07.01.07 by Widge @ 11:34 pm  Sloshing through the swamp of pop culture so you don't have to. We bring you ideas for how to waste your weekend. Tried to get this up yesterday, I know, I said so in the recording, but that's what I get for thinking. Of course, special thanks go out to Clutch for letting me use their absolutely badass song, "Promoter (of earthbound causes)" as my theme music for this. Buy Blast Tyrant, which is where you can find "Promoter". Buy their latest album, Pitchforks and Lost Needles. Send them love and coin. BTW, you iTunes subscriber types can nab this feed here. Or if you want to do something else with it, the feed feed is here. Like the podcast? Tell us about it. Fill out a PodTrac Survey today. The Baby Jesus would want you to.

07.01.07 by Widge @ 6:52 am  So I was curious about what you fine folks are ordering from Amazon through the site. Because we have a really wacky demographic, hitting all kinds of ages and locations and whatnot. When I try to describe you, our readers, to various studios and such when they're deciding what stuff to send us to cover, they're a bit confused. But aren't we all? Anyway, so looking back over the last six months, here's the top five things you guys have ordered, listed here for your dancing and dining pleasure. #5. Heroes Season 1. As I've said before, you guys are mad for Heroes. And these are just pre-orders! Maybe when it hits on DVD (next month) I'll be able to actually watch the thing on my own time, but it's fairly obvious that the comic geeks among you crave the stuff.

06.24.07 by Bob the Zombie @ 2:54 pm  Oh no, not another 1980s-teen-drama-action- space-invader-that-drives-a-racecar-but-is-the-real-hero-movie! The trick to watching this cult classic wannabe is not to. But if you like having that good old friendly upchuck feeling at the back of your throat on occasion and you don't do porn, then The Wraith is upchucktastic! The Cover says it all friends. Staring Charlie Sheen, Randy Quaid, Sherilyn Fenn (hot), and Nick Cassavetes. With Music Performed by Ozzy Osborne, Billy Idol, and Robert Palmer. Are you pumped yet? Categorized as: DVD and Reviews

06.24.07 by Widge @ 6:29 am  Okay, I had Doc tie a rope around my waist so I could be yanked out if I went too far into the swag closet and got lost. Well, I came back out again clutching the following: yes, it's a copy of The Greatest American Hero on DVD. The whole shebang, in a limited edition collectible tin. $100 value. Nice. Okay, this has the whole series in it, as well as a replica-thing of the instruction manual (it doesn't have a lot of pages, but it does light up, so it's a tradeoff), a cape, and a decal. William Katt, Robert Culp, Connie Sellecca...show created by Stephen J. Cannell, who by law had to create 75% of the series during the 80s. So if you're a fan, you want this. How to win? Enter. You can even enter once a day. We're easy. Proceed. Categorized as: Contests and DVD and TV

06.20.07 by ScottC @ 6:27 pm   Beastmaster: Special Edition. Dar (Marc Singer) seems like your typical barbarian hero: loincloth, broadsword, muscular physique. But no one who was born out of a cow is going to be typical. The evil priest Maax (Rip Torn) magically transported the baby Dar out of his mother's womb into the aforementioned bovine to stop some sort of prophecy. But a kindly hunter put a stop to that shit and raises the baby as his own. So Dar grows up to be a warrior Dr. Doolittle, speaking to the animals. So Dar along with two ferrets, an eagle, a panther, and an actual human girl named Kiri (Tonya Roberts) is going to kick some lawful evil cleric ass. Anchor Bay has added some new special features to this sword and sorcery flick. There's a new documentary, The Saga of the Beastmaster, which gives a comprehensive overview of the film. You also get a commentary from the production team, Don Coscarelli and Paul Pepperman, along which some decent talent biographies and photo galleries. A definite buy for those into Conan type fantasy. (Buy it from Amazon.) Categorized as: DVD and Headsup
