Episode 37 – Epic Fantasy
The two men, armed with their wits, a giant sword, a couple of shields, a nearly dead horse, and on they went to the mysterious fantastical land of magic and creatures that could tear them asunder without even blinking. Yet, here they go… the Somethings are taking a journey into the land of fantasy. They will climb grand mountains to deposit jewelry, they’ll go to school to face he who probably shouldn’t be mentioned. They’ll rip a sword out of a rock in the hopes to ascend to royalty.
It’s time for the Somethings to be what they haven’t been before… Fantastic.

Episode 36 – The Hatton Episode.. no, really.
This episode started as was planned. The Somethings had a list, they were ready to riff on some stuff they knew about.. and lo and behold it all changed in one fail swoop. One of the Somethings decided that he should blindside the other Something into an entire episode about .. well .. one of the Somethings. Apparently, a webcomic’s 10 year anniversary was enough of a reason to go all James Lipton on what should have been a podcast about dragons. FINE. THANK YOU. I GUESS… Geez.
Anyway – yes, this podcast focuses mostly on the life and times of one James Hatton, webcomic creator, and all around nifty guy. You like dots? This episode has TONS of em’.
…rassum frassum good friends don’t nice things …
Episode 35 – Movie Soundtracks
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Welcome to the first episode of the New Year with the Somethings! Sometimes what makes or breaks a great movie is a great soundtrack. If you were to film your grand fantasy epic and not call on the sweet sound of Tangerine Dream, we know your movie will fail. So are going to talk about some of the great movies that we love specifically because you can listen to one of the songs and you are immediately transported back to the world created. I have very little funny to say here, honestly.. so instead I’ll remind you guys that we need you guys to submit some of your topics over to our Facebook page and email so we can keep stealing your ideas! (I kid)
Ok, 2015… here we go!
Episode 34 – Christmas-ish Movies
If feels like forever since the boys came at you with a new episode, I bet. Well it’s been a few weeks, definitely… but now we’re back just in time to drink some Nog and sit around the warm glow of the television with some of our favorite Holiday’ish flicks. Some of these movies are directly related to a holiday, but others insinuate it. These are some of the best Christmas(y) sort of films we could come up with – or at least the ones we like.
Also, from James and Rob to all of you – have a safe and happy holiday and we look forward to more Something’ing in 2015!
Episode 33 – Boardgames!
It’s a race, it’s a chase, hurry up and feed your face!
Ok, so that’s the best I can do to tie this episode to Thanksgiving. The Somethings are coming to you with another nerd passion that has in recent years entered a golden age, board games! Some folks stopped playing games when they were little kids, but guess what, those people are boring. We’ve been rolling dice for a long time and we want to talk about some of our favorite old games, new games, and the universe of boardgaming that is close to our hearts. So grab your Meeple, you’ll Boggle at the Monopoly we have! You Catan’t miss it!
Throughout the show we make mention of friends of the show, Quixotic Games and we wanted to point out their games in case you want to check them out:
- Andrew Parks’ Canterbury
- WizKids D&D Attack Wing: Starter Set
From the Somethings to all of you – Happy Thanksgiving!
Episode 32 – Cancelled Too Soon
So there you are, you are watching your favorite show, and the cliffhanger was SO GOOD! I mean, how is he going to escape from that thingy?! Is she REALLY having a baby?! What’s happened to the President?! IS THAT ALIENS!? Seriously, we have watched tons of shows, where sometime in May, we’re asking those questions.. and then September hits and.. ..nothing.. nada… absolutely nothing.
Why? Because television producers HATE you and want to see you cry on the internet. The Somethings have collected your tears, and now we’re ready to share them with the world as we talk about shows that were taken from us before their time was up.
Let’s talk cancelled television – Ok, here we go!
Episode 31 – Creature Features
We’re only a few short days from Halloween, so it is time for the Somethings to start looking under their bed, making sure that the doors are locked, and to seriously stop summoning the dark lords of the Underworld.
That’s right, to celebrate the haunting season, the boys are talking about some of their favorite movie creatures. In the past they have talked about some of their favorite movies – but what about the dark creatures that linger in their favorite films? From the biggest supernatural baddies to the creepiest of crawlies and all creatures in between… get ready – they’re hanging out at Wild Pig Comics and making podcast ‘magic”
Ok, here we ghoul…
Episode 30 – Bond, James Bond Part 2
One year ago, the Somethings brought to you the first of a 35 part series – Bond, James Bond. Well this time we’re covering Lazenby and Moore. From the music to the gadgets to the Bond girls to the villains, the Somethings are going to shake you.. not stir you. Wait, that makes us sound bad. Nevermind, ignore that. We’re going to Jaw your NickNacks…. you know what, I have nothing here, so I shall give you no Moore. …get it? It’s the Bond episode, Part 2!
If you are looking for Part 1, look no further: Bond, James Bond Part 1
BUT WAIT! DON’T GO AWAY!
One last thing – The Somethings have our Halloween episode all figured out, but we thought it would be cool if we invited you to help us decide what to do in November, so – if you have a Facebook account, CLICK HERE and vote on what topic you think we should hit up next. Thanks!
Episode 29 – Bad Movies
Perhaps you’ve noticed that the Somethings have a love of the finest of cheeses. Whether it be a delicious action movie that is slathered with green screen or a science fiction romp that you can just smell the paint peeling in your living room as you watch it. The Somethings are connoisseurs of this special brand of cheese…. the bad movie.
Now, we all have the movies we love that other people’s raise an eyebrow when you start quoting. The simple fact that you know more than a single quote from an eyefeast such as Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon let alone can recite most of it in interpretive dance is confusing to a high percentage of the world.
Not us.
Join the boys as the topic today is the movies that you can’t help just love to love, even when nobody else gets it…. it’s time for some fun bad cinema.
Episode 28 – Spin The Wheel: DragonLance!
Sometimes the Somethings aren’t the most prepared of all podcasts. I mean, there are some shows out there that do tons of research and preprep and all that.. well, it should be known by now that the boys sometimes are a little more ‘fly by the seat of their pants’ kinda guys.
So, this week we try something altogether new… the RANDOM WHEEL OF STUFF!
I know the title & picture kinda gives it away, but try and act surprised anyway, ok?
If there is something that brings us all together it’s our collective love of nerddom, and nothing speaks to the deep spine of that nerdyness then books about elves, warriors, barbarians, dwarves, mages, and kender going on a mission to save the world!
Two footnotes: Given its obscurity, you can find our end of show song by Pyramaze, right here.
And lastly, Hatton is trying to push a new project – a Choose your Own Adventure for adults. He’s crowdfunding it, so it won’t happen without your help! Give it a look at DecideYourFate.net
Okay, here we go!
