Episode 20

Stock up on pineapples while you can. After this episode goes viral, there's going to be a run on the damn things and you'll be left out in the cold...

Show Notes:

1 - We continue discussing Helix with episode 6. Great show if you aren't watching. If you like 'zombie' shows, this will be right of your alley.

2 - JD tries to convince Josh that Knights of Badassdom is worth a look. Not sure he succeeded.

3 - Still looking for the answer to what the original 'Scarface' movie was titled. Don't cheat and look it up, but the first person to tweet us the correct answer gets a nifty little trinket...

We want to hear from you. Let us know what you're thinking.

Thanks for listening and tell your friends!

Episode 19

Anti-heroes week concludes! Movie day is always the best day...So many great anti-heroes in film that we couldn't possible cover them all. We want to hear from you. Agree or disagree on the examples we talk about or to let us know, 'Hey, dumbass, you forgot the best one!'

Show Notes;

1- Josh is up to his old tricks again...Gordon Gecko is the character played by Michael Douglas in 'Wall Street'. And oddly enough, Gordon Gecko is also an anti-hero. 'Greed is good.' Yikes...

Seth Gecko's brother in 'From Dusk Till Dawn' is Richie. How could I forget that scene where Juliette Lewis asks the Richie character to perform the holiest of tasks...

2 - Do yourself a favor and check out the Shaykcast podcast crew. Love these guys. Good call on Machete! Hear them here:

4 - Did you catch the reference to sending you some swag? You have to get the answer right. It's not as easy as you think....
