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.
