  • Needless Things Podcast 59 – Gods of Pop Culture and the 80’s Super-Celebrities
    It’s
    a spontaneous episode of the Needless Things Podcast!
    After
    watching WWE’s excellent Elimination
    Chamber
    pay-per-view Phantom, Mike Gordon, and Jason Frazier engaged in a
    conversation about possibilities and modern media and pop culture
    versus what they grew up with in the 80s.
    It
    all started with a debate on whether or not any wrestling company
    could ever again challenge the WWE in the way that WCW did in the
    late 90s. From there things turned to the modern day cults of
    personality and if today’s celebrities can compare to the almost
    mythical status of 80s icons like Mr. T, Hulk Hogan, and Michael
    Jackson. KISS also factors in, but they don’t fit into the whole
    80s thing as well and warranted their own sentence.
    Join
    Phantom, Mike, and Jason about forty minutes in to a fascinating talk
    about the nature of fame, the pitfalls of modern media, and decide
    for yourself who you agree with!
    Be
    sure to join the new NeedlessThings Podcast Facebook Group
    and get in on the conversation for this week’s episode! Let us know

    Today’s
    episode is brought to you by Welcome

    Zombie creator “Howdy” Mike Gordon returns to the Needless Things

    Mad
    Max: Fury Road,
    and more. 
     
    Also,
    Phantom talks about finally getting to see one of his heroes perform
    live. Marc Maron did a set at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta on May
    16th
    and Phantom and Mrs. Troublemaker were there. Maron was one of your
    host’s early comedy heroes and has been a huge influence on this
    very show.

  • Needless Things Podcast 56 – Avengers: Age of Ultron
    Last
    weekend Marvel Studios released the newest entry into the Marvel
    Cinematic Universe – Joss Whedon’s Avengers:
    Age of Ultron.
    Naturally a few of the Needless Things Irregulars had to convene to
    talk about it.
    This
    episode wasn’t planned, but after an onslaught of text messages it
    was decided that a group conversation had to happen. Age
    of Ultron
    was simply too big and too packed with story and action to cover one
    line of text at a time. Grossing over $640 million as of this
    writing, the movie has once again shown that Marvel has the public’s
    attention and knows how to deliver big thrills on a massive scale.
    Join
    Phantom Troublemaker, Ryan Schweck, Beth V, and The
    Belligerent Monkey
    Jay Hornsby as they discuss one of the biggest superhero movies of
    all time and each rank it among the rest of the MCU films.

  • Needless Things Podcast 54 – The Phantom & Gary Show: The Justice Force Awakens at Dawn!
    In
    the second would-be episode of the Phantom & Gary Show (the first ended up being about Leonard Nimoy),
    the fellas’ impending Star Trek conversation was waylaid by the
    release of trailers for two massive movies – Star
    Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens
    and Batman
    V Superman: Dawn of Justice. 
     
    Once
    they got over the fact that Star Trek talk was again going to be put
    off, Phantom realized he had
    to have a special guest for this episode – the outspoken and
    knowledgeable Chad J. Shonk,
    writer of the indy film Dakota
    Skye
    and novel Proxy joins the guys to add his own opinion about these striking and
    opposite trailers to the mix.
