-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.
