World of Commotion's Danielle Brown and Jarrod Staples join us once again to talk about another beloved Disney property everyone surely remembers. An intellectual property so ingrained in the public consciousness that Disney would have no need to go and pick up the rights to a different, more marketable science fiction property 35 years later! Only one movie has the backbone to explore topics like robo slaves, the origin of Satan, and what if Slim Pickins was a robot that suffered constant abuse, and it certainly doesn't have a Skywalker.
E-MAY-lio continues, as does the saga of Billy the Kid. Or Billy the Very Old Man on his way to get the early bird special at his favorite diner, the Mexican Blackbird. Jarrod Staples (of World of Commotion fame) is back to talk Bon Jovi, blatant historical inaccuracies, and the worst (or best?) fake old person voice we’ve ever heard.
We’re kicking off E-MAY-lio with special guest Jarrod Staples and this slice of totally, completely accurate Western history. Sure, character ages and motivations are wrong, problematic caricatures are invented just for the movie, and the extended peyote scene makes almost no sense, but would we ever get to see Emilio Estevez’s butt without this film? Yes? Then I don’t know why we’re watching this either.

Well, we really get into it on this one. We manage to talk quite a bit about the Foo Fighters' excellent 1997 album "The Colour and the Shape" but the real star of the show is the McRib, which has recently made its triumphant return across these united states. Jim consumed one (as well as many other items) and feels sick, Patrick is behind the bench ready to defend the good name of the sandwich, and return guest Jarrod Staples has his own recent McRib tales. Christopher just has many questions because as of this recording he had never had a McRib. As of this writing, he has very recently. And he's getting sleepy. This album is very good.
Jarrod Staples joins us again, this time not to recount a near tragedy but to talk turtles, of the teenage and mutant variety. Who wouldn’t be inspired by four giant foam latex suits that eat pizza, carry around deadly weapons, hang out in the sewers and say “damn” a lot?
This week it’s a very special Clamshell Case Files, where special guest Jarrod Staples gives a harrowing story of survival in the face of an uncaring world...and that’s before we get to the attempted robot murder. It’s Short Circuit 2! Join a still problematic Fisher Stevens and Michael McKean as they provide the Johnny V adventure you actually remember!While you’re here, if you’re in the Greater Boston Area and need a photographer, may we suggest our wonderful guest? http://www.jarrodstaplesphoto.com/
Our very first special guest Jarrod Staples opens the file on a movie about a sentient, reformed killing machine and the woman who loves him (until tests audience demanded otherwise): the 1986 Steve Guttenberg, Ally Sheady, Fisher Stevens-in-brown-face classic that everyone thinks they love but they really just love the sequel, Short Circuit 2. Join the crew as they learn what it is that really makes us “alive”: unabashed horniness.While you’re here, if you’re in the Greater Boston Area and need a photographer, may we suggest our wonderful guest? http://www.jarrodstaplesphoto.com/Next week: Jarrod joins us again for Short Circuit 2, the sequel that actually contains all the scenes you thought you remembered from Short Circuit (unless you’re Matt). Get ready for more root hijinx, an almost entirely new cast, Toronto cast as New York, and slightly less racism!To prep, you can watch it right here:http://www.vudu.com/movies/#!content/22216/Short-Circuit-2
Join us as we take an adventure to the north Atlantic to spend an hour with our close personal friends in Sigur Rós! And by that we mean complete strangers whom one of us has paid money to see perform on exactly one occasion.We're joined by photographer extraordinaire Jarrod Staples as we discuss Reykjavík's masters of post rock's fourth album, 2005's "Takk...". We spent a lot of time once again discussing meat and milk, and we begin to touch upon Patrick's potential McDonald's problem.
