But It Was Aliens

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the allegedly truthful space battle in the skies above Nuremberg, Germany in 1561. But before that, we learn the REAL words to Prince’s classic, Purple Rain, along with the dangerous and horrid Purple Rain drinking game. Don’t do it, folks. Anyway…  We begin the actual case today with a bang. Well, more of a pop (and we’re not talking about Moonwalkers balls). Because we have some visual evidence. Evidence of a possible war above Earth which definitely couldn’t have been between Earthlings. So was this an alien battle? Or was it actually a warning from God? A demonstration of God’s wrath should their people not be honourable and trustworthy. Or were more natural forces at play? Meanwhile, tune in and you can learn all about the allegedly truthful 1500’s German farm, Farm Farm. Finally, a question… Are Greybeard and Moonwalker honourable and trustworthy enough to wield Excalibur or the Master Sword? All that and more on this week’s file.

Music created via Garageband. Additional music via: https://freepd.com - thank you most kindly good people. Of course, when mentioning Lon Lon Ranch we had to sneak in the Lon Lon Ranch theme from from 1998’s The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, composed by Kōji Kondō. Later on, we also attached some Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past music also by Kōji Kondō - the Lost Woods, Master Sword and Hyrule Overworld themes. This accompanied our discussion of pulling the Master Sword, or Excalibur, from its resting place. What a moment. Before that however, because it just felt right, we opened today’s case with a clip of the Prelude theme from the wondrous Fantasy 7 original soundtrack, composed by Nobuo Uematsu and produced by Uematsu alongside Minoru Akao. During Moonwalker’s button-popping strip, we utilised a very quick snippet from The Stripper instrumental by David Rose, recorded originally in 1958 and courtesy of label MGM. We obviously don’t own the rights to this and used a quick clip as part of a self-satirical section, please don’t send your agents for us.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the Men in Black. Wow, one hundred episodes! Thank you for joining us on this ride. For episode 100, we thought rather than patting each other on the back, we’d bring to you a feature length presentation on our previous employers, the MiB. The Mibs. We roll through several cases associated with these nefarious individuals from Harold Dahl’s famous account in 1947 all the way to a Niagara Falls hotel sighting in 2008. Along the way, Moonwalker realises that he’s the sceptical one and has a change of heart. Can Moonie keep it up? We discover the real, serious business that the Men in Black cover. We ponder whether MiB’s wear human suits or simply take over human consciousness? On the note of suits, is there a MiB uniform and as a new MiB is it the last suit you’ll ever wear? We ask ourselves why dogs may not like MiB’s and come up with an allegedly truthful answer. How does this all tie to Dan Aykroyd? All that and more on this week’s lengthy, large, monster of a file.

Meanwhile, at the mention of Master Chief, we couldn’t help but pop in a clip of the famous Halo Theme. This was composed by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori and was of course the theme from Bungie’s Halo: Combat Evolved (as well as subsequent releases, with 343 Industries now at the helm courtesy of Microsoft and Xbox Game Studios). Not for Moonwalker so much but Greybeard has wonderful memories of playing through Halo 3 with a friend from university (who grenade-jumped in to the scarab) meanwhile, Greybeard still hasn’t recovered from the emotional impact of playing through Halo: Reach and in particular, the last stand. For the second time in the podcast, you will also have heard the first section of the Lemmiwinks song (The Ballad of Lemmiwinks) from South Park season 6 episode 14. Thank you to Trey Parker and Matt Stone along with everyone at South Park Studios once again for clearly inspiring our humour for decades to come. On the note of inspiration, purely because Greybeard absolutely loves the franchise, we included the Fortune Telling House Theme from the The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past which was released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991 (Japan) and 1992 (North America and the United Kingdom/Europe). The music was composed by series legend Kōji Kondō. A bit of But It Was Aliens trivia for you - Greybeard has played through A Link to the Past to completion more than any other game he has ever owned. It holds up. Following on from that, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time’s Shop Theme was also utilised, again composed by Kōji Kondō. We love Nintendo.

100. Damn.
