How It Stacks

The Hook brings you back...to How it Stacks.  This time it’s all about pirates and giant mosquitoes because JD, Professor Willis, and Bulldog are bringing out the epic 90's epics Hook and Jumanji.  Can a single show handle that much epic?  Apparently it can.  Will the swashbuckling three emerge on the other side unscathed?  Not a chance.  A tear will be shed for the late great Robin Williams.  JD will confess his love for Tinkerbell.  Willis was into Kirsten Dunst before she was kissing Spider-man upside down in the rain.  Budlong covets Dustin Hoffman’s sweet mustache.  What about that time JD got drunk with Rufio while Willis crowd surfed with a monkey?  End of the line, sonny Jim!

Ru-fi-ooooooooooooooo!

What else is there to say; I mean really?! The terrific three go after their biggest topic of so far. It's freaking Star Wars - A New Hope!!! A true pop culture icon and this episode gets insane, right from the start. The guys start getting fired up quickly in this one, you could even say it gets heated. They debate everything from who the saga is about, to how the force works. This episode is intense as JD and The Professor go head to head on what it's all about while bulldog throws his weight around on it. It is nuts.

DON'T MISS THIS ONE.

The Guys are back to what they do best! Pensacon coverage has officially wrapped and what better way to get back to the show grind than with some gothic greatness: The Addams Family and Addams Family Values.

The terrific three go  goth and stack what is considered a beloved franchise. JD is back with a vengeance after missing Pensacon day 3 and is pretty much living from red bull to red bull, that will be entertaining. The Professor gushes over one of his favorite families while laying the knowledge smack down he is known for. B-B-Bulldog earns more than his nerd card when he confesses his love for Daredevil and how binge watching a new Netflix series is OK. With a special guest on this episode who has an insane crush on Morticia and confesses she was the reason for his goth girls obsession in high school. This a fun/crazy episode you don't want to miss.

Thus begins the Terrific Three's coverage of Pensacon with their thoughts on day 1.

JD starts us off with his antics from day 1 and shares his experience with meeting one his favorite actors. He also has a nice public service announcement on why you should read clearly when covering an event like this.

The Professor earned his planning badge as he has his schedule of day one planned to the "T". All while forgetting to eat and letting us know how he really feels about girls who can eat fire.

Bulldog didn't learn his lesson from last year and visited a local (and totally epic) burger joint which set him back a little. He also brought his family this year and shares those antics. At the end of the day 1, all is forgotten as JD and Bulldog watch the Oxygen Channel film an episode of The Prancing Elites, all this and more at ... PENSACON 2015.

Mash-up Terminator-Tron by wynahiros (via Deviant Art)

In honor of Pensacon, The Terrific Three are stacking what are arguably two of the corner stones for 80's pop culture and one film that sparked an entire franchise!

Tron and Terminator.

Both films have left there mark on history and both have had sequels and shows... But do the films that started those things Stack?

JD gets to Nerd-gasm on this episode as he talks about Terminator (he only does the Arnold voice once) and how Michael Biehn got him into acting. The Professor slaps JD back to reality with why Terminator can't work do to the "Connor Paradox". Bulldog and Willis do their best to keep JD in line for that one. Tron thoughts are shared as The Professor shares what he remembers about watching Tron in the early years. Bulldog lets the guys know that even with is extensive computer knowledge Tron is sill a little out there...

To summarize... The Professor and Bulldog verbally duke it out with JD on this one as they "discuss" what could and couldn't happen.

Don't miss this one!

They're back!!!

The How It Stacks trio kicks off Season 3 with a massive (epicly massive) topic...  Nintendo 64's Goldeneye!!! Its crazy time for the crew as the Terrific Three embark on a journey that began in August 1997. Goldeneye has been one of the games they've been more than excited to do since HIS first started. JD shares why he prefers single player over multiplayer. They discuss why the game was bigger than its predecessor, Doom. Bulldog shares his memories on multi-player; while The Professor gets a good point across about the modern state of gaming. This game has broken friendships, and forever coined the term "Screen Watching"...

Can the Trio survive the research as they face off to see who is superior?? Find out on this brand new and most excellent episode of How It Stacks!!!

A new challenger approaches!!

Yep, Super Smash Bros (N64) has stepped into the ring with the HIS trio and it is a slobber knocker (That's a throw back to our WWE fans)!!! It's a crazy episode where the guys literally trash talk the hell out of each other. Bulldog even gets some jabs in. JD confesses that he could never beat his little brother and crowns himself king of the HIS crew. The Professor steps up his game with pages of info on this one and puts JD in his place once or twice. They talk about "house" rules when playing games and why forbidden characters should always be adhered too. JD uses Captain Falcon, Bulldog uses Link, and  The Professor shows how universal his skills are as he tries multiple characters.

There is a lot of back in forth on this one and the guys end up having to settle there beef in the ring and well...

You'll hear what happens.
