Unabashedly Obsessed Episode 42: Don’t Do A Hit (MBMBaM Show)

Hey, everyone! Have you ever wondered if it’s a good idea to pad your resume, and if so, how to do it in a way that won’t get you called out? Have you ever wondered what it’s like to have a tarantula crawl across your hand? What about how to get into a secret society?

Well, we don’t have the answers for you…but the McElroy brothers do, and they have a TV show to tell you all about it. And we have a podcast to tell you all about their TV show. Please enjoy it…won’t you?

Thanks to Jamie Chahine for our theme song, “Did You Guys Know There Was A Ladder Down Here?”, and to Emily Kardamis for our cover art. Follow Emily on Twitter: @corruptedgem.

Unabashedly Obsessed Episode 41: Slideshow (Recapping Lost Episodes)

Hey, everyone! We’ve had some audio issues lately, and have lost a couple of really good episodes, so this week we go back and briefly recap those. Think of it like a slideshow, snippets of all the episodes you’ll never get to hear because technology hates us.

Thanks as always to Jamie Chahine for our theme song, “Did You Guys Know There Was A Ladder Down Here?”, and to Emily Kardamis (@corruptedgem on Twitter) for our most excellent logo.

Unabashedly Obsessed Episode 40: Tapping Frustles (“Newsies: The Movie: The Musical: The Movie”)

Hey, everyone! Sorry we’re late this week; due to audio issues, we lost the episode we’d originally planned to post, so you get this one, which we recorded just last night!

We went to see a Broadway production of “Newsies” at the movie theatre (yup), and it was very different from the movie we grew up with! We do not refrain from spoilers in this episode, so if you have plans to see it yourself and want to go in with no knowledge of what was different and what stayed the same, hold off on this episode until after you’ve seen it.

Unabashedly Obsessed Episode 39: Is That a Spine? (Video Games)

Hey, everyone! Erin’s been playing Fire Emblem Heroes and as we all know, when Erin decides she’s excited about something, it’s all she can talk about. So this week we discuss video games! But not just the mainstream ones. Sure, we touch on your Mortal Kombats, your Mario Partys, your Call of Dutys. But we also talk about the original Gameboy, which was the handheld game equivalent of the Zack Morris phone; we talk about a revolutionary war video game that Erin has already forgotten the name of even though she finished editing this episode not five minutes ago; and obscure Japanese interactive-romantic-fiction mobile games. Also, James tells us about the time he invented the Internet.

Episode 38: An Actually Varied Variety Hour (Podcasts Update)

Hey, everyone! This week we dive back into our podcast apps and discuss what we’ve been listening to since the last time we talked about what podcasts we listen to–and this time some of Erin’s podcasts are NOT hosted by McElroys!

Unabashedly Obsessed Episode 37: Bug In a Jar (“Waxwork II: Lost In Time”)

Hey, everyone! You know when you’re having a meal with someone and they say, “Oh my God, this is TERRIBLE, here, try it”? Well, that’s basically what we are doing to you this week, because we watched “Waxwork II: Lost In Time” and man, was it terrible; here, listen to us talk about it!

If ever there was an episode that brought the not-so-pop-culture to Unabashedly Obsessed, this is it. It’s a bad, BAD movie. But delightfully so? Sort of?

The theme song is a real gem, and we found a YouTube link of it for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5o8WBbUg4E

You’re welcome?

Thanks to Jamie Chahine for our theme song, “Did You Guys Know There Was a Ladder Down Here?”, which is a much better song than “Bug In a Jar”.

Episode 36: James and Erin Write a Movie (“Redo Year’s Eve 1”)

Hey, everyone! Did you ever wish you could go back in time over and over and over again until you manage to right every tiny wrong throughout your day, and also that you and everyone around you was named Steve? Well then boy, are you gonna love this movie.

Unabashedly Obsessed Episode 35: Footholds For Your Teeth (“Landline” by Rainbow Rowell)

Hey everyone! We read a book! That isn’t by Stephen King! But it does involve time travel. (Even though we are not a time travel podcast.) This week we delve into Rainbow Rowell’s fourth book, “Landline”. What works? What doesn’t? Which character is the worst character, not just in this book but also possibly ever? How, exactly, does one use another person’s dimples as footholds for one’s teeth during a makeout session?

Episode 34: Happy Brithday, Kiristy Swanson (Books/TV/Movie Adaptations)

Hey, everyone! Happy 2017! You know what’s great? When they take your favorite book/TV show/movie and turn it into a really good book/TV show/movie. You know what’s not great? When they turn it into a bad one.

Today we talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly adaptations of books to TV, books to movies, movies to TV, movies to books, TV to movies, and everything in between.

Episode 33: Definitely Not Peen Scene (Favorite Books of 2016)

Hey, everyone, and welcome to our final episode of 2016! In general, this year should never have happened, but some good things did come out of it: we read some really good books! And some of them weren’t even by Stephen King! Allow us to tell you about them!
