Satoshi Kon

suberunker — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 05:02:01 +0000

This week we have a brief chat about esteemed anime director Satoshi Kon. We reflect on our first experiences with his work and how the industry is at a huge loss without his vision.

Intro/Outro Music: Sail Locker by Basil Poledouris

Stuff #36: Anime Destiny

suberunker — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 04:23:45 +0000

We just talk about our old Anime Club's history and the stories that we hopefully haven't shared before. It's really Cal Animage Alpha history, but also somewhat in relation to the club's on-campus convention/meetup called Anime Destiny. Enjoy the stories as we pretty much naturally had this conversation without much layout or staging the show.
Find out more about Anime Destiny here.

Stuff #34: We’ve Grown Up

suberunker — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 06:05:29 +0000

We have discussion on what we're doing, Jason Statham, E3, Lady Gaga, Crunk Juice, the Looney Tunes, Cal Football, glass appendages, BP, and even The Rollerblader.

Note: This was recorded before E3 2010.

Intro/Outro Music: Stickshifts and Safety Belts by Cake

Summer Movies

suberunker — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 06:50:56 +0000

We reminisce on one of pop culture's biggest seasons: the Summer Movie season. From our first summer movies to a discussion of the current summer movie lineup to some ramblings about movies and life in general, we go over summer films and reconnect after a long time without recording a show.

Intro/Outro Music: On the Rebound by Floyd Cramer

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 #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?)

Intro/Outro Music: Fun Day at Home (Powerpuff Girls movie) James L. Venable

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 #19: Jerk Store

suberunker — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 05:32:10 +0000

This week we quickly review Transformers 2, take some time to discuss our Top 5 Michael Jackson songs, and then head straight to the mailbag. It's a romp, I say!

Also check out the trailer for a new web series being created by one of our listeners: Lumina

Intro Music: Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough by Michael Jackson
Outro Music: Dirty Diana by Michael Jackson

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).

Intro Music: Up With Titles (from Up) by Michael Giacchino

Intermission: Trailer for "The Rollerblader" starring Jason Statham.

Outro Music: Meet the Pirate (from Dodgeball) by Theodore Shapiro

Stuff & Suggestions #12: Hands Off

suberunker — Thu, 07 May 2009 03:54:25 +0000

This week the stuff segment takes a look at our top 3 Geekiest Moments (that we're willing to reveal). We also go into our impromptu Australia contest and pick our winner. Also, Dom recalls his Jeopardy experience. Soung managed to get his art published (sorta). Chris relives his Tool concert glory days. And Kevin tells two stories that somehow tie into Target.

Intro/Outro Music: Average Joes/Meet the Pirate by Theodore Shapiro

Intermission Music: Major Tom by Peter Schilling

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 #4: I Don’t Use a Stylus!

suberunker — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 05:18:54 +0000

We get a bit weirder and wilder with this one. Dom's fixated on doo-wop. Lita tells us about her research. Kevin forgets B.D. Wong was in Mulan. Chris returns to his man-crush Jack Bauer. We get a letter from Sweden. Someone googled for "Sporn Games". Dom doesn't use a stylus. And somehow we got excited over soup. Hmmmmm....

Intro Music: The Longest Time as performed by The S-Words.

Outro Music: Theme from Tetris, McVaffeQuasi Ultimix by djpretzel.

Street Fighter (the movies)

suberunker — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 08:30:09 +0000

Though we've already visited the Street Fighter topic before, mainly limited to just the games, we thought we'd take a second look at the franchise and examine just the other media elements that the series has led on to. Though we have a brief discussion on the JCVD version, we mainly take it upon ourselves to discuss the new Legend of Chun Li movie that we watched last Friday. And what a treat it was. It makes me feel like having a free egg roll.

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

Mailbag #1/Stuff Segment #1

suberunker — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 08:59:42 +0000

Finally recorded our first mailbag segment in which we go through all the listener feedback that's backlogged over the past two episodes. We're thinking Mailbag will be it's own thing every few weeks. We also included the Stuff segment in which we talk about what interesting things are occupying our free time at the moment. I'm thinking Stuff will be going into the regular show starting with this weekend's Sega recording. Hope you enjoy the bonus episode!
