The Bricked Pit

We are the precipice of a vast change in our society. AI is running our lives. Robots are getting human faces. Let's not even ask what those guys at Boston Dynamics are doing. Cinema has a long history of using our imaginative inventions to tell compelling stories. Listen in as Adam, Josh, and Jason discuss movies about our impending artificial overlords in such films as Robocop, Metropolis, and the Blade Runner films.

When things go bump in the night, who checks it out. Not us. But we'll talk about the people who do. Join Old Man Josh, Ghost Clown Adam, and Sludge Monster Jason on their discussion of supernatural sleuths to finish out the month of October and the Halloween season. Listen as they discuss such media as Kolchak the Night Stalker, The X-Files, True Detective, Constantine, The Legend of Hell House, and the legendary Scooby-Doo.

Get out your crucifixes and hand up the garlic. To start off the Halloween season, the guys talk vampire movies. Listen to Adam, Josh, and Jason as they discuss such media as Bram Stoker's Dracula, Near Dark, and What We Do In the Shadows.

You're amazed that Chatbot AI lies? James Cameron done told us about evil AI like 40 years ago! Listen as Jason, Josh, and Adam talk about those films whose themes and subject matter were warnings or demonstrations of the failings and dangers of our society are still relevant today, despite the decades that have past. They'll talk about movies like Hidden Figures, They Live, and A Face in the Crowd.

Grab the popcorn and drinks. Put away the cellphones. Why? Because we're back in movie theaters, and you don't want to be a jerk. Hear Josh, Adam, and Jason talk about why people are still going out to the movies and what brought them out of their dark homes into the darkened theaters. They'll talk about such viewing experiences as Blue Beetle, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, Evil Dead Rising, and, of course, the phenomena of Barbienheimer.

This is a severe weather advisory to anyone in the Bricked Pit vicinity. There's a 100% chance of sarcasm with scattered discussions that remain on the topic of films that take place during harsh weather. Jason, Josh, and Adam talk about movies such as Hard Rain, Rear Window, and Do the Right Thing. Watch you footwear because you might step in more than just a puddle with these guys.

Get 'em up, dressed, and out the door. The bus will be here soon. Don't forget those sack lunches. It's the new school year, and Jason and Adam are having class on school movies. Are you rebelling against the authority of that new teacher or the tough-as-nails principal? Is you mind being elevated by that inspirational educator who believes in who when no one else does? Or are you just getting into some zany hijinks? Whatever you have on schedule for this year, listen to the guys talk about movies such as Billy Madison, Stand & Deliver, Legally Blonde, Back to School, and Harry Potter.

Freeze, bozo! You're busted! Now you're going to be taken downtown and given the 3rd degree. Maybe they'll use the ole Good Cop/Bad Cop routine. Or possible Good Cop/Crazy Cop. Or Bad Cop/Bad Cop. Could be you'll get bumbling cops all the way around. Who knows! All you know is that you're right in the middle of a buddy cop movie. Listen to Adam, Jason, and Josh confess to watching some of the best and worst in the category like Lethal Weapon, Cop and a Half, Alien Nation, Turner & Hooch, Rush Hour, Training Day, Zootopia, and Hot Fuzz.

Adam talks about how Roger Ebert inspired the way he looks at film.

The summer celebration continues. This episode Adam, Josh, and Jason discuss summer blockbuster movies. Those gigantic, expensive spectacles of big stars, big stunts, big special effects, and big marketing. You stood in line to get in the door. You got the special collector's cup, and now you get to hear your favorite podcast talk about those larger than life movies like Jaws, Batman (1989), Men in Black, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Star Trek (2009), The Rock, and Mad Max: Fury Road.
