The Bricked Pit

You ever keep away from something for a stubborn or petty reason? Then you my friend have placed something under your Vonnegut Umbrella.

Listen while Josh explains. 

The Ghosts of Podcasts Past, Present, and Future arrive to teach the guys about the true meaning of the Christmas movie. Being the know-it-all jerks that they are, Jason, Josh, and Adam decide to tell the ghosts what a good Christmas movie is really about. They also wedgie the ghosts and take their lunch money as they discuss the various versions of A Christmas Carol (including the Muppet kind), A Christmas Story, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, The Santa Clause, and the Ahnold classic Jingle All the Way. 

It's a lazy night. It's raining outside, and your ankle monitor keeps you in a ten yard radius of the sofa. The TV is there, and it's your friend. Time to flip through the channels and find something good to watch. Josh, Adam, and Jason discuss those films that make them put down the remote and pay attention. We'll find out which films they are prone to watch no matter the time, place, or how far along the film already is. We dig up some fine examples of always watchable entertainment like: Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown; Star Wars: A New Hope & The Empire Strikes Back; Silverado; Pulp Fiction; Bridge on the River Kwai; Beastmaster; and Big Trouble in Little China.

Unfortunately, it's happened to all of us. Especially when you were young. It wasn't really your fault. You just didn't know any better. You got caught up in the wrong crowd. Peer pressure is a thing. Before you know it, you're using that money that you stole from your mother's purse to buy a ticket to Attack of the Clones. I mean... you saw The Phantom Menace. You know that this isn't going to get any better; but there are your friends waving you into the theater. The latest trailers and Lego sets are racing across their minds. They've succumbed to... THE OVERHYPE!!!!

It's Halloween time. I remember being a kid and adults having a great fear of the supernatural. 

It kinda made life scarier, but also, more fun. 

The chiming of the old grandfather clock notifies us that it is the witching hour. Well, the witching hour for those who go to bed by 7:30. That gives everyone plenty enough time to listen to the recent episode of The Bricked Pit where Josh, Jason, and Adam finish up their horror themed episodes in honor of Halloween by talking about the super genre of the HORROR COMEDY!!!! Get to the work shed as the guys discuss such films as Evil Dead 2; What We Do in the Shadows; Tucker & Dale vs. Evil; Saturday the 14th; Gremlins; and Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Whoever brought the wolfman, could you please get him back on his leash. He's in the flowerbed again digging up Jason's prize begonias. 

We're coming to get you, Kevin. You and the five other people who listen. Why? Well, because when there's no more room in Hell, the dead shall start their own podcasts and horn in on our audience. Adam, Jason, and Josh are aiming for the head when they discuss the genre that just won't die: ZOMBIE MOVIES. We talk about the slow zombies, the fast zombies, the not quite zombies zombies, and why copyrights are important. We name drop such classics as Night of the Living Dead, Return of the Living Dead, World War Z, 28 Days Later, Dawn of the Dead (both of them), and The Walking Dead among others.
