[BEST OF 2023] Elevator Pitch: Job Shows
Ending the year with our favorite episode – it was a unanimous decision. Both Rob and James get together and invent their own new television show.. where the prizes are weird and the reasons are stupid.
It is hands down our favorite from the year, so we’ll see you next week with something new – but until then, enjoy and Happy New Year!

The Wheel is back, and it’s got a job to do…
Ok, it doesn’t, that would be weird, it’s a Wheel. It has a job, and it does it well. We spin it, and it gives us the week’s topic. The topic though, well that’s a different job entirely. You see, if you have watched any television in the last twenty years, you have seen, at some point, a show about bakers or flower arrangers or glass blowers or taxis. Doing your boring-ass day job probably has its own channel on Pluto, so what happens when the Somethings get to make their own?
It’s a brand new episode of The Wheel – Elevator Pitch
Ok, here we g…..are you ready to face 5 other chat format podcasts on… PodWars!
[BEST OF 2023] Something In Review: Cocaine Bear
What’s the best thing about the holiday season? Is it snow? Well I hope you’re having a White Christmas and settle in as we discuss the delicious white gold of a bear going nuts on narcotics.
Merry Blowmas…

Every now and then, a movie comes out that’s “Based On Actual Events”. “The Courier” comes to mind, as does “Eight Men Out” and “Schindler’s List”. Well, now that list of movies must share the stage with the tale of a 500 lb bear that goes on a coke bender. This week, Hatton and Podcast Rob head to Georgia to take on “Cocaine Bear” in this episode of “Something In Review”!
Ok, here we blow!
[BEST OF 2023] Audience Pops w/ Tim Stevens
Back with another Best of – we brought in Something Bestie, Tim ‘Ungajje’ Stevens, to discuss some of the moments in cinema that make you stand up and clap.
It’s a great one, enjoy…
Original post:
What is a ‘pop’?
In professional wrestling terms, it’s the moment the crowd goes nuts. Maybe they’re cheering – maybe they’re booing, but there is a moment in a movie where the audience is so emotionally invested they can’t help but be there.
We’re talking about those moments.. but not alone! We are joined by long time SomethingFriend, Tim Stevens. You may know Tim from his time writing for any number of fantastic websites about the world of comics and pop culture. These days you can find him on TheSpool.net as well as The Wealth of Geeks. He’s also one bad shut yo mouth.
You ready to laugh? Ready to cheer? Ready to catch the ball to win the big game? Prepared to listen to a podcast you can’t help, but scream at?
Ok, here we OOOOoooh!
[BEST OF 2023] Bottom 5: Songs
Music fills our lives.. sadly, not all of it was created equal. The Somethings are heading into the deep end of the pool of ‘things we dislike’ as our next Best Of is Bottom 5: Songs…
Original Post:
Mmmm Bop, crappy songs ahh doo wop, a-zig-a-zig-ahhhh
We’ve done tons of favorite things. You guys are sick of the things we like, so how about the Wheel give us a little bit of loathing, huh? Shooting the big guns on our Bottom 5 songs. And let me tell you, we could do another 5.. easy.
Join us on The Wheel: Bottom 5.
Ok, here we eww….
[BEST OF 2023] Worst Accents in Movies
Ach! The Somethings have done their share of voices.. well, so have actors, and in some cases, we would prefer to listen to our own. Enjoy the Somethings mocking bad movie accents in this weeks best of!
Enjoy!
Original Post:
SAY E’LLO TO OUR LIT’LE PODCAST!
And unlike the picture perfect Pacino accent that previous sentence was written in, sometimes a movie can pull you right out when someone’s accent doesn’t exactly match their character. Are they an American with a Brit twang? Are they Southern and sound like they came straight from the Civil War? Are they a Spaniard and yet somehow sound precisely like they don’t give a damn about any of the movies in this franchise?
Well, we’re about to take them to task.
Did you read that with a perfect patois? You should, as you join us on Worst Accents in Movies
O’ah kay, here we go, an’ nobody gets our lucky charms!
[BEST OF 2023] Replaced Actors w/ Cthulu’s Prodigy
Not every movie is made equal, and some are made mighty unequal by the replacement of a key character.. we sat with friend Cthulu’s Prodigy and discussed.
Enjoy!
Original Post:
It has to be hard to make a sequel to a movie. Aside from trying to recapture the magic of the first one, you have to get this legion of performers to come back and find a perfect time where they aren’t working on other things… or, you know, you could just ditch em.
Actors are replaced in movies for a myriad of reasons, some tragic, some hysterical – so settle in as we discuss some of our favorite and least favorite replacements in film. We’re not going alone though – we are thrilled to have Cthulu’s Prodigy from Blacker Than Black Times Infinity to talk the movie talk with us. Make sure to give them a listen and tell em the Somethings sent ya.
Ok, here we .. ok, well not ‘we’ since we had to replace both hosts .. go!
[BEST OF 2023] Bottom 5: Actors
It’s Podcast Rob’s turn with a Best of, and this is the first (but not the last) visit to the Wheel. Isn’t it weird that we get the best content out of when we really dislike something?
See you next time!
Original Post:
Look, you can’t like everyone. It’s just impossible. I’m sure there’s at least one person out there in the universe that throws darts at a picture of me. Hell, some see it as a sign of a life lived well. Now, that said, when it comes to movies and television, some actors just aren’t our thing, either.
So join us as The Wheel goes out of its way to make Rob and I be assured we will never get those cushy Hollywood jobs we have been vying for all these years.
Find out which actors we just aren’t about on The Wheel’s Bottom 5: Actors
Ok here we ewww,
[BEST OF 2023] Sci-Fi 10 Year Anniversary
As is tradition, the Somethings are taking December off. That does not mean you aren’t getting Something Eps.. in fact, you are getting twice the amount of Something as we go through and list off our favorite episodes of the year on Mondays and Fridays.
So settle in as we dive into some of the good times we had, and make sure you stick around for some surprises along the way.
Happy Holidays!
Original Post:
We did it. We hit 10 Years.
A decade of Movies. Listicles. Bad impressions. Mysteries. Special Guests.
And yet somehow, in all of that, we’ve never talked directly about Science Fiction movies… like… what? How is that? It’s weird, isn’t it? Like it feels like a big miss. We looked through the episodes and – nope – no sci-fi. So we did it. Seemed like a great way to celebrate ten years.
This episode is broken down a little different. Mostly because I included the Patreon stuff to let you all know that we are, for now, closing down the Patreon. We thank those that joined in on it, but to put our energies into other things, some of which you’ll hear during the show, we needed to trim somewhere. Please note – if you are Patreon Member, your payment was cancelled for July, but we wanted to make sure you got to hear the ‘full unedit’ cut of the episode.
So, thank you all for being with us for these last ten years, and lets start the next 10 right.
Ready? Well ok, here we go… to SPACE!
