No time to mess around this week, as this is one jam packed show. What does ‘jam packed’ mean, anyway?

Of course, even with a sense of urgency, Jason and I don’t move things any faster. We start things off by talking about our most anticipated movies of the year, with Jason saying Benedict Cumberbatch’s name in a way that needs to be heard to be believed.

After this bit of nonsense, Jason and I get filmmaker Brandon Slagle on the show to speak about all aspects of the business. He mentions how he got his new directorial effort House of Manson distribution, and why he is more proud of this effort than his other films. Slagle also mentions his ‘BFF’ Ben Affleck, and how he feels Ben is going to do in Batman Vs Superman. More things about the action genre are spoken about, and we finally let the very busy Slagle go back to his duties.

Unfortunately, House of Manson is only being distributed in the UK for the time being. But keep an eye out for physical distribution in the US soon. Any UK listeners (ahem, Nate) here is the Amazon UK link to purchase a copy. Despite a pretty off and on Skype reception, this was a very interesting conversation and we look forward to speaking with Brandon again in the future.

But that isn’t all. Much like the action theme of this particular show, the action never stops as I finally get old favorite Adam Simon back on the show to let loose on his current Hollywood thoughts. Oh sure, we speak about how his films Synapse and Man Down are coming along in the distribution department. But we cover even more topics. From his buddy Clifton Collins Jr’s book Prison Ramen to his thoughts on Star Wars: The Force Awakens to even some Oscar talk, there is no topic off limits. Expect more participation of Simon, as well as more about Prison Ramen, in the Aftertaste’s future.

Jason and I close the show off by talking about our own feelings on how the action genre is holding up in today’s climate. Are we in line for even more spandex ladened franchises? Will there be another The Matrix to knock our socks off? Was The Matrix even original?

One more note: You may have noticed a voice at the beginning of these podcasts who introduces each show for me. That gentleman, my Anonymous Announcer Guy as I like to call him, has just started his own podcast about comics, films, and the ilk. Check him out if you have a chance:

Bunch: Bagged & Boarded! – 12pm (PST) on .darkBarn Radio

The boys are back with another fantastic show. Audio only this week as it was the easiest thing to do. Not that we have to explain ourselves to you or anyone. ANYWAYS, Kupka is still a slave to Diablo III but finds time for some Yahtzee Buddies, Freak may or may not love him some Rise of The Tomb Raider and finally gets some real time with Fallout 4 all while Batch loves him some Crashlands. Other topics are discussed like Steam game sharing, the future of gaming, and how much Freak loves him some LED Dice. Enough reading about what we talked about, go listen to it.

0:00:00- Not using a sounder to open the show. Instead, let’s talk about Supka. It’s more important.

0:03:41- Intro, yo.

0:05:07-Ammon is sort of on time. He hands in his man card cause he watches The Bachelor. Moreno and Law reminisce about Duncan Jones. Movie homework gets highlighted a lil’ bit.

0:16:55-TV ROUND UP. The first chunk of this segment is devoted to Sounder Wars because the boys don’t know how to stay on topic, goddamnit. Anyway, Moreno puts things back on track with The Jinx. The Leftover Buddes recap the first season and give their thoughts…on The Leftovers. Law bitches about Luther because the new season is short as hell. Ammon wonders if the comeback of the X-Files will have any traction with his co-hosts. The dildo factory worker, the Bigfoot hunter, and the taco lover all talk about shows they’d love to see come back just like X-Files is doing. Law takes a fucking piss while Ammon and Moreno talk Serial. And then everybody discusses cereal. Jesus Christ.

1:04:12-GOGGLE VOICE. Lot of shit to sort through here.

1:54:03-Old shit sounder wars. Kick back and sip the nostalgia. Drink it up. All of it. I’m gonna be up all night.

2:01:26-MOVIE HOMEWORK: Dances with Wolves. Dance if you want to. Leave your goddamn friends behind.

2:25:16-Nostalgic corner yet again.

2:36:00-WHAT DID YOU WATCH? Moreno briefly mentions a doc about The Band’s Levon Helm, titled Ain’t In It For My Health. Law has only got one review (The Veil) and it’s not good. Cycle back to Moreno, who praises Muscle Shoals. He moves onto Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation. Ammon clocks in with Ant-Man, Dope, and The Gift. After that it’s all random bullshit until…

3:06:16-Even more nostalgic bits to send you on your way. Peace the fuck out.

I do apologize for not getting this up earlier today, but there have been some crazy technical difficulties going on at the Binge Sports Studios today, but what are you gonna do, amirite? Nevertheless, the first 2016 wrestling edition of the Binge SportsCast has arrived. Batch and I are back to discuss everything surrounding Sunday’s WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view and that includes our predictions, how the new signings may affect the match and so much more. But enough talk………just listen. Enjoy.

Every once in awhile a guest comes on the Binge Aftertaste and makes us look dumb. Granted, it is not that hard to do so to us. But we knew almost immediately that once we got author Jennifer Brody on the line, we were in for some intelligence questioning. It’s good for assholes such as us.

Before that though, Jason and I pay some tributes to those in the entertainment business who had fallen the week we recorded. Both David Bowie and Alan Rickman get their due diligence. But Jason had some personal interaction with The Tall Man himself, Angus Scrimm, and he shares that experience with us. It’s interesting hearing the career Scrimm had that went far beyond his role in the Phantasm films. Rest in Peace to all.

We then get Brody on the line and it is off and running. She shares things such as how her family reacted to her going from graduating from Harvard to working for an at the time in its infancy Platinum Dunes run by the one of a kind personality known as Michael Bay. Interactions with both Bay and Marilyn Manson are shared, and Brody gradually transitions to how she ended up  working on the Lord of the Rings trilogy for her hero Mark Ordesky. Some new information about the films is given, and it is safe to say that the success of that trilogy was a meeting of some amazingly brilliant minds.

We then get into Brody’s book The 13th Continuum, the first of a trilogy of hopeful post dystopian stories about otherworldly attempts to revive a fallen humanity. We also talk about how she optioned the book to be made into a film, and her attempts to get her movie to be directed by a woman, as well as why she would never adapt her own book into script form. She also drops information on how hard she worked on trying to get Guillermo Del Toro to realize his passion project The Mountains of Madness, and how close it came to getting made.

The show moves on to Jason and I giving our Oscar predictions. What began as a look at the four major categories somehow got derailed into talking about at least two others. By this time we were too drunk to keep track.

Thanks a ton to Jennifer Brody for coming on the air with us. Her book The 13th Continuum gets released in book stores on April 19th, and it is available for pre-order on Amazon now.

It’s time to lay down our Best of lists. Moreno, Ammon, and Law all give their favorite films of the year. There’s also talk of the year’s best in Television and a shitload of voicemails. I’m tired…… here’s a time stamp.

0:00:00-It’s on like Donkey Kong

0:02:22-Ammon is on schedule? This won’t last. Top ten of the fucking year is happening this episode, so put your big boy pants on and get rwady. TV Round up is non existent this week. Don’t cry, you whiny bastard.

0:06:10-OSCAR NOMINATIONS AND STUFF. Only the big three are discussed, which includes best fucking actress (not the best actress who fucks, just for clarification), best fucking actor, and best fucking picture. Actual categories may or may not include the word “fucking.” They should though.

0:27:16-GOOGLE VOICE. There’s a ton of voicemails, so don’t even try to leave.

1:12:10-NEW SOUNDER. If you’re a fan of farts, then you’ll dig this. Weirdo.

1:25:42 WHAT DID YOU WATCH? Law checked out Sisters since he has a raging hard on for Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Can you blame him? The dildo factory worker stays thematic with family member labels as he discusses Daddy’s Home. He moves onto Truth, starring Robert Redford, and fifes all over Moonwalkers. Wrapping up his portion, JLaw (yup) gives his thoughts on The Program. Ammon follows with The Big Short and Joy. Moreno eats tacos.

1:59:08-MOVIE HOMEWORK: Carol. Nope.

2:12:12-TOP TEN MOVIES OF 2015. Enjoy you cocksuckers. And if you disagree, well that’s great. Go fuck yourself.

Or as I like to call it, the podcast that almost wasn’t. After getting Jason to finally leave the alcohol table and Nate Peterson to get up at 3 AM to record the second (and final?) part of this retrospective, I forgot a sort of important part of recording a podcast. 40 minutes into blabbing about Back to the Future, I realized I forgot to hit the record button.

Not only do we get into this story, Jason, Nate and I do have other business to attend to, which consists of dissecting the two sequels to a movie that was not originally destined to have one. Lots of questions are asked and (not really) answered in this complete breakdown of Back to the Futures Part 2 and Part 3.

Some of which are:

Why is Crispin Glover not here, and how much is he missed?

How much of the future did they get right?

Why does Doc Brown peel off his face?

How the hell did Ohh LaLa not catch on?

How big of an asshole is Biff?

How stupid of a McGuffin is that stupid Sports Almanac?

Why can’t Lea Thompson catch a break when it comes to her make-up jobs?

Speaking of Thompson, what the hell is she doing in 3?

What are the chances of a Back to the Future remake?

How many times can we get Jason to screw up Mary Steenburgen’s name?

Why do I now have the tendency to go play the TellTale game?

Plus, listen as Jason gets more and more slurred and drunk as the podcast goes on. After two plus hours (actually almost three if you count the lost 40 minutes) you can imagine how much his mic was holding him up. A little over two weeks into the year, I don’t think the craziness that comes with this podcast will be topped.

Back to the Future Part 2: 6/10, 8/10, 8/10

Back to the Future Part 3: 7/10, 8.5/10, 7/10

Welcome back to Binge Sports and welcome to the long-awaited 2016 debut of the Binge SportsCast.

In this first episode of the year, I start things off going solo with a look back at 2015, but move forward quickly as I give you 15 stories to look out for in 2016.

The energy certainly picks up in the second hour of the show when I’m joined by Garrett Collins to discuss some of these stories, but also to discuss a new segment idea as well. I may or may not piss off an entire state as we talk and may or may not have some choice words for a few of my colleagues as well. And we can’t stop talking about Creed after Sly’s big win at the Golden Globes this past Sunday.

It’s a special two-hour edition of the Binge SportsCast as we break into the new year. Enjoy.

After Supka watched Tarantino’s latest 4 times in one day (I still don’t understand how that works), he demanded that we jump on air and talk about it.  He had some feelings that strayed from the Binge staff and had to talk about it.  Between Christmas and New Year’s, we finally found time to sit down, crack a few beers and record.

This is a SPOILER filled discussion, so no crying if you haven’t watched The Hateful 88s and listen to this.

When you’re done listening, rank your QT films in the comments section!  Here’s mine:

Jackie Brown

Pulp Fiction

Reservoir Dogs

Kill Bill 2

The Hateful 88s

Inglourious Basterds

Kill Bill 1

Death Proof

Django Unchained
