Something In Review – The Great Hack
Haaaack The Plaaannetttt
Ok, not really. You see, we are getting a lot of stuff for free these days. Need to know the weather? Sure! Want to play a silly little Facebook game? Ok! Want to see a photo of you as a bunny or an older bunny? Why not!?
Truth is – you are paying – we all are… and something as silly as online surveys and photo filters may have much bigger repercussions than you ever thought.
We’re talking the documentary The Great Hack, the story of Cambridge Analytics and how they may have created the political landscape we’re living in…. wow, that was so much more serious than our usual entries.
Don’t worry, we still make the same stupid jokes on Something In Review: The Great Hack
Dramatic-ish Readings: Ferris Bueller
Gather round on Sesame Street for the 12th installment of Dramatic-ish Readings.
This week, we take one young man who just doesn’t want to go to school… this leads him on an adventure searching for his Rubber Ducky (especially if he wants to play the saxophone).
So how does he do it? How does he play sick?
Find out now as Ernie meets Bueller…. Bueller… Bueller… on Dramaticish Readings.
Year 6 – Strangererer Things
The Somethings are celebrating their 6th Year with some friends!
That’s right, to bring in our next 52 weeks of funny, we have brought in long time friends of the show PRL.
Matt, Joe, and Becky have been with us for a long time and we are thrilled to get their input on what’s going on in the Upside Down as we talk about this year’s edition of the Strangest of all Things: STRANGER THINGS.
So settle in for an extra long episode that most definitely stays completely on topic – and then go listen in as PRL get themselves ready for their relaunch.
Note – Friend of the show and regular guest Alexis Torres is currently going through some medical issues. You can read all of the details at her GoFundMe. In support of our friend, all profits from items purchased from our TeePublic store will be donated. Get well soon Alexis.
Free-For-All – NJ Oddities
It’s the extra week of the month, so it is time for us to add a little something extra to the mix.
Have you missed Hatton? It’s ok to admit only a little.. well he is back this week to celebrate the most favoritiest place of the Something’s world… New Jersey.
From the mysteries to the outrageous to the legendary – NJ has a lot of stories going on. In the top 20% for population and bottom 10% for size – we are a dense locale filled with a little bit of everything.
So hang out with the Somethings as we tell you what Exit you can stick it, gnaw on some pork roll from Central NJ (that last one just got a couple people really ticked off) – and discuss NJ ODDITIES.
The End – Travelers
One of the things we love about The End is that it gives us a chance to talk about shows we might not have ever had a chance.
Travelers, a science fiction show about time travel and the ramifications of it all only has a few seasons and then it is done… but should it have been? Did it end on a high note, a low note, or was it just a show that came and went and we move on?
Well Hatton and Rob have stuff to say about it – and now you get to hear it. If you’ve never seen the show though, might want to wait on this one.
The 11th episode is here – The End: Travellers.
Something In Review – The Invitation
There are movies that the Somethings agree about… Highlander.
There are movies that the Somethings disagree about… Mars Attacks.
The Invitation definitely fits into one of those categories.
A group of people are invited (get it?) to a dinner party where they haven’t seen each other in quite a long time and have a sordid history. So why are they there? Is it supposed to feel so uncomfortable? Are they getting suckered into buying Amway?
Dramatic-ish Readings: Independence Day
Please gather round, taking a moment from your Fireworks and Festivities for another journey into our 11th Dramatic-ish Readings.
The President has come to a crossroads. He must send out an elite force of those that remain after a brutal alien attack. How does he inspire his troops? How does he send them into the skies?
What if he was a slightly off spaced out taxi driver and mechanic?
To know, you’ll have to join us for another… Dramtic-ish Readings.
James Bond Part 4
Welcome to July and the 136th episode of the Something Something Cast!
You are getting something special on this week’s episode as Hatton is taking a brief sabbatical, you get Podcast Rob picking up the final episode of the Bond series. (We told you we would get to it)
So what does Rob think of Craig? How does he compare with the Bonds of the past and is the evolution of the movies a good thing?
You know Rob’s got opinions. So check them out.. ok, here we go!
The End – House of Cards
All good things come to an end, and this show is one that the Somethings were dreading seeing go.
Dipped in controversy, suspected to never complete their story, Netflix pulled off the near impossible of finishing it without it’s primary star.
What happens when the House finally comes to an end? Did they do it justice or was it so far gone that a stiff breeze could topple it? Find out on the 10th episode of The End: House of Cards.
Something In Review – Action Point
There is an infamous place in New Jersey, home of the Somethings, that had the nickname of Traction Park.
This amusement park was known for its bad management and injury prone nature.. and yet we all went as a right of passage.
Take that information and welcome to Action Point, a movie inspired by the world of Action Park and taken and pushed through a Jackass fueled blender.
What did the Somethings thing? Did they walk away with busted up ribs from laughter or chip a tooth from grinding their teeth in anger…. only one way to find out – check out #10 of Something In Review – ACTION POINT!
A group of people who have seemingly never met all gather together, invited by the mysterious Mr. Boddy.
What we find out from there is how much they do know about each other and what they hold over each other’s heads….
Unendingly quotable and beloved by everyone with good taste, this movie made form a boardgame should not have ever been as good as it ended up… but here we are.
So count your bullets (1+1+2+1…) and douse the flames on the side of your head, we’re giving you Something In Review #9: Clue.
