Binge Media

Welcome to the latest edition of the Binge SportsCast. It’s WWE pay-per-view weekend so you know what that means. Batch and I are back to talk WWE Fastlane and everything else happening in the wrestling world. From Daniel Bryan to Titus O’ Neil to the card itself and everything in between, we hit the road to WrestleMania hard and we hit it fast (see what I did there). Enjoy.

Well. If you’ve come this far into our Terminator Retrospective, you have proven to be braver than human race leader John Connor ever was on the Judgment Day aftermath battlefield. Or, did Judgment Day even happen? Or does Judgment Day happen in the future?

Confused yet? That does not even begin to describe how we feel going into this viewing of 2015’s Terminator Genisys. Join me and my colleague Matthew Goudreau as we go over each of the film’s plot points, detail by detail, and try to pull apart some sort of logic behind it all. And, as a little preview -and is evident by the ratings below- I will say one of us is deep enriched in how bad this movie is, and one of us is not necessarily a staunch defender. But, the closest Genisys will get to having one on this site.

Will Ah-nold’s appeal to Matt be enough to make him said defender? Listen below and find out.

Big thanks to Matthew Goudreau for spending three podcasts deciphering the entire Terminator franchise with me. Be sure to check his work out at www.theyoungfolks.com.

 

Terminator Genisys: 6/10, 2/10

We’re back, bitches! At long last, Better Call Saul has returned for its second season, which also means that the Better Call Saul commentary has returned as well. For the next ten weeks, Jack and I (yeah, apparently Supka had something better to do with his time) will be walking you through the life of Jimmy McGill as he continues on his journey towards becoming Saul Goodman.

This week, we’ll dive into the new season with Episode 1, “Switch”. So sit back, turn on the show and follow along as we celebrate the beauty that is the Breaking Bad universe. Enjoy.

Every once in a while we blindly bust through the threshold of acceptable stupidity while recording these shows. Welcome to this week, where Ammon gets so wasted he doesn’t even know who he’s talking to by the end of the show. Jack Valley joins us to witness this amazing display, review HAIL CAESAR, and help us deliver our Top 10 Films Since the Year 2000. This is helpful and also adds another hour and a half to the show.

Before that though Law reviews (loses his freaking mind over) DEADPOOL, Moreno plays 459 Google Voicemails, and the boys fire through Movie Homework while Ammon is still somewhat sober.

Thanks for listening, as always, and prepare for a sloppy mess.

Well Bingers. As we outlined last week, James Cameron did everything in his power to ensure there were no more sequels. There’s a novel idea. Make a film that has no business getting a sequel. After two sets of futuristic chase film goodness, wrapping everything in the series up in a tight bow with 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day seemed to be the most logical thing to do.

But, as we have seen time and time again, when talking about money, logic goes out the window. And so, the 2000s  have so far brought us  three  additions to the Terminator film universe. Two of which, 2003’s Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and 2009’s Terminator: Salvation. are getting discussed today.

As Matthew Goudreau and I filter through the roledex cards associated with the plots of these films, we ask ourselves the exact same question over and over again: were these films really necessary?

Throughout this 90 minute plus set of podcast goodness (not really), Matt and I talk about everything from how a foreign model by the name of Kristanna Loken came to be Ah-nold’s foe in Terminator 3 to how much McG’s unwavered directing style really contributed to the Terminator aesthetic, if at all. Oh, and Matt continues to show undying affection to the man who would become California’s governor by the time Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines hit the home video circuit in 2003.

Hit that download button, grab a frosty beverage (hopefully not blueberry flavored like Matt’s), and enjoy. Or, at least attempt to.

This week we tackle the disappointing(?!?!) Lego Marvel’s Avengers, the very enjoyable Unravel, and Kupka got to play the Beta for Tom Clancy’s The Division. Then they bitch and rave about Controller support. Go listen to find out why. And as always they talk about a bunch of random other shit including how you can download your very own playable Binge Media Staff for WWE 2K16 for XBONE. Enough reading, go listen.

You can also check out some game play of Unravel here.

Where the hell is Eva Mendes? This is the most important question of the year. Also, what is the best film since the year 2000? The boys try to answer all this nonsense while getting shitfaced and trying not to be obsessed with the iguana scene in BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL: NEW ORLEANS. We also review a bunch of  television – Horace and Pete, Hunted, The X-Files, Billions, The Man in the High Castle – and watch a bunch of films, new and old – THE GODFATHER, KUNG FU PANDA 3, SPOTLIGHT, TED 2, GOOSEBUMPS.

Get it while it’s hot. Whatever that means. Yeah, totes.

Here we are again people. One year removed from its very polarizing 5th installment, I decided to go ahead and take a look at the multi career launching Terminator film series, once again going through the films and rating them one by one. But of course I couldn’t do it by myself. And with Jason either too drunk to join or deciding to sit this one out, I had to go out and grab someone to talk Arnold speak with me. Which, as you can imagine, is not an easy task.

Enter my old Adventure Amigos riding partner Matthew Goudreau. You’ll recall that last year, he joined me on the Aftertaste for an interview of film director Katt Shea. Now, I hope he realizes what he has gotten into as he begins the journey of watching the Terminator movies and rating them with me. He agreed, as long as I didn’t do the ol’ ‘hole in the popcorn’ trick, which Jason fell for time and time again. This week, we start with what is known in Terminator circles as ‘the James Cameron era.’ To some, these are two of the best films ever made. But will they be to us?

Join us as we talk about everything from Cameron’s role in starting the cinematic strong female action hero movement to just how much these two films made Arnold’s career. I also get a little too complimentary toward Edward Furlong.

Click the download button below, and be sure to come back next week. We’ll be back. Gross.

Welcome to the Super Bowl edition of the Binge SportsCast. Join me, Luke Norris, as I open the show with the greatest rap song ever created by a team that won a Super Bowl thirty years ago. Speaking of which, I may or may not get a little upset in the opening segment as I reminisce on games of yesteryear. Not to worry….a little Whitney Houston would calm you down as well. Wait, what? Oh, you know you’re going to listen now.

I compose myself to welcome my Binge Media nemesis, Episode IV, to the show for the first time in a long time and we put aside our differences to talk Peyton Manning, Cam Newton, our mutual hatred for Eli and everything else leading up to Super Bowl 50. Enjoy.

0:00:00- Start dat shit

0:01:50-Moreno.Valley. Collins. Ammon show this is not, motherfucker. Of course there is Patriots talk to get under Jackie boy’s skin. Of course.

0:09:00-GOOGLE VOICE. Wait on bated breath to see if Nate P. calls

0:30:33-Moreno lets Garrett talk about the Binge Aftertaste. Then everybody talks about the Super Bowl and the Oscars. This helps to make the show nearly four hours, kids.

0:47:52-TV ROUND UP. Episode IV starts off with 30 for 30. Garrett puts in his one contribution with the X-Files. Moreno chimes in to talk ’bout Hunted and Man in the High Castle (not a show about Ammon or Kupka, surprisingly).

1:30:30-MOVIE HOMEWORK: The Insider. No, it is not a porno. Fucking pervert.

2:24:18-WHAT DID YOU WATCH? Man on man fucking begins with The Big Short. Then he rapid fires through The War Room, The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia, The Seven Five, and Prophet’s Prey. Moreno takes his turn with American Ultra and Cartel Land. Collins follows with Raging Bull, Chinatown, The Conversation, Flight of the Navigator, Soaked in Bleach, and The Final Girls. Lot of random bullshit talk as the show concludes. That’s it, you cocksucker.
