Plain Zero

Another big week is upon us, boppers! And this one's been 10 years in the making. The Infinity War looms over us, and to prepare, we've decided to go back to the beginning. The beginning of the MCU, that is. Before there were stones, before there was a Thanos, before there was an Avengers, there was one movie: Iron Man. So buckle up, boppers, as we're joined once again by the Editor In Chief of Obscure Entertainment, James, as we ask if Iron Man holds up!

This is a big week, boppers! This week, Action Comics, the magazine that introduced the world to the Man of Steel, will be releasing its thousandth issue. This is a big deal, boppers, so we figured what better way to celebrate this historic moment than to discuss the classic, Superman: The Movie! The movie that made us all believe that a man could fly. And to help us celebrate this momentous occasion, we're joined by Mr. Obscure Entertainment and friend of the show, James! So listen along as co-host Aaron (number one Superman fan this side of Bibbo Bibbowski) toasts us and makes you believe that a man can cry!

She packed our bags last night, preflight and all that stuff. Harland Williams drank Jim Carrey's pee, he introduced Ben Stiller to 7 Minute Abs, and now he's going to Mars! Travel back to 1997 for a tale as old as time, Ulysses. In which a man with a dream of one day going to space gets a chance to see it come true. This is one of Aaron's favorite comedies from his childhood, so let's see if it holds up, boppers!

My dearest boppers,

The recording has been hard without you around. We had to watch and discuss a movie about turn of the century in which three brothers all find themselves in love with the same woman whilst being raised by Anthony Hopkins. Brad Pitt fought a bear and times were tough, but perhaps things should have focuses more on the bootlegging storyline. But we have sworn to find out whether or not Legends of the Fall does hold up. 

Sincerely,

Plain Zero

This week, we're going back to the 80s, to a time when Tom Hanks was known for comedies. A time when you could get away with telling your friends you were getting married a week before the actual event, and yet they still had time to plan an amazing party to send you off. So strap in boppers, because we're about to have a party. A Bachelor Party!

We head back to college to enjoy a Toga party, skip some classes and pledge your favorite fraternity: Delta house! This week, we watched National Lampoon's Animal House where we discuss what is largely considered to be an all time comedy classic. Maybe we'll even be able to figure out why Nick hates John Belushi so darn much. So be sure to listen up boppers, or else we'll have to put you on double secret probation!

We're joined this week by The Obscure Gentlemen's very own James, whom you might also know from 12 For A Penny. He's with us this week to help us discuss the first movie that the Pokemon gang ever had an adventure in. What happens when you clone a powerful pocket monster and give him child bearing hips? Find out as we ask if Pokemon: The First Movie holds up!

Things get pretty this week as we're joined for our third week in a row by Yama from 12 For A Penny to discuss Zack Snyder's first comic book movie, 300. In this episode, it's all about buff dewds and how they make us feel. So listen up, boppers, because this week's show will make you wanna howl as you watch the ocean with all your best bros!

We're still spending time with Yama from the 12 For A Penny podcast this week, and this time we're going back to the 80s, where the future meant playing games on rollerskates and living in a wasteland. This week, we watched the cult classic, Solarbabies, which wound up being unlike anything most of us expected, except for Yama. So give it a listen as we determine whether or not this one holds up!

And we're back to our usual format of discussing one particular movie, and we've brought in a special guest to help get us back on track! This week we're joined by our good friend and co-host of the 12 For a Penny podcast, Yama! Aaron and Yama had specific memories of one particular scene from a movie and that's what brought us to discussing White Man's Burden, a story of an alternate timeline in which racial stereotypes are flipped and John Travolta kidnaps Harry Belefonte. So listen up, boppers, because this one's sure to be a doozy!
