd be a shoe-in for at least one season. Fate, just OK jokes and unjustifiably sappy kids get in the way and leave you going... eh. IMDB - Slickers Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Lisa Dib Soundboard: Andrew Cherry

In this week's Bonus! 20% Value! episode of Failure to Launch, we examine Blade Squad, Fox's attempt to take every 90s fad and boil it down to a concentrate, suitable for washing heavily soiled Hypercolour t-shirts. We meet a rag-tag group of cops on their last chance, as they're all loose cannons. A sergeant, hot off being shot in the head, recruits them into a experimental squad of his own design - normal cops, but they've got rollerblades and jetpacks now, plus they're loose cannons. But how will these loose cannons cope when the silliest show we've watched in years takes an incredibly inappropriate dark turn? Could this really be part of the show's continuity? Turns out it's just some loose canon. Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Lisa Dib Soundboard: Andrew Cherry

This week on Failure To Launch Xander Allan joins us as we follow the journey Alex Wilder (Melissa George from Home and Away & The Slap), a young professional with a bitch of a boss and an approaching marriage that she's not totally sure she's ready for. You know what this calls for! ROAD TRIP! Into a massive tornado. Alex is transported into the magical world of Oz where she meets magical and weird characters who are mostly just normal people. The scarecrow isn't even a scarecrow. It's just a dude. Why do Oz like this? They are pursued by the Ring-wraiths from Lord of The Rings into an underwater kingdom ruled by the Good Witch of the South who tells them a confusing story about how Oz is doomed and it's all that bitch Dorothy's fault. Along the way they meet up with a perplexing goth who has to do cartwheels or backflips every 3 seconds to help them on their perilous journey. What dangers lie in wait? You'll have to listen to find out. But rest assured it'll be real dumb. You can find Xander Allan on Twitter @crimsonxander, or catch him hosting Trivia at the Vic Hotel in Brunswick, 7:30 every Wednesday! Get around it!

Episode 217 of Punwatch, with special guest Jerzy Gwiazdowski and not enough in-depth ice hockey knowledge. You probably already know Jerzy Gwiazdowski. If you don’t, however, we cannot stress this enough: It is in your best interests to download and listen to Punk Assed: A Pun Cast, Jerzy’s pun podcast. It is punning on another level, and as a fan of puns, you will be a more complete person when you add Punk Assed to your podcast device. You can also find Punk Assed on Facebook, along with clips of Jerzy & Co competing at Punderdome and the Henry Pun-Off World Championships. You can also read about his punning in a new book called Away With Words by Joe Berkowitz. It’s a look into the world of competitive punning, which is so relevant to any Punwatch listener’s interest it’s not funny, unlike the book. We’ll also be appearing on an upcoming episode of Punk Assed, so keep an ear out for that. Punsters: Jerzy Gwiazdowski, Harry Brimage, David Shaw, Alex Malone Host: Andrew Cherry

Andrew's beaut Indie-pop dance night, Mr. McClelland's Finishing School, is wrapping up in October.

In this week's episode of Failure to Launch we follow undercover agent Delilah (Kim Cattrall, Sex in the City) working with Billy Zane (Billy Zane, BILLY FUCKING ZANE) to take down a weapon smuggling crime boss from the inside. But when her cover is blown, a deadly game of cat and mou... nope, nevermind, they kill her straight away. Delilah is brought back to life with a science montage and turned into a crime fighting machine (literally). As Delilah and BILLY ZANE (Billy Zane!) work together to stop a terrorist getting his hands on a nuclear weapon, the sparks fly (literally) as the bad guys wilt under Delilah's (literally) steely gaze and massive structural damage (literally). Did we mention Billy Zane is in this? Running Delilah - IMDB Running Delilah - Wiki Reviewers: James Ferris, Lucy Shaw, Harry Brimage, Alex Malone Soundboard: David Shaw

1979 was the perfect time to cash in on the Star Wars craze, so what better way than to make the Beverly Hillbillies in the Mos Eisley Cantina. We follow the Mcallisters getting through breakfast, a singer desperate for a job, a talent agent who can't get no respect, a megalomaniacal Billionaire intent on buying up all the apple pies, a pair of very sexual Scottish robots and a black guy punching a really big egg. This may be one of the most insane shows we've ever seen. So get yourself some apple pie, a nice warm glass of merk (yes, merk), and relax to our screams of confusion. It's a doozy.

This week’s Failure to Launch sees the return of a horse of course. Of course, if you’re making a show about a talking horse, of course that horse will be a family-friendly lovable horse, unless of course that horse is Mr. Ed. Fearing that the concept may be a bit dated for modern audiences, Fox cast George Jefferson himself (or at least Sherman Hemsley), to transform Mr. Ed from a talking horse into a straight-talking horse. Apparently in 2004, we really wanted Mr. Ed to be edgy. If you’ve ever thought; “If only Mr. Ed was a misogynistic homophobe that spoke endlessly about his sex-life and fifteen year-old girls”, then you have some serious issues that need resolving, but this is also the perfect show for you. Because for the next 19 minutes, this is exactly what we get. Meanwhile, Wilbur Pope, has a problem (well he has many problems but we’ll get to those later); his fifteen year-old daughter has gone to a club and vomited, so naturally, he upends his entire family from New York and moves them to the kidnapping capital of the world, Granite Falls, where he plans to run a legal practice out of his barn. But if you think this sounds like the actions of a desperate father spiraling out of control, you would be wrong! Because apparently that horse that’s just wandered into his law-barn is talking to him, and he’s going to stop Wilbur from getting pushed around. Within minutes of meeting Wilbur, Ed becomes obsessed with preventing Wilbur’s daughter from having sex. While we may never know why he is so heavily invested in this, we do know that he is definitely willing to maim a teenage boy over it. It’s probably fair to say this version of Mr. Ed isn’t the horse we all know and love, but you have to understand it was 2004, and audiences just expected horses to hate teenagers, hippies, and women.

This week’s Failure to Launch journeys NOT to the center of the Earth, but just a bit under it to The Inner World, a land of miniature sets, puppet Space Manta Rays and liberal Yetis. After his uncle Harlech’s attempt to get to this Inner World fails (spectacularly, if also predictably), Captain Chris Turner assembles a crew of generic TV sci-fi types, the world’s most English Englishman and one really angry bloke and sets off after him. At least, we think for him. They’re also after the supposed treasures of the Inner World, which include new food sources, limitless energy and space age technology, all of which their ship already has oh fuck this thing is a glorious mess just listen we’ll do our best to explain. Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Andrew Cherry Soundboard: David Shaw

Portrayed by Norman Bates himself, the great Anthony Perkins absolutely nails this surprisingly ok three camera sitcom. We follow Elizabeth (Anthony's new wife) as she tries to adjust to life with the Stracks and living in the shadow of a massive portrait of Anthony's deceased wife. When Elizabeth takes down the painting and unleashes Anthony's ex wife's spirit it's up to Anthony to look dead into the camera and make puns with the speed and determination of a serial killer. We absolutely loved this bizzare Adams family meets Married with children-esque show and we're sure you will too. Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Lisa Dib Soundboard: David Shaw

Dean Cain plays a Louisiana cop who is also a priest and a little league coach. But things get complicated when he shoots down one of his former baseball players, putting him under investigation by internal affairs. Things become additionally complicated when his ex lover is embroiled in a political scandal of murder and blackmail. Things get really complicated when he starts being haunted by the ghost of Robert Patrick who doesn't seem to want to help with anything at all. Shit gets just plain messy when that ghost cop has his own murder at the hands of prohibition era gangsters to solve and finally everything just basically falls apart when his partner starts telling him stories about alligators. How do all these events tie together? They don't. But it's Dean Cain! Isn't he great?   IMDB - Rag and Bone   Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Andrew Cherry Soundboard: David Shaw

Failure to Launch is BACK with one of the most divisive, confused, dare we say Baffling™ pilots we’ve seen Crispin Glover try on jeans during. Nicolas Cage, Crispin Glover and a slew of other teenagers bring us many, many, MANY vignettes of life as a 1980s All-American teen; a life that’s often musical and only occasionally involves serious property damage and/or existential despair. Also, Jackie Mason’s there, playing a character with the last name ‘O’Reilly’. We’d tell you more but, honestly, we’re still not totally sure what this thing was. Crispin Glover definitely tries on jeans though. That happened. We think.   The Best of Times (Wiki) The Best of Times (IMDB)   Technical note: Failure to Launch now comes with Podcast Chapters! Aside from dividing the podcasts into neat little packages, you’ll also get to see a different still from the pilot with each chapter. If this new format gives you any trouble, please please please let us know on Facebook or Twitter (@consumptionthe) and we’ll try to sort something out.

This week’s Punwatch, with a brief discussion of spoiler warnings for an entire school (if you haven’t seen Star Wars yet it’s your own fault.) This episode is titled, “Hugh Laurie Autographs ‘Dinosaur Sex’ Edition Monopoly With Lewd Signature”. We get classist, but about rich people, so it’s ok. Punsters: Alex Malone, Harry Brimage, Lisa Dib & James Ferris Host: Andrew Cherry

Episode 08 of Punwatch, and it’s a vintage one - featuring guest comedian Andy Matthews! This episode is titled “Gosling’s Cat Rides Shotgun With One Armed Hungarian”. It’s the old format, so only 3 stories. Still a corker though - Andy’s probably the best guest player we’ve ever had.   Punsters: Alex Malone, Harry Brimage, Andy Matthews Host: Andrew Cherry

From the Book of Failure, S2-16:   “The man, who was named Ferris, toiled in the fields of the Internet, searching for a pilot which was of formidable quality. He went up from Rutube.ru to Torrentfreak, but he would not be satisfied, and no merchant of pilots whose lights were not green could impress him with his wares.   After many days wandering the desert of Wiki, he collapsed, and at this time the Lord of Bad Pilots appeared to him in a vision, taking the forms of Billy Zane and Adrianne Palicki. “Oh Lord”, cried Ferris, “End my suffering! Provide unto me a hyperlink to the pilot which shall destroy television, and bring about the end of all screen entertainment!"   With these words, the Lord Billy Zane did smile upon him, as the Lord Adrianne Palicki speaketh, “Don't really have anything like that. We've got this thing called Gay Robot though. Will that do?”   "Fuckin' done!" cried Ferris   And then Ferris saw some children, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys*.”   *That bit is from 2 Kings 2:23-24. Seemed appropriate though.   Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Alex Malone, Andrew Cherry Soundboard: Fabian Lapham

This week we examine Blood Ties, a 1991 attempt to bring the “vampires live among us, and they’re SEXY” genre to life over a decade before HBO did it with True Blood. The problem, however, was that this was a network show. So where HBO added sex appeal into True Blood with Tons o’ Nudity and Sex™, Blood Ties had to settle for sexy innuendos. When it turned out they couldn’t write sexy innuendos (there’s a twinkie metaphor that isn’t the obvious one), they tried adding incest to spice things up, which is akin to spicing up a curry with a small chemical fire. Also, one of the vampires was named Corey Puckett. Even without the incest, this was the level of sexiness we were working with.   Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Alex Malone Soundboard: David Shaw

Channing Taylor is a cop from the future who's out to prove that policing is a people’s job and not a computer’s. So he goes back in time to convince his Grandpa (Bill Maher) that Adam Ant's evil plot to cure all diseases has to be stopped, and the only way to do it is to break every time travel rule and irreparably ruin the future. But Bill Maher is determined to make policing a computer’s job and not a people's. Can Channing and Grandpa see eye to eye? Can you wrap a man in fruit loops? Can you cut to every single shot in a feature length pilot with the sound of a broken jack-in-the-box? Only TIME will tell.   Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Alex Malone, David Shaw Soundboard: Fabian Lapham

Sam Elliott brings his distinctive southern charm to this series about the beloved dare-devil travelling the country with his trusty pit crew. Along the way they deal out action, adventure and good old fashioned 70s style misogyny you just like your dad used to make. But, when Evel threatened by a female stunt rider, him and the boys must band together and do everything they can to put this young upstart back in her place. But, when Evel is threatened by a mad bomber, determined to end his career and his life, him and the boys don't really give two shits. And neither will you! We promise.   Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Lisa Dib, Martin Dunlop Soundboard: Andrew Cherry

The year is 1998 and the world has recently discovered ironic detachment. Scream 2 is but a fading memory, and Scream 3 is still a glimmer in Courtney Cox-Arquette's eye. Somebody had to fill that gap. In steps Shaun Cassidy, Failure to Launch's favourite snow globe enthusiast-cum-director, with another snow globe filled romp. It's fun. It's sexy. It's shot like a Smash Mouth video. It's almost certainly meta. Two aspiring film-makers team up with a generic 90s slacker-dude to make 1998's most daring reality show: Hollyweird. They bait, trap and torture suspected criminals, all on film, and all while apparently evading legal sanction. Then they have a nice pot of Ovaltine. At least I think they do. Or at least we spent a long time speculating that they might. Or on what exactly Ovaltine is. It's all a little hazy. All I know is that Americans should at least consider drinking Milo.   Reviewers: James Ferris, David Shaw, Harry Brimage, Alex Malone Soundboard: Andrew Cherry

In this week’s unexpectedly raunchy episode of Failure to Launch, we examine Island City, a world ravaged by formerly-human-now-super-strong-neanderthals, the victims of a genetic experiment gone wrong. The remnants of humanity cower inside the fortress-like Island City, desperately searching for a cure. Well… I’ve used words like “cower” and “desperate”, but for the most part everyone’s really relaxed about the whole situation. So much so, that when a rescue worker is lost in the mutant-infested wasteland and given 48 hours to live, the rest of his team just grab a drink, catch up on some sleep, kinda, y’know, have a bit of R&R. Just 48 hours of “me” time. Also, Abraham Lincoln hits on someone’s mum. Oh, and there’s eugenics, and everyone’s cool with it (including the writers). This was a weird one.   Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Alex Malone, David Shaw Soundboard: Fabian Lapham

This week's Failure to Launch examines an attempt to reboot 1965's Lost in Space for the early 2000s. As with any reworking of a series with a strong, loyal fan base, it's important to carefully examine the source material, find the elements that made the show work, then make those elements the core of a modern, exciting retelling, that pays loving homage to the original series. Thing is, the element they took from the original was Dad Knows Best™. And what Dad reckons sounds best is uprooting his family and dragging them across killer alien-infested space to start a new life on a farming colony, even though his family's opinion on the matter ranges from "I'd rather not" to "I will never forgive you for this", and there's no particular reason to go beyond Dad Knows Best™. Dad may be legitimately insane.   Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Alex Malone Soundboard: Andrew Cherry   WARNING: This episode contains multiple Nathan Cavaleri references. Apologies to people who didn't grow up in Australia in the early 90s.

In further proof that The Consumption will watch anything that Billy Zane puts his name to, we travel this week to the vast fantasy world of Robert Jordan's 14-volume Wheel of Time series. Or, rather, one house in the vast fantasy world of Robert Jordan's 14-volume Wheel of Time series. Or one smoke filled room in one house in the vast fantasy world of Robert Jordan's 14-volume Wheel of Time. It's the story of one man's desperate search for his wife and family, which ends in anticlimax when it turns out he's just playing hide and seek. Or tragedy when you consider that he's hallucinating and murdered them days ago. Either way, we'd watch paint dry if the paint was played by Billy Zane. He could do it too. He's got the range.   Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Alex Malone Soundboard: Andrew Cherry

How about a modern adaption of a literary classic, created by Martin Scorsese & Dean Koontz, starring Parker Posey and Adam Goldberg? Sound good? It sure sounded good to USA Network in 2004. Except all they got out of it was your standard gritty cop show. Except it stars a modern day Frankenstien. Except he's not called Frankenstien. Except the show is called Frankenstien. Except there's...  God dammit, this thing's a mess.   Reviewers: James Ferris, Andrew Cherry, Harry Brimage, Alex Malone Soundboard: David Shaw

In this Christmas themed season finale of Failure to Launch, we examine the pilot for Miracle Man. An independently produced pilot, shopped to a few Christian networks, the series asked the question, quote, "What would it look like if Jesus came today?" By "came", they mean lived in Phoenix repairing foreclosed houses, running a faith healing/prayer group out the back of some store that's totally not a cult, saving children from car accidents with his psychic powers,* and not bothering to use those powers when blue demons arrange for his Best Buddy™ Lazarus to die in a car accident as a way to crush JC's will.  Luckily for JC, he doesn't really care if his friends die, so... all good. *Yep.   Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Lucy Shaw Soundboard: Andrew Cherry

It was 1992, and NBC aired a made-for-TV movie (code for failed pilot) based around a crime fighting robot dinosaur. You would think that NBC's blatant cash in on Robosaurus' popularity would actually feature the 2.2 million dollar car eating machine, but if you've been listening to our show then you should know better. In a post global warming future (it's a little bit warm), we follow the story of David Nash, an ace cop trying (and failing) to come to terms with the death of his child. He puts everything in jeopardy to pursue his son's killer, a man who pretends to be a Colonel and has a warehouse full of super suspicious boxes. Then Nash meets a man who claims to be magic and ejaculates up the ghost of his dead son in the form of a giant robot Dinosaur after he learns to believe in himself. Not a comedy.   Reviewers: James Ferris, Harry Brimage, Fabian Lapham Soundboard: Andrew Cherry
