Link to the Show / Show NotesOn this week's show:
-Kidney Stones (and Other Things that Might Hurt if Passed)
-Something Vaguely Entertaining
We start by observing the massive snowfall that recently buried the East Coast (which we managed to dodge most of.) We also pimp the idea of our âMissing Episodesâ, the few tracks recorded while life was getting in the way of living. We also pimp our Friday night LiveTweeting of whatever crappy movie Chiller is playing. Join us on Twitter (largo621 and sanguinist.)
We move into our first topic by looking at the horrible Senate version of the health care reform bill. Largo channels his inner Olbermann and asserts that both Joe Lieberman and Ben Nelson are,indeed, assholes. We also look briefly at the one shining ray of light that may be the reconciliation of the Senate and House bills before bitching a bit about the difference between Candidate Obama and President Obama. Don't worry, we try our best to make it funny. The Boy's reimagining of Michael Sambello's âManiacâ helps. And we swear a lot, just to make sure we earn that Explicit rating on iTunes. We close out the topic by wondering about which of the Not Quite Ready for the Beltway Players the Republicans are going to run against Obama and revealing the primary lesson from D&D that the health care reformers could learn.
Moving into SVE, we marvel at the length of time it's been since we last recorded a show before launching into our review of The Last Sect, a slice of cinematic excrement that almost manages to use vampirism as a metaphor for latent homosexuality. It also intercuts seemingly unrelated scenes featuring David Carradine before (poorly) fusing them together at the end.
We then join the reanimated corpse/killer The Archduke of Crap (and his gurney) and a well-fed Robert Englund for Heartstopper, a film bad enough to make The Last Sect look like Shakespeare. We speculate on just how much fun the MSTie crew would have with this one. The skits alone would have been worth it. Also, this film busts our rating system right open, given that it was an awful movie but we had so much fun mocking it.
After a brief detour on to Coconut Squid, the trailer for Iron Man 2, move onto the double feature of Jack Frost and Jack Frost 2. The good thing about watching these in reverse (as Largo did), makes the first one seem much better than it might have otherwise been (mostly because the second one is horrendously terrible. And not in the fun way.)
We close the show out by looking at Death Troopers, which fuses two of this show's loves: zombies and Star Wars (and two episodes of The Clone Wars that do the same), making plans to try and catch the end of David Tennant's run on Doctor Who before our next show, and a quick look at the Boy's latest video game acquisitions. Like a Boss.
