The Rabblecast

We're back! And we would like to say, thank you. Thank you for 19 years of support!

Erik and Doug catch up for an impromptu episode. Things have been busy but getting back together to talk feels great! And we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Music, movies, old stories, and so much more!

We are The Rabblecast!

We start off the show with a little movie trivia. What movie opened in August of 1986? We get into the answer and we also talk about movie trivia in the work place as an ice breaker of sorts.

From there, we jump into the recent release of, Batman: The Caped Crusader on Amazon Prime Video. Headed up by Showrunner, Bruce Timm (who previously worked on Batman: The Animated Series) along with Producers, J. J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, Ed Brubaker, and James Tucker. The show, developed by Warner Bros. Animated but licensed to Amazon Prime Video depicts a re-imagined Gotham City with The Batman early in his crime fighting career.

We also get in some more Deadpool and Wolverine talk as Doug got a chance to watch the film and we get to hear his take on it.

All of this and so much more!

On this episode, we talk about the recent theater release of, Deadpool and Wolverine. After a recent string of misses in the Marvel Cinematic Universe from Disney we get a breath of fresh air mixed with comedy, action, and fan service. Did you catch Deadpool and Wolverine in the theaters?

We also go over some of the announcements from San Diego Comic Con and Marvel's Hall H panel. New titles have been added to their release slate with The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Avengers: Doomsday, and Avengers: Secret War. Oh, and Robert Downey Jr. will be returning as the MCU's, Doctor Doom.

There is also some brief news of AEW President, Tony Kahn meeting with Shane McMahon. Hopefully we will get more as this develops.

*Show Note: Hello and welcome to the show! While we have been catching up with our past episodes we decided to jump this episode ahead of the others. We are still getting up to date, but we thought it best to get this one out sooner than later.

We watched the debut of WWE's, Monday Night RAW on Netflix! And we discuss the matches, the news, rumors, and reactions to the show.

On this episode we talk about and say, goodbye to a few celebrities. We recently lost Shannon Doherty (American actress known for her work in Heathers (1989); Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–1994), Mallrats (1995); and Charmed (1998–2001)), Dr. Ruth Westheimer (German and American sex therapist and talk show host.), Richard Simmons (American fitness instructor and television personality.), Bob Newhart (American comedian and actor.), and Shelley Duvall (American actress and producer known for her work in Popeye (1980), The Shining (1980), Time Bandits (1981), Tim Burton's short comedy horror film Frankenweenie (1984), and Fred Schepisi's comedy film Roxanne (1987).)

We also talk about some rumors and theories regarding the release of Deadpool & Wolverine. (This episode was recorded during the first day of San Diego Comic Con and at the time we avoided a lot of the rumors and spoilers surrounding the release of the movie.) How will this entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe help usher in the Mutant Saga?

All of this and so much more!

We jump into some movie trailers for two upcoming films. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Alien Romulus. (Both films have long since released. More on those in later episodes.) Both films are sequels to older popular films. Beetlejuice (1988) and Alien (1979), respectively.

This begs the question, do we need sequels years, sometimes years later?

We also get some Professional Wrestling Talk in as we look at the G1 Climax from New Japan Pro Wrestling.

We discuss the recent news of more delays slowing down the production on Blade and his entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It has been five years since the announcement of the film and Mahershala Ali as the titular character. What will it take to make this film happen?

We also talk about actors getting typecast and how they might struggle finding different roles. In particular, Jim Varney or as the audience might know him, Ernest P. Worrell. As Ernest he had a string of comedic hits. But could he have been a more dramatic actor?

All of this and so much more!

Get set, get ready, because this episode is caffeine fueled! And it's a good thing it is as we launch down multiple rabbit holes! And it all starts with a piping hot double shot of coffee.

From there we go into discussions about Mike Tyson and how he reignited his ego for his upcoming bouts, fun stories about the Rocky films and how Sylvester Stallone got the ball rolling for the franchise. Somehow we veer into, The Walking Dead and how bleak it would be to live in a zombie infested world. Which brings up the show, Naked and Afraid.

But we don't stop there. No. We go into Doug's recent trip to the Mahoning Drive-In in Pennsylvania and how they're going to do a screening of, The Crow(1994) for the 30th anniversary.

And from there... you know what? Find out what else we talked about by listening in. We promise you, there's so much more!

On this episode, we get into an odd discussion regarding State and Federal laws regarding the use of recreational cannabis. More specifically, if you have to take a drug test for a new job opportunity. Does the use of recreational cannabis disqualify you from a potential new job?

Hernandez had the good fortune of watching, The Iron Claw(2023) from A24 Films. Starring Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, and Harris Dickinson. The film loosely tells the story of the Von Erichs, a family of professional wrestlers who are "cursed" by tragedy. Written and Directed by Sean Durkin.
