Tv Ate My Dinner

Who would win?  Kirk or Darth Vader?  A Borg ship or a Star Destroyer?  How about MacGuyver vs. a Predator?  The boys debate these and other burning issues in this heated episode!  Plus we pay tribute to Julie Brown and discuss Lorenzo Lamas' new opus, Megashark vs. Giant Octopus!

In this TV Ate My Dinner Theater featurette, Sir St. John presents the first three episodes of the classic radio serial, the Adventures of the Patriotic Paragon, America's Most Concerned Citizen!  Plus some fun extras, including a look at St. John's earlier work.

The boys go from strip clubs, peep shows and porno to Kenneth Branaugh's Hamlet in this episode that's supposed to be about musicals.  They compare the relative merits of standards like Phantom of the Opera, Grease and the King & I to novelties like Rocky Horror, Bat Boy and Evil Dead the Musical.  Plus there is a tribute to 80's Johnnie Drama, James Remar, Joe Lamont's Quiet Cool theme song, and lots of unnecessary singing from the boys themselves.

Reflecting on the 40th anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landing, the boys consider where technology has brought us since then.  Sure, podcasting and the wikipedia are awesome, but while we're trying to decide whether Ubuntu is preferable to Microsoft Vista, who's developing the next breakthrough technology that will make history the same way the astronauts did?  Will we ever have a moon base or go to Mars?  And is dark matter even real at all? Plus we talk about the new Harry Potter movie.

Pulsar the Ultimate Man of Adventure, ROM the Space Knight, Shogun Warriors, Go Bots, Weebles and JJ Armes... Star Wars and GI Joe weren't the only awesome toys from our youth.  From the Mego Star Trek dolls to the Six Million Dollar Man, the boys reminisce about the great toys from the seventies and eighties. PLUS:  Brooks makes a shocking confession...

In this TV Ate My Dinner Theater featurette, our host Sir St. John C. O'Herlihy introduces us to Angus Dundee, proprietor of the Inn of the Broken Sword, a bar where stories as much a currency as money. 

This Season Premiere marks the 2 year anniversary of TVAMD, and the boys celebrate by going back to where it all began:  Talking about Transformers! There's also some discussion of the new Friday the 13th and still more talk about GI Joe and Star Trek.

TVAMD presents a brand new featurette:  TV Ate My Dinner Theater!  Your host, Sir St. John C. O'Herlihy, presents stories of intrigue and adventure in the theater of the imagination. This week's story:  "The Morning Star" by Brooks Robinson and Sean Gilbert. A psychiatrist gets too close to his work when he examines a serial killer with a frightening agenda.

In this epic Season Finale, the boys discuss the unsung (or perhaps improperly appreciated) heroes of Star Wars.  Who are the people (and in some cases, the characters) who made Star Wars great?  And who got left behind as it became what it is today?

This is practically a Jane Austen tribute.  We discuss Stephen King adaptations like 1408 and the Shawshank Redemption, but mostly the many faces of Pride and Prejudice, including the new Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.  There is also some talk of Harry Potter and Sean does a little Dr. Horrible karaoke.  Consider yourselves warned.

In this long-awaited (if unsolicited) follow-up to the gaming episode, the boys pretend they're going to discuss Dungeons & Dragons and the Star Wars role-playing game, but end up telling random stories about pretty much everthing else.  In other words, the usual...

In this episode, we pretend to discuss books that were adapted into movies, but we're so excited to have Lynn on the show we just end up chatting the whole time.  We talk Lord of the Rings, Watchmen, the viciousness of Koalas, and the comparative virtues of the yowie to the bunyip.  And that's only in part one...

Brooks and Sean join with David to discuss the growing roster of Summer movies.  From Star Trek and Wolverine to Terminator and the new Transformers, they discuss everything down to Harry Potter and Quentin Tarantino.

This episode is not really about UFO's (except a little), but we're pretty much all over the place. From George W. Bush to James Bond and the Mysteries from Beyond the Other Dominion, we manage to rip on Oliver Stone, Paul Haggis and pretty much all TV shows. Another one from the vault and for the books, folks...

In this extract from the Summer Movie Special, Sean and Brooks team with David to discuss the upcoming GI Joe movie.  So here's a little taste of that before the full episode is up.

Ever since Reefer Madness, marijuana has had a dubious distinction in the eyes of the mainstream, creating a weird counter-culture of drug movies that celebrate the twinkie-craving outlaw in all of us.  From Cheech & Chong to Dazed & Confused, marijuana movies have run the gamut from total crap to comedy gold.  The boys look into this interesting entertainment phenomenon with their usual aplomb.

The boys pretend to talk about the untimely deaths of rock legends like Jimi Hendrix and Curt Cobain (all at the age of 27), but mostly yammer about their new forum, the Bilderburg conspiracy, the new zombie video game Left 4 Dead and the new Star Trek movie.

You think we're scared to thrown down the karaoke challenge, world?  Well, here it is:  Sean's rendition of "Leaving on a Jet Plane" by John Denver.  You think you can top this?  Send us your audio of your own own karoke if you've the stones.  You think we're scared.  You don't scare us one damn bit.

Computers predicting the future, the mysterious Cryptos code, and other oddities are fodder for this discussion.  Did the scientists and futurists of the MERLIN project design a computer program that predicts the future (but for some reason can't see anything past 2012)?  Did a sculptor come up with a code that CIA crptoanalysts can't crack?  And what is the story behind the wisdom of the Georgia Guidestones?  Listen and find out!

The boys take a few minutes to discuss the first person thriller Quarantine and the many negative examples it offers on surviving a horror movie.  Plus:  how to escape a hungry polar bear...
