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.

Spells (Magic: the Gathering)

suberunker — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 14:39:03 +0000

The second season of the S-Words Podcast kicks off with a discussion of Magic: the Gathering! Dom, Albert, Andy, and Danny all talk about why we still play the original collectible card game, 17 years after the first cards were printed. From Yu-Gi-Oh! bashing to old war stories to Amy playing cards with her cat, we talk about plenty of topics for people who've never played the game before, as well as some more in-depth conversations that require some knowledge of the game.

Intro/Outro music: Beautiful Monsters by Tomoyasu Hotei

Sayonara

suberunker — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 17:26:48 +0000

[Warning: This episode is on the hard PG-13 border.] In an episode filled with surprises, we go over the transition in which Kevin hands over the full hosting duties to Dom. We discuss the origins of the show, how we all met, and some other stories about our adventures together. We hope you enjoy this very candid episode.

Outro Music: Up with End Credits by Michael Giacchino

SMASHED!! (warning: Explicit Content)

suberunker — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 02:16:54 +0000

We discuss our experience with alcohol culture! With all of us having different experiences with alcohol, we discuss our first drinking experiences as well as our stories involving us drinking and other people drinking too. It's a strange mix of nerds explaining how they discovered the perception and enjoyment of alcohol. This one's definitely explicit folks, so wear some headphones or be *very* selective as to where you listen to this.

Intro/Outro Music: Swisskapolka from the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse by Bob Jackman and Buddy Baker

Stuff & Suggestions #23: Hug Pillow Marriage

suberunker — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 07:01:56 +0000

We take a look at our favorite John Hughes movies before diving into the mailbag this week. We also have a quick discussion on reality television, Dom explains his love for his villainy, Kevin explains his feelings about the Futurama movies, and we explain the mystique of Miho.

Intro/Outro Music: Can I Be A Star by Burnshee Thornside

Studio Ghibli

suberunker — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 03:23:37 +0000

We pushed this topic up in anticipation of the US release of Ponyo, the new film from Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. We reflect on our first times being exposed to the works of Studio Ghibli as well as take a look at our current view of the studio that may not be performing on the same level as it did in the earlier years. Please enjoy and do note that Dom may be spoiling some items in Ponyo, but they are likely not items that will ruin the film for you.

Intro/Outro Music: Kiki's Delivery Service/My Neighbor Totoro (Studio Ghibli in Concert, 2008) by Joe Hisaishi

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!

Intro/Outro Music: Can I Be A Star by Burnshee Thornside

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.

Space Mountain (a look at Disneyland)

suberunker — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 07:03:18 +0000

Your attention please: the Santa Fe and Disneyland passenger podcast, the S-Words Podcast - now loading on track number one for a trip around Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom. All aboard! The S-Words Podcast looks back on their childhood, and even their current childhood beneath the layers of adulthood, during a podcast about Disneyland, or really a bit about the two S-Mountains: Space Mountain and Splash Mountain. Join us for a romping good time as we smile our way through our personal stories in the Disneyland park and our ... possibly creepy fandom. Dom gets scared by the fandom in this one. It's *THAT* good. (Apologies for some background noise, people were cooking in the background.)

Background Music from this show: Swisskapolka, Battle Cry of Freedom, Happy Rag, Bearless Love, Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin, Matterhorn Yodelers, The People Mover, It's a Small World, The Enchanted Tiki Room, Once Upon a Dream, All Aboard the Mine Train, The Main Street Electrical Parade, Frontierland (from Remember Dreams Come True - Original 50th Anniversary Edition), Space Mountain, Space Mountain (Current Edition)

Snikt! (a look at Wolverine)

suberunker — Tue, 05 May 2009 03:34:15 +0000

Oh boy! It's time for a Fastball special. We go through a discussion on Wolverine and go through the usual nerdy banter that's now associated with the S-Words podcast. Both Kevin and Dom lost nerd points while Andy and Mike find several ways to prove they know far more about Wolverine and the X-men. Joining us for a quick look at the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie are also previous guest hosts Chris and Soung. Please enjoy!

Intro/Outro Music: X2 Suite from X2: X-men United by John Ottman

Stuff & Suggestions #11: Mad Cakes

suberunker — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 04:16:06 +0000

This week the stuff segment takes a look at our top 5 X-Men characters in anticipation of the upcoming Wolverine movie. Also, Dom fancies Asians on TV. Andy plays with comic technicalities. Lita is constantly looking for For loops. And Kevin reveals his thing for Anna Paquin.

Intro/Outro Music: X-Men (Animated) Theme by Shuki Levy

Jason Statham

suberunker — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 06:48:56 +0000

The originally scheduled Jason Statham episode is here and the Dr. Seuss episode is now on a hiatus until we figure out what to do with it. In the meantime, Dom and Kevin finally catch Crank 2 (with Amy, but she is out this week), so the movie discussion is a bit limited. We do go through Statham's filmography, what roles we wish he would play, and have a really silly time all-around. Please enjoy!

Intro/Outro Music: Can I Be A Star by Burnshee Thornside.

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.

Zack Snyder (and some Watchmen movie)

suberunker — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 06:10:40 +0000

Though we did discuss Zack Snyder for the beginning of the show, we all knew we really wanted to dive into a discussion about Watchmen. Which is exactly what happened. You knew it would. I'm actually kind of surprised that this is the first episode in which we really dove into the comics topic (though this is still a film topic), which is something Dom and I originally were looking to get into much sooner.

Intro Music: Rescue Mission by Tyler Bates.

Outro Music: Can I Be A Star by Burnshee Thornside.
