Podcasts The Somethingsomethingcast

As is tradition, the Somethings are taking December off.  That does not mean you aren’t getting Something Eps.. in fact, you are getting twice the amount of Something as we go through and list off our favorite episodes of the year on Mondays and Fridays. So settle in as we dive into some of the good times we had, and make sure you stick around for some surprises along the way. Happy Holidays! Original Post:  We did it. We hit 10 Years. A decade of Movies. Listicles. Bad impressions. Mysteries. Special Guests. And yet somehow, in all of that, we’ve never talked directly about Science Fiction movies… like… what? How is that? It’s weird, isn’t it? Like it feels like a big miss. We looked through the episodes and – nope – no sci-fi.  So we did it. Seemed like a great way to celebrate ten years. This episode is broken down a little different. Mostly because I included the Patreon stuff to let you all know that we are, for now, closing down the Patreon. We thank those

One of the great things about doing In The Beginning is that we get a chance to look at some stuff that was super popular, but doesn’t really reach the lofty goals of a multiple season blah blah..  so we can even take on the classics of the 80s – the TV Miniseries. So why don’t we start that idea with one of the biggest and most well known in a little story about the aliens landing and being totally friendly and not at all problematic lizard monsters. …No.. seriously… Anyway, does it stand the test of time? Is it good? Is it the reason miniseries aren’t around anymore? Find out on The Beginning – V.  Ok, here V go! Full Episode

What was your toy?  Did you play with M.U.S.C.L.E.S or Stretch Armstrong? Were you a Lite-Brite kid or maybe you had a slinky but you straightened it.  Whatever your particular pet rock was, there is some toy that you remember from your childhood that is no longer with us. Maybe because it just wasn’t that interesting or maybe because it was horrendously dangerous. Well, the Somethings are back in the elevator and we’re going to bring back a toy from our childhood, and the special guest CEO is one of the hosts of High Anxiety on Youtube, Ty Jero!  So please, pay respect to our toy maestro and check out his team’s reviews of toys and collectables. But for now – which one of us will get the pile of money? Find out on Elevator Pitch: Discontinued Toys Ok here we go go Power Rangers! Full Episode

You’ve done it. You find something you enjoy on Monday, you blink, and it’s August. Maybe it’s a show.. maybe it’s a website.. maybe it’s learning how to translate Etruscan. The fact is, we have all fallen down our share of rabbit holes that suck our life away for good or for ill. This week, Hatton and Rob will be talking some of the entertaining things they have found themselves fighting to avoid the gravitational pull of. Some of these things only last a day or two… some, a life time. Please let us know if we’re your rabbit hole. It’s ok… we won’t tell… on Rabbit Holes Ok, here we fall! Full Episode

With the last Tuesday, a spooky 5th Tuesday, we interrupt our normal ‘Whatever the hell we do on the extra week’ and replace it with a NEW thing we do on the extra week, but we replace THAT with something that’s much more Halloweeny since this also is that day so really it’s sort of just an In Review week, but under a different name, but … ARE YOU SCARED?! So let’s go to a small boardwalk town where kids are kids and they are thirsty … for blood….. and Chinese Food! That’s right, we’re discussing your goth ex-girlfriend’s favorite movie, Lost Boys. Does it stand the test of time or is it just a Frog in Vamp clothing. Find out on The Fifth Wheel – Not Really – In Review – Sorta – Halloweeny Lost Boys! Ok, we’re confused! Full Episode

We promised October was shake-it-up month for the Somethings, and Hatton couldn’t be happier to reveal our new format type. You see, Hatton loves a good piece of garbage movie.. PCR doesn’t hate them, but he certainly likes them less. So we get the perfect Odd Couple moment as the Somethings dig their teeth into the bitter pill that is the budget movie experience. So settle in as we start with a found footage alien film, brought to you by Asylum, and filmed on what is probably a bricked iPhone 3. Alien Origins is the tale of some people in the woods doing stuff, and you may think that is where we begin, but no… it goes on for so much longer. So grab your popcorn and your Dramamine, you are going to need it. 1-Star Movie Review – Alien Origins has arrived. Ok, here we go! Full Episode

We all have movies that we think probably shouldn’t have been remade. We all have movies we think ‘it would be great to see that from a new perspective’ — well this week, the boys unleash a regular show that is becoming a staple as they head into the elevator to pitch the next not-new, new-again movie relaunch. That’s right Elevator Pitch is now a monthly adventure. This week’s CEO is a long time friend of the show, the ringmaster of ACPN and Adult Swim Central, John Galbo! What movie would you redo? Do you agree with the Somethings?  Find out on Elevator Pitch: 80s Remake! Ok here we like yah fer shurr, Full Episode

Waalllllllt! It’s been so long since I’ve done that. You see, we’ve started a new thing.. The Beginning. Since we’ve done it now for a couple episodes we thought, as PCR likes to put it, to rip the bandaid off and just get this one out of the way. Before the messages and tweets and you darling somethings ask for it, we’re just going to get the mystical island that haunts us out of the way. And what did we think? I mean, the answer may surprise you… but it probably shouldn’t. So settle in with your box of Dharma Initiative Fish Biscuits and get ready to go back yet again to The Beginning – Lost. Ok, here we go again..! Full Episode

We made it to October, avoiding the heat death of the universe yet again. But what we have not avoided, if I can get serious here for a moment, is disappointment. PCR and I have, at times in our lives, found we were looking forward to something or were interested in a film that was on the horizon. Sadly, not all of the things we look forward to are … well.. good. Sometimes they can’t meet our expectations where others they are just plain dog crap – so please enjoy this list of films that we have decided are The Most Disappointing Movies. Ok, here we boo! Full Episode

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

Audio Blog Last month, I paid into Microsoft Game Pass because Starfield was coming out and I am a fan of Bethesda games. Similar to Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series, the Bethesda games are the same game with different coats of paint. It’s an entire genre of paint, but still guns for bows and arrows, space for wastelands.. I dig it. Sadly, that game was made with top of the line hardware in mind and mine is not. It’s stupid, but it is what it is. Hell, it isn’t even what I want to talk about today. Since Starfield was out, I stuck around with Game Pass to see what else they had, and saw that Lies of P was on its way. I downloaded it, played it for about 4 – 6 hours, and promptly uninstalled it because I can’t stand Souls Games. First, I need to clarify that this isn’t a situation of ‘getting good’ – I enjoy a lot of tough gaming genres… hell, I will play a Rogue-like until my eyes won’t dialate without seeing Dead Cells or Hades ch

Do you want to be a superhero, but your moral compass is all out of whack? Are you obliviously lost in a differente decade? Do you frequently get people telling you that they can’t see you? If the answer is – you are John Cena and we’re glad you support the show. Please reach out for an interview, we won’t charge you much. Anyway, this week we are discussing the Cena show that took the world by surprise. I mean, Cena has always had the comedy chops, but to hold up the lionshare on this ensemble piece is an impressive feat.  But what was that first episode? A good place to begin or over-hype? Let’s answer the question on In the Beginning: Peacemaker Ok here we AWABADOO… ba baa ba baa. Full Episode

So you have spent the last few hundred years in the thrall of a monster who drinks the blood of the innocent.. what is a guy to do? Well, let me add a little wrinkle to this hypothesis… that monster?  None other than the most legendary monster of all time – Nic Cage. That’s the basic premise of Renfield. Along the way we learn about toxic relationships, we visit a gothic TGIF, a support group, and a mob boss. It sounds like a story joke, but it isn’t – it’s Something in Review – Renfield Ok, here we blah! Full Episode

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

Once in a while.. and by a while, I mean two or three times a year, we are given the gift of a fifth week in the month. Now, the Somethings run the ship like a well oiled machine, so I’m sure it is obvious that our meticulous schedule is thrown all catty-wampus by this nere-do-well week. To solve that, we don’t plan what to do .. we just turn on the mics. So what have the Somethings been up to? What are we watching? What’s bugging us? We’ll tell you on this week’s 5th Week Free For All Ok, here we go! Full Episode

We have returned with our newest attempt at relevancy, The Beginning! On this episode we go to the comic book wagon again for the most recent in the constant struggle for the MCU to find its footing – this time with a series that has been in the works since Captain Marvel. He is our favorite Bad Motha-shut-yo-mouth, Sam Jackson returning as Nick Fury, in a world where anyone of us could be a Skrull. So settle in as we talk about the first episode, how it sits, how the Marvel U looks, and more on The Beginning: Secret Invasion! Ok, here Kree go! Full Episode

Have you ever seen patterns where there weren’t any?  Have you ever found some truth in the noise and were certain you could change the world? What if you also were a wacky scientist who can only act by breathing heavy?  Oh, and also the world might be ending.. maybe.. So, none of these questions are impossible in the world of Knowing or KNOW1NG if you pay attention to the advertisements, a Nic Cage vehicle that can’t help but zig zag across the map all higgildy-piggildy and lets you hang along for the ride. Settle in as the Somethings dissect a movie that sits somewhere between 2012 and an Asylum version of 2012. Ok, here we go… (but read in a Nic Cage voice) Full Episode

The Wheel is back.  The Wheel? You ask. Yes, the completely real creation of Swedish technology that determines what we are doing on any given episode. ..and this time it brought a guest! Imagine the Somethings each get just one chance to pitch something, while the top CEO with all of the big spending dollars is forced to listen to them. One of them will get bankrolled to have their idea go to market. The other.. well, the other got that free elevator ride. This week’s CEO Mogul Du Jour is the fantabulous Vanessa Guerrero.  You may have seen her on G4, or know her from Game Grumps – or maybe you have checked out her podcast Popcorn & Pixels (and if not, you should!) Who is going to the top floor? Only one way to find out… Ok, here we girl from ipanima… Full Episode

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 OOOOoooh! Full Episode

In an ironic twist, we End the month, not with The End… but… The Beginning! Now, this may confuse some of you – but it really shouldn’t, it isn’t that hard of a concept – previously we would talk about the last episodes of shows, and guess what, now we’re going to talk about the beginning of them. The End will still be around when it is relevant, but we have some great ideas for this new take on what we were doing. We’re starting with a show that made millions look to the sky and wonder, ‘…weather balloon?’ – The X-Files.  And, as you will hear, there is no possible way we could have done an episode on The X-Files without the resident X-pert on X-Things, the Scully to Hatton’s Mulder, making her Somethingcast debut Brittany! So – does the start of the X-Files still smoke or is it just a cover up?  Find out on the debut of The Beginning: X-Files The Truth’s Ok, here we go! Full Episode
