Preset Limits Jun 16, 2007

Show notes

For Show 47 Lando and I are taking a look at some of the things that we take as automatic components in our modern lives. Concepts like schooling, driving, and even religion get put under the spotlight as we try to figure out what human beings have adopted as "part of life" and whether any or all of those concepts are truly necessary.

Ramble On Jun 09, 2007

Show notes

This week's show has a bit of a rocky start, and in all honesty it is a much more wandering discussion than usual but there were some very good points we each made and so we thought it was still worth putting out. The aim of the show was to discuss personal accountability, or maybe more specifically whether we are losing the value of that idea. Along the way, we even hit some of the big topics like racism and political correctness. Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London Closing Music: "ET" by Peplab

Battle Royale (Part 1) Jun 02, 2007

Show notes

This week we're delivering a double-sized show where we debate some dream fights. Comics, movies, literature, history, we hit all the angles as we discuss and debate a variety of dream matches. Because we had so much to say, the show is split in half to make the listening a bit easier, and each segment has the fights we cover listed with it. First Round: James Bond "Goldeneye" Match Vision vs Martian Manhunter Wolverine vs Manji Marv vs The Maxx Angel vs The Rocketeer Gandalf vs Darth Vader Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London

Battle Royale (Part 2) Jun 02, 2007

Show notes

This is part 2 of our heated dream fight show. Second Round: Aquaman vs God Of Cities King Arthur vs Miyamoto Musashi Parallax vs Cosmic Thanos Doctor Strange vs John Constantine vs Hellboy Bullseye vs Ultimate Hawkeye Closing Music: "ET" by Peplab

The iTunes Mystery May 29, 2007

Show notes

Hey all, I've seen a few posts about iTunes not updating. I've been looking into it, and the problem is definitely on their side. To be honest, I've had nothing but issues with iTunes since we started the show and they have never given me a response that has helped. I can successfully ping the show, and it is updated through show 42 but we don't seem to be in the main listings anymore and 43 hasn't appeared. Not sure what more I can do, I've emailed their tech support and we'll see what they say. Until then, I can only offer the direct download option for iTunes users. I'll update you guys when and if I hear anything from the Jobs boys. UPDATE: OK, so I've changed a few things around and re-submitted the show with a new RSS feed. I'm waiting on Apple to confirm it's there, but the new RSS feed does already show the new shows in iTunes, so my guess is this should fix the problem. Please comment on this post and let me know what you guys experience with the new feed. UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: A new RSS feed is born! http://ozone.libsyn.org/rss Use this feed to replace what you have now, and future updates should be instant and the former iTunes weirdness should disappear. Thanks for the patience and emails, all is appreciated.

David Caruso, Best Actor....Ever May 28, 2007

Show notes

It is positively creepy how pertinent this was for me to find, especially considering our latest show: And now watch this to see that this tripe is noticed by many people: Comic GOLD people!

Truly, The Idiot Box May 26, 2007

Show notes

For Show 44 we delve into the surprisingly deep mire that is television these days. From content to culture, we examine where the boob tube is currently and where it may be heading. Are we on the brink of a new era, where we see the transformation of an iconic technology into something almost unrecognizable? Or will TV more or less always be the way it is, a creation that hit the nail so squarely on the head that it needs no evolution? More importantly, what value should this often vapid landscape hold for us as individuals? Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London Closing Music: "ET" by Peplab

Gods On Film May 19, 2007

Show notes

This week we got a fun one for ya. We're taking a look at the portrayals of the damned and the divine in film this go-round, examining the cinematic visions of God, Satan, angels, and demons. We're covering all genres and genders as we rank what we think are the best examples of these mystical entities on the big screen. In the process, we uncover the amusing truth that the most powerful of all these celestial characters is also the one who sees the least screen time. Could this be another of the greatest tricks the Devil ever pulled? Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London Closing Music: "ET" by Peplab

Clash Of The Titans May 16, 2007

Show notes

Hey guys, we're going to be recording a show soon where we'll be pitting characters from movies, comics, literature, myth, etc, against one another to see who would win. We're posting 5 of these matches ahead of time to get your input on them. Here are the 5: All the James Bonds (Last Man Standing match) Gandalf vs Darth Vader Battle Angel Alita vs Motoko Kusanagi John Constantine vs Doctor Strange vs Hellboy (Last Man Standing match) Wolverine vs Manji We want your thoughts on these fights. Who wins? Why? How? Not only that, if you have some good matches you think are worth talking about, post them! There's plenty of time before we record the show, so take a good few days or even a week and let us know what you think.

Forced Perspective May 12, 2007

Show notes

This week Lando and I are discussing the disturbing increase in people who are losing their perspective on the things that matter. Nitpicking on party affiliation instead of working to fix the problems in Iraq, sitting and back and relaxing without holding governments accountable, choosing sensationalism rather than truly hard news...there are times where we seem to want someone else to just take care of the big issues, ignore them in favor of assigning blame, or we simply can't seem to focus on what they are. And what's with that silly Electoral College anyway? Opening Music: "Fire In The Sky" by Dave London Closing Music: "ET" by Peplab
