Pumping Irony

Today we’re talking about why Escondido (the band not the city) is great, Daredevil Season 2, a Star Wars fan film called DARTH MAUL: Apprentice, why the new Ben Hur trailer makes Russ grumpy, why DC’s Legends of Tomorrow treats its fans like they are dumb, and why Tim is disappointed that he is stuck in Maryland this week.

Today’s music breaks are all from Escondido because we love them (please don’t sue us).  You should really check out their website at www.thebandescondido.com or their YouTube page.

Intro – Bad Without You

Evil Girls (which would make a great True Detective Season 3 theme song… I’m just sayin)

Break – Heart Is Black

Outro – Try

 

Today we’re discussing 10 Cloverfield Lane, The Explorers Guild: Volume One: A Passage to Shambhala, Star Wars: Imperial Assault, the crushing disappointment that occurs when Russ is right about something, Watchmen, and the loss of George Martin.

Intro music for this episode is I Think We’re Alone Now by Tommy James and the Shondells (from the masterful 10 Cloverfield Lane trailer) and outro music is A Day In The Life by The Beatles.

After a couple of special themed episodes we are back to our normal episode format.  In this episode we talk about things we like, including The Magicians, The Goldbergs, and Room 237.  We also rant about the rising cost of concerts in small clubs, terrible people who don’t like The Witch, and the atrocity that was the finale of the X-Files revival.

Intro music for this episode is Rewind by I Fight Dragons (which moonlights as The Goldbergs theme song) and the outro music is the X-Files theme.

We’re talking about some of our favorite (and least favorite things) from 2015!  Hear about Russ’s favorite movies, Tim’s favorite music, and Andrew’s favorite new TV from the last year.  Let us know in the comments at PumpingIronyPodcast.com or on our Facebook page what some of your favorite things from the past year are or why you hate the things that we love.

Youtube Videos mentioned in this podcast:

* Of Monsters and Men – Wolves Without Teeth

Our intro music for this episode is I’m So Sorry by Imagine Dragons and our outro music is Cold As It Is by The Lone Bellow (because we’re in a blizzard!) both of which are on albums from Tim’s favorites of 2015.
