We’re back!

It’s been a bit since we had a new episode for you – besides the special PAX episodes… and the Christmas Party… ok, look, even when we take a break we’re on break with mics in our hand. That said, we have returned to our regularly scheduled Something with our mostly yearly round-up of some of the stories that took the year by storm – and by storm, I mean confused your Gramma on Facebook.

Which ones are real? Which ones are fake? Which ones are a secret mindcrime built by the establishment to stop the 5g chips in your teeth?

Find out on our Snopes 2023 Roundup!

Ok, here we go?  VERIFIED

Ending the year with our favorite episode – it was a unanimous decision. Both Rob and James get together and invent their own new television show.. where the prizes are weird and the reasons are stupid.

It is hands down our favorite from the year, so we’ll see you next week with something new – but until then, enjoy and Happy New Year!

The Wheel is back, and it’s got a job to do…

Ok, it doesn’t, that would be weird, it’s a Wheel. It has a job, and it does it well. We spin it, and it gives us the week’s topic.  The topic though, well that’s a different job entirely.  You see, if you have watched any television in the last twenty years, you have seen, at some point, a show about bakers or flower arrangers or glass blowers or taxis.  Doing your boring-ass day job probably has its own channel on Pluto, so what happens when the Somethings get to make their own?

It’s a brand new episode of The Wheel – Elevator Pitch

Ok, here we g…..are you ready to face 5 other chat format podcasts on… PodWars!

What’s the best thing about the holiday season? Is it snow? Well I hope you’re having a White Christmas and settle in as we discuss the delicious white gold of a bear going nuts on narcotics.

Merry Blowmas…

Every now and then, a movie comes out that’s “Based On Actual Events”.  “The Courier” comes to mind, as does “Eight Men Out” and “Schindler’s List”.  Well, now that list of movies must share the stage with the tale of a 500 lb bear that goes on a coke bender.  This week, Hatton and Podcast Rob head to Georgia to take on “Cocaine Bear” in this episode of “Something In Review”!

Ok, here we blow!

WHAT’S THIS! A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE!

By Tiny Tim’s Little Crutches, it’s a Christmas Miracle!

It’s also what we do every year, but that doesn’t matter, it’s NEW SOMETHING STUFF…

So who is joining us in for our giant glass of Nog and talking Christmas fun?  Why it is the collection of wonderful personage we’ve become friends with on our podcasting journey from ACPNET.NET. John, Jason, and Matt are all hanging with us and bringing the Christmas Something along with them.

One note – I do apologize for my audio, as with all multi-guest episodes, audio mixing sometimes becomes a bit of an unkillable monster.

That said – Happy Holidays from all of us to all of you.

Ok, here we Ho Ho Hooooo…

Back with another Best of – we brought in Something Bestie, Tim ‘Ungajje’ Stevens, to discuss some of the moments in cinema that make you stand up and clap.

It’s a great one, enjoy…

Original post:

What is a ‘pop’?

In professional wrestling terms, it’s the moment the crowd goes nuts. Maybe they’re cheering – maybe they’re booing, but there is a moment in a movie where the audience is so emotionally invested they can’t help but be there.

We’re talking about those moments.. but not alone! We are joined by long time SomethingFriend, Tim Stevens. You may know Tim from his time writing for any number of fantastic websites about the world of comics and pop culture. These days you can find him on TheSpool.net as well as The Wealth of Geeks. He’s also one bad shut yo mouth.

You ready to laugh? Ready to cheer? Ready to catch the ball to win the big game? Prepared to listen to a podcast you can’t help, but scream at?

Ok, here we OOOOoooh!

Music fills our lives.. sadly, not all of it was created equal. The Somethings are heading into the deep end of the pool of ‘things we dislike’ as our next Best Of is Bottom 5: Songs…

Original Post: 

Mmmm Bop, crappy songs ahh doo wop, a-zig-a-zig-ahhhh

We’ve done tons of favorite things. You guys are sick of the things we like, so how about the Wheel give us a little bit of loathing, huh? Shooting the big guns on our Bottom 5 songs. And let me tell you, we could do another 5.. easy.

Join us on The Wheel: Bottom 5.

Ok, here we eww….

Ach! The Somethings have done their share of voices.. well, so have actors, and in some cases, we would prefer to listen to our own.  Enjoy the Somethings mocking bad movie accents in this weeks best of!

Enjoy!

Original Post: 

SAY E’LLO TO OUR LIT’LE PODCAST!

And unlike the picture perfect Pacino accent that previous sentence was written in, sometimes a movie can pull you right out when someone’s accent doesn’t exactly match their character. Are they an American with a Brit twang? Are they Southern and sound like they came straight from the Civil War? Are they a Spaniard and yet somehow sound precisely like they don’t give a damn about any of the movies in this franchise?

Well, we’re about to take them to task.

Did you read that with a perfect patois? You should, as you join us on Worst Accents in Movies

O’ah kay, here we go, an’ nobody gets our lucky charms!

Surprise number two!  The Somethings went to PAX: UNPLUGGED and put on their best nerd swag and rolled dice for two days.  Well, along the way, we got a chance to do some interviews too!

As promised, here are our interviews with Vaikin Kansepts, Meredith Placko, and Gamey – and we thank them tremendously for the time they gave us in a place where every person is vying for their time.

One note – we are live in a convention hall, so the audio quality does dip at places. We’ve done our best to adjust accordingly, but we will keep that in mind for where ever our next adventure takes us, and we appreciate your understanding.

With that said – Happy Holidays Somethings, please settle in and enjoy PAX:Unplugged – The Interviews!

Not every movie is made equal, and some are made mighty unequal by the replacement of a key character.. we sat with friend Cthulu’s Prodigy and discussed.

Enjoy!

Original Post: 

It has to be hard to make a sequel to a movie. Aside from trying to recapture the magic of the first one, you have to get this legion of performers to come back and find a perfect time where they aren’t working on other things… or, you know, you could just ditch em.

Actors are replaced in movies for a myriad of reasons, some tragic, some hysterical – so settle in as we discuss some of our favorite and least favorite replacements in film.  We’re not going alone though – we are thrilled to have Cthulu’s Prodigy from Blacker Than Black Times Infinity to talk the movie talk with us. Make sure to give them a listen and tell em the Somethings sent ya.

Ok, here we .. ok, well not ‘we’ since we had to replace both hosts .. go!

Oh, the Somethings actually went somewhere.. that’s right, they made their triumphant return to PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia – why?

Because we’re a bunch of board game nerds, we take December off so we didn’t have to record anything. And yet, live in our hotel room, we did record something. Our tale of lines and games, interviews and fun, games and friends live from the convention center a few miles away from the home of Rocky Balboa.

So enjoy one of a couple surprises that are coming in the next few weeks – and please don’t mind the audio quality – as the Somethings hang out together, exhausted from walking miles through the board game haven that was PAX: Unplugged
