On the show this week:
-Let's Just Pretend We Came Up with a Clever Title for this Bit, Alright? -How to Get a Job without Experience/How to Get Experience without a Job -That's a Hell of a Case of Shrinkage, Dude -Something Vaguely Entertaining
In advance, we apologize for The Boy's excessive volume levels.
We begin the show by confusing bare nipples with bear nipples while Sanguinist plugs another podcast (The Drabblecast) via Chris Hanson.
Though none of us got a really good look at the actual debate, we look at the Health Care summit. Once again, we speculate that the most dangerous political situation to be in going into the next election is having the word 'incumbent' next to your name. We also come to the horrible realization that we've been doing this show for almost three years.
After a painful flying aside brought up by The Boy involving razor blades, a vagina, and an unfaithful husband and another by Largo talking about the Star Trek bridge noises that Sanguinist has to edit out, we move on to a study that reveals that women find men that are with attractive women more attractive. Of course, if a man is already with an attractive woman, this is vaguely pointless (unless she's an escort or a raging bitch.) Largo then quotes an online dating experiment where an identical profile was set up, one with a picture of a man with a full head of hair, the other with him Photoshopped balding. Guess with one got more responses. We then put both of these theories to the Star Trek test. We also speculate if Megan Fox isn't at least partly responsible for Shia LaBeouf's popularity. We close that topic with a pun Largo really should have known better than to make.
Sanguinist then moves us on to a study that draws a parallel between brain shrinkage and insomnia. Listen and marvel at tales of youthful bouts of insomnia and head trauma.
Largo moves into movie territory by giving a really quick shout out to both The Wolfman and Cop Out before we move on to The Card Player, yet another bomb from Chiller. Being more of a crime thriller than a horror movie (and a not very good one at that), we savage this film for its terrible acting and pacing and the cliché ridden script. And we didn't even have any amusing commercials to distract us this week, though the FABulous coroner in the film was kinda amusing. Spoilers abound.

Welcome to the first of our 'Lost Episodes'
On the docket for this show: -Budget? We Don't Need No Steenkin' Budget! -The Best Senator Money Can Buy -Something Vaguely Entertaining
Sanguinist starts us off by discussing Pennsylvania's amazing inability to pass a budget and wondering how that will effect the upcoming G20 Summit being held in Pittsburgh. He also waxes poetic about Ed Rendell's impact on the rest of the commonwealth's elected officials' chances of being reelected. Also, we visit Sanguinist's Conspiracy Corner for just a moment. We also explore just why Pennsylvanians are bitter and hang on to their guns and religion.
Switching to a topic that is just as depressing, we look at Max Baucus's first pass at the health care reform bill and why it sucks. We also weigh the power of the youth vote versus the power of AARP. To lighten the mood, we then engage in Senate Combat! and introduce Jar-Jar Beck.
Somewhat psychically, Largo apologizes on the length of time between recording the show and posting it before hitting the idiocy of the attendees of Jar-Jar Beck's 9/12 rally. We also float the concept of making political parties illegal before looking at how class anger can (hopefully) effect politics.
Moving into Something Vaguely Entertaining, we start off by looking at Driftwood, a film that, actually, wasn't that bad. Not great, mind, but not bad for a 'haunted school for troubled boys' movie. Not so good was Marked, a title that has absolutely nothing to do with the plot of the film. In it, a Scooby-Gang (minus the dog) investigates a series of hauntings related to the past of one of its members. Come for the jelly-filled deaths, stay for Professor Exposition's totally obvious betrayal. After a brief return to the Horrorfest goodness, we then look at The Vampire Effect, the best cheesy kung-fu vampire romantic comedy guest starring Jackie Chan that you will ever see.
We close out SVE with Largo looking at Claire Voyant's new album Lustre, the Boy pimps Freddy vs Jason vs Ash, and Sanguinist plugs 9.

On the docket this week: -Dial N for Negligence -I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me -Something Vaguely Entertaining
We start the show out this rather painfully before descending into bad puns. Getting into the topics, Sanguinist gives us an overview of the amount of snow Pennsylvania has gotten before explaining how this has led to several deaths due to EMS's incompetence. This somehow leads to the discussion of flamethrowers on the front of vehicles, Darkman Brazil, Sam Raimi possibly directing a new Shadow movie, the shake-up in the leadership of DC Entertainment (congrats to Geoff Johns), the Sarah Palin/Family Guy kerfluffal, and Fox News versus Captain America. We close out the topic by wheeling back to an old favorite topic, personal responsibility. As an aside, we float the concept of modernizing old Bible tales (and we eagerly await the hate mail.) Moving into our second topic, Largo brings up the sad tale of an affluent school district outside of Philadelphia that was, unbeknown to the students or their parents, activating the webcams included in school-issue laptops. This became know when the administration tried to discipline a student for doing something in his own home by using a webcam picture as evidence. Let's hear it for stupidity and FBI investigations! We then move into Something Vaguely Entertaining by pining for The Mad, a film that didn't suck, before looking at Tokyo Zombie, a film that started out okay and then jumped off the rails somewhere about the halfway point. Japanese slackers, degenerates and perverts, casual disposal of bodies, karaoke cancer announcements, awkward animated time jumps, zombie/slave pit fights, borderline offesive gay jokes/domestic violence/sexism, sewage Gatling guns, and spoilers abound. The back end of the film is so bad it calls to mind RoboVampire, a legend amongst bad films. Look it up if you've never seen it. We close out the show by examining the genius of Chiller's ad sales department.

On the show this week:
-Valentine's Day: The True Story -Something Vaguely Healthy -Something Vaguely Entertaining
We begin the show on a bitter note as Largo and Sanguinist vent about Valentine's Day while ninjas kill Vanilla Ice's career and the Boy gets one used beaver from eBay. Largo then rants about Nickelback, as he is wont to do. Sanguinist gets us into the topics by exploring the true origins of Valentine's Day. Death by arrows and drowning in sewers make for fine romance. We also remind you that Cupid comes from Eros, whose arrows drove people into uncontrollable lust. Hallmark moments abound. Largo then takes us on a flying aside to bitch about a lousy eBay transaction. Bear with him. The Boy continues the aside with a discussion about new video games coming before Largo waxes lustfully over the upcoming AT-AT previewed at Toy Fair. Getting into the health bits, the Boy tells us that we're fucked because all the soda/sweetened drinks that we consume are tied to an increase in prostate cancer. Sanguinist comes to the rescue by telling us studies show that men who regularly engage in masturbation are less likely to get prostate cancer. So it all balances out. More video game discussion ensues before we close out our health segment with Sanguinist telling us that cholesterol counts are now going to get more complicated. Another aside about commercials brings us up on the humor level before we bring the show down by talking about the luge death on the opening day of the Winter Olympics. This somehow reminds Largo of the explosive power of theRambo cartoon from the '80s. We then give our review of Left in Darkness, the somewhat tasteless Chiller premier. Drunk/dead girls being raped on screen and climbing up the Airvent to Heaven (because the Stairway was out) abound, as do spoilers. We close the show with the Boy's quick look at a bad Ron Jeremy movie as we determine that Brian Blessed is still alive. And, no, the two are not connected.

On the show this week:
-Lord, We Was Born Rambling Men
Beware, Gentle Listener, this is one of those random, rambling episodes. We start out with our general level of apathy regarding the *redacted by order of the NFL *, tough a few of us caught a couple of the ads or the halftime show. We also relive the horror of the Janet Jackson Nipple Slip. We then give a shout out to the spawn of a couple of friends of the show before looking at Mother Nature slipping us 18 inches. Of snow. Getcher mind out of the gutter. Sanguinist gives us a little bit of structure by talking about Sarah Palin cribbing notes for a speech on her hand before moving into the epidemic of autoerotic asphyxiation in the eighth grade. This somehow leads into the Elements taking the Purity Test. Moving on, we note the passing of Jack Murtha before moving on to various pork products (no relation betwixt the topics), including the not-so-tasty treat that is Pork Rinds and aerated pig brains. In our weekly Chiller review, we look at the trainwreck that is The Locals. We won't bore you with details in the show notes. Instead we'll bore you with it in the show. But we will mention our new term: Plot Spackle. It's what you use to try and cover over those annoying plot holes. And please, Gentle Listener, settle a bet for us. If you recall the game Hydlide on the NES, send us an email. Similarly, if you use the term Beating the Dragon as a term for masturbation... on second thought, don't send us an email about that. The crew then looks at a film that doesn't suck, Zombieland. In this case, we don't get to specific because we actually want you to watch this one. Woody Harrelson's zombie fighting prowess leads to a comparison to River Tam, which leads to a discussion about Joss Whedon's unhealthy relationship with Fox. And that somehow leads to beastiality foot fetishists. It's better not to ask how. We also revisit Jennifer Love Hewitt's Vagazzling before introducing Pubis Maximus, the gynecological exam table Transformer, and Speculum, his MiniCon partner. Hell of a way to end a show.
