We’re back!

Where’d we go? Well we traversed the Garden State with a stop in Atlantic City for the Garden State Comic Fest.

What’d we do?

Oh we checked out some funny books, some funny people, some Ninja Turtles, and a few famous people! So, to celebrate the fact that someone deemed us worthy to talk to, we’re talking one of the guys you see in a few hundred movies, and always notice… that’s right… the Best of the Best… Eric Roberts!

Please give a check out to our sponsor Quixotic Games  with Dungeon Alliance. Find your alliance at your local game store!

Lastly, we want to give our love and support to the folks over at Pre-Recorded Live. If you want to know what’s going on, give it a look at their GoFundMe, share, retweet, and help where you can.

Ok, here we go!

It was the night of the biggest sports game in the country. Millions upon millions watched the one team go and defeat the other one. There was a bird one and a soldier one or something like that. Anyway, a commercial popped up informing everyone that right after the ball was done being foot’d, Netflix was going to take over millions of living rooms with the third in the Cloverfield Series.

So with social media abuzz over it, of course the Somethings watched it and have opinions!

So how was it? What was it? How does it relate? Did JJ Abrams give us another Super 8, or another Lost?

Joining us this week to talk all things Clover are old Something Friends, Katie Cullen (@kiaxet) & Megan Salinas (@themenguin) from both AfterBuzz TV and their horror podcast, Silver Screams (@silver_screams) which you can find on Youtube!

So strap in to the first big viral sensation of the year and see how it ranks.

Also – don’t forget about our new sponsor: Quixotic Games and their new game Dungeon Alliance, available for order at your local gaming spot.

Ok here we go!

The Somethings like themselves some movies…

But there are a couple guys who like movies even more than us – probably more than you!

That’s why when we decided to do an episode about the upcoming films of 2018, we called the men who know what’s what about film. Justin & Nick, the Epic Film Guys! This cinematic twosome have been talking the talk for around 150 episodes about good movies, bad movies, their favs, and go deep in the well on what makes a great piece of cinema.  We met them on our journey through the #PodernFamily hashtag and definitely found some similar spirits in the way they get things done.

You can check them out at their website here, their twitter, or instagram – and give them a like share & subscribe via all your podcasty softwares.

Also – please take a look at their upcoming Livestream-a-thon to raise money for the Cancer Research Institute. It’s an amazing cause, and you can bet we’ll be doing what we can to help them out.

What movies are you looking forward to – comment below  .. but first, here we go.

You can’t have a summer blockbuster without your bae…  am I right?

I, obviously am talking about the Master of all things Kaboom – Michael Bay.

We can joke, but he’s had his share of fun flicks – and its time for the boys to break them down and find out which ones set them on fire and which ones fizzled out before they ever got ignited.

Also – before we get to the episode – we would like to say a thank you to the amazing legacy that Wild Pig Comics is leaving in the New Jersey comic and hobby scene. Chris and Bill have been long-time friends of the show, and we’re sorry to see them go.  If you happen to be in NJ before the end of the month, be sure to stop by and wish Chris luck on his next adventure.

Ready for some funsplosions?

Ok, here we go!

After 3 big episodes in a row, the boys are hanging back for a little and catching their breath.

What that means is you get to dive into one from the secret archives of the Somethings, where you get all new material, we did the same amount of work, but we did it before now! It’s amazing. It’s like magic.

I’ll tell you that the above sentence has more magic in it than this movie.

There are a lot of classic Star Wars rips, but Starchaser might be the most forgotten.. not because it is obscure or bad or an obvious cash-in… it’s because it is all three.

We promise, you don’t need to see the movie to enjoy this episode. Hell, you’ll likely enjoy the movie more if you don’t watch it.

Ready?

Ok, here we go!

Ok here we go… and go.. and go… and we are celebrating our Year 4.

Where in years gone by we have found our way to the fabulous Wildpig Comics, this year there just wasn’t a lot to discuss when it came to the comic universes.. so we decided to have an episode where we create our own.

So we got Bill Ellis, manager of Wildpig and longtime friend of the show and Jay Sandlin, new friend of the show and writer of Outbreak Mutiny, as well as a regular contributor to Buzzfeed! I’m also leaving a link here to this article, but you might want to wait til the end of the episode to click on it… trust us.

Let me (Hatton here) take a quick moment to say a thank you to every one of you that has listened over the years and has gotten us here. It is because of you folks that we do it and thanks for being there. As we crest our fourth year and our next episode is that big ol’ triple digit, it is stereotypical, but totally true, that without you, there would be no us. So thanks everyone.

Enough prattling – let’s get on with the show.

Ok, here we go!

Look, we all have blindspots. Maybe it’s that you really weren’t a fan of Star Wars. Maybe it’s that you think the ending of Lost is really good. These are things that sometimes you hold as a badge that you have not done something the rest of the world has.. but other times, you are aware it is a blip that you missed and you just avoid conversations around it.

So Rob & Hatton are admitting some of the big nerd movies that they’ve missed – and they ask for forgiveness.

They would forgive you ….

…unless it was about that Lost thing.

Ok, here we go!

It’s time again for everybody’s favorite SomethingGimmick! THE WHEEL OF THINGS!

The last time, the Somethings talked on about Dragonlance. This time it’s a contest episode.

We’ve done movie posters before, but what about that one little sentence that tries to drag you into the flick?

He was a flint. She was a steel. Sparks fly when they meet. 

So can we figure out movies based on those short snippits?  Oh, there’s only one way to find out!

Ok, here we go!

♫ Here we are… born to cast pods… ♫

That’s right, it’s time for one of those shows that was inevitable. It’s Clan Hatton & Clan McRob as we talk about one of the most long-legged, long-lived, fantasy… sci-fi *sigh* series that defined many a’geek.

It’s Highlander time!

So grab your katana and beware the planet Zeist.. the boys are Gathering.

And if you worry about anything.. just realize.. it’s a kind of magic!

Hey thanks for understanding the lateness. LET US NEVER DISCUSS IT AGAIN!

When a movie starts, ‘Two cops with nothing left to lose’ or ‘Two best friends on a mission’ or ‘An unlikely duo of…’

Well, that’s a buddy flick and it’s a sub-genre unto itself. Hell, this show is pretty much a buddy flick turned audio.

So join a hard-nosed cop on a mission, and an unlikely best friend with nothing left to lose as Podcast Rob and Hatton take a cross country trip as fast as they can through the PodscapeVerse. Party time, excellent!
