A Special Presentation 264: The Spirit [2 of 2]

Frank Miller was a big deal, briefly, right after Sin City and 300, so they thought, heeeey, why not let him write and direct the big screen debut of Will Eisner's superhero comic strip The Spirit? Frank Miller brings his signature style and incomprehensible fashy sensibilities to this big of hot garbage. Never have you watched Samuel L Jackson and Scarlet Johansen embarrass themselves so!

A Special Presentation 262: Transformers One

2024/10/14

Technically, we're cheating on this episode, but it's OUR show, so we can cheat if we want to: We both happened to see that new Transformers movie, Transformers One, so we thought we would talk about it. Ethan, a life-long Transformers fan and aficionado, and Mike, perpetual newbie, have big opinions on this film. In short: It's pretty darn good! If you like robots and sci fi, give it a shot!

So technically, this counts cuz the Addams Family was a comic! For legal reasons, they had to bury this episode of The New Scooby Doo Movies where Scooby Doo meets the Addams Family! Mike and Ethan have very different opinions on Scooby Doo, but first enjoy a prolonged conversation about MEAT.

We're back to our roots, watching Peanuts specials! God, there's so many of these. There's like a million of them. This week, we're looking at "You're the Greatest, Charlie Brown" and "You're a Good Sport, Charlie Brown" - two Peanuts specials about Charlie Brown being forced to participate in team sports that he hates! He actually wins, though. WHAAA!??

A Special Presentation 259: Popeye w/ Morbiose!

A Special Presentation, or Alf Will Not Be Seen Tonight ·

2024/09/23

One of our favorite recurring guests Morbiose returns to talk about Popeye... and not just ANY Popeye, but the live action motion picture starring Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall. Morbiose has good feelings for MOST of this film, except for ONE thing, and Mike is really mad about Harry Nilson's funeral dirge music.

Archie's big appeal is that he makes being a teenager look SO COOL. So what if Archie was middle-aged? What then, smart guy? This TV special about Archie's high school reunion posits just such a scenario -- and the crazy thing? It's not too bad. But you wouldn't think it considering that we mostly talked about Christian media rip-offs and fucking the muppets.

2024/08/05

Hollywood Dog was a pilot for a proposed live action/animated sitcom about a dog that lived in Hollywood, based on the comic from the LA Weekly by R.P. Overmyer. For a long time, this was considered lost media - but now it's been found! It's exactly what you would expect from a show called Hollywood Dog, but join us for a discussion of early 90s commercials and our very good ideas for a political movement based on free chips.
