Episodes
1. RC_025: Comedies (and Erik's 2001 Rant) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 31.59Mb) Description: Given the state of the world these days, we figured now's the perfect time to recommend some good comedies. Ren, Morgan, Andrew, and Erik pick several comedies ranging from 80's to now, from slapstick to witty, and from crude to clean. And if you act now, we'll even throw in a bonus rant! Yes, Erik has finally seen the overrated atrocity that is 2001: A Space Odyssey. He swears he'll never complain about pacing in a film again (though we all know that's not true). His is a story of tragedy and pain, but those around him find it highly entertaining.
2. RC_024: Minutegate http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 26.60Mb) Description: Is it fair to review a film of which you've only seen eight minutes? That's exactly what Roger Ebert did. For only the second time in his long career, he's walked out of a movie. He then wrote a review in which, at the end, he reveals he was only reviewing the first eight minutes of the film. This has now apparently been dubbed "Minutegate." Was it ethical? Was it fair? That's what we're going to discuss in this week's show, hosted by Erik, Andrew, and special guest Morgan (from The (Hide and) Seeker). Speaking of fair, we'll also be discussing Terrance Stamp's removal from Iron Man 2, to be replaced by Don Cheadle. (please forgive the audio quality; the local recording on Andrew & Morgan's side was having problems, and we ended up using the Skype feed)
3. RC_023: Top Five Horror Films http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 26.49Mb) Description: Horror can be a difficult genre to define. For some, it means blood and guts. For others, it means psychological terror. For the Apple iTunes store, it apparently means films like Hard Candy (great movie, but not what I'd call "horror"). For the purposes of this show, we're defining "horror" as... well, basically whatever we want. We're including slasher films, thrillers, creepy films... Basically anything we'd want to watch on Halloween late at night with the lights out. You know... after those darn kids stop interrupting you every five minutes with the doorbell. So check out Andrew, Erik, and Ren's top five favorite horror films!
4. RC_022: Fall TV Review http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 37.72Mb) Description: Been wondering what shows are worth keeping up with? Then check out our Fall Television Review (and preview, in some cases), featuring our very special guest host, Miranda from the Firefly Talk, The Signal, and The 9th podcasts! (Note: This was recorded last weekend, but we decided to spread the shows out a bit, since last week's episode was released late) Show Notes: Guest Host: Miranda from the Firefly Talk, The Signal, and The 9th podcasts. Felicia Day mystery solved... or is it? Do Not Disturb -- canceled already? (EDIT: I know it was Jerry O'Connell and not Jason Bateman.. I don't know what I was thinking.) Knight Rider premiere ratings down from February's pilot movie, even though the premiere was infinitely better Hole in the Wall (worst game show ever?) Fringe (tangent: Brian doesn't watch TV unless it's online) Sons of Anarchy Primeval (tangent: Conventions) Sanctuary My Own Worst Enemy Heroes Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles The Office Chuck Bones (warning: season 3 finale spoiler) Dollhouse (warning: Serenity spoiler and Buffy Season 6 spoiler) (tangent: more Firefly/Serenity content on the horizon?> (tangent: Dr. Horrible) (tangent: Kentucky) Dollhouse (for real this time) (tangent: Fox canceling shows; Dark Angel) Battlestar Galactica, Lost, Scrubs 24 Reaper
5. RC_021: We Want Adaptations! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 33.07Mb) Description: Sorry for the delay. We've had some medical issues going on (listen to the show for more info), so we had to take a week off. But we're back, and we want adaptations! Well, we want some adaptations. In this week's show, Brian, Andrew and Erik look at existing material (books, comics, games, etc.) that we'd like to see in film or television.
6. RC_020: Why Watch the Watchmen? http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 40.06Mb) Description: This week on RandomChatter: Week in Review: Dedication to Don LaFontaine Drew Struzan is retiring Andrew's new movie, The (Hide and) Seeker NOT all press is good press (Erik's rant about the Seinfeld/Microsoft commercial) Andrew's quick review of Bangkok Dangerous Does Felicia Day listen to our show? News: NBC won't let Scrubs guest actors appear on ABC's Scrubs series finale Ghostbusters 3 finally moving forward Hulu airs NBC shows a week before they air *Feature: Can Watchmen* be a good movie?** Plug for Trade Talks, a great graphic novel review site. Is the graphic novel really that good? Would it be that difficult to adapt? What is it that would compel people to wach this? Can they fit everything into a single film? What will they cut? Can Zack Snyder (300) pull it off? What's up with the lawsuit?
7. RC_019: What's Wrong with Foreign Films? http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 22.24Mb) Description: It's just Andrew and Erik this time around, as we look at why foreign films are often overlooked in the U.S. But first, we look at the possible return of The Muppet Show! Films mentioned in this episode, including IMDB and Netflix links: Kung Pow, Enter the Fist* (IMDB) (Netflix) Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (IMDB) (Netflix) Pan's Labyrinth (IMDB) (Netflix) The Experiment (IMDB) (Netflix) Oldboy (IMDB) (Netflix) Amelie (IMDB) (Netflix) A Very Long Engagement (IMDB) (Netflix) Supercop (IMDB) (Netflix) Rumble in the Bronx (IMDB) (Netflix) Black Mask (IMDB) (Netflix) Legend of the Drunken Master (IMDB) Flash Point (IMDB) (Netflix) Kill Zone (a.k.a. "SPL") (IMDB) (Kill Zone) CJ7 (IMDB) (Netflix) Kung Fu Hustle (IMDB) (Netflix Shaolin Soccer (IMDB) (Netflix) Downfall (IMDB) (Netflix) *this is not a foreign film
8. RC_018: Not Your Average Vader http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 20.96Mb) Description: Andrew finally got to see Clone Wars (poor guy!), so we discuss that a bit, then Brian explains how the Darth Vader from Empire Strikes Back wasn't really the vision Lucas had for Vader at all. Then, after some quick news, we address the rumors about iTunes getting a subscription model for music and whether that would actually be a good thing. Show Notes: Andrew's thoughts on Clone Wars Empire's Vader was an anomaly (and all the Ewoks are dead!) Superman Reboots Fox sues WB over Watchmen, seeks injunction preventing release Wheel of Time coming to the big screen Would you pay a subscription fee for unlimited music?
9. RC_017: Star Wars vs. Star Wars http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 36.06Mb) Description: With the release of Clone Wars this past weekend, I figured this would be the last time Star Wars would be relevant for a long time. And who doesn't love talking about Star Wars? So this week I'm joined by Andrew, Brian, and Nathan (from Flickchart.com) as we pit the Prequel and Classic trilogies against each other, and we look at other directors and ask "what if someone else had done the Prequels?" Show Notes: Listener Question: Do I watch movies too passively? How was Clone Wars? Were the Prequels really that bad? Comparing the Prequels to the Classic trilogy Prequels needed new characters we could care about Watching the Classic Trilogy "now" versus "then": Vader's weak Story in Prequels wasn't evenly distributed across the three films Simple ending change to Episode III would have held plot twists to Classic Trilogy for future generations What if someone else had done the Prequels? Speilberg, Whedon, Fincher, Snyder, Smith, etc. Why the Classic Trilogy works: We're following the underdogs.
10. RC_016: ComicCon Coverage http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 20.86Mb) Description: Special thanks to Joe from Trailer Trash Talk for joining us! This week on RandomChatter: Brian sees Dark Knight... and doesn't understand what all the fuss is about Erik sees Bruce & Lloyd: Out of Control and The Fountain Dark Knight breaks more records X-Files opens in fourth, loses to second week of Abba musical (ouch!) Zack and Miri Make a Porno (not safe for work!) Rocky Horror Picture Show getting a remake RoboAronofsky! Woohoo! Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse" gets a new pilot Any chance of a Dr. Horrible series? This just in! Lucas doing all Star Wars films in 3D! (and by "just in", I mean it was announced in 2005) There's a new Star Wars movie this year (click here for footage), and nobody cares (props to Wes from Trailer Trash Talk) TR2N footage actually looks good, despite the bad-quality clip Wolverine footage Lost: Cool stuff, but nothing profound or as good as last year Heroes: Will season three make the show good again? DVD Picks: Six Degrees of Separation (Andrew), Regenesis (Brian), 21, Equilibrium, Gattaca (Joe, Joe, & Joe), Veronica Mars (Erik)
11. RC_015: More Horrible, Please! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 30.14Mb) Description: This week on RandomChatter: Personal Recap: Brian didn't see Dark Knight; Ren & Erik get new Apple stuff; Erik walks a mile for Dark Knight parking Camping Out for Tickets: R.I.P. RandomChatter updates: iPhone skin, Blogging, Forums Dark Knight breaking records Insane eBay prices for Dark Knight in IMAX ($100+) This just in! No new news on non-strike! JMS: "No more B5 content unless it's a feature film." Trailer: S pirit Trailer: Watchmen Trailer: Twilight Trailer: 24: Exile Trailer: Outlander Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog! Go get it! (Check out The Guild too!) Josh Brolin and crew of "W" arrested at bar "Lost" news this week "Wicked" being made as feature film Joel Silver + Wachowskis + Keanu Reeves = Plastic-Man! DVD Picks: Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Brian & Andrew), The Bank Job (Ren), and Dark City (Erik) [Update: Dark City director's cut due in late July]
12. RC_014: Pi in the Sky http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 26.79Mb) Description: More "non-news" about the possible actors' strike. Warner Brothers talks to D.C. about future superhero flicks. Robert Downey Jr. moves to Baker Street. In-flight movies get left at the gate. Robocop might be getting a very interesting director. A certain Pet Detective spawns an offspring. Andrew tries to convince Erik that "Pi" isn't the worst movie in cinematic history. All this and more!
13. RC_013: The Non-Strike http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 22.63Mb) Description: Are we in a de facto strike, regardless of whether SAG votes for it? That's how it's being reported. We talk about this, plus Christian Bale dissing Robin, Netflix bringing back its profiles, and some Sherlock Holmes casting news that must have the good Sir Arthur Conan Doyle rolling in his grace. We also introduce our new "DVD Pick of the Week" segment.
14. RC_012: FlickChart http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 28.98Mb) Description: If Titanic is five stars, E.T. is five stars, and Braveheart is five stars, which is the best film? FlickChart helps solve that issue by giving you two movies at a time to choose from, then compiling an overall ranking based on your selections. But that's just the start. Site creators Jeremy and Nathan join us to discuss what the site is, why they created it, and where it's going in the future.
15. RC_011: Welcome Back http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 31.87Mb) Description: We're back! We're caught up with MovieChatter, and now the RandomChatter shows are back too. In this episode, Ren & Erik talk briefly about the honeymoon, and then they and Andrew go over news from the last few weeks, including yet more remake announcements!
16. RC_010: Leave My 80's Alone! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 18.56Mb) Description: Hollywood has been remaking everything under the sun recently. So this week we look at the few things they haven't touched yet, focusing specifically on 80's movies. Do we really want a Goonies sequel? What about a Fletch remake? Should everything be left alone, or are there films that are okay to work on further?
17. RC_009: Attack of the Remakes http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 40.85Mb) Description: When Hollywood says they're so desperate for content that they're remaking the likes of Short Circuit and Adventures in Babysitting, that's really scraping the bottom of the barrel. This week we look at past remakes, at what makes a good remake, and at the flood of remakes to come.
18. RC_008: Talkin' Trailers http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 31.59Mb) Description: As you've noticed, it's that time of year again for the flood of summer movie trailers. But can you really judge a book by its cover -- or in this case, a movie by its trailer? To find out, we've invited Joe () back to the show. Do trailers show all the good parts of the movie? Do they spoil too much? Do they mislead you? Let's talk trailers!
19. RC_007: Second Skin http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 47.02Mb) Description: This week we've got guest host Eric Fullerton joining us as we talk about how online gaming affects our "real" lives, as inspired by the documentary Second Skin, which just debuted at SXSW.
20. RC_006: Summer Movie Preview http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 63.39Mb) Description: In this week's show, Brian and I wade through the sludge of recently-announced remakes and sequels, and we finally get to our Summer Movie Preview! Technically we cover both the spring and the summer, but let's not nit-pick. There are a lot of (hopefully) great movies coming out this year, even aside from the obvious choices such as The Dark Knight and Iron Man. We're bringing you a quick run-down of what to expect.
21. RC_005: A Cage Full of Tangents http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 59.05Mb) Description: This is why you don't podcast at 2 a.m. Of course, maybe that actually helped the show! We've got all four hosts on this week's news show, and boy do they ramble on. They blathered for long enough that we had to push the Summer Movie Preview segment to next week's show (none of this rambling was my fault, of course).
22. RC_004: And the award goes to... who cares? http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 44.67Mb) Description: That's right, it's Oscar time. This week, after looking at a handful of news items (Deadpool!), we discuss the Oscars. No, we're not going to recap the Oscars. Instead, we're mainly going to complain about Cameron Diaz, talk about how grateful we are that Sean Penn was nowhere to be seen, and be bitter that Golden Compass allegedly had better effects than Transformers.
23. RC_003: Jumper http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 51.18Mb) Description: It's Anakin Skywalker versus Mace Windu in one last, final, knock-out brawl! Final, that is, until the inevitable sequel they set up in the film. Oh, and there's not really any knock-out. Or even a brawl, really. I dare say our review of the movie was more interesting than the movie itself. If nothing else, it was more fun to record than it was to see the movie. But before we get to that, there's news to cover. After all, now that the writer's strike is over, we need to know when our favorite shows are coming back!
24. RC_002: Spoiler-Free, for Wes http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 46.29Mb) Description: We've been "under construction" a bit here, so it's been a few weeks since we've had a show posted. However, we're back on track now, with a new website we'll be tweaking out over the next week, and two new shows to post. First up, we recap the entertainment news from the past week. Err... last week, in this case, but it's all still relevant. And as a favor to Wes, one of our fellow podcasters over at the Control Point podcast, we've gone spoiler-free for this episode! Show Notes: 00:16 - I swear it's Brian's fault... 00:42 - Box Office Results 03:54 - Status of Ledger's projects 07:47 - Freddy's Back! 11:22 - New Star Wars theatrical release...? 13:54 - Arrested Development theatrical release...? 14:55 - Teaser for the new M. Night Shyamalamadingdong film, The Happening 17:11 - Go watch the trailer for Hancock 18:03 - Peter Jackson doing The Hobbit... but so is Del Toro. 19:53 - Recap of G.I. Joe casting 24:25 - MPAA: "Oops, we're stupid." 32:03 - More on the writer's strike 38:38 - Tangents: Hulu, MyVu, Apple TV, video iPods 42:34 - Studios producing fewer pilots in future, regardless of strike
25. RC_001: Cloverfield http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 47.79Mb) Description: Technically, this review contains spoilers. However, they're so minor I seriously doubt they'd affect anyone's enjoyment of this movie. Especially not to people like Jeff, who's more concerned about the fact that the movie didn't explain anything about the monster. Or to people like Ren, who felt the monster was merely a victim and misunderstood. For normal people like Brian and I, the movie was great. Show Notes * 00:15 - Brian skips his usual obnoxious intro * 00:20 - We're back! * 02:02 - "If you haven't seen the movie yet.... don't?" * 09:30 - Spoilers start here, but there's not much to spoil * 14:07 - Comparisons to The Blair Witch Project * 18:19 - Comparisons to 9/11 * 21:29 - Was J.J. Abrams trying to say anything with this film? * 23:50 - Comments on the actors and characters * 28:15 - Pacing problems permeating the prologue * 33:46 - Jeff is "very much a closure-guy," just so you know. * 36:51 - Brian's Final Thoughts: Jeff is also entitled to be as wrong as he is. * 39:09 - Ren's Final Thoughts: The monster was cheated. * 45:17 - Jeff's Final Thoughts: Jeff's not a film critic. Moving along... * 48:08 - Erik's Final Thoughts: It's not a monster movie. It's a survival movie.
