Stuff #35: Talk about Bone!

suberunker — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 05:23:24 +0000

We catch up with Andy and Amy, who haven't been on a show in a while. And then we discuss some Indie Comics, whether they are in print or online form.

Intro/Outro Music: F*** YOU by Cee-Lo

Scott Pilgrim

suberunker — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 04:03:10 +0000

Finally after much request, we discuss the comic/film/music/video-game phenomenon of Scott Pilgrim, with a heavy emphasis on the film, but also some discussion on the relation to the books as well. Get ready to hear intellectual analysis on double-fisting, Donkey Kong, and basement dwelling.

Stuff & Suggestions #26: Drunk Chris

suberunker — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 05:05:06 +0000

We had enough time to fill in a fun Top 5 this week, so we went broad and decided on Top 5 Fictional Characters You Grew Up With (across all mediums) so hopefully there was enough variety and personal insight to give you guys a very comfortable and round-tabley show this week. We round out with a great selection of your emails and then we were off to the races! (what?)

Stuff & Suggestions #24: It’s Pornyo

suberunker — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 04:16:00 +0000

We attempt our first online-only recording to low-level and possibly mixed-middle results? It's a weird experience, and likely one we won't try again till we get everything squared away. But once we get there, we'll finally have our online live shows. Anyways, we get through some of your mail in a quick and hurried fashion. This is a short one, so try to soak in the depth of the microphone noise.

Seattle

suberunker — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 06:32:11 +0000

Sure, we may not know that much about Seattle, but we were there this weekend to visit Lita at her Microsoft internship. Amy showed us her foodie talent, Kevin visits a movie theater on his to-see list, and Dom somehow wears pants while Lita shows us around town. This one is just a quick update from our S-Wordsish trip, so we're not entirely exhaustive on this one.

Intro/Outro Music: Robot Rock by Daft Punk

Stuff & Suggestions #22: Stool Sample Freezing

suberunker — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 05:51:08 +0000

We go through pretty much just the Mailbag in this episode. Albert's sexy voice is requested once more. Soung gets a little pride boosting. Kevin mentions his blind-box figure strategy. And you might also want to stick around for a discussion on food poisoning and Danny's real-life Shenmue experience!

Serenity (a look at the Whedonverse)

suberunker — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 06:54:14 +0000

[We're recording at a new place and there's a heavy level of echo. It doesn't hurt the sound too much, but it does sound weird at first. We should have this fixed by next week.] We go with a six-man discussion and take a look at one of the bigger topics on our list: Serenity. We made sure to take this opportunity to examine all of Joss Whedon's works and have a great time doing so. We hope that you find it fun too!

Intro/Outro Music: Main Title from Firefly by Sonny Rhodes and Joss Whedon.

San Diego Comic-Con Pt. 4 – That Puddle of Dom’s Blood

suberunker — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 05:50:34 +0000

Finally, the 4th part of our four-part San Diego Comic-Con series is here. This time, Chris is here to spend some time recollecting his first Comic-Con experience with us! Stick around after the show to hear some raw footage of how we prepare most of our shows. It is... interesting.

Stuff & Suggestions #21: Tread the Fine Water

suberunker — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 06:17:50 +0000

We had some awesome ribs for dinner (as well as some beers), so some of us (Kevin) were a bit more casual during the show than others. Regardless, we went through a ton of your emails and suggestions to give you more of that on-the-side, super-casual, sometimes-ridiculously-off-topic Stuff segment mayhem that you crave. Enjoy!

Scholastic

suberunker — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 07:53:41 +0000

[Warning: There is some discussion at the end of the show that is a bit more PG-13, though it's not like something you wouldn't hear on the radio or on TV.] We finally get back on track with the schedule with our look at the very established childrens' book publisher of our childhood, Scholastic. Not only did they provide many of the books we read in our youth, but they're also the publisher of the very popular Harry Potter series that many of our listeners asked us to discuss. We kept this one brief, but there's a little bit of silliness once we realized we were near the end.

San Diego Comic-Con Pt. 1 – Like a Baby Lobster

suberunker — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 08:18:24 +0000

We get together to discuss our first Comic-Cons, as well as what we expect to see this year. It's a basic checkup, but we thought it'd be nice to get warmed up for the rest of the con this way. The next three parts should have far more content since the con will actually have begun.

San Francisco

suberunker — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 05:26:35 +0000

This week we take a look at the big city just around the corner (or in Mike's case, 80 miles south): San Francisco. From our first forays into the city, to our love for it's appearance in popular culture, this episode is mainly about the metropolis we grew up knowing. We also divulge a classic story about Danny (you might remember him from such episodes as Sega and the Super Bowl).

Also, if you're ever in San Francisco, be sure to check out a restaurant owned by Dom's relatives: Zadin.

Stuff & Suggestions #18: I Have Wood for Sheep

suberunker — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 04:24:28 +0000

This week we go straight to a new gameshow, Before or After, in which the contestants must state whether a movie was released before or after a base film. Then we dive right into the mailbag and get it on with your letters! Or maybe just Dom does.

Six Scraps #1: I’m in the Presence of Kings

suberunker — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 03:53:24 +0000

This week we finally have a system for going through Scraps: the Six Scraps format. We randomly pick six scraps through the show. Each Scrap is dedicated 5 minutes of time. We don't know what the scraps will be ahead of time, neither do our guest hosts! It's all just for fun and an easier way for us to get an episode finished during very busy weekends. We hope you enjoy our first attempt at Six Scraps.

Stuff & Suggestions #15: Punched in the Soul

suberunker — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 05:27:16 +0000

This week we try something new and present the very first Game Show segment on the S-Words Stuff segment. This Game Show's topic: DS game or Porno? The idea came from the CAGcast, one of Kevin's favorite podcasts, and we strongly urge you to check them out and their website: CheapAssGamer. Not only will you be thoroughly entertained, but you'll save some money on future games and help support a great website. We also go through some of your mail and get wrapped up in a rollicking good time at BBQ (so please pardon the background noise).

Stuff & Suggestions #10: The Pervinator

suberunker — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 03:25:10 +0000

This week the stuff segment takes a look at our top 5 Movie Villains with a large list of honorable mentions. Also, Dom needs Kevina. Amy's stapler was stolen at work. Soung tells us about Jennifer Aniston's new movie, Master Baster. And Danny is upset that Jean-Claude Van Damme's Street Fighter legacy was ruined by the movie that must not be named.

Stuff & Suggestions #6: With Its Delicious Zither.

suberunker — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 06:33:31 +0000

While we prepared ourselves for a rousing viewing of Crank (with drinking rules attached), we decided to get another Stuff segment done. So, this time Dom lets us know about his Head Chopping adventures. Alex tells us why Sumos are a surefire boost to the economy. Amy pimps her blog. And Kevin claims Chris doesn't listen to the show despite him telling us earlier that he listens to all of them (oops!).

The Simpsons

suberunker — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 08:12:23 +0000

Finally, an episode that's basically a string of quote soundoffs! We take a look at our years growing up with the Simpsons, discuss our favorite episodes, examine the decline as the seasons progressed, and ask ourselves where we see The Simpsons head into the future. Dom remembers the day he stopped watching. Andy tells us how computers say his name. Amy rams her first into Fox's stomach. And Kevin passes out due to asphyxiation. It's a long episode, but we hope you enjoy it.
