Just an update.  We aren't dead, just problems of a new job and other facts of life getting in they way.  We hope to be back by 10/8/09.  Thank you for your support.

On the show this week:

-I Made This

-Something Vaguely Entertaining

The Boy starts our show off with a blast, Largo brings the cellphone noise, and Sanguinist brings up the new contest between the corpses of Michael Jackson and James Brown.

Getting on topic, Sanguinist tells us of the quest (and probibility) of creating an artificial life form and tells us of the practical applications. And we quickly diverge from there into thinking with our dipsticks, artificial orgasms, and the dangers of recording with cats.

We then digress into the recent court ruling that forced Pandora to start charging for service. Listen and be amazed as the RIAA shoots itself in the foot again. Sanguinist also plugs an open source RPG called Eclipse Phase and The Boy tells how the New York City Skank bought Google low.

The crew the catches up with two weeks' worth of Chiller premiers. Listen in horror as we cover Scar (the shot-on-video, Joe Estevez starring, Photoshop special effects using piece of tripe), Asylum Presents: Death Valley: The Revenge of Bloody Bill (an odd fusion of Western and zombie film), and Grizzly Park (a horror film with the most ridiculous soundtrack ever heard. And more pissing scenes that a fetish film.) Largo also reminisces about ads for Creep Phone, Sanguinist bitches about Eastern Standard Time, and we invite you to join us on Twitter every Friday night at 10:00 to tweet about crappy Chiller movies. We also preview next week's gem, Dead Mary.

On the show this week:

-Give Me Rock and Roll or Give Me Death

-Get in My Belly!

-Something Vaguely Entertaining

We start with doped-up The Boy trying to supplement his post-surgery voice with electronically. That works ever so well. And please forgive Largo's lack of volume, Sanguinist's varying volume, and The Boy's overwhelming volume (and belching.) We all recorded into the same box this week, so our ability to make adjustments was limited.

Largo starts us out by bitching about the death of WQWK, the last modern rock station in his market. Moreover, the head honchos decided to kill Qwk Rock so that it could be replaced with a conservative talk radio station. Brilliant move. Suck it, Forever Broadcasting.

After we introduce our newest character, Viking Dan, Sanguinist then moves us on to the sad tale of a mother who, suffering from postpartum depression, killed and ate her baby after Satan told her to. This leads into using Karl Rove as an ambassador to Hell and how Jon Stewart can use his rep as a comedian to be more effective than some real reporters.

Prepare then for the onslaught of crap thanks to the Chiller network. Spoilers, such as they are, abound as we look at Warriors of Terra, a film that involved no warriors but did at least take place underground, and Asylum Presents: Shapeshifter, which can certainly not be faulted for lack of truth in the name. The first film combines the worst of the 'base under siege' film with the over-mined genre of the 'faux-Japanese creepy pale girl with ill defined powers that moves in a creepy, unnatural way and kills you.' Add in the fact that only every fifth frame was actually lit and a cast of completely stereotypical caricatures (and Eddie Furlong) and you get a completely useless exercise that makes some SyFylitic Originals look good. On the plus side, it does give us a new element, Handwavium, the Anti-Zeist. Our second film manages to look better in comparison despite starting with (blurred) breasts, proving again the rule that if you see tits in the first five minutes, the film's gonna suck. This gem features wooden acting couples with stereotypical characters (that are, admittedly, a little better than the last film's), Romanian gangsters that speak in Russian, a prison full of nice criminals, a monster that looks like the bunny suit from Donnie Darko, a ton of tropes that are set up that the film fails to pay off, and a gas chamber that kills people by using natural gas. On the plus side, it's better lit that Warriors of Terra, and Sanguinist proves that one could take a nap in the middle of the film and miss nothing important.

On the less sucktastic side, we then look at G.I. Joe, which we all found pretty entertaining. Not spectacular, mind, but entertaining. Explosions, poor science, and big, a spoiler or two, and some dumb fun abound.

And if you can hear him, Largo closes the show with a look at Human Alliance Bumblebee, a pretty spiffy Transformer on a larger scale than the deluxe class that comes with a slightly dopey looking Shia LaBeouf figure.

On the show this week:

-Play Nice, Kids
-It's Not Me, It's You
-You Got Your Bioweapon in My Hand Sanitizer...
-Put Down the Controller, Pick Up the Crack Pipe
-Something Vaguely Entertaining

Welcome to our most alcohol fueled episode in a while. Listen and be amazed at the fluidity of out hosts as we discuss Islands in the Stream of poop, how, like the Hoff, we're huge in Germany, the iDong, the SVR crew's drinking tolerance, how various vampires might vamp for time (which leads off into a discussion of how Twilight and Laural K. Hamilton have royally screwed up the supernatural fiction market), and our various experiences with kidney stones. And all of this before we even get into our first topic.

We start out (finally) with the (since debunked) rumor that the bosses at both Newscorp and G.E., owner of NBC and MSNBC, brokered a deal to end the feud between Keith Olbermann and Bill O'Reily. We also touch on the controversy about MSNBC still using Richard Wolfe even though he's become an advertised lobbyist without that being made explicitly obvious. We also comment on the relative quality of Olbermann's other fill-in hosts.

Sanguinist then gives us a look at why the Pittsburgh Pirates have sucked for most of the last two decades (and will likely continue to do so for the foreseeable future.) This also bleeds out into a discussion of the other sports that Sanguinist likes before moving on to talking about cooking (and we introduce the SVR Chalupacabra!)

We then make a mountain out of a molehill by giving a conspiracy theory about a batch of hand sanitizer recalled and destroyed because it was contaminated by a 'dangerous bacteria.' Sanguinist speculates that it may have be flesh eating bacteria (and we introduce our new band, Stephlococcus, and their debut album, PyroGenesis.) We also explore the wonderful world of necrotic venom.

The Boy gives us a study that suggests a possible reason for the failure of the video game industry to fall as far, economically, as had been expected; namely, that video games are an addiction. The Boys says, “No shit.” We also reveal the secret of the SVR Stinger and challenge the Mythbusters to use an XBox with the Red Ring of Death to cook ramen. The Boy then gives us a look at the demo of the new Call of Duty and Sanguinst gives us his views on Fallout 3. This somehow leads into another wrestling discussion focusing on Bobby Lashly's move to TNA.

We close out the show with a review of Feast, another horror film that was far better than it deserved to be. Spoilers abound as we show how this movie turns more than a few horror movie tropes on their heads.

On the docket this week:

-Something Vaguely Entertaining

We begin the show with the concept of frosting a cake with napalm-poo and dogs selling organs before moving on to the twelve mile patch of Stephen King-esque goo hovering about Alaska's coast. We predict it'll be about a week before we get a SyFylitic Original Movie in the works.

Largo then gives a small review of Shout Factory's super special Matrix of Leadership collector's box set of Transformers: The Complete Series before we sneak some science into the show by talking about some interesting tech-savvy, migratory ants.

Largo gets us back into the entertainment portion of the show by bitching about the misnomer of Watchmen: The Ultimate Edition, released this holiday season, that will fail to contain the bonus features that are included on the Director's Cut that has just been released. And The Boy condones illegal activities before digressing on to a game called Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! Largo then digresses further by talking about Amazon's exclusive version of Batman: Arkham Asylum (and Sanguinist lets us know how to get free night-vision goggles with another game before digressing even further by telling us the sad tale of the Hanging Judge statue from Pinnacle.)

Switching gears, we talk a bit about how great it would be to have Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg make an Indiana Jones movie (and talk a bit about how any of the Indy movies have bits in them as unbelievable as the Fridge Nuke from Crystal Skull) before moving on to reviewing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Give a listen to see what we liked (or not.) Note: for a change, we manage to avoid any heavy spoilers (though we do earn our explicit rating yet again. We also inquire about Ben Franklin and dead hookers, just for good measure.)

We close the show by comparing Midnight Meat Train and Splinter, the two horror films we took in over the week. Listen and hear how the former differs from the Clive Barker story it is based on (and revel in the cheeseball, over the top CGI gore) and how the latter is far better than it has any right to be. We also run down what we consider to be good Barker adaptations and how Sanguinist came to give Millennium a second chance. As a warning, unlike with Harry, spoilers abound in this segment.

On the docket this week:


-It's Kinda Like Cat Litter and Dead Celebrities

-It's About Frankin Time

-Conan, What Is Best in Life (and Other Tortured Sports Metaphors)

-Something Vaguely Entertaining


We begin the show with a desperate attempt to avoid laughing at the Boy's silliness. That almost works.


Getting the train on track, we talk about Death's busy week, running down the list of our recently deceased celebrities. Listen to our tributes (such as they are) to Ed McMahon, Billy Mays, Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, and Steve McNair. We also digress into the legalities of Margaritaville, Sanguinist's lack of belonging to Generation X, and the negative connotations of the term Millennial.


We then congratulate Al Frankin on finally, finally, finally taking his seat in the Senate before quickly looking at recent Supreme Court decisions. Largo and the Boy then vamp for time while Sanguinist takes a call, then we get back to bashing Norm Coleman and the media's insistence on pointing out that Frankin was a comedian before becoming a public servant. We then look at other comedians that we'd like to see get into politics.


Sanguinist then moves us over to Sarah Palin's impending resignation as governor of Alaska and we ponder just why she chose to do so. We then branch out into politics in general (as we are wont to do.)


The Boy and Sanguinist move us into Something Vaguely Entertaining by previewing Starcraft 2, sorta, before we move on to discussion about how many development houses have been bought out and bastardized as well as speculating about how to step up the fighting game genre to the next level. Largo then closes out the topic with a review of the Central Pennsylvania 4th Fest fireworks show (and potential uses for discount fireworks.)

On the show this week:


-Something Vaguely Entertaining


First, let's start out with an apology for the infrequent show updates. Life has this bad habit of getting in the way of living, so getting shows recorded has been a bit difficult recently. Sorry about that.


We start out by speculating about bear fat as a hair gel and we pounce on Sanford's sex scandal before we get into our review of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Given how bad the critical reaction has been, this continues our summer of 'Did You Watch the Same Movie I Did?' Listen as Largo and The Boy answer criticisms of racism and poor storytelling (at least in the context of an action movie.) be warned, spoilers abound. This also gives us an overview of movies that have been reviewed better, Boba Fett Syndrome, off topic video game reviews, Cialis: The Video Game, and DevastateHer, the combining, transforming sex toy.


We then move on to the $3000.00 wonder that was The Stink of Flesh (and by wonder, we mean that we wonder why they bothered.) Listen and marvel at the low budget, low concept, polyamorous/necrophiliac zombie apocalypse experience (trust us, we make it sound like a far more interesting movie than it is.) Spoilers (as if you'll care) abound here as well.


We close out the movie portion of SVE by giving the baselines for out patented Tentacle Rating System and taking a look at the trailer for Daybreakers (and pointing out that General Mills is no longer making the Monster Cereals.)

Sanguinist then gives us a quick and dirty look at Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition, which he states is a pretty good 'gateway' game to try and bring in some (desperately needed) new blood into the hobby. We also puzzle over the concept of Tournament Play, the inherent problems with anti-piracy software/practices, and the silliness of ransoming the new version of Chill for $35,000.00. We also speculate about setting up a suggestion pile/donation button to get bad movies for us to watch (donations shall be spent on alcohol to make the movies watchable.) And we close out with Zael's answer to our bacon question from a few shows ago.

On the docket this week:
-Canadian Bacon
-Kung-Fu: The Legend Dangles
-A New Form of Breakdancing
-Do You Get a Gold Cape When You Retire?
-Something Vaguely Entertaining

We start out with Largo bitching, “I fought the lawn and the lawn won.” We also find out why Autumn is a peelin', how Sanguinist avoided taking a sac to the face, and we issue some Robot Pick-Up Lines.

Autumn starts us off by discussing just how much damage the new law requiring Canadians to have a passport to enter the states is doing to the local economy. We then explore out new Horrorfest entry, Takin' Your Head, Eh? This also leads to some speculation as to what the AVN Award looks like and how our Whorefest film entry could win (and the less said about the new D&D monster, the Jizz Golem, the better.) On a more serious digression, we also look at W's reading habits and Poppa-Largo's recent trip to a (very inept) hospital (and other hospital horror stories.)

Shifting gears, we take a potentially ill-informed look at the death of David Carradine and the conspiracy theories about it. We also revisit Sanguinist's aversion to poo-porn before Sanguinist moves us on to the newest Forbidden Dance. No, it's not the Lambada; it's Daggering, a simulated sex-dance that, when tried without clothes on, can cause penile fractures. Male members of the audience, feel free to cringe. This leads to digressions about Autumn getting duct taped at Catholic school and the Boy's alter ego, The Flaming Penis.

Keeping it in the superhero vein, Sanguinist shows us the online registry for real-life superheroes (and how some of them are scarier than hell.) Invariably, the discussion then turns to deviant sexual behavior. Again. And the X-Files.

Largo launches us into SVE with a quick and dirty look at the prequel novels for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra. He also give props to Revenge of the Fallen Optimus Prime as the most complicated Transformer he's ever owned. The SVR crew then pans the previews for Year One before reveling in the fact that Land of the Lost has indeed failed. We close out the show by reviewing the Horrofest film Dark Ride. Listen to hear our savage review as we compare this turd to other films in the Horrorfest series (and, not that you can really spoil a shitty movie like this, but spoilers abound.) Also listen to hear Sanguinist pull out the 'hidden' meaning of the film.

On the show this week:

-Sotomayor, Mr. Roboto
-Profiting from Others' Misery Isn't as Easy as it Used to Be
-The Hottest T-shirt on Amazon
-Something Vaguely Entertaining

We begin with Sanguinist deflating the joy of a couple of coworkers that have hit the milestone that is twenty-one. We also look at the continuing war between Sheetz and Subway for sandwich dominance. We also provide a link to DJ Lodger's first album. We close out the opening ramble by imagining Fran Dresher and Gilbert Godfrey having sex, wondering if Dick Chaney has had enough mechanical parts implanted to be classified as a sex toy, giving a look at the first Transformer named after a toy not recommended for ages 5 and up, and we anti-climax by failing to find anything by typing five q's and hitting “I Feel Lucky” on Google.

Our first (unscheduled) topic is the addition and subtraction of cats from the SVR family, and we then expound on the growing empire that is SVR. We also educate Autumn on things she's too young to remember and wish failure on Will Farrel's Land of the Lost.

Sanguinist then starts us off with his strong opinion on Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. And it's not based on what you think. Or, if you actually know him, it's exactly based on what you'd think. This leads to a discussion of how this pick, along with some other choices made, make Obama one smart politician before we pick apart G. Gordon Liddy's main objection to Sotomayor (and we float the idea of Ozzy Osborne leading the Largo clan on a Crazy Train Tour and Fantasy C-Span.) Largo also digresses onto a failed school shooting/suicide attempt after Marylin Manson gets mentioned. Listen to find the connection. We also discuss our coping strategies for high school teasing before Autumn revisits some of her classmates on Facebook and then look at how the Middle Class has been transformed into the voyeur class.

Largo drags this tanker back on track, however briefly, by exploring how the pledge of health care reform has kept a certain segment of the stock market from rebounding. This quickly derails onto a discussion of how the Bacon Bra is the ultimate in male control (and we seek Zael's opinion on this as a vegetarian.)

Autumn gives us a quick run down on how an Internet gag has made a shirt featuring three wolves howling at the moon the hottest t-shirt on Amazon. We also beg Stephen Colbert to mention us on his show and explore the possibility of burning our show onto Canadian Bacon DVDs as a Collectors' Edition of the show.

Largo and the Boy move us onto our final topic by reviewing Drag Me to Hell. Give a listen and see why Largo doesn't think that it's as good as the critics seem to. Spoilers abound. We also digress onto a discussion about how when a horror movie is critically acclaimed, it gets rebranded as a suspense film or a thriller and how Autumn wants to make a horror film of her own. Sanguinist then closes the show by telling us about Colin, the zombie movie made for seventy dollars that stormed Cannes.

On this week's show:

-You Can't Patent That! Okay, but We'll Still Use It
-Let the Facts Moo-ve You
-A Super-Sized Something Vaguely Entertaining

We begin by fusing HAL and KITT into some bastard fusion (as well as David Hasslehoff and Kiefer Sutherland) while Sanguinist treats bees as Pokemon. We also look at the difference between dead guys and Dead Guy Ale.

Getting onto our topics, Sanguinist leads off with a story about a denied patent for a RF chip that is tied to a cyanide capsule. Limitless, applications for those: parenting, sex offenders, controlling the Hulk...(and we also look at both Vitamin Duh, Vitamin G, and Vitamin Aw, Fuck!) We also bring up the old story about the guy who went in to rob a place with a bomb strapped to his head (and the under-publicized resolution to that story.) The Boy then states categorically that he is not a Cadbury Egg , Sanguinist points out that a little bit of penicillin will clear up that nasty case of Super Saiyan, and we discuss ways of defeating Mustache-Twirling Bad Guy (and we introduce Photosynthesis Smurf.) Continuing with the digressions, we look at the SVR crew's secret weakness, the Dream Police Care Bear, fashion police polar bears, and the return of '80s fashion.

We then (finally) move on to our second topic; the waterboarding of Chicago radio host Mancow. We wonder briefly if we have to waterbaoard everyone who thinks it's not torture to get the point that it's drowning across.

Starting out Something Vaguely Entertaining, Sanguinist runs down of Robin D. Law's Gumshoe, as role-playing system that sounds like a simple and fun way to run a detective game in a variety of different genres (we also look at Tensor's Floating Mammaries, Bigby's Clenched Anal Cheeks, and Milf's Anal Arrow as a useful D&D spells as well as T-Rex sex habits.)
The Boy then gives us a report of PC Gamer's 365 Free Games (some of which are cooler than others) and then takes a look at Prinny: So I Can Be the Hero? (and look at the relative merits of the girls of The Breakfast Club and just why Ninja Gaiden was a bitch to beat.)
Largo then reviews Resurrection: The Insurrection Edition from Oni Press. It's good, especially given that it's almost 200 pages for six bucks. While he's plot light to try to avoid spoilers, give it a listen and see if it's your cup of tea.

We close out Something Vaguely Entertaining with a review of Terminator Salvation, another movie that makes us wonder if we saw the same movie that the critics did. Give a listen and see whose side you fall on, ours or the critics (warning: minor spoilers abound.)

Largo ends the show with a set of small tributes to both what is likely the last episode of Transformers Animated and the Burger King Kingon ads (and a promise to try and catch Drag Me to Hell before next show.)

On the docket this week:

-NASCAR and Science Finally Understand Each Other

-SquEnix... Yeah, Still Assholes

-Political Drive-By (Not Somali Edition)

-Something Vaguely Entertaining


We begin by discussing the hirsute natures of your gentle hosts and a possible connection between that and Sasquatch sightings in Central PA before getting on topic and bringing up the fact that the only reason the news cares about the latest NASA launch is because, as Sam Neil might say, THEY ALL MIGHT DIE! We then sidetrack into how the government has looked at science for the last eight years, how the media looks at things in general, and how Hydroxycut will kill you more certainly than going up in the space shuttle. We also digress into the politics of getting laid at Pennsic and the idiocy that is Sexting (and the idiocy of law enforcement's response to it.) Sanguinist closes out the digression by talking about a Lovecraft mod for Shadowrun and the myth of the Steampunk Who-Ha.

The Boy then gives us part three in a continuing series of exposes about why Square/Enix is a bunch of assholes. Give it a listen and regret ever giving them money by buying a Final Fantasy game. This lead then to a run down of some of the current crop of MMORPGs. Sangunist then delivers that long-ago promised review of Dawn of War 2. Discover how it earned the ringing endorsement of “It's okay”, while the Boy discusses the potential pointlessness of the Wii's proposed 'watch' mode, which reduces the gamer to the role of a spectator.

Largo the gives the President a quick political pasting comparing his rhetoric versus his actions on the release of the photographic proof of abuse at various detention facilities while Sanguinist approves of the judicious offering of some jobs to potential political enemies while maintaining the appearance of bipartisanship.

We then slide into our review of Amusement, which apparently has the most ironic title in film history given that it had no amusement contained therein. Listen and share our pain (and not in the fun, happy HorrorFest sort of way.) On a happier note, we close by discussing a much better film, Star Trek. Listen and share the love ('cause we all loved it. Warning: here there be spoilers.)

Our topics this week:

-The Specter of Loyalty

-Gee, it Must Really Suck to be Oppressed for Your Beliefs

-I Survived the Swine Flu and All I Got Was this Lousy Discount Bacon

-Something Vaguely Entertaining (featuring Wolverine)

We start out by wishing our music master DJ Lodger a happy birthday, Largo does a good Christopher Walken imitation, and Autumn explores conservative porn talk before we get on topic with Arlen Specter's defection to the Democratic party in order to survive politically. We also deflate the thought of using questions of loyalty as a weapon against Specter because, honestly, he's been in office for the last 30 years. Anyone who doesn't know him by now in Pennsylvania just hasn't been paying attention. This also leads to Largo lobbying once again for term limits in politics (while coughing his lungs out), Autumn getting Ron Paul and Ron Jeremy confused, and Sanguinist exploring how keeping Democrats together is like herding cats. This leads to an examination of our memories of the '80s (those of us that have them) before we get back to needing seniority to get anything done in politics (and we also look at bestiality. Seriously. But we try to leave Skeletor's mother out of it. But we won't leave Chris Matthews out of it, nor will we leave out either Honest Bob's rodents of unusual size or Sanguinist's fighting barn cat.)

Shifting gears, we look at Miss California's assertion that she's being punished for her beliefs on opposite marriage by having near-naked pictures of her being released. This leads to a more general discussion about 'protecting the sanctity of marriage' and a general lack of awareness of personal responsibility and consequences.

As Largo coughs some more, we return to the topic of Swine Flu and how the media has really over emphasized its danger. We also look at how little sense it makes for the folks who work in food service likely not being able to take time off from work when they're sick. We also run down our own personal bests regarding wicked cases of the flu. This somehow leads to Invader Zim attacking vegans by using a Meat Mech.

The SVR crew then gives their views on X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Give it a listen and see why Largo disagrees with the critics and some of his cohosts. Mostly. We also then look at the trailers for Terminator: Salvation, Night at the Museum 2, 9, District 9, Funny People, and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. We then all promise to see Star Trek for our next show before digressing on the potential problems of having a hot, young crew and how that may be needed to bing in some new blood to the fan base. Largo closes us out by giving a brief look at Star Trek Season 1 on Blu-Ray.

On the docket this week:

-Hitchcock Got it Wrong

-Naturally Occurring Elements and Other GOP Fumbles

-Something Vaguely Entertaining

We start winding up for our 100^th episode extravaganza yet again, and Sanguinist plugs a DVD website. We then get into how Bird Flu won't kill us, but the Swine Flu might. Or not. Regardless, Kermit lives in fear. We run down the symptoms of flu and remember SARS. Somehow this leads to speculating about Admiral Ackbar taking over for the retiring John Madden and reminding people that Ewoks are carnivores (and possibly cannibals.) We also introduce our latest SVR character, Bubba Fett, look at how the Force can mislead someone with its visions of the future, sing about wanting a new plague, speculate about Alton Brown's Sith Lord name, and speculate just why Lex Luthor imports its packing materials from China. We close out this topic by revisiting the Oozinator and its almost pornographic commercial.

We segue into our next topic with Sanguinist telling us about a fairly slanted political phone survey he was asked to take. This then leads into an exploration of a series of GOP foibles from carbon dioxide being a harmless gas because it's natural (like arsenic) to the minority leader using the term Torture. We also give the heartwarming story of a line from Sanguinist that shall live on long after him, we look at Largo's sense of patriotism, and explore just why Sean Hannity can legitimately suck Keith Olbermann's offer to waterboard him for charity.

We then give our review of My Name is Bruce, which is a huge chunk of loving, self-referential, self mocking cheese. The Boy then gives a quick and dirty review of Guilty Gear X X Accent Core, Sanguinist gives a story from the days of his yout', and Largo complains about how crappy the Playmates Star Trek toys are in actuality. Sanguinist closes us out by promising a full review of Dawn of War 2 before giving us a rundown of his largest complaint about the game.

On the docket this week:


-Torture Me This, Batman

-God, We're Old

-Guns Don't Kill People, Those Little Metal Things that Come Out of the Barrel Do


We begin by praising Burger King's ad campaign featuring The King, make applying an iron-on sound dirty, and discuss Prophylactics of the Round Table.


Getting on topic, we discuss the latest round of torture memos declassified by the Obama Administration before getting on our stumps to speak out yet again against torture (and for prosecution of those responsible in the face of Spain backing off.) We also look at the American Myth of Good Guys and Bad Guys, the miasma of paranoia that permeated the '80s, and just why Anarchy isn't a really good governing philosophy.


We then swing over to how Obama is going to piss almost everyone off by taking a middle-of-the-road stance on gun control. This moves us on to how personal responsibility stacks up against relinquishing control to the government. We close this topic out by pointing out just how many ways there are to kill a person without a gun.


Largo then corrects a misconception from a previous show: there is no provision for secession in the Texas state constitution, but that hasn't stopped Texas from talking about it, along with other states, Pennsylvania included, starting up sovereignty resolutions. We also look at the folly of trying to ban guns in Philadelphia and how both civics classes and polite cross-party dialogue have become endangered species.


We then feel old when we realize that Farscape is now ten years old, hit a few fun stories about the show, and then move onto yet another bad SyFy movie that really should have gotten them sued (and the first bad sci-fi movie that made Sanguinist change the station.) Largo then feels even older by reading some old G.I. Joe comics.

On the show this week:


-Black Sites Aren't Just for the Internet Anymore

-AmazonFail!

-Sexual Innuendo and the Body Politic

-Something Vaguely Entertaining

-Sanguinist's Life Falls Apart: Time Magazine Agrees With Him


We start out with Largo screwing up the intro before we introduce the new board game Hungry, Hungry Zombies! Sanguinist then gives a glimpse into just why he distrusts Wikipedia.

Getting into topic land, we look at how the Attorney General more-or-less admitted that we did torture by stating that we don't anymore and how the new administration seems disinclined to pursue charges. Sanguinist recommends getting Israel to get involved in a World Cort investigation, maybe by sending Mossad agents in dressed as Cub Scouts to extradite George Bush for the inevitable international war crimes trial.

This leads to an exploration of the Republican Party's failure to understand the vernacular meaning of the term Teabagging. We also look at the lack of focus about just what the Teabagging protests were supposed to be protesting. We also speculate about Jim Jones's cult wearing Snuggies if they were around today and about having to drop Dick Chaney down a reactor shaft if he really was a Sith Lord.

Largo moves us over to a discussion about Amazon's 'glitch' that removed a bunch of books (many with gay or lesbian themes) from both Amazon's ranking and from the general search and Twitter's role in bringing it to folks' attention. We also digress onto the hilariously melodramatic “A Storm Is Gathering” anti-gay ad and the amusing audition tapes that make it impossible to take even remotely seriously. Sanguinist then gives us a small look at a controversy about Wikipedia removing articles about alternative faiths. This leads to a small digression about the Conflicker virus and how it was too effective for its own good. The Fish-Powered Engine then takes us over to look at the Somali pirate situation and how America is most likely to deal with it.

Sanguinist then states that his life is over because Time Magazine has stated that zombies are cool. We must now part ways with our zombie followers because if they've become mainstream, we can't hang out with them anymore. But we can hang out with Woody Harrelson, who beats up paparazzi because he mistakes them for zombies.

Speaking of zombies, Sanguinist gives us his review of the non-zombie movie Quarantine. Spoilers ensue, so if you haven't seen the film, stop here and come back when you're done. We also introduce the new, official SVR rating system: How Many Tentacles Out of Eight? We also look at how badly Dragonball: Evolution performed in its opening weekend and how well the new Star Trek is being reviewed. Rounding our movie topic out, we look forward to Terminator: Salvation and how the leaked work copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine doesn't seem to be endangering its opening weekend before hitting a request for Brimstone on DVD and staging an intervention in Joss Whedon's abusive relationship with Fox. We also look at NBC's poor luck with both genre series and other shows in general as well as SyFy trying to restart Stargate yet again. We close out the topic by looking at the different type of Bruce Campbell fans.

We end the show by paying off last week's cliffhanger.

On the show this week:

-Something Vaguely Random

Yes, Gentle Listener, it's going to be one of those random association, rambling sorts of shows, so if you don't like those, you might want to skip this one. We, on the other hand, think we're pretty damned funny when we do this sort of thing.

Largo starts us off by describing his financial woes and Sanguinist rages against the credit machine. Largo then goes Hollywood by describing the rather cool way that Paramount premiered the new J.J. Abrams Star Trek film before discussing the leaked version of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In the interim, we speculate on how different the anime Bastard! would have been had it starred Rob Schneider instead of Dark Schneider. Lago then goes back to the Trek well to go on his Enterprise rant before moving over to fans shitting all on Babylon 5. The crew then gives their picks for favorite characters from B5. Sanguinust moves us over into a less-than-well-thought-out viral marketing campaign for Terminator: Salvation, we discuss using Ascii pron to stop a T-100, and Largo reports that Jackie Earle Haley has signed to play Freddy Krueger. The Boy then blows out ears out while we try to recalibrate our soundboard. We then somehow hit Mario as a pot smoking klepto and Meat Spin before giving Zael his weekly shout out. Sanguinist then gives us our science for the week by discussing how first person shooters can actually improve your eyesight. Keeping in the video game arena, the Boy goes on his ran about an old 8-bit game called Hydlide. We then run down the 8-bit hall of fame before hitting wrestling games. Largo and the Boy then give a quick and dirty review of Monsters vs. Aliens, which leads to Ron Jeremy in 3-D. Sanguinist and the Boy give us a run down on stars on TV, then the Boy has to abandon show to check on something mysterious. Tune in next week to find out what it was!

On the show this week:

-Junior Fight Club, or The UFC Scholastic Team

-Eugenics for Dummies Has Been Canceled for Today

-The Boarding School for Vampires

-Webcomics You Should Be Reading (Yes, You! Over in the Corner! Get Your Hand Out of Your Pants and Read These Comics!)


We begin by pointing out the excellent planning on the part of the Republican Party in releasing their budget on April Fool's Day, then wonder why the Trapper Keeper was never used as a D&D item. Ah, Dwarven bikini waxing... We also realize that the year is already a quarter over, and the crew discusses how little they've accomplished. We then introduce our new animal companion, the Emo Emu.


Sanguinist starts us up topically by discussing a radical new idea for interpersonal relationship management in a Texas classroom setting; understanding through beating the shit out of each other in an equipment cage. Revolutionary, isn't it? This leads to a quick digression into Chuck Norris seceding from the United States and taking Texas with him and a Russian theory that the United States is going to fracture into four separate countries. Sanguinist also speculates on Obama using the Patriot Act juuuuuust once to make a point while Largo mentions that Norm Coleman is a cheesy bastard. We then look at just how things might pan out if we could actually get that third political party. Yet another SVR superhero closes out this set of digressions as we introduce Godman!


Sanguinist drags us back on topic by discussing a fertility clinic that, after about a month or so, decided that offering a service to allow parents to choose the eye and hair color of their kids was really not that grand of an idea, partly because of the finances involved and partly because of ill-informed public outcry. We then somehow get on a Looney Tunes digression before getting on to an all-host rant about the previously mentioned ill-informed public outcry and how it can stymie scientific growth and how science is the work of the Devil. This somehow leads to a digression about SciFi rebranding itself as SyFy. Stupidity (and discussion of stupidity) ensues. This also leads to a quick look at the Platinum Dunes remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, which seems to have some potential. And for our second SVR superhero, we introduce Meat-Thing! Those who know hunger burn at Meat-Thing's touch!

We pull this tanker back on topic by briefly looking at the Latin School in Boston and the strange belief that either vampires roam the hall or that some students are themselves vampires. This leads to out little anti-Twilight rant. Listen and enjoy.

On the docket for this week's super-sized double episode:

-Dr. Manhattan, or How I Learned to Love Blue Schlong

-In These Hard Economic Times, We Need to Rely on Entrepreneurs

-All Your Base Are Belong to Rush

Largo starts by marveling at both just how much of the year has rocketed past and the fact that Sanguinist is actually in the house. We then kick into the first movie review of a film that we've all seen since The Dark Knight; Watchmen. Give it a listen and see what we thought. Be warned: we get long winded and full of spoilers. Entertaining, but long winded and full of spoilers. And apologies to Malin Ackerman, whose name Largo mispronounced throughout the segment.

We also run down some of the trailers we saw before Watchmen. Be afraid.

We then move on to a group of youths who decided to act as hitmen for the Mexican drug cartels for fun and profit. This leads to a discussion about how Mexico's government may fall and Sangunist, in his inimitable fashion, offering a solution. We also explore briefly both legalizing marijuana to cut the cartel's profits and black market sales of tax-free cigarettes as a way for our own mobs to make money.

We close out the scheduled topics by exploring the Republican Party's descent into infighting and how that is leading the Democratic Party to fracture in old, predictable ways. We offer some helpful suggestions to both parties to help them reconnect with the average person. We then move into our science corner just briefly by addressing the removal of the Stem Cell ban before Sanguinist reports of the fastest statistical gathering and analysis in history. We then link Jigsaw from Saw and Tupac before moving on to bitching about new standards for education. We close out by discussing the dildo cannon and the materials needed for the ammunition as well as the impossibilities of the Boy's ass.

On this week's show:

-If There Are Free Masons Around, We Have a Basement that Needs to be Built

-Watching the Watchers of the Watchmen

-New Research Indicates that Old Research Is Sticking it to You in New Ways

-Something Fishy This Way Comes (featuring That's Fuckin' Creepy!)

We open by discussing just why the Boy wears his sunglasses at night while he's imitating the creepy old lady from Poltergeist while Sanguinist and Autumn deal with minor earthquakes. We also hit a bunch of other potentially scarring material before even completing our introductions.

Given that the first two topics are from old friend of the show Zael, we give him a shout out before hitting his questions. First up, we get some background information on the Freemasons (interrupted briefly by one of several hiccups in our internet connections) before those of us that actually have an opinion on the organization giving it. We also briefly discuss Largo's first hangover in quite a while and the waterproofing qualities of Treet. We also correct the Boy on his belief that Ben Franklin used to strangle hookers and bury them in his basement. We then speculate on just how well zombies do with exorcism and exercise before giving the Return of the Living Dead series more attention than it deserves. We digress then onto Wall Street excess, what we'd do with $500,000.00 a year, and just what a Cybertronian hooker would transform into before dragging this train back on track with a preview of Watchmen. We try to be as spoiler-free as we can (we save the spoilers for the next episode). Give it a listen and see what you think.

We digress yet again into Stephen Kings opinion of the Twilight series before exploring our limited collective knowledge of the series. And its stupidity.

Autumn brings us back on topic by reviewing how the scientist who did the studies 'proving' that the MMR vaccines caused autism made all of his research up. We then spread the blame for the upcoming fall of humanity further around by looking at MRSA and C.Diff. Largo takes the bad taste out of our mouths by plugging the episode of Family Guy that reunites the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Autumn counters by plugging The Ghost Whisperer. Largo counter-counters by telling Sanguinist that Tales from the Darkside is out on DVD, thus tempting them to spend more money. Sanguinist counter-counter-counters by moving us onto George Romero's ability to teleport Pittsburgh to Canada.

Rounding out the topics, we tell just why the Barrel Fish is just fuckin' creepy before using magnets to screw up the natural homing instincts of crocodiles. Well, okay, we don't actually do it, but we talk about it. Sanguinist then tells us about a rather interesting test that potential Dutch citizens must take. It involves naked women and men kissing other men passionately. Somehow, this leads to a discussion about using drug-tipped Nerf darts as a non-lethal weapon (before Sanguinist turns it lethal, that is.) We back on the fishy topic by telling you just how eating fish might kill you (unfortunately, we couldn't afford to have Sam Neil tell you how.) Listen and prove that our fear mongering works! To balance it out, Sanguinist then tells you have eating fish can save you (or at least the oil in the fish can.)

We close out by examining just how expansive our fanbase is (thanks to all thirty of you :P) before planning again for our 100^th episode extravagansa

On this week's show:

-His Name Was Jason, and He Was a Good Boy

-Bionic Commandos in Electric Hot Pants

-Satellite of Love

-Left for Dead: 3D!

We begin with the Boy being defeated thoroughly by Autobot Hound, Largo being clawed to death by his cat, and a commercial break for Piss Beer. Largo then lodges a formal complaint about his local bar running out of every beer on tap but Miller Light and speculates on just how wet Suzy Snowflake gets when she gets hot. The Boy also plugs a local potato vodka distillery (and wonders just how many other fluids that vodka would have to travel through to get to Sanguinist via the series of tubes that is teh Intarwebs.)

Largo and the Boy get us on to our first topic by giving their review of the revamp of Friday the 13^th. Join us as we armchair analyze the old stuff (including Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street) as well as the new. We also look at the real-world conditions that brought about the wave of '80s Monsters and compare it to today's conditions before exploring some films that tried to make real-life scary. We also put out a plea for a monster for the new millennium.

Sanguinist then takes on an exploration of IBM's potential bionic armor that can speed up a soldier's response time to maybe dodge bullets. We then get back on the horror movie kick by using Jason as both military hardware and as the solution for peace in the Middle East.

Space debris from two colliding satellites that can foul launches for the next little slice of forever is our next topic, and, unsurprisingly, Sanguinist has a solution for the problem.

We close out by talking about the mods some fans have done to make Left for Dead 3D. We also look at other zombie games coming soon to a console near you (as well as God of War III.) And we end once again on the Brown Note.

On the Docket this Week:

- If a butterfly flaps its wings...

- Sanguinist asks for it

- Shamwow can save the world

- Peanut butter jelly time.

 

We start start with a small sample of diseases and American Gladiator. That gets to transitions teams and reassignment in the ancient past. Panda Bears and other forms of entertain round out our early show ramble. Sanguinist starts of the butterfly power topic by using mind control to make the cast sing in their heads. He then goes to state that the new power from the deaths of millions of butterflies. Comments on P.E.T.A. beliefs that some animals are more equal than others. Then the hippos eat them. We round out the topic with animal human hybrids, the mileage you could get, and the need to use rats grow the future. Or so it appears, until we talk about even more crazy, and how science can keep this crazy in population.

Next, we see that Sanguinist is more than a little behind the times. It appears that all the good and great horror movies are and will be remade in these economic times. We all walk around in amazement at how unplugged we were about this. And then we mention that Midnight Meat Train, and then go all the way to Pseudopod, and the rest of the Escape Artists line-up. Then when we talk about how the advertising alternate universe. Then we begin the series of plugs for the rest of the shows. the_boy ends this with an attack by Transformers.

Then we go into the tale of Vince and the Shamwow. This is leads most of the cast to think that shamwow is a necessary and desired. We talk about other cults and some of the worst Transformers of the current age. Battlefield Earth and Waterworld mash-up and some predictions are generated. The octuplet mother and some questions as to which doctors were involved. We link back to mouse and rats from the first topic. Then the cast gets hungry, and distracted.

We finish up the show talking about how you get your bacteria in my peanut butter. It is interesting those additives to improve nutritional content of the peanut butter. A series of hands off laws lead to birds and bugs in your peanut butter, and laboratory shopping. Other interesting bits of food processing and Bill Gates is armed with little blood suckers who are not in marketing. Then we finish our plugs and talk about some editing fun the show. See you next week.

On the show this week:

-The Wrassler

-Wall Street Bone Us

-New Comics Day. Over and Over.

-Trek to Your Local Toy Store

We start the show by wondering just what comic book age Dr. Thunder belongs, and we then speculate on how well Thor could be used to sell strap-ons before we state that, in our humble opinion, The Wrestler lives up to its hype. Listen to hear why we think so (and not just because Marisa Tomei is red hot in it.)

We then give a nod to our listeners, old and new (both of them that we know of), reminisce about The Oozinator, and begin making plans for our 100^th Episode Extravaganza.

We (sorta) get back on topic by pointing out the lack of respect that both comic book and horror movies get. Listen to Sanguinist's rant and be converted.

Getting slightly more serious, we look at the ridiculous amount of bonus cash thrown about on Wall Street for one of the worst years in decades. We also give props to Senator Claire McCaskill for introducing legislation to limit pay for companies taking bailout money. We also look at the shift in leadership in the Republican party and how that impacts their interactions with the Democratic majority. Don't worry, we do manage to sneak some funny in there, particularly by speculating that an evil transporter clone of Bill Shatner's toupee grafted itself to Rod Blagojevich's head.

Largo moves us on to Hourly Comic Day and his efforts to take part. Feel free to give his stuff a look here. This also leads to Largo and Sanguinist riffing on NaNoWriMo and the possibilities of either of them ever finishing it again.

Largo closes us out by giving a preview of the new toys from J.J. Abrams' new Star Trek film. He's particularly pleased by the fact that this line looks to be making affordability a priority.

And we apologize for a short-ish show: our timing was thrown off by technological difficulties. See if you can spot the patented SVR Seamless Edit hidden in this episode!

On the docket this week:

-Our Clever Dragonball Pun (Because We Couldn't Actually Come Up With One)

-The U.S. Just Got a Brazilian

-New Gitmo Prosecutors Selected from Flight Attendants

-A Little Birdie Killed Me

We open by speaking in Shatner, comment on the instability of both your hosts and their houses, and speculate on Soundwave as a Decepticon sex toy. Ultra Magnus also stumps for Cialis.

We then get on topic by discussing the trailer for Dragonball: Evolution. The general consensus seems to be that it might actually be okay, given the cast. We also hop back and state that we might all want to see Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Back on topic, we go back into the cartoon version of Dragonball and offer up our various complaints. This leads to Sanguinist's ranking system for watching his zombie movie collection, mention of the release date for the revamped Friday the 13^th, and we mention that the Watchmen legal battle is finally over. We close this topic out by mentioning that My Name Is Bruce has been released on DVD. Go buy it; Bruce Campbell needs to eat.

Tony the Tiger Bomber and his Sugar Frosted Jihad Flakes sponsors a discussion about how some flight attendants have abused the powers given to them under the Patriot Act. Listen and fear, kids. To lighten the mood, we then bring up how truly multi-purpose SPAM is; it waterproofs, protects against vampire attacks, disrupts angry spirits, proves that there are things from other dimensions, and, in a real pinch, can be eaten.

The show gets interrupted when Largo gets attacked by his Spazmocat, who tries to substitute her ass for the microphone.

We get back on topic by giving props to President Obama for signing the order to close Gitmo and the CIA secret prisons. Sanguinist gives us some cynical advice on what to do with the detainees, and we move on to looking at the stimulus bill and all the crap done to try and win Republican support (and didn't THAT work out so well) before getting massively sidetracked on the merits of Satan's continued employment and the concept of Teddy Roosevelt being sworn in on a stack of titty mags. We get back on topic by giving a look at our favorite bits from Obama's Inaugural Address before getting sidetracked yet again on the fun that is Abstinence Only education (and the angel whose job it is to stamp the paperwork when souls are created. We also create yet another superhero: Superlube!)We close out this topic by looking at the possibility of the U.N. arresting Bush for war crimes.

Sanguinist closes out our scheduled topics by reporting on the number of Bird Flu deaths in China this year so far and how this may KILL US ALL! We also look at how the Bush administration missed the boat on not using the CDC to justify kidnapping. And the Boy closes us out with an old prostitution joke.

On the docket this week:


-Slave to My Addictions

-Transform My Opinion

-Bus Wars

-Emo Doctor


We begin with Stories from the Future! and other rejected stories. We also give back to the community in our own special way with rusty medical equipment and the Yule Log Cenobite. This leads to Sanguinist speculating on just how cool a revamped Hellraiser series might be.

We then give shouts out to both Zael and our German listeners. We are Jelly Donuts. The Boy also sells himself as a green energy source (or a brown one), before he and Largo get into their heating woes.

Largo then offers a small review of FineMolds's Slave-I model kit, mostly 'cause we have very, very little to talk about this week (before digressing onto just how hot Jolene Blalock is, how badly Chinese Democracy sucks, and returning yet again to Horrorfest. We also give Flavor-Aid man a slogan and discuss the silliness that is the Snuggie and the SlapChop. We also introduce the Chocolodytes.)

Largo then continues in hi self-indulgence by talking about how his initial fear and distrust of Transformers Animated has been changed for the positive thanks to Shortpacked!'s David Willis. He focuses specifically on the episode featuring weird Al Yankovic as Wreck-Gar. And, just for balance, we mention that The Batman really sucked, but we haven't had a chance to see The Brave and the Bold just yet.

Sanguinist moves us on to an exploration of England's state of reasonable discourse; using the placards on the sides of buses to debate the existence of God. We try to apply this to American sensibilities (and fail.)

Largo closes out the topics by discussing the negative fan reaction to Matt Smith, the latest actor to take on the role of the Doctor. We implore you, the fans, to not judge him based solely on his appearance (and his hair... dear gods, his hair.) We also speculate on just how this Doctor, approaching the end of his regenerations, is going to act. We also give a quick look at Bruce Campbell's acting philosophy and give a nod to Burn Notice. This somehow leads to an exploration of where and why the original Batman franchise went horribly, horribly awry (and how that applies to Spider-Man.)

We close the show with a promise to look at the Dragonball trailer next show. We also promise that we're not going on hiatus, since we're a free show (and we sound like it.)

On tap this week:

-Another Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

-A History Lesson with Sanguinist

-And You're Worrying About This Now Why?

-Now How Much Would You Pay?

We start out with the Fonz as Death and how Jesus is a reverse zombie (instead of eating the flesh of others, he tells his followers to eat his flesh.)

The Boy starts us off on the topics by retelling a story about some Indiana National Guard troops exposed to a ridiculous amount of the carcinogen featured in Erin Brockovich (that I'm not even going to try to spell) while guarding KBR troops at a water treatment plant in Iraq. This leads to digressions on personal and corporate responsibility, corruptions of power, and dyslexia while reading A Clockwork Orange, cancer clusters, and hand sanitizers allowing only the best and brightest germs and viruses to breed. And the Cadmium Bunny returns. We close this topic by floating the concept of the SVR Primer.

We then get into our history lesson with yet another patented SVR Seamless Edits on the history of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. It's informative and entertaining, as we always strive to be (when we're not talking about zombies and dildoes, that is...) We then get into the bombing of UN schools and why we think this is a bad idea. In a similar vein, we secretly replace Sebastian the crab with Sebastian Bach from Skid Row and reveal that everyone had porn. Get over it.

We move on, then, to the rather ridiculous concern about Third-Hand Smoke, which postulates that the carcinogens and other bad stuff in smoke can be transferred through skin-to-fabric contact. Feel free to laugh, though on the plus side, it seems to murder Russian spies. The Boy shows us just how seriously we take this by then comparing his ass to the Ark of the Covenant and postulating about Sanguinist's future sitcom (it's not CSI: X-Files.)

Sanguinist then shills for home genetic modification! It's real! You can get the necessary stuff on Craig's List and through university auctions. This also lets us run down the different, fun ways that people can die and lets the Boy point out that Animated Darth Maul has Pat Benatar shoulders.

We close out by discussing the Nightmare on Elm Street movies and the revamp of the Friday the 13^th series.

Email us at: svreasonable@gmail.com.  Music used with permission by DJ Lodger.

On the docket this week:

-Du-Du-Du-DAH-Duh, Go Buy Some Shit

-You Bet Your Ash It's Dangerous

-Getting into the Spirit

We begin by totally failing to do a year in review kind of show, and we reveal that we've all been infected with some bizarre Tibetan Death Flu. Then we name some not-ready-for-prime-time aliens from Star Trek.

On to the topic, Autumn runs down a list of retail establishments that'll be closing their doors in the new year. Check the gift cards that you got for X-Mas, kids. We pay close attention to KB Toys, Anne Taylor, Dell's little mall kiosks, and the necessity of DIY stores. We also look at how Iceland's economy is totally screwed.

Largo digresses a bit and talks about his best X-Mas present ever; the new Millennium Falcon. It's bigger than his torso and able to hill him in the night if he were to hang it over his bed.

We get back on topic by mentioning the triumphant return of layaway and the toll that the economy is taking on the plastic surgery industry. Digression then takes over again as we hit Horrorfest again, then technology hates us as the two ends of the show lose each other. Enjoy as the two ends of the show chat at each other in an attempt to reconnect. Sanguinist and the Boy discuss the merits of putting the Boy in a bra as Largo looks on the intarwebs to see if Amusement ever came out. Autumn then stuns the group by revealing that a porn director she took care of once upon a time was a pervert.

Sanguinist drags us back to topicland by detailing the Tennessee Valley Authority ash spill and all the fun stuff contained in said ash (including radiation!) The Boy then creates the Cadmium Bunny and shills for emails by offering a fart in a bag yet again.

We get back on topic by discussing how bankrupting the USSR led to out current infrastructure crisis. Thanks to Regan, Clinton, and both Bushes. Sanguinist then gives us a look at the British Iron Law of Wages. Fun stuff.

Largo closes us out by giving a run down on The Spirit, a bit of a history lesson, and why it's great in that Ed Wood kind of way (and, really, it is just that bad of a movie. Listen to find out why.) We also look at The Day the Earth Stood Still, the remake of Friday the 13^th, and My Bloody Valentine 3D. We also look back at The Mist and The Exorcist. Ah, young Linda Blair and splinters...

On this week's show:

-McCoffee

-Don't Call It a Comeback

-Yeah, but Who Won the Nobel Bitch Prize

-Turn the Page

Autumn starts us off by looking at McDonald's marketing campaign targeting Starbucks drinkers, and the SVR Cast chooses Sheetz Coffee over either option. The Boy tells a heartwarming story of a young DJ Lodger and his cup of coffee before school. The Boy then brings up the Whopper Virgin commercials, which are news to Largo, and Sanguinist pushes for the McLongpork. We also look at Target's line of cheap, single pot booze flavored coffees. We then digress over into the penises of barnacles and whales.

We look then at folks in Petrolia drinking unleaded water, and Autumn asks that you send your boxtops to Oil City. This leads to a discussion about water purification gadgets and drinking booze instead of contaminated water. Sanguinist considers making a whole line of specialty beers for the holidays

Largo vents his spleen about how lacking the special features were on the DVD release of the Dark Knight, and The Boy fuses The Transporter and Transformers before picking on Ewe Boll yet again. This leads to The Boy telling a story about using the Doom engine to make a map of his high school and getting in trouble for it (this was pre-Columbine, kids).

The Boy brings us back on topic by discussing how Dell is offering XP again. For an additional $150 bucks per Microsoft's demands. Way to go, Microsoft. Join us for yet another bitch session about Vista and its marketing machine. This somehow gets us onto Joe the Plumber, Sarah Palin, and cannibalism.

We threaten Zael with a bag of Boy farts if he stops emailing us, then look at the Smelly Package as a wresting move and why Sanguinist doesn't play TV game shows.

We drag ourselves back on topic by running down the winners of the Nobel prize, but not before the Boy derails us onto a videogame and Sanguinist rails against parents who don't vaccinate their children. Join us for some science, damn it! (and anal sex, stupid, pregnant celebrities, degenerating corn, gene therapy, STDs, and the credit crisis, just for flavor. Mmmmm, anal sex flavor. Bleah.)

We close out with Largo's (somewhat limited) eulogies for Bettie Page and Dave Stevens.

On the docket this week:

-Banned in Europe

-Blackwater Down

-A Supremely Good Decision

-Don't Call It a Recession

-Something Vaguely Entertaining

The Boy begins by picking Evil over Good, and Largo gives props to our uncredited host, the Plegm Monster, we discuss doing Tabitha Soren on an AT-AT, we look at attaching The Clapper to a sex toy, and equipping the Armed Forces with dildo launchers in preparation for the upcoming zombie invasion.

The Boy tells us about how an attempt to ban a specific Wikipedia entry ended up banning Europe entirely from editing Wikipedia. And we wonder if you're looking for child porn, is the Wikipedia entry on The Scorpions really gonna be your first stop? We also look back on how Journey's “Separate Ways”, Pat Benatar's “Love is a Battlefield”, and Judas Priest's “Breaking the Law” videos are all works of their respective eras. The Boy also coins the phrase “DeCapriate” while we search for the modern day inheritor of Ed Wood. We then give a loud shout out to Animaniacs (and express a wish that they'd make some new episodes.)

We then get all DIY as we look at the installation of the coal furnace that we installed a few months ago, then we look at Optimus Prime's enemy (and it's not Megatron.)

We get back on topic by being pleasantly surprised that the Blackwater operatives were actually brought to task for the slaughter of innocent Iraqis. We also look at how the Gitmo confessions have become a political hot potato.

Another topic that we make short work of is the Supreme Court's decision not to hear the challenge to Obama's citizenship, which we wholeheartedly support. We welcome Autumn back to the show (and please forgive the small period of tinny sound) as we look at a homegrown nutbar who tried to challenge all of the candidates' citizenships. Sanguinist explores the possibility of Slick Willy running for office again then mentions Stumble Upon's need to give him the same blog over and over while he looks for conservative viewpoints. Autumn then looks at a really, really right wing podcast recorded in a car while Sanguinist covets a set of depleted Uranium dice. Autumn then looks back at a branch campus she attended where one in four students had an STD while largo looks at Batman's utility belt protection for his nads.

We mention that we're in a recession, and Sanguinist states that he's concerned about Keith Olbermann's bosses.

Largo moves us into the entertainment portion of the show by stating that we expected Punisher: War Zone to suck. He wasn't disappointed (though he did like Ray Stevenson as Frank Castle.) Listen to hear his litany of complaints and beware. This leads us also into a discussion of how poorly Darkman has aged. Sanguinist moves us over into a discussion of what Roger Ebert had to say about Expelled, Ben Stein's movie extolling the virtues of Creationism and stating how Evolution leads to the Holocaust. Sanguinist also looks at Gods Concentration Camp, a Christian university that sounds so very, very entertaining. We close out the entertainment session by looking at Valkyrie and why none of us are looking forward to it.

We close the show out by declaring our old friend Hot Rod a true Milkamaniac.

On this week's show:

-I Went to Mumbai and All I Got Was This Lousy Bullet Hole

-The Most Terrifying Movie of the Holiday Season: Black Friday (You'll Jingle All the Way...To HELL!)

-Something Vaguely Random

We start by welcoming Autumn and her pussy back to the show, the Boy starts with a Joe Lieberman imitation, and Largo points out that dead girls don't say no, Obi-Wan is an asshole, and that Lex Luthor really does have a teleporter.

The Boy starts the random off by pointing out that Fallout 3 will soon have a toolkit so that the fans can fix the damned game (as well as a map expansion for the game.) Largo keeps it going by offering both a correction about last week's discussion of Bud Dwyer's suicide as well as some commentary about the video of the suicide itself.

Largo drags the show on topic by discussing how ten men managed to kill over ten times their number in India, and the Boy and Sanguinist explain the shortcomings of the police equipment that let them do it. Sanguinist then lets loose a joke that reincarnates into a series of fart jokes. He also explains just why the sea is India's biggest weak point. We then look at the prospect of war between Pakistan and India and the role that the U.S. may play. We also explore the concept of the Wally-War, where Sam's Club provides the Special Forces, Bray-ey Doo: mystery solving donkey, and prehensile ass cheeks.

Back to the randomness, the Boy and Largo talk about seeing a house show for Smackdown and ECW; crowd interaction, stuff screamed out by the fans, the first Diva match we've seen that didn't suck, and jokes about the Big Show follow.

Largo brings up the horror of Black Friday, reporting on the death of a Wal-Mart employee trampled to death as well as the deaths of two people who engaged in a gun battle in a Toys-R-Us. We somehow digress onto the topic of the G.I. Joe aircraft carrier and how it was the junior status symbol of the '80s boy set. We also bring back up the topic of melamine and how it can screw up the holidays by popping up in chocolate and non-dairy creamers. We also discuss the possibility that the Bible got it wrong and we're all waiting for The Rupture, how Jonestown would have been different with melamine and lead, and old advertising. We also look at William Shatner's career, how the remastered HD DVD sets of Original Trek are still too expensive, and how much fun an HD DVD attachment for a dildo would be. Continuing the randomness, we wonder how Hollywood can possibly update the A-Team as a movie, explore Sanguinist's unreasoning hatred of Airwolf, and look briefly at the new Knight Rider. Autumn then breaks an unwritten rule of SVR by mentioning Paris Hilton on the show. We then get back to Black Friday by mentioning that the Boy decided that Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny wasn't even worth two bucks.

We give yet another shout out to Zael for sending us out another email full of good news.

We close out by forcibly completing the trifecta, and the Boy offers to fart in a bag for those who request it by email.
