The people, They Like the Tom Cruise
Sunday Mar 31, 2013
Sunday Mar 31, 2013
You got your actors, then you got your movie stars.
Actors are all over the place. You recognize them, you follow their work, hell, you may even watch some movies just because of them.
But they aren't movie stars.
A movie star is something different. Movie stars are people like Jimmy Stewart, Elizabeth Taylor, Carey Grant, Lauren Bacall, Catherine Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn... those are movie stars.
There's always an air of... almost otherworldliness about them.
Their movies are always a big deal just because they are in them, and they make a lot, A LOT of money.
So, is Tom Cruise an actor or a moviestar? I'll give you a spoiler, if you don't think he's a movie star... you're trying to prove something.
This week we discuss mister Cruise in an effort to see what the big damned deal is.
Also, we are trying to have a new weekly segment that requires your assistance. Call our Google Voice number at (512) 666-RANT (7268) and leave a message about your worst experience in a theater. That message will be transformed into comic GOLD by the power of Google Voice's text preview, voice recognition translation. Listen to this and last weeks show and you will see what we mean.
And we are still raising money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association on behalf of our little buddy Amadeo Andrade who was diagnosed with Becker Muscular Dystrophy in 2008. Last year, as a team, we raised $23,800 in support of Amadeo for MDA! This year our team goal is $25,000. We will be raising money until February of 2013. Anything will help and be appreciated, and remember all donations are tax deductible!
This year we are Amadeo's ARMY. Not team. Not club. Not group. ARMY! So lets show a great kid just how bad ass Thug fans are.

I'm Still the A-Hole: Episode 6 Redux
Sunday Mar 24, 2013
Sunday Mar 24, 2013
Man, we have been doing this a long damned time. How long? Long enough that we can safely go back and revisit our old shows. Honestly, I must be getting old as hell because recording this original episode seems far more recent than 3 years ago, but here we are.
Episode 6 (from back in a time when we actually numbered the damned things) was simply called "I'm the Asshole," and it was a look at movies and directors and stars that, though popular, we just don't get. This isn't an "I'm right and you're wrong!" thing. This is an "I know these are good. I know that people like them for a good reason... I just don't like it. I'm the bad guy here," type thing.
I'll be honest, this weeks show has everything. It has a readers theater, a clip from Episode 6, and a came by Johnny Cash. What more could you people want.
Enjoy, and be sure to check the sidebar of this page for our new sponsors Hulu plus, Vimeo, and the Warner Brothers Store. You can get all kinds of cool shit and help the show. You literally cannot lose!

Geek Like Me, or The Nerdish Mystique
Sunday Mar 17, 2013
Sunday Mar 17, 2013
There has been a fundamental paradigm shift
in recent years. You see, once upon a time being a "geek" or a "nerd" was an entirely bad thing. It was just awful.
You didn't have friends, you were obsessed with stupid stuff that no normal person cares about, you were a misfit.
Then...
Suddenly...
From out of nowhere...
Everything that made "geeks" "geeky" became... kind of ok.
It all went from being relegated to comic book stores, obscure shelves in the corner of your local video stores, and poorly attended conventions to acceptable and, dare I say, mainstream.
This week we take a look at what it means to be a geek today and how we got there.
Also, we are trying to have a new weekly segment that requires your assistance. Call our Google Voice number at (512) 666-RANT (7268) and leave a message about your worst experience in a theater.

We will have no idea what your questions are until we read them on the show. Do you want you want to know how quick Jim and Clarkson came come up with some bullshit? Sure you do!

Señor Ding Dong's Tagline Fiesta
Sunday Mar 10, 2013
Sunday Mar 10, 2013
In keeping with the spirit of this episode I will try to write this entire thing in taglines.
Two friends.
Two microphones.
Endless possibilities.
They saw the words that sell the films we love.
A comic masterpiece for the ages.
Only you can hear...

Tom Hanks ruled the 80's and 90's with an iron fist.

Sunday Mar 03, 2013
There might be actors some people associate with the 80's and 90's more than Tom Hanks, but there are very few people he wouldn't enter the conversation for. This week we take a look at the guy who represents the films of our childhoods like nobody else.
