Chuck and Jay are back from sick leave and raring to get into a lively discussion about Indiana Jones (as promised), unfortunately tangents take over as Chuck waxes nostalgic about Frank Zappa, why 8-tracks suck and Sony’s proprietary formats do as well. Jay convinces Chuck NOT to buy Blue-Ray…yet, and to get off his ass and get a flat screen already (because after all, it’s for the kids), then wraps with an LCD vs Plasma debate.
Chuck and Jay then discuss the new Max Payne movie, NBC’s new fall schedule, the Love Boat, and the release date of Crystal Skull – then promptly run out of time. Next week Indy, we promise, we hope.
The tangents fly in this episode as Chuck continues his quest for the most expensive family entertainment and learns why the Directors’ Hall isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Jason defends Goobers’ honor and agrees that 10,000 BC is indeed the worst caveman movie ever made.
The countdown to summer movies continues with Ironman, and the new batch of excellent actors making superhero flicks; Speed Racer is up next and its saturated nostalgic goodness; followed by the unthreatening Narnia franchise as Jason and Chuck throw more love Frodo’s way.
Erin Go Braugh and welcome to the first annual St Patty’s Day iconogeek podcast. This episode Jason visits Bob’s discount circus while Chuck experiences the real deal and spends way too much for cotton candy. A discussion about lightsaber duals in the nude and Jason tries to explain why he feels Doomsday is the height of entertainment. Chuck expounds on his love for coffee and why a $15,000 coffee maker may be a good investment as Jay delivers the lowdown on the new DVDs this week especially the extended version of “I am Legend.”
While Chuck and Jason plea for Christian Bale to call into the show, the summer movie countdown continues with Street Kings, 88 Minutes, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, The Forbidden Kingdom, and the best movie of April: Harold and Kumar 2. Links:
In 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.
