How did the Hutts Rise to Power? (Feat. Mr Sunday Movies) May 04, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes take a trip to Nal Hutta, start chatting to the locals and endeavour to start a criminal empire as we question just how the Hutts rose to power. We try to figure out how slug like the Hutts actually are, dry retch at the idea of Hutt Grease, and wonder if Hutts are just all muscle. Jackson proposes a symbiotic relationship between Hutts and Salacious Crumbs, James points out the similarities between Marlon Brando and the Hutts, and Zammit just wishes he could say Twilek without thinking of the delicious Twix chocolate caramel cookie bar, available from all good confectionary stores now. Twix. It’s the only one with the cookie crunch. So watch in awe as the Hutts exchange their evolutionary advantages for a life of crime, make human women dance for their entertainment and slither head first into the Great Pit of Carkoon.Want to help fund a study to prove the Hutt-Crumb hypothesis?

What are the Ramifications of Liar Liar? Apr 27, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes make a wish, blurt out the truth without thinking and hijack an airport staircase, all while wondering what the ramifications of Liar Liar are? We look at how much of Fletcher’s motivation comes from redemption versus compulsion, if he should have a spin-off buddy film with Robocop, try to figure out if the kid making the wish has magical powers and as a group completely misunderstand how the powers of the wish work. Jackson wants Fletcher to use his powers for good, Zammit is convinced Jim Carrey knows everything and Duscher just wants people to stop comparing things to the film Lucy. It’s a case of disorder in the court as we try desperately to lie and just end up with blue ink all over our faces.Want to help us come up with a wish based truth serum?

What's Gonna Happen in the Avengers? (Feat. Mr Sunday Movies) Apr 22, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes study up on the latest rumours, disregard it all in favour of wild accusations before turning to outright lies as we speculate what’s gonna happen in the Avengers 2: Age of Ultron. We predict inevitable character deaths, inevitable infinity stone reveals and inevitable trips for Hulk into space. Zammit explains the popularity of Russian ballet troops in the 60s, James thinks we should edit our episodes less and Duscher just wishes we could start predicting the events of Avengers: Infinity War. So take what we say with a grain of salt because in the end, it’s all just guesswork. But we do know one thing for certain; Captain America is gonna to shine bright like a bloody diamond, regardless of what Jeremy Renner says. Fuck off Hawkeye.Want to help fund an expedition to bring Hulk back from outer space where he is clearly going?

Is Daredevil a Better Batman Than Batman? (Feat. Mr Sunday Movies) Apr 20, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes move from Gotham to Hell's Kitchen, request the services of Nelson and Murdoch, consulting the Avocados at Law to get their opinion on whether Daredevil is a better Batman than Batman. We look at exactly how much of a hassle the Joker is, wonder how being a superhero lawyer works morally and the logistics of Batman's sleep cycle. Zammit is scared of the Demon Bat that lurks beneath Gotham, James explains how Daredevil has the perfect secret identity and Duscher just lies about watching Ghostbusters again. It's Batman v Daredevil as we put both to the test and work out once and for all just who is the better bat and who is the better man.Want to help keep Matt Murdoch away from homelessness?

The Problems of Being Frozen in Time (Feat. Mr Sunday Movies) Apr 13, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes bid farewell to their time period, crash a plane into the snow, and slowly become encased in ice while wondering what the ramifications would be if we woke up sixty years in the future. We imagine horrifying future porn, the nature of lactic acid and Rove McManus’ quest for relevancy. Jackson wonders how meaningful Captain America’s relationship with Peggy actually was, James believes watching any of the Saw films would cause Steve Rogers to commit suicide, and Zammit just wishes people would stop viewing the past through rose tinted glasses. So wave goodbye to your loved ones, scream at the overwhelming lights of Times Square and try to cope with a future you are not part of. It’s almost as depressing as realising Hawkeye twerks better than you.Want to help us employ Christopher Lloyd for wacky time-travel based practical jokes?

Ethical Concerns of Meta Human Prisons (Feat. Mr Sunday Movies) Apr 06, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes get caught in a particle accelerator explosion, gain the power of speed and start putting other powered people in windowless boxes underground with the blessing of our cop dad and never once question any ethical dilemmas that might arise. We attempt to sue the Hulk, suggest meta humans should have their own system of law, and explore the bitchiness of the Justice League. Jackson points out that Flash's MO is the same as a Batman villain, Zammit could not deal with a solid 20 minutes in a box, and James proposes a virtual reality prison for meta humans. So ask your policeman daddy to give you carte blanche to kidnap people, tap into the speedforce, and decide who's box-worthy. The answer is usually anything that isn’t you.Want to help us find an ethical way to treat these superpowered criminals?

How Did New York Cope Before the Ghostbusters? Mar 30, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes open up a competing paranormal extermination business, buy some second hand proton packs and immediately cross the streams while wondering what New York did with all the ghosts before the Ghostbusters turned up? We discuss the transit responsibilities of Slimer, the government’s role in preventing possibly apocalypses, and the very real danger of warlocks. Jackson's not sure ghosts are a problem, Zammit is worried for his immortal soul, and Duscher just recently watched the film. So join the gang as they struggle to protect the world from something that might not even be a threat. Who you gonna call? Not the Ghostbusters. They have no kind of academic credibility.Want to help us stop the next generation of Ghostbusters meddling with the natural progression of life and death?

Why isn't Nightcrawler Fat? Mar 23, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes open the fridge, consider exercise, and decide teleportation is much easier. We discuss Joel Duscher’s patented Mutant Bird Theory, the X-Mansion patented Food-Ball, and how unlike a school Xavier's School for Gifted Students really is. Jackson can't imagine Scott Summers stopping in for a sneaky Maccas run, Zammit discovers he smoked cigarettes wrong, and Duscher decides to educate the gang on the nature of antibiotics. So turn the Danger Room into a gym, pluck an apple from Xavier’s orchard, and try not to turn your mutant powers into a crutch. It’s time to save the world and there’s no short cuts when the stakes are this high.Want to help Xavier cut down on his food bill?

What Happened to the Spidermen Program? (Feat. Mr Sunday Movies) Mar 16, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes become scientists, blast a spider with radiation, and instantly move on. We discuss the eternal stupidity of comic books, the travesty that is the Amazing Spiderman franchise, and the tragedy of an intelligent Rhino. Jackson would rather not be put on the S.Q.U.I.D Project, Zammit expresses his issues with Symbiotes, Mr Sunday Movies wonders why the military already had a goblin mask, and Duscher just wants Tobey Maguire to come back. So chuck on your lab coat, choose an animal at random then forget about it and become super negligent. It's an amazing, sensational, superior, web of kind of time.Want to help restart the Spidermen program?

Who is Peter Quill's Father? Mar 09, 2015

Show notes

In which our heroes get hooked on a feeling, get high on believing and try to figure out the identity of Peter Quill’s father. We look at the potential of DCs Hawkman swinging by, the rather selective colour palette of Marvel’s aliens and whether or not Mama Quill banged a bird. Jackson doesn't know enough about the Marvel Universe to make a reasonable guess, Zammit uses his extensive knowledge to make a couple of possible candidates but ruins it all by making a planet sized error, and Duscher inevitably suggests the only man right for the job. So gather your team of mismatched antiheroes, hold onto an infinity gem for far too long, and try and do a something good. Or something bad. Really, it’s up to you, we’re not your father.Want to help Star Lord afford a paternity test?
