On the docket this week:
-Hay, Watch It, Man? -In Case You Hadn't Heard, There Was This Movie Released This Weekend... - We Want To Believe (That People Will Care)
Sanguinist opens the show by explaining how profanity saved his life and overpowered the laws of both inertia and space/time. We then discuss the extremely beautiful trailer for Watchmen and give a brief overview of Alan Moore's problems with both Hollywood and D.C. Comics (we also plug D.C.'s Absolute line of deluxe hardcovers, which bleeds over into an examination of Neil Gaiman's Sandman and a qick rundown of our favorite manga.)
We then give our views on The Dark Knight, which we seem to unanimously love. Some spoilers abound as we give our review, so proceed with care, Gentle Listener. As with most SVR reviews, you've gotta listen for the specifics.
We then celebrate Mulder and Scully's return to the big screen (or any screen, for that matter) in a freak-of-the-week style. We also predict Mama Mia! failing and Hellboy getting a bump from Dark Knight. Unfortunately, we're wrong on both counts. We then look at wrapping up the Summer of Movies and close with a promise to try and talk about some actual news next week.

On the docket this week: -Oh, Bama! -Go to Hell, Boy! -Beware the Fallout! We begin by bringing up the evil of Tinky Winky whilst warning you, Gentle Listener, that this is our first tele-show (the result of which was a major volume discrepancy between the camps, leaving largo and The Boy sounding waaaaaay too loud, for which we profusely apologize), then we move on to why the cover of the New Yorker fails to be satire. Then, much like Vince McMahon, the topic fails to hold out attention as we wander on to the Drudge Report, World of Warcraft, message board trolls, and Voltron's blazing phallus. We also cast Kieth Richards as a necromancer, just for the hell of it, and pay homage to George Carlin. We close out the topic by discussing Google vs. Viacom and reveal for the first time how Peter North was responsible for killing the dinosaurs. We then note briefly (and presciently) that Largo and The Boy are recording a bit loudly before paying homage to Cartoon Planet for the debt owed to it by the current Adult Swim line-up. Largo and Sanguinist then give their reviews of Hellboy II: The Golden Army, explaining why they both liked it, just maybe not as much as they wanted to. Listen to find out why. Ascii porn then somehow rears its ugly head along with Ancient The Boy, who then tells us just why Fallout 3 is going to suck harder that a starlet in a Peter North video. Much like with the Hellboy review, you're gonna have to listen in to hear why. We then slide briefly onto yet another Windows rant and close by elaborating on why Bill Gates picked a good time to jump from the Black Ship.

On the docket for this week: -Lawyers, Guns, and Money We begin with discussing the possibility of putting together a show made of pre-show clips, then we beg for e-mails by insulting you, Gentle Listener, in bad French accents. And we mentally picture cats spraying both laptop and owner. And all of this before finishing the intros. And before we hit our first topic, we also plug the Thundercats blooper reel. On the first topic of lawyers, we talk about the seventeen year old who was decapitated by Batman. Well, okay, it was the Batman ride at Six Flags. We also touch again briefly on other ride accidents. And Largo, in poor taste, invokes the silly sound effect overlays used in the '60s Adam West show, while Sanguinist theorizes possible (and cynical) reasons why the kid might have been under the rollercoaster in the first place. We then digress on to the Boy's vacation plans and why it's an extremely poor idea for him to go White Water Rafting, Largo's thrill level at taking care of the dogs, and why Sanguinist will smoke a turd in Hell. Sangunist then brings up the guns by discussing the recent Supreme Court decision to allow Guns in D.C. We then derail for about a minute with huge gales of laughter caused by the Boy's uncontrolled bodily functions. We really apologize. But it is funny :P We then get back on the topic as Sanguinist traces the path of the argument, explains his worldview, and covers briefly how the Pennsylvania state constitution covers gun ownership. We then discuss the other way to control gun deaths; guns are free, lets make bullets really, really expensive. We digress again as Sanguinist asks why we don't have more crossbowings rather than shootings and the Boy tries to sell Smell-O-Vision yet again, and Sangunist reminisces about how National Geographic was, once upon a time, porn for those who couldn't get porn. We then get back to the gun conversation by talking about Olbermann's reaction to the decision, then close it out by discussing how knives are sneaky weapons while guns are somehow supposed to be honorable. Continuing with the guns, we mock the French when a hostage simulation went wrong and the participants ended up firing live ammo, wounding sixteen. This quickly digresses to a discussion bout getting drive thru and the stupid things some kids do to the employees working it. We then invite those teens to go lick bear anuses in order to get high. It works, we swear :P We then slide over into the money by briefly mentioning that Vince McMahon is trying to buy viewers by giving away money on Raw. We then discover that he can't even buy our attention for more than a few minutes as we digress on to using mutated insects as vehicles a la failed '80s toy line Sectaurs. Remember, there is no show next, so eat some over grilled food for us. Email us at: svreasonable@gmail.com Music used with permission by DJ Lodger and Colin's Way Comments[0] |
