Episode 55 : and in other news…

On this week’s episode, Jon berates Diane’s poor publicity skills while Jill and Paul eat jelly beans. The gang discuss The Real World’s Dustin Zito’s porn past (and his castmates’ reaction to the learning of it), the Royal Wedding, and the death of Osama Bin Laden.

This week’s featured song is “Social Studies” by Body Language

Humpday Funny : Bandwagon

Folks may remember Emma Caulfield as the bunny-phobic, former vengeance demon Anya on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Jill definitely remembers her as Susan from Beverly Hills, 90210. Years ago she produced and starred in a mockumentary called Bandwagon, which was written and directed by Karri Bowman. Last year she released the full length film on YouTube in 8 min. long “episodes.” Well, episode one is this week’s HumpDay funny. Check it out below. And check out YouTube channel Bandwagonification for the rest of season 1…and season 2 is expected to air later this year. Holy Frijole!

Episode 54 : Can’t Talk to a Psycho

On this week’s Secretly Timid, Jon surprises the group with a photo mentioned in episode 53. Paul confesses to finally seeing Jersey Shore, and he and Jon discuss this year’s The Real World. The news topics are pretty brutal this week and include a local woman’s murder, a teenager in Oregon who committed suicide in front of an audience, and a transgendered woman’s beating in a Baltimore McDonald’s (which was posted on YouTube) which may be tried as a hate crime. In an attempt to lighten the mood, Paul attempts the answer the age-old question: Why do heavy metal chicks love sex?

This week’s featured song is “Like a Liar” by The Orbans.

Holy shit, y’all. This movie was all sorts of B-Movie awesome. The plot is a little silly, but we like silly. SO the apocalypse happened…nay the “cancellation” happened, and society is all sorts of different. The land is divided by different factions; one of which is led by a Goddess named “She” (Sandahl Bergman). In her land women rule and men are slaves. She knows her way around the land which is why 2 hunks kidnap her ass because one of the hunk’s sister was kidnapped by this creepy dude (Quin Kessler). From here on out the group encounter numerous perils and leave a high body count.

This film was a ton of fun. It had it all…werewolves, giants in tutu’s, nazi’s, you get the drift. The action was pretty terrible…hell, Power Rangers had better fight choreography, but for whatever reason I didn’t mind. The soundtrack is awesome. When you think post-apocalyptic warrior movie what springs to mind? Some strings…heavy percussion…something that rings “period piece.” Well this movie said “hells no” to that bullshit. This film has a heavy metal soundtrack…and it works.

I did notice something that made my eyebrows tingle. So this film takes place in the future, right? Well that racist in your family will be happy to know that in this future there are no ethnic minorities…just whities. This made me frown.

Frowning aside, this film was a lot of fun and definitely worth a little Netflix streaming.
