Episode One Hundred Sixty Three

Episode One Hundred Sixty Three

Episode One Hundred Sixty Three: "Simple, Penfold. I'll just dial 163 for a talking confession."

This week, we talk about some of the new shows that premiered this week, then we get into news stories that we've been sitting on since we started the Star Wars commentaries. We talk about the Occupy Wall Street protests, what has happened to the GOP and the people that attend the debates. We have a little audio from Rush Limbaugh, remember him? Some religious stories and a story about President Obama's drunk driving Uncle, and a whole lot more. It should be interesting.

Music this week is from:

The Art of War

The Ghastly Ones

Anti-Flag

The Stray Cats

Episode One Hundred Sixty Two

Episode One Hundred Sixty Two: "OK, we're even. 3 years of this. I don't think I have many lines left."

Welcome to our three year anniversary (birthday) episode. We talk a little about how the show came to be, but the bulk of the episode is spent talking about one of our favorite thing. Coincidentally, some of those favorite things cause us to argue, a lot. We revisit a couple of the early episodes and discuss how one million moms can ruin everybody's fun.

I want to give credit, but that might ruin it, so suffice to say, thank you. It was very humbling and greatly appreciated.

Music this week is from:
The Art of War
Robert Palmer
The Ghastly Ones
Social Distortion

Episode One Hundred Sixty One

Episode One Hundred Sixty One: "Lord Vader, this is an unexpected pleasure. We are honored by your presence.."

This week, we finish out the original Star Wars trilogy with episode IV, Return of the Jedi. A small glitch forced us to abandon the special edition version after the climactic duel between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. We pick up right where we left off with the unaltered original version.
Keep listening for feedback and a very special episode of "Scenes the way they should have happened" written by and starring Reverend Scott.

Music is from "The Art of War."

Next week is our 3 year anniversary. You don't have to do anything special, or call or write in... just sayin'. Three years without missing a week. That's a long time. Kind of a big deal.

Episode One Hundred Fifty Nine

Episode One Hundred Fifty Nine: "I told you she would never consciously betray the Rebellion."

This week Chris and Frank forgo the usual news, politics, religion and stupidity and offer up a change: running commentary for Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Why? Well, to be honest, why not? The commentary has some good parts, but there is a lot of name calling and crude words. So, pretty much par for the course, I guess. We hope you enjoy it. Next week, we will be tackling The Empire Strikes Back and the week after will be Return of the Jedi. Then the episode after, will feature a detailed review of the blu-ray releases.

Music this week is from:
The Art of War

Episode One Hundred Fifty Eight

Episode One Hundred Fifty Eight: "Oh they will know about it, Burke. From me. Just like they'll know that you were responsible for the deaths if 158 colonists here."

Question: Should everyone involved in the 9/11 attacks be labeled as heroes? There were heroes to be sure, but there were victims as well. Does calling everyone a hero lessen the impact of the word? Des is lessen the acts of those that ran in the buildings when others were running out? Does it elevate the victims to a level that maybe they shouldn't be at? Frank raises the question and it's not as easy an answer as you might think. Also, we start this episode with some real movie reviews, with grades and everything!

Episode One Hundred Fifty Five

Episode One Hundred Fifty Five: "Quit butting in please. Your IQ is a mere 155 while mine is a muscular 170."

This week, we start the show talking about Harry Potter and Green Lantern. This leads nicely into our first story, Glenn Beck is OUTRAGAGED with the new mixed-race Spider-Man! OUTRAGED! Now, never mind that it in the Ultimate series and Peter Parker is still around in other books. Also, never mind that in 1992, there was a series called Spider-Man 2099 that featured a future web slinger by the name of Miguel O'Hara. This is apparently Michelle Obama's fault. Also, Glenn asserts that the new Spidey is probably gay too. How that matters, I have no idea, but consider the source.

Links for other stories covered are below.

Pat Buchanan calls President Obama "Your boy" while speaking to Al Sharpton.
