Binge Media

Up above

Aliens hover

Making home movies

For the folks back home

Of all these weird creatures

Who lock up their spirits

Drill holes in themselves

And live for their secrets

Welcome back to another edition of Monday Morning Moreno!  I couldn’t be happier to be joined by special guest co-host TM, creator of the infamous “I love you Jon Snow!!!” meme that permeates these digital halls of Binge Media.  TM is a huge of Game of Thrones fan and wanted to pop in and discuss the ups and downs, ins and outs of the show and to a greater extent, the novels themselves.

I get a little worried sometimes that Game of Thrones talk-especially with the commentaries now-may be redundant and repetitive on the various podcasts we produce but goddamn do I love talking about it.  And especially with A) people who love the show and 2) people who have read the books.  I can seriously talk about the books for hours.  And have.

The other reason why I got TM on the podcast is to discuss an album that I’ve been listening to lately and that we both hold in high regard, Radiohead’s OK Computer.  It’s seriously one of my ten favorite albums of all time.  During Lawlapalooza 2014 when TM and PeteMC were in town, an impromptu OK Computer jam broke out that ranks in one of my favorite, spontaneous moments ever.  So knowing he also loved this album led to a great conversation.

Listen to the goddamn thing already.

Sorry for yelling.

Welcome to the start of another busy week here at Binge Media. We start things out this week with another episode of the newest addition to the podcast family, the Binge Sportscast.

Thanks to all those who downloaded and listened to the premiere episode this past Wednesday. We do now have a plan to run this show bi-weekly, basically alternating with the Gamecast. But there’s also a plan to run this type of show, the wrestling version, every Sunday that WWE has a pay-per-view. So at least now you know when to catch up with us for the Sportscast.

As far as this episode is concerned, Batch and I get into all things wrestling. Batch talks the indy circuit and really gets into the Ring of Honor show heading to Toronto in a few weeks. We talk a little Global Force and TNA as well.

From there, we talk a little bit about the awesome documentary on The Iron Sheik, and then we get into a full breakdown of what we thought of Wrestlemania. To close, we fill you in on the matches for Extreme Rules and our thoughts on those as well.

The show ran a little longer than we expected, but hey, it was worth it. It’s wrestling, so of course it’s going to be drawn out and over the top. Deal with it.

I talked about this at the start of the podcast, but stay tuned later this week for the written word of Binge Sports, where I’ll get into the Kentucky Derby and really get into my thoughts on Mayweather vs Pacquiao. Catch up with us @BingeSports. Catch up with me @THElukenorris. And catch up with Batch @multiversefive. Enjoy.

One of the busiest weeks in Binge Media history continues with the premiere of the all-new Binge Sportscast. Join our resident sports guy, Luke Norris, as he unveils the plan (sort of) for this show, what it’s going to be, where it’s going to go. Here’s a hint: he really has no fucking clue, but he’s having fun with it anyway.

He brings in Kupka for this first episode and they talk a little NCAA Tournament and Luke scares off potential listeners on the East Coast with his disdain for all things Duke.

They jump into a little golf talk as they discuss the record-breaking performance by Jordan Spieth at The Masters. Naturally (and seemingly by law), there’s a little Tiger talk, Kupka talks fashion and Rickie Fowler, and hear why Luke wants to slap Phil Mickelson.

From there, the bulk of the show hits as they dive into the Stanley Cup Playoffs, series by series. Just remember that this was recorded on Monday night, so if you’re pissed that they’re a game behind, then just get over it. The fan voting results for Round 1 are revealed and so much more. Enjoy.

Stay tuned to Binge Media as the monthly wrestling episode of the Binge Sportscast with Luke and Batch comes your way this weekend. They’ll be reviewing Wrestlemania and getting ready for the Extreme Rules PPV on Sunday night. Until then, come back for the daily columns and everything else we might add to the week. And don’t forget to follow @BingeSports, @THElukenorris, and @jekupka on Twitter. Seriously, just do it.

Welcome to a special edition Binge Cast in which the great Garrett Collins enlightens us all on what to expect from AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON. This is a spoiler free review as Law, Kupka, and Moreno grill Garrett as much as possible without giving anything away. Best character? Worst character? Surprises? Cameos? Better or worse than the first? All this shit and more is answered on the show. What are you waiting for, download that shizz.

Ladies and gentleman, look at the most chokable face in all of Westeros.  Imagine having to have sex with that every day, worried about whether or not you’re pleasing the lioness as she stares daggers into your soul.  No wonder King Robert Baratheon, First of His Name, had 47 bastards.

Let’s face it folks, Winter is NOT Coming and this deeply depresses Jim Law.  It’s okay buddy, The North Remembers.  We find this episode to have no less than 3 incredibly cheesy moments although it’s great to see Ser Bronn of the Blackwater back, dressing all snazzy.  Don’t forget to hear our book spoiler discussion in the After the Credits sequence.

After a slight deter, the Binge Movie Aftertaste is back. And boy, do we have a jam packed show full of interviews, trailer talk, premiere talk, contest talk, and general buffoonery. Firstly, Moreno and I intro this week’s special Aftertaste guest, 22 year old Swiss director Robert Kouba. After mentioning his early years, which consisted of filming his dog out of boredom, Kouba talks about making a short film and experiencing the film festival circuit at the age of 12. Kouba affirms plans to move to LA from his home country of Switzerland, and then reveals he wants to see much more of the United States when he is here.

We then get into Kouba’s new film Aurora. An epic looking science fiction/love story, Kouba has obviously put all his influences and heart into the film. He talks about what his experience of doing the Aurora Kickstarter campaign was like, and how he keeps his composure while working with experienced actors. All this plus another spin on the King of Hollywood game, who Robert’s dream actor and actress to work with is, and much more are revealed in this interesting interview with a true visionary. Watch the trailer to his brand new film Aurora (which opens July 7th), and wait for this kid’s talent cause him to explode onto the Hollywood scene.

After the interview, Moreno and I spend some time talking Kouba up even more, especially how grounded he seemed despite the accomplishments he has already gathered in his young career. Speaking of young careers (not really) we then welcome the lovely Jason Morris back to the Binge Movie Aftertaste. Morris explains his months long absence away by talking about what it was like directing his brand new film called Collapse. Written by Edward Martin III (Through The Night), Morris talks about how the script called for people to be hauled up in a cabin while being surrounded by fog induced spirits. No, DON’T call it The Mist II!

We then move on to the two blockbuster trailers released this week. Between the three of us, I seem to be the most enthused over Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and all letters about Morris’s comments concerning the final shot of the trailer should be directed to him as they do NOT reflect the opinions of most Binge Media staffers. With that out of the way, we spend a small amount of time talking about the Batman Vs Superman trailer. Ok, I talk about it, as my two co-hosts did not bother watching it. A hint as to how I feel about it, I kind of wish I had joined them.

Finally, we get to the business of talking about the upcoming premiere of Teddy Gyi’s film Refuge. In addition to talking about the event itself -which will be held on April 24th in San Francisco- I reveal how people in the Northern California/San Francisco area can win tickets to the premiere, as well as posters attached to the tickets. Contest details are spoken about in the actual podcast, so if you would like to join us in watching the movie and win two tickets & four posters, listen and find out how. Hint: It is VERY easy.

We close the show out by talking some more about the 30 For 30 documentary I Hate Christian Laettner, and Morris for some reason brings up the trailer to the brand new Star Wars: Battlefront video game. A game he will, in his words, never play.

Don’t forget: Robert Kouba’s film Aurora hits screens on July 7th. Plans are already underway to have both him and an actress from the film on the podcast as the release date inches closer.

For fun, check out the Transformers fan film trailer Kouba made for $200 a few years ago. Better than Bay?

Another jam-packed Binge Cast takes us all over the map with an extended cast of characters this week. Kupka and Garrett join Law and Moreno to sift through TV Round-Up and all the happenings on Game of Thrones, Justified, Daredevil, Agents of Sheild, and Agent Carter.

Trailer Round-Up has never been bigger with the new STAR WARS spot taking center stage. Then Garrett and Law make Moreno and Kupka watch the BATMAN vs. SUPERMAN trailer live to get their reaction.

There’s a break to admire the money being made by FURIOUS 7 which leads to Kupka reading us the ridiculous list of top money making films of all time. This is frustrating.

Google Voice has some shit talk and a couple listener reviews.

What Did You Watch This Week is overflowing with reviews of IT FOLLOWS, LAUGH KILLER LAUGH, PAUL BLART: MALL COP 2, EX MACHINA, THE SHEIK, and 20 minutes of THE MAN WITH THE IRON FIST 2. Fucking Kupka.

Stay tuned for a big week on BingeMedia.net as we deliver a special edition BingeCast that features Garrett’s review of AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON, a new Binge Aftertaste featuring director, Robert Kouba, talking about his impressive new film, AURORA, and the brand spanking new Binge Sports Cast.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Game of Thrones weekly commentaries on Binge Media!  It’s like old times again as Law and myself crack the mics, polish off some booze and launch into the season 5 premiere of GoT.

As a reminder, after the actual commentary of the episode (in a segment we call “After the Credits Sequence), we discuss the variations the show takes from the books, what’s missing and what’s new, and why Tyrion is such a drunk asshole.

It’s good to be back!

Grab your favorite frosty beverage, the Binge Movie Aftertaste podcast is back! The return of Binge Movie Aftertaste is marked by me being joined for the first time by the one and only Jim Kupka for an epic night of drinking and talking about film. Before calling our guest, Kupka and I spend some time talking about how our week has been, with me mentioning what it was like watching each Fast & Furious movie for the very first time this week. Not a moment too soon, we get Jack Marchetti, the writer/director of the Tribeca Film Festival selection The Evolution of a Gen-X Music Purchaser on the line, and then we are off and running.

Making a film which is about and revolves around music from artists ranging from Weezer to Slayer means you have to get rights. So we spend a little time talking about the trouble that comes with gathering said music rights, and Marchetti tells us how some of these rights were easier to get than others.  We then talk a little about how contracting a degenerative eye disease caused Marchetti to push himself to move from just a writer into also directing his projects.

We steer into a conversation about what went into Marchetti submitting his short film to the Tribeca Film Festival, and how many festivals have been calling him since the film was accepted. All of this plus what Marchetti’s future in film holds, me flubbing the title of the film at least twice, and a game of King Of Hollywood can all be heard in this week’s epic movie making podcast.

The Evolution of a Gen-X Music Purchaser screens for the first time at Tribeca on April 16th. Check out the film’s official Facebook page, and keep an eye out for updates on its still rising wave of success.

Special thanks to both Kupka and Marchetti for a fun and interesting podcast.
