A Podcast About Something

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOOOOOWWWWWWNNNN!!! Kalvin and Nick present the series finale of A Podcast About Something with a clips show style challenge. We take several clips from the last 3 and half years of A Podcast About Something and see if we can guess which episode the clip comes from as we say goodbye to our podcast. The winner of this challenge gets to take home the A Podcast About Something Cup! 

Have you ever had a movie franchise that appealed to you crash and burn? Something that had 1, 2, or even 3 good outings before the world was treated to a hot pile of garbage that brought it to a swift and unsatisfying end? Sadly, us too, and it’s much more common than we thought! For our final outing in our Movie Superlatives franchise we had to hand out our five fundamental somethings on Movies that killed their respective franchises! Who was the best hero in a death knell movie? What was the best cliffhanger that left us wanting more with nothing to show for it? What’s the best reboot or franchise? We dive into the superlatives and sucklatives of all things franchise killing with some answers that may surprise (No MCU stanning here!) if you enjoy the superlatives series, check out our numerous past episodes covering pretty much every type of movie. Stick around until the end to hear what we will be working on next, and don’t forget to let us know what you think on Twitter @APASomething and @alone_podcast!

Whoa boy do we have an excellent choice for our final, that’s right final, episode in our Selective Listening series! My Heart Will Go On by the great Celine Dion is the star of our show this time around. You may ask yourself why that sounds so familiar, and it’s because it was one of the most popular soundtracks to one of the most popular films of all time from Titanic. Did a family member of yours regale you with this beautiful tune? What exactly does it mean? Throw in a little twist regarding how each line relates to this podcast and this episode will make you feel like the King of the World! Our hearts will go on after the show ends, but will yours? Check out the links below for the cool things we will be doing once this show comes to a close, as well as everything else A Podcast About Something!

Welcome to the first episode of our Finale Month! We wanted to kick off Finale Month in the same place we started this podcast with a remixed version of the MCU! The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a force to be reckoned with, both monetarily and popularly, but it had to start somewhere and some might say an eternity ago in the ancient year of 2008 with a “washed up” actor and a C-level comic book character at the proverbial chrome helm. We lay out the 5 fundamental somethings of the MCU, including who are the best heroes, villains, shows and movies as well as what the future holds and where we got our start! If you were a hero in the MCU who would you be? Let us know on Twitter @APASomething and @alone_podcast.

Way back in 2018, Kalvin was joined by Kyle and Steven from the Bore Meets World podcast to discuss one of the most iconic brothers in television history. The episode has been locked in a vault for almost 3 years hoping to never see the light of day, but with A Podcast About Something soon coming to an end, we finally had to release it for the world to hear! Enjoy the long awaited episode all about Eric Matthews and what he meant to the Boy Meets World universe. Check out the links below for more from A Podcast About Something

Kalvin and Nick are Kung Fu fighting on this month's Movie Superlatives episode. We sift through years of Kung Fu movies to find the best and worst to ever do it when it comes to hand to hand combat. We award styles, choreographies, protagonists and more and then we reveal our favorites Kung Fu (movie) masters! Check out the links below for more from A Podcast About Something!

Yesssss, finally, we have come back around to the most cathartic of episodes! Our annual airing of grievances (part 3) has arrived and it’s our best one yet. Now that our lives aren’t completely dominated by a pandemic, we are reminded of all the other little stuff that used to (and still does) piss us off.  Some stuff has a way of really grinding our gears, and it’s something we are sure we share with you in some way. Blippi, skimping popcorn chicken, the gym, getting buried in candy (it’s worse than you would think), the Mandela Effect and Robert Kraft all show their pissy little faces with more on the sidelines as well. Join us on Twitter @APASomething and @alone_podcast and air some of your grievances! Check out the links below for our other sessions of grievance airing and everything else from A Podcast About Something.

Now that it has been awhile since the disastrous 8th season of Game of Thrones, we think it’s time to visit the subject again. Arguably, the event that kick started the events that we loved as fans for at least 5 seasons, The Tourney at Harrenhal! Shrouded in mystery during a time period of much calamity, the Tourney was one of the biggest butterfly effect events that occurred throughout fake history. Shadow alliances, attempts at a coup, marriage and love were all present and dialed up to 11. It’s most certainly poignant that it occurred at one of the most expensive castles ever built while hosting the best knights that have ever lived as the spark of Robert’s Rebellion is ready to explode and tear apart the realm. Also, who the F&%k is the Knight of the Laughing Tree? Let us know who you think it is on Twitter @APASomething and @alone_podcast!

The NBA Center position, once as pivotal to the game as quarterbacks in the NFL, has changed a lot over the years. The 5 spot has arguably changed more than any other position in the sport, which bodes well for us as we detail our five (but really six) fundamental somethings about our favorite Centers in NBA history. Not the best mind you, but our favorite. Trust us, our taste is impeccable! We touch on all aspects of the position as we make our choices, from unbelievable stats to game changing strategies. If you’re feeling the breakdown, check out each of our other episodes on NBA positions in the feed below and let us know your favorite center on Twitter @APASomething and @alone_podcast!

The year is 2011. You stand around the water cooler talking about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Pt. 2 and naturally, the conversation stretches back to the Harry Potter catalogue. You argue with your colleague, what’s the best use of magic? What’s the best evil plan in the series? Best use of magic or Best (or worst) Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher? Now bring yourself back to the present because we’re here to hit you right in the nostalgia part of your brain as we hand out our patented made-up awards to the Harry Potter franchise! We even include The Fantastic Beasts franchise in our pool of choices as we award the best in a series full of highs as well as the worst, which, come on, there is some of that in here too. Would you reboot the franchise and how would you go about it? Let us know on Twitter @APASomething and @alone_podcast and listen in cuz we have a couple thoughts of our own!
