Top 10 Movies of 2016

Mildly Pleased ·

2017/01/19

If 2016 was a script, it would have been rejected for being unrealistic and unrelenting. Lots of people have written something like that, but I don’t have a lot of time to work on this post because it’s already so late. This week we talk about our individual top 10 lists and try to come […]

Top 10 TV Shows of 2016

2017/01/07

Makin’ those movie dreams on the small screen? It seemed impossible, the way things had been. But along came David Chase and Tony Soprano, and the world no longer loved Ray Barone a.k.a. Romano. Now the world’s a confusing and complicated place, there’s so much good stuff it’s hard to keep pace. Don’t believe me? […]

The Fifth Annual Mildly Pleased Awards

Mildly Pleased ·

2016/12/31

If you’re being honest, do all the non-Oscars movie awards shows matter to you? Do you care about the various guilds’ picks? What about lists from critics, newspapers, and blogs? Certainly you don’t care about the Golden Globes, right? Not really, at least, because all those people are going to be talking about the same […]

What will you do when they catch you? What will you do if they break you? If you continue to fight, what will you become? A listener of Some Kind of Movie, of course! We’re back to talk about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the ninth film in the franchise to get a theatrical […]

Many happy returns to the world of television! Mid-late September has historically been the time that the most important TV shows begin their seasons, although that’s been going the way of Blockbuster these last few years. Now that you can watch good stuff on your phone or whatever the kids are doing, the people needs […]

Rokk Talk Ep. 04: Can’t Buy A Thrill

Mildly Pleased ·

2016/08/26

Buying music. It used to be the only way of aquiring music, and now it’s something you’d have to pay most people to do against their will. On this episode, Colin and John take a look back at their earliest music-buying memories, as well as their takes on the way music consumption has changed as […]

Fifty years of trekking across the stars and we’ve received five televisions shows, thirteen movies, and still more to come. What a long strange trip it’s been. This week, Capt. Sean Lemme, Mr. John and Dr. Nancy review Star Trek: Beyond and search for life in the black hole that is 1984’s Star Trek III: […]

Stream Police Ep. 23: Monkeybone

2016/07/23

Looks like Michael and John have come down with a severe case of “Brendanmania” in this week’s review of the 2001 Fantasy/Action/Adventure masterpiece Monkeybone. Listen to a couple of bonafide Fraserphiles express their admiration for Brendan Fraser’s most personal project. It’s time to get boned.

2016/07/22

We all have a song in our hearts. The question is: do we all have a song worth hearing? Some of the celebs on this list seem to think so. This week, Colin and John talk about ill-fated heroes of Tinseltown who have attempted a transition from the silver screen to the bargain bin at […]

T3 100: A Farewell to Lists

Mildly Pleased ·

2016/07/21

The original idea for Top Ten Thursdays was a simple solution to two problems: one, writing T3 posts on the blog was a contentious, time-consuming affair and two, Da Podcasket was a meandering, directionless mess. So doing a podcast where we made lists seemed to be the perfect solution – it would be easier to […]

Top Stuff of 2016 So Far

2016/07/01

Hey buddy! Just wanted you to know that even though we are on the cusp of a post-T3 world, that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop doing the big, easy best of the year lists (for at least as long as we keep doing these irregular podcasts). That includes the top stuff of the year […]

Rokk Talk Ep. 02: DontGetIt

2016/06/14

Some people say, “I like all kinds of music.” Those people are either liars or pod people. Probably both. The truth is we all have different musical tastes. Nobody has the time to listen to and like everything. Meaning this week, John and Colin discuss some of the artists they have never gotten into. Maybe […]

2016/05/20

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the poet laureates of rock ‘n’ roll. The voices of promise. The guys who forced folk into bed with rock. Who disappeared into a haze of substance abuse only to emerge and find Jesus. Who were written off as has-beens only to shift gears and release some of the strongest […]

This week, Michael, John, and special guest Colin Wessman pay tribute to Prince with a review of the 1984 blockbuster hit Purple Rain. If you like sexy rock music, lots of purple and the August 2004 issue of Spin magazine, you’ll go crazy for this episode!

Whatever happened to predictability? It’s here on the latest episode of Stream Police! This week, Michael and John review the family-friendly/pathetic-nostalgia-cash-grab reboot Fuller House.

T3 99: Top 10 Tabletop Games

2016/04/08

Sometimes, it’s pretty obvious when our podcast would be controversial if we had a large audience. So go easy on us this time, OK? For us, board games are an activity, a socializing tool, a means of joke creation. It’s not our lifestyle. I can’t even convince the others to play Hearthstone, you really think […]

Pitching Tents 16: Oscar Bait

2016/02/25

It’s no secret that the Academy tends to gravitate toward certain types of motion pictures when it comes to handing out their coveted awards. This year’s batch of nominees doesn’t really buck that trend, featuring period pieces set in 1950s New York, stories ripped from the headlines that still apply to today, adaptations of well-regarded […]

T3 98: Top 10 Anticipated Movies of 2016

Mildly Pleased ·

2016/02/05

I like to look at these anticipated movie lists as reminders that we’re not trying to hate movies. That we’re not prejudging anything, that we want to give movies like Chappie a shot. Except for Colin, who decided his role in these would be to point out the most dreadful movies a given year has […]
