The Eh-Vengers: A Review

After a self imposed hiatus (well another baby in the Baulk household to be exact) Stu is BACK and we are on track to start pouring out more shows. First one off the rank, we look at The Avengers - or is it more like The Eh-Vengers? It is to one of us, listen and find out which one of us liked it and which one didn't. And we hand out a life lesson to a particular group of people out there... and it isn't pretty. Enjoy.. and don't hate.

The 'B' Team, Episode 3 - Dolph Lundgren

I.MUST.BREAK.YOU With those words, our subject of this episode managed to carve out a career for himself, that has been going for over 25 years. You would be hard pressed to dislike Dolph Lundgren, and his body of work, that has left film audiences culturally educated and... ah who are we kidding? Dolph Lundgren makes action movies - No Shakespeare here - just action flicks. This is why we appreciate this great big blonde Swedish meatball. And nowadays, him hooking up with Uwe Boll, can only lead to more cinematic joy to come. Viva La Dolph we say. Enjoy

Geeky Thugs at Midnight Oscar Prediction Show!

In a joint venture with The United States of Geekdom and The Film Thugs, Hunter joins Rick Gutierrez and Jim Dirkes for an Oscar prediction special (while Stu is off railing against them, stay tuned for that).  Our conversation gets pretty raunchy, but you can handle it.  Enjoy!

Episode 12 - Who's Better... Who's Best? - Wages of Fear / Sorcerer

ok, so we decided to shift gears a little with this episode. This was an idea Hunter came up with, take an original film and compare to it's remake and go from there. In this episode we look at the original French classic 'Wages of Fear' and compare it along side it's 70's remake 'Sorcerer'. Here's how it went down. Enjoy

The 'B' Team, Episode 2 - Steven Seagal

CRUNCH - SNAP - ARRGGGHHH. Those are usually the succession of sounds you hear in a film by our subject for Episode 2 of The 'B' Team. In this episode we talk all things about the Action Lama himself, Steven Seagal. His movies, his music, his fashion sense, Lawman and of course his higher power as a confirmed buddhist Tulku. We are, as always with these episodes, joined by the incomparable Andrew Farmer from The United States of Geekdom for a look at the man who took bone crunching to a whole new level.

Episode 11 - Rambo: Bullets and Body Parts

"Back there I could fly a gunship, I could drive a tank, I was in charge of million dollar equipment. Back here I can't even hold a job".... those of you who know what Rambo says next, you are a lot smarter than Stu who for nearly 20 years thought he said something very very different. Welcome all to our RAMBO episode, We have had this show idea on the back burner for over a year now but never quite got around to doing it... until now. Here we discuss all the RAMBO films and the animated series also. Please note, this is NOT a 'B' Team episode, but we are however fortunate enough to be joined by his royal awesomeness Andrew Farmer. Enjoy P.S - Due to a minor technical glitch, Stu's voice is slightly echo-y on some parts of the show, this problem has been rectified so as not to occur again on future episodes.

The 'B' Team, Episode 1 - Jean-Claude Van Damme

Welcome all to our first show of 2012. Here we have decided to do something different, we set about doing a 4 part series on action stars who have fallen a few rungs down the quality ladder. Subject no. 1 - Jean-Claude Van Damme. Here Hunter and Stu are joined by the one person we knew we had to have on this series of shows, so we are thrilled to be joined by our very good friend Andrew Farmer of The United States of Geekdom We discuss the career highlights, and low-lights of Mr. Van Damme. Sit back, relax and listen as we talk all things JCVD. From his insane desire to do the splits in every film, to dancing with a boner, and of course to his myriad of work. Enjoy The Guys

Episode 10 - The Apes Of Wrath

"Take your stinking paws off me you damn dirty ape". So goes the classic line by Charlton Heston in one of cinemas most beloved sci-fi films (and series of films for that matter) 'Planet of the Apes'. In this episode we talk all thing Apes - the films, television series - live action and animated, books and for you 'Ape' novices, we even answer your home video collection question - which version do I go for? Sit back, relax with us as we talk and express our love for 'The Planet of the Apes' - Enjoy.

Hi all, well here is the final of the recordings done with Hunter and Stu together in the Memphis wing of the Midnight Movie Cowboys studio. In this episode we talk about all things Elvis. His career in Hollywood and the influence he has had as a popular culture icon. Enjoy, thanks for listening.

Guilty Pleasure challenge no. 1 - Dragonball Evolution.

Making good from a little while back, Stu finally decided it was time to watch DRAGONBALL EVOLUTION and review it. Instead though of reviewing it, both of us sat down while Stu was in Memphis and decided to do an audio commentary for it instead. This was tough going, although only 80 mins it was a bitch to get through, listen to this and hear exactly our thoughts on this hot mess. Please note* If you wish to sync up with us, you will need the REGION 1 DVD of this title, if not then go ahead and enjoy listening to it anyway. Enjoy

Interview with Film Producer Ryan Watt

Here is an interview that was conducted while Stu was holidaying in Memphis. In this episode Stu and Hunter interview film producer Ryan Watt of Paper Moon Films ('Open Five' and the upcoming 'The Romance of Loneliness') on how he got into the business, how you can get into it and of course the films he and his production company have been a part of. A big thank you to Ryan for being gracious enough to allow time out of his very busy schedule, to allow us to interview him. Enjoy

Thor: Never Let Down Your Asgard

So after snagging some big burgers from Burly's here in Memphis, Stu and I decided to do a spur-the-moment recording on the movie Thor since we both caught it in the theaters recently.  The recording was done over beer and burgers, so it's a bit laid back. Stuart had been apprehensive about Chris Hemsworth starring in in the titular role because Stu had the misfortune of being subjected to this image on Australian television.  Every.  Single. Day.

Granted, this is a complaint coming from a man who enjoys watching Steve Gutenberg rollerskate down the streets of New York in hot pants to music by the village people.  But whatever.  Enjoy folks!

Chuck's Favorite Hat: Forced Vengeance Commentary

Stu is here in the wetlands of Memphis, and we recorded the first of four planned shows during Stu's stay here.  It seemed high time for us to record a commentary over one of the films of Mr. Carlos "Chuck" Norris.  We elected to his Hong Kong action movie Forced Vengeance, where bad guys keep stepping on Chuck's favorite hat, the bastards.  So grab a copy of the movie (on region 1 DVD for syncing purposes) and watch this thing with us! -Hunter

Episode 6 - Wayan in on Hollywood

Here it is everybody, episode 6. here the guys have a nice and relaxed episode discussing the comedy and career of The Wayans Brothers. We decided to go fast and loose with this one, and just have some fun. Enjoy

You don't have to have seen these films to enjoy this show, so dive in.

Episode 1 - The Overlook(ed) Hotel: Profiles in Obscurity

Well, here it is everybody, Episode 1!  It's a little thing we like to call 'The Overlook(ed) Hotel: Profiles in Obscurity'.  For this episode, as you may know, we decided to be a bit more loose and not so diligent with audio grabs and music, mainly due to time constraints.  We will, however, be returning back to our normal format as of Episode 2 onwards.  For now, this episode is a bit more free-form, but we had fun making it, and we hope you have fun listening to it.  Who knows, there may be a title or two in there that you'll wanna track down and it'll become something you will start shouting about to your friends.
