A man walks into FBI Headquarters, puts in a meeting request and waits for the guns to be drawn… we are of course talking about the more famous pseudonym of Robert California, none other than Red Reddington in The Blacklist With the show having just ended last year, we ask ourselves whether the opener still grips you – whether James Spader with his unending smarm charm holds the screen hostage like we always remember he did. Does it hold up? Worth the watch?

Before we get to the episode, we want welcome to the show for the month of March, Big Matt. He’ll be joining us for an event we like to refer to as March Matt-ness! Now, what are we talking about during this festive time of year where one brings a Matt into your home and offers him episodes of a podcast?  Well we’re starting off with the songs that make movies movie. Is it a song that you can’t connect one without the other? Is it the big hit that was on all the stations that literally says the name of the film in the chorus? Is it written by Bette Midler?  You might have a favorite movie theme song. So join us as we go through our favorites and get very confused about Bryan Adams. Ok, here we go.. for the glory of love.

This week, we are pitching movie Prequels – stories before the story – and who is our guest CEO?

Not all shows are created equal. Some shows are brilliant and stay that way throughout. Others go out into the woods to become lumberjacks. This week we are taking it to the dark passenger and his damp serial killer, Dexter Morgan. When it all began, was it good? Does it hold up? What did we notice this time that we never noticed before? Lastly, is it worth going back to? So follow the Somethings down to Miami as we talk The Beginning: Dexter Ok, here we go! Full Episode

Comedy Central wasn’t the first people to do roasts.. the celebrity roast is a time honored tradition that goes back to a time when there were only four celebrities, so they each took turns making fun of each other. Well, nowadays, everyone is a celebrity and we can make fun of them forever. So join the Somethings as we look back at some of the best single lines from roasts. From the roasters and toasters to the utterly burned – we’re talking our favorite Celebrity Roast Lines. Ok, here we go, a family walks into a talent agency and says ‘Have I got an act for you…’ Full Episode

For the first time in 2024 we have a 5 week month – and we’re taking another thing we did and putting it here so we don’t do it that much because we do one of those things a lot more.  Make sense? You don’t care, it’s fine. So we have The Wheel out of mothballs and that means we are spinning it to a topic which leads us to the wacky world of Marvel Mutants. The X-Movies are coming, so who could play the first class of DizMar Mutants?  Well we’ll lay out our teams and you can go to all of our social media and tell us which one is right. So join me, my X-Men as we go to the 5th Wheel: Dreamcasting X-Men Ok, here we BESERKER BARRAGE, Full Episode

They travel by car, plane, sneaker, and bicycle like some sort of dystopian It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World all to reveal what has happened to a world on the brink of devastation. Do not miss the Amy Dolenz vehicle, and our review of: 1-Star Movie Review: 2012 Doomsday Now, are you the type of person that wants to see the movie after knowing how amazing it is?  Well if you would like… here you go.

In a post-Lost world, a lot of television shows came through the lens flaired hands of J.J. Abrams on his journey to screwing up Star Trek and leaving the bones of Star Wars to bleach in the pretty, yet confusing red sand. Fringe may be the show he is lauded for the least, but is that the way it should be? A mix between X-Files and a procedural, Fringe gave us 5 seasons… but how did it begin? Join us as we follow the wacky antics of crazypants science that is The Beginning: Fringe Ok, Stranger, here we go! Full Episode

It’s time again for the Somethings to head to Big Money Tower – what are we pitching this time? THEME RESTAURANTS.. and no, we don’t mean we’re going to put local sports teams on the wall and random bric-a-brac we found at the thrift. We’re going all out with full immersion experiences looking for that big check. And who is providing the big check this week? Well, none other than two of our favorite people, of Pre-Recorded Live, it’s Matt & Becky! If you are in the Ohio area, you should check out Mysteries Ink where the pair are part of a murder… most… foul. Before that though, settle in as we wine and dine these two and see which one of us wins Elevator Pitch: Theme Restaurant Ok, here w- wait are we splitting the check? Full Episode

We’re back! It’s been a bit since we had a new episode for you – besides the special PAX episodes… and the Christmas Party… ok, look, even when we take a break we’re on break with mics in our hand. That said, we have returned to our regularly scheduled Something with our mostly yearly round-up of some of the stories that took the year by storm – and by storm, I mean confused your Gramma on Facebook. Which ones are real? Which ones are fake? Which ones are a secret mindcrime built by the establishment to stop the 5g chips in your teeth? Find out on our Snopes 2023 Roundup! Ok, here we go?  VERIFIED Full Episode

Ending the year with our favorite episode – it was a unanimous decision. Both Rob and James get together and invent their own new television show.. where the prizes are weird and the reasons are stupid. It is hands down our favorite from the year, so we’ll see you next week with something new – but until then, enjoy and Happy New Year! Original Post: The Wheel is back, and it’s got a job to do… Ok, it doesn’t, that would be weird, it’s a Wheel. It has a job, and it does it well. We spin it, and it gives us the week’s topic.  The topic though, well that’s a different job entirely.  You see, if you have watched any television in the last twenty years, you have seen, at some point, a show about bakers or flower arrangers or glass blowers or taxis.  Doing your boring-ass day job probably has its own channel on Pluto, so what happens when the Somethings get to make their own? It’s a brand new episode of The Wheel – Elevator Pitch Ok, here we g̷

What’s the best thing about the holiday season? Is it snow? Well I hope you’re having a White Christmas and settle in as we discuss the delicious white gold of a bear going nuts on narcotics. Merry Blowmas… Original Post Every now and then, a movie comes out that’s “Based On Actual Events”.  “The Courier” comes to mind, as does “Eight Men Out” and “Schindler’s List”.  Well, now that list of movies must share the stage with the tale of a 500 lb bear that goes on a coke bender.  This week, Hatton and Podcast Rob head to Georgia to take on “Cocaine Bear” in this episode of “Something In Review”! Ok, here we blow! Full Episode

WHAT’S THIS! A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE! By Tiny Tim’s Little Crutches, it’s a Christmas Miracle! It’s also what we do every year, but that doesn’t matter, it’s NEW SOMETHING STUFF… So who is joining us in for our giant glass of Nog and talking Christmas fun?  Why it is the collection of wonderful personage we’ve become friends with on our podcasting journey from ACPNET.NET. John, Jason, and Matt are all hanging with us and bringing the Christmas Something along with them. One note – I do apologize for my audio, as with all multi-guest episodes, audio mixing sometimes becomes a bit of an unkillable monster. That said – Happy Holidays from all of us to all of you. Ok, here we Ho Ho Hooooo… Full Episode

Back with another Best of – we brought in Something Bestie, Tim ‘Ungajje’ Stevens, to discuss some of the moments in cinema that make you stand up and clap. It’s a great one, enjoy… Original post: What is a ‘pop’? In professional wrestling terms, it’s the moment the crowd goes nuts. Maybe they’re cheering – maybe they’re booing, but there is a moment in a movie where the audience is so emotionally invested they can’t help but be there. We’re talking about those moments.. but not alone! We are joined by long time SomethingFriend, Tim Stevens. You may know Tim from his time writing for any number of fantastic websites about the world of comics and pop culture. These days you can find him on TheSpool.net as well as The Wealth of Geeks. He’s also one bad shut yo mouth. You ready to laugh? Ready to cheer? Ready to catch the ball to win the big game? Prepared to listen to a podcast you can’t help, but scream at? Ok, here we OO

Ach! The Somethings have done their share of voices.. well, so have actors, and in some cases, we would prefer to listen to our own.  Enjoy the Somethings mocking bad movie accents in this weeks best of! Enjoy! Original Post:  SAY E’LLO TO OUR LIT’LE PODCAST! And unlike the picture perfect Pacino accent that previous sentence was written in, sometimes a movie can pull you right out when someone’s accent doesn’t exactly match their character. Are they an American with a Brit twang? Are they Southern and sound like they came straight from the Civil War? Are they a Spaniard and yet somehow sound precisely like they don’t give a damn about any of the movies in this franchise? Well, we’re about to take them to task. Did you read that with a perfect patois? You should, as you join us on Worst Accents in Movies O’ah kay, here we go, an’ nobody gets our lucky charms! Full Episode

Surprise number two!  The Somethings went to PAX: UNPLUGGED and put on their best nerd swag and rolled dice for two days.  Well, along the way, we got a chance to do some interviews too! As promised, here are our interviews with Vaikin Kansepts, Meredith Placko, and Gamey – and we thank them tremendously for the time they gave us in a place where every person is vying for their time. One note – we are live in a convention hall, so the audio quality does dip at places. We’ve done our best to adjust accordingly, but we will keep that in mind for where ever our next adventure takes us, and we appreciate your understanding. With that said – Happy Holidays Somethings, please settle in and enjoy PAX:Unplugged – The Interviews! Vaikin Kansepts Steve Jackson Games Turbo Dork Gamey Full Episode

Not every movie is made equal, and some are made mighty unequal by the replacement of a key character.. we sat with friend Cthulu’s Prodigy and discussed. Enjoy! Original Post:  It has to be hard to make a sequel to a movie. Aside from trying to recapture the magic of the first one, you have to get this legion of performers to come back and find a perfect time where they aren’t working on other things… or, you know, you could just ditch em. Actors are replaced in movies for a myriad of reasons, some tragic, some hysterical – so settle in as we discuss some of our favorite and least favorite replacements in film.  We’re not going alone though – we are thrilled to have Cthulu’s Prodigy from Blacker Than Black Times Infinity to talk the movie talk with us. Make sure to give them a listen and tell em the Somethings sent ya. Ok, here we .. ok, well not ‘we’ since we had to replace both hosts .. go! Full Episode  

Oh, the Somethings actually went somewhere.. that’s right, they made their triumphant return to PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia – why? Because we’re a bunch of board game nerds, we take December off so we didn’t have to record anything. And yet, live in our hotel room, we did record something. Our tale of lines and games, interviews and fun, games and friends live from the convention center a few miles away from the home of Rocky Balboa. So enjoy one of a couple surprises that are coming in the next few weeks – and please don’t mind the audio quality – as the Somethings hang out together, exhausted from walking miles through the board game haven that was PAX: Unplugged Links mentioned in the episode: Vaikin Kansepts Jason Anarchy Games Steve Jackson Games Turbo Dork Gamey Games Mentioned: Captain Sonar Unboxed Powergrid Furnace Fugitive Ray Racers Damn the Man! Full Episode

It’s Podcast Rob’s turn with a Best of, and this is the first (but not the last) visit to the Wheel. Isn’t it weird that we get the best content out of when we really dislike something? See you next time! Original Post:  Look, you can’t like everyone. It’s just impossible. I’m sure there’s at least one person out there in the universe that throws darts at a picture of me. Hell, some see it as a sign of a life lived well. Now, that said, when it comes to movies and television, some actors just aren’t our thing, either. So join us as The Wheel goes out of its way to make Rob and I be assured we will never get those cushy Hollywood jobs we have been vying for all these years. Find out which actors we just aren’t about on The Wheel’s Bottom 5: Actors Ok here we ewww, Full Episode
