We’re rated X, not that NC-17 crap. Episode 5

Podcast IconIn this episode Jason relates fond childhood memories of watching R-rated movies with his dad while Chuck comes clean about his fear of the deep end (and dark basements). As Jason stalls for time, Chuck finds out why Angels are just plain badass and the Highlander training movie “Accidental Quickenings and you” is discovered.

The first installment of the iconogeek summer movie countdown begins with this episode as Jason and Chuck discuss March’s offerings. First up is 10,000 BC and why they just don’t make cavemen movies like they used to. In yet another tangent, Jason and Chuck ponder “Is Jason Statham the newest action hero – the heir to Stallone and Arnold?” and try to discover the difference between action heroes of yesterday and today
Chuck wants to know why there are no yuppies in future maximum security detention cities such as Doomsday; Keyser Soze goes to Vegas; and Ross makes a movie about a fat boy.

Pardon our appearance…

The latest WordPress update didn’t play nice with our old theme (hacked together quickly , I admit). So, as we remodel the site and tweak some code, we’ve replaced our beloved smoke with a quick – content focused theme. Hang tight as we get our design on.

Thanks,
