Episode 75 – Swerve Movies

Tagged ,

First we introduce Podcast Rob & Hatton.

Then – you realize this whole podcast has been recorded in Spanish… BUT WAIT… then you recognize that this is a repeat… but is it?  You go scouring through the archives, BUT THEY’RE ALL DEAD! Then the zombie invasion episode merges in and you find out that they are geniuses that recorded all of their shows in 1950… BUT HOW?!

That’s not for us to explain – but the best swerve movies always do. Movies that take what you thought was going on and flip the script.  So join us as we talk about some of our favorite movies that make you go ‘Huh… wait… can we rewind?  Does that mean…. but….. OH MY!’
PS – Lookin for vinyl – Ask Hatton.
PS^2 – Looking for a neat shirt – Ask Rob.
Ok, here we go

Episode 73 – Alien Movies

Tagged , , ,

The Somethings are looking up to the heavens and hoping to catch a glimpse of something interstellar.

That’s right, we’re heading to the stars and it doesn’t matter if it’s little green men, crazy overly huge spaceships, the greys, or one naked hot blonde chick.. now that the aliens are here, we are going to discuss the hell out of them.

But what are two men versus the hordes of intergalactic perils that await us?

We brought back-up.  Joining us are the boys from Alien Theorist Theorizing. If there is going to be any show out there that can help, it will be them.

What’s your favorite alien invasion – or simply your favorite alien – let us know… but do it after you have a close encounter with the Something kind.

Sometimes the remake is better than the original.

One side is for the establishment and assigning names to the faces of vigilantes.

Episode #63 – Tim Burton

Tagged ,

It’s time for the Somethings to get a little darker.. a little paler in pallette.  The boys are going semi-monochromatic and discussing everyone’s favorite Hot Topic Discount Rack Star: Tim Burton.

Whether you are a ghost with the worst pain or a childhood favorite given a facelift and creepy reimagining via Johnny Depp – we probably hit on it.

Slap on some stripes and grab your Handbook of the Recently Deceased..

♫ What’s This! What’s This!
There’s babbling everywhere!
What’s this!
The Something’s just don’t care… ♫

Episode 62 – Deadpool

Tagged , , ,

It is no surprise to anyone that the Somethings like comic things.  Hell, they’ve done like 5 episodes about them already… so when the big mill started about Deadpool, it was a foregone conclusion that they were going to see it. So what did they think of the Merc With A Mouth?

..they obviously left nerd stains all over the seat in front of them..

Who said that?  Anyway, breaking box office records and proving we DO need another hero.

..two podcasters enter, one podcaster leave..

No, seriously who keeps doing that!? Well, anyway, take a listen and find out what the boys think!

..ok, here we go!

THAT’S MY LINE!

Episode 60 – The Force Awakens

Tagged , , , ,

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away… two guys were the last ones to get on a certain train.  A train featuring a giant star killing planet and a dude who sky walks and a couple of kids with a bunch of superpowers… yes, that’s right… the Somethings are going to face off against Xur and the Koda– no? Oh. Star Wars.. right.. nevermind.

After the much to do about the Disney Abrams Lucas Monster has come to life, join the Somethings as we discuss those pesky mitochlorians (I’ve just been informed by Podcast Rob that it is spelled midi-chlorians.  I don’t feel bad not knowing that.)

Ok, here we go!

Episode 57 – Found Footage Films

Tagged , ,

Step one – take a camera

Step two – strange and horrible things happen to you

Step three – PROFIT!

The Something’s heading off with nothing but their wits and a camera, with an episode all about Found Footage/Shaky Cam movies.  Whether it is a horrible creature tromping through the woods, or an urban legend coming to life in the woods, or a … why are all of these things in the woods?

Anyway – monsters, powers, mayhem galore on the just after Thanksgiving edition of the SomethingSomethingCast.

Note – We would like to thank Olivia Hennis of The Papercuts Podcast for her help with this episode. (And her show’s pretty rockin if you love young adult novels & films)

Episode 56 – The Time Travelling Episode

You don’t need money…
We don’t take fame…

That’s a lie – we’ll take fame. We’ll take fame anywhere it asks us to.  It’s gonna live forever.  it’s gonna learn how to fly!

Sorry, already digressing.  As I was saying – the power of love is a curious thing.. but more curious is the hours and hours we have spent watching time travel flicks. Movies about people moving about in time with usually disastrous results in the first act.  There are tons of tropes, tons of gimmicks, tons of good and bad flicks that have used traveling through time as their crutch.  Hatton & Rob are hopping in their Magic School Bus and going through their favorites.

(They also kill Hitler.)

Episode 55 – Horror Villain Battle Royale

Tagged , , ,

 

some..some..some…  thing..thing..thing…

We would like to play a game… and it’s BATTLE ROYAL: HORROR EDITION!  We’ve discussed our favorite creature features and villains in the past, but given it is a time for scary, it is time to look with a chainsaw sharp eye… if that was a thing.. and look at some of the greatest villains of movie-dom and pit them against each other in a discussion about who would stand tall at the end.  Whether you are sleeping on Elm St. or messing with a Puzzle Box, there is always a vacancy when it comes to Halloween.

(See what I did there?  Yeah, I’m kind of impressed with myself, too.)

Ok ScarySomethings… here we ghoul!

Episode 53 – Roundtable – Sequels!

Tagged , ,

During our anniversary episode we started talking about good sequels to movies, and what movies have had good #2’s and even #3’s.

Well, not only did the Somethings want to get back in on that action, we invited some other folks along to join in the fun.  So we can call this the first ever IJOV Roundtable, featuring some guests from around the pod’verse.

We have Marcus from Deadpan Fury – and Toners from Nyrdcast!

So, sit back, enjoy a rambling, unending, roundtable talk that circles around the topic a few times and occasionally ACTUALLY touches on it.

Ok, here we go!
