A Few Words on Before Watchmen

Wed, 01 February 2012 18:00:00 GMT

In the coming days and weeks -- and then again when the books are set to be released this summer -- you'll be hearing a lot about Before Watchmen, the prequel to the critically acclaimed Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. As of this moment we're still only working on scraps of details; the creators involved and that the prequel will be a series of miniseries is all that's known, leaving the plots as question marks for the moment. And even if we knew the plots, it wouldn't smother the indignation that comic book readers are feeling. The idea of this project is one thing, but to actually bring it to life is another thing. And that, I will assume, is where most people will focus their anger. However, my stance is far from that.

Big Damn Heroes 19

Wed, 01 February 2012 14:00:00 GMT

It's episode 19, and Hannah is pretty sure that the Heroes have stumbled into Bizzaro World. Why? Well, because this season of Buffy isn't sucking anymore. In fact, it's actually good. Like, really good. Meanwhile, Angel kinda sucks. Oh, someone dies, and a familiar face returns. Also included are discussions of whether or not Doctor Who took inspiration from a certain episode, the realization that Doug Jones is following them, and use of the foreshadowing hammer! And there's plenty of nightmare fuel to go around, folks, so come on in, and sit down as Hannah and Will cover "Something Blue" and "Hush" from Buffy, and "Hero" and "Parting Gifts" from Angel.

This week, Darryll likes train movies. So, buckle up and please don't travel between cars, as he and Desmond check the tickets of the unsung hero of 1970s exploitation: Night Train Murders. Then Devil Dinosaur, Jr. takes a look at the classic Night of the Demon in a new Stay Scary. And this is the week we make it official as Tom Deja presents Macabre Musical Theatre. Other than the one Tom sings, songs included: "Coincidenze (Film Mix)" by Ennio Morricone, "Strangers on a Train" by Lovage, "Fear of the Dark" by Iron Maiden, and "Partytime (Zombie Version)" by 45 Grave.

Dropped D 02.06

Sun, 29 January 2012 18:20:00 GMT

It's a Huge Conspiracy! The Guns N' Roses era of Dropped D ends with a whimper. The boys cover the lamented Chinese Democracy this week in the final GNR episode, because, let's face it, there won't be another. Even if there is, Desmond will be long dead by then, and Damien will be busy transferring his stock in Mountain Dew Corp. into his retirement funds. So enjoy it while it lasts. Axl is a time traveler, Paul Huge rears his ugly head, a wager is made, and all sorts of nasty shenanigans are gone through. What do old Damien and Desmond sound like? Also, how old was the babysitter Desmond hired? When is it acceptable to have "sha-na-nas" in your lyrics? And, finally, what is the next band your intrepid podcasters will cover? Questions for the ages, my friends. [ 1:26:25 || 41.4 MB ]

Big Damn Heroes 18

Fri, 20 January 2012 15:50:00 GMT

We've hit episode 18, and our word for today is "abysmal." As in, "Buffy, season four." The Heroes cover some of the worst episodes in a while, but it's all worth it as they make it to a watermark episode of this season of Angel. Highlights of this episode include: Hannah having a small freak out over possibly the worst anthropologist in the history of ever, and Will instructing us on how to properly cook your Thanksgiving dinner. Join Hannah and Will as they cover Buffy's "The Initiative" and "Pangs", and Angel's "Bachelor Party" and "I Will Remember You." Also, you made a bear. [ 1:15:52 || 26.8 MB ]
