I'm debating whether or not I want to participate in the Nov. Poem A Day Challenge that starts tomorrow. The last time I did it (last April) I wasn't in school and I think I might be a bit too busy with that to bang out a new piece every day for a month. On the other hand, I really love doing it and could always use more material. I'll probably give into temptation and do it. LOL
For anyone who's interested in trying it here's the link.
Zombie Take-Out Episode 16: Have a Heart is now online.
Scotto and Uncle John pull out the big guns as they muse about the MPAA’s ratings criteria and dicuss a film that features a stand out performance from a relative unknown, a surprisingly good performance from a well known action star, a brilliant actor in an all too small supporting role … oh and Kim Catrall. This week on Zombie Take-Out it’s 1992’s Split Second. Did they really rip off two Schwarzenegger movies at the same time? Why didn’t PETA boycott this mnovie? Who wears a trech coat in a flooded, global warming induced eternal night?
Scotto and Uncle John take on their first Troma film. A film about a character who Lloyd Kaufman has referred to as Troma’s Mickey Mouse. This week it’s the one, the only, the original … from 1984 it’s The Toxic Avenger. Will it live up to the hype? Does it still … wait, what was I saying?
I've been working on this one little by little over the course of a month or so and it's finally done (the point may have meandered a bit over time lol). And yes, for those who might catch it, I did borrow a bit of the first couplet from Bad Religion.
Old habits die slowly,
never resting in peace,
Clinging to the familiar,
but all things must cease.
Wraiths of the past
come to take what was theirs.
Time claims to heal all,
yet too slowly repairs
all the wounds that say more
than we could ever tell,
but the scars that still plague us
define us as well.
All the fragments of flashbacks
and steps to retrace.
Just pieces of puzzles
to fit into place.
Zombie Take-Out Episode 9: And Samuel L. Jackson as Neville Chamberlain is now online
Uncle John plays armchair herpetologist while Scotto wonders about aviation architecture as they review their most recent film to date, Snakes on a Plane. Will Scotto bring up Troll 2 … again? Will Uncle John ever be able to get his Nevilles straight? Did they pick the wrong week to stop sniffing glue? Stairs on a plane?
Most of you probably won't care about this (no need to comment if that applies to you), but a few of you might have noticed that my nsfws recently disappeared. That is because I moved them to a second account so that they wouldn't be associated with my real name. Here's the link:
Feel free to send an add request if you'd like. :D
Zombie Take-Out Episode 7: Zombie Take-Out Goes to Nilbog is now online
Scotto and Uncle John change plans and interrupt their exploration into the Roddy Piper oeuvre to take advantage of a rare opportunity to discuss what many have called the worst movie of all time. Some have even called it the best worst movie. This week … Troll 2. Does it live up to its reputation? Will it scar Scotto for life? Listen and find out. I don’t know.
Zombie Take-Out Episode 6: Put On The Glasses is now online
The first of our two part series focusing on the work of a seminal b-movie icon who isn’t a professional actor … or even really an actor at all.This week, we delve into the Roddy Piper oeuvre with a discussion of They Live. What’s wrong, baby?
I'm finally done with that horrible class (and school in general) for three weeks. Well, sort of ... I'll be doing tutorials on Flash, CSS and Perl over the break. What can I say, I'm a workaholic. LOL
Scotto and Uncle John experience an awkward and slightly uncomfortable reversal of roles as they say a lot about a man who says nothing at all and discuss a groundbreaking and highly influential film that should be far better known than it is (no, you don’t have the wrong podcast, this is Zombie Take-Out). This week it’s The Brother from Another Planet. ….
