Episode 79 – Luke Cage
When Netflix calls – we move forward. Always forward.
You are correct, the boys are back with the newest installment in the Netflix Marvel Universe. We have seen what goes down in Hell’s Kitchen. We have had our Alias investigated. Now it is time to check out who runs Harlem.
As has become a SomethingCast tradition, we can’t take on a character like Cage without a little help, so we brought our favorite dulcet toned delight, Tim ‘Ungaije’ Stevens (Check out his Psyche Ward at Marvel!). Please settle in while we talk the history of the character, the concepts of the show, the connections with the Marvel U, and more.
How does Cage rank amongst the rest – now’s the time to find out with your Podcast For Hire.
Ok, here we go!
Episode 78 – Bad Movie Endings
(And in a rare instance – both of us did an opening graphic! Collect the whole set)
Not all movies are created equal. Some movies, from the get go, you watch them with full intent to laugh at the badness. Other movies you have high expectations for and they are everything you have ever wanted. They surpass your wildest dreams.
Then there those movies that, whether or not you expected it or not, the ending screws the pooch. Maybe it would have been a better movie with a different ending, or maybe the ending just tears down the journey. Whatever the case is… bad endings are very different than bad movies, although they do love to walk hand in hand.
To attack this topic, we have brought in fellow podcasters, Octopus Caveman from Getting F*d Up With Octopus Caveman (amongst others) and the Green Korean from Faces & Aces, Las Vegas!
Get ready – here
Episode 77 – Martial Arts Movies
A New Challenger Has Joined The Battle!
SOMETHINGCAST vs. KUNGFU DRIVE-IN
ROUND 1 … FIGHT!
That’s right – we’re back and we’re bringing a sparring partner in Jeof from Kung-Fu Drive-In to talk about the best in movies about people hitting each other.
So movie your feetsa to Daddy Green’s Pizza and get ready to Enter The Cast!
Episode 76 – Disaster Movies
The earth shakes.
The ground trembles.
Lava flows from the snow.
The world gets super super cold.
Then… … … the aliens come.
That’s right, when it comes to movies, every horrible thing has befallen man – and recorded in the archives, the boys are here talking about the greatest problems that movie earth has been faced with. From the sky. From the ground. From nature itself. We are talking about Disaster Movies.
Also, right from the beginning of the episode – we are giving you a sneak peek of the new SOMETHING PATREON!
There is no where to run – no where to hide. Ok, here we go!
Episode 75 – Swerve Movies
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 74 – Stranger Things
It’s time for the boys to head umop apisdn.
In another in a long string of shows that everyobody must binge watch lest they feel the wrath of the nerdy portions of the internet, Hatton and Rob are no different and have succumbed to the newest and hottest streaming thing, Stranger Things.
So join them as they find themselves stepping sideways through the rift between this world and another, bringing along a mysterious new friend who might or might not have otherworldly powers…
Reminisce about all those things that the show reminded them of and join in the conversation here or on all of our social media. Then, stick around for some important stuff at the end of the episode about the future of the Somethings and where else you might find them these days.
PS – Lookin for vinyl – Ask Hatton.
PS^2 – Looking for a neat shirt – Ask Rob.
Ok, here we stay or here we go, now…
Episode 73 – Alien Movies
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.
Episode 72 – Cover Songs (w. Ice and the Face & CS Swampfox)
Sometimes the remake is better than the original.
Hell, we’re better than all of the podcasts we regularly steal from. (This is not true (probably)).
But when it comes to music, there are great musicians and there are great songs. Sometimes great musicians are known for songs that they didn’t write, but for music that they fundamentally made their own. Whether that is through style, vocal quality, tone, or a thousand other factors – but seriously, who doesn’t love a well put together cover song.
So we got a couple of folks who know a little SomethingSomething about music and asked them to join us this week.
First is a guy that you have heard a thousand times, yet never got a chance to listen to – the man who wrote the Something Theme – CS Swampfox!
Second is two of our friends from NJ and #PodernFamily – it’s Rick & Sara from AwesomeTalk.TV – aka Ice & The Face (and Life With Lyme)!
**And if you dig this week’s end song – be sure to click on The World Is Not Enough**
So whether it’s a new wave hit, a heavy metal remake, or a dirge made dirgier… ok, here we go!
Episode 71 – Three-Year Anniversary @ Wildpig!
Three Years Ago….
A former podcaster, writer, and internet weirdo Rev. James was lingering in a local watering hole when he heard a voice he hadn’t heard in years. The bombastic laughter of one Mr. Podcast Rob.
Considering the idea of getting back into the podcast game, over the course of the next few times hanging out, the idea became clear.
After a meeting of the minds (or whatever it is they have in their skulls) – The SomethingCast was born.
Well join us once again as we celebrate our leather anniversary. (Yeah, it’s leather.. look it up.. don’t make anything of it) We’re back at the Something’s home away from home, Wildpig Comics in Kenilworth, NJ with store owner Chris and manager Bill talking the last year of comickiness in front of a live audience.
Also a quick shoutout to friend and regular Tim ‘Ungaije’ Stevens who wasn’t able to make it – but we’ll make sure to get him back on the line soon to be smarter than us.
And to all of you who have supported us over the years – be you friend, family, fan, podcast – thank you. We couldn’t do it without you.
Well – ok – here we go!
Episode 70 – You Again Interview
Hey apparently people think we’re neat.
We were recently contacted by a couple cool cats from the upcoming webseries You Again – and we got not just a sneak peek of their show, but a chance to talk with them about the process.
Meet Audra – lil bit crazy, and Zander – lil bit nerdy. They’re about to move in together because .. well.. because Audra.
