Bad Ideas Podcast

Threatin made headlines earlier this year after the new broke that they were playing to nearly empty rooms, despite apparently having a massive following on Facebook and YouTube. What quickly came to light was that this was a venture built on fake followers, paid YouTube views, and a mountain of fictitious organizations that all existed to inflate the apparent fame of one man: Jered Eames. This is his story.

This week our heroes take on The Island of Dr. Moreau. Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer couldn't even keep this flop from tanking. in fact they actually worked to make that happen. We cover the weirdness of Skip the Warlock, the improbable path of Richard Stanley, and so much more!

Nintendo had a hit in 1982. America LOVED their arcade game Donkey Kong. But Universal City Studios wanted a piece of Nintendo's pie, so they sued, alleging that Donkey Kong was just a rip-off of King Kong. This is the story of that legal battle, and how it shook out for the two giant primates and their respective owners.

Smell-O-Vision is a mostly failed technology for movies that has been around since the 1930s. Wether it is cost, lingering scents, or a whole myriad of other problems, the technology never took off. Al and Tony detail the weirdness that is Smell-O-Vision.

In 1845 in Yarmouth England a crowd of people were gathered on a bridge to see a clown. But the bridge failed and hundreds of people fell into the waters of the River Burr. This is the story of that disaster it's aftermath and its causes.

The Swatch company wanted to change time as we know it. Using 1000 beats in a day, they would get rid of pesky seconds, minutes, and hours. No longer will we be held under the yoke of the 24 hour system! And it'll be on Swiss international time.

TECHNICALLY speaking the Judgement of Paris is not a thing that actually happened in history, but we can still learn something from the choices various characters in the story made. Unfortunately we'll probably NEVER be able to understand why so many artists over the years were interested in painting three beautiful naked ladies.

When the evil Brand X comes to town, only Dex Dogtective can stop the supermarket from being laid to waste. And only Tony and Al can tell why this monstrous piece of garbage actually exists. Foodfight is a movie from 2012 from director Lawrence Kasanoff. It features Charlie Sheen, Wayne Brady, Hillary Duff, Eva Longoria, Jerry Stiller, and so many more stars that it should have gotten some attention from that alone. Alas, this bomb, Kasanoff's version of Casablanca, never even had a chance.

The Sydney Opera House is an icon of 20th century architecture, but getting it built was a process fraught with mismanagement and infighting. This week on Bad Ideas we delve into the history of how this incredible monument got built, both the amazing challenges that were overcome and the poor planning that made the project even more difficult.

In which we talk about Marvin Heemeyer builds a 53 ton war machine to take out the town of Granby, CO. What starting out as a zoning dispute turns into a rampage.
