[Throwback] Christmas-ish Movies
Happy Holidays Throwback month continues with an episode where we discuss movies that are… Christmas-ish. Sure, of course we all know about your Miracle on 34ths and your It’s a Wonderfuls, but everyone talks about those. We’re the Somethings – we need to take it a little bit further.
Also, if you are not the type that goes to websites anymore (who does that, anyway) – do us a favor and head to the site somethingcast.com and check out the new look for the website. More changes are coming, so keep coming back!
Ready for the jelly of the month club? Okay, here we go ho ho…
Full Episode
[Throwback] Doctor Who/ Sherlock Christmas Special
Remember back when the must-see event of any Christmas season was Doctor Who and Sherlock? We do, and we sometimes think back to those halcyon days of the early 2010s and remember fondly sitting around the hearth with our kin and arguing blitheringly about whether or not they were good.
That’s precisely what we do here, from Episode 59 where we hung out with Meredith Placko and Emma Fyffe and talked about the 2016 BBC specials.
So settle in, get your nog, and join us for some YuleTide Nitpicking, in the way only the Somethings could make charming…
Ok, here we Ho! Ho! Ho!
[Throwback] Saturday Morning Cartoons!
It’s December, which means the Somethings are taking the month to recharge, rebuild, and record. We’ll be back in 2021 with even more ‘Something!’
So this month, gather round and listen to the boys sound a lot younger talking about stuff from when they were even younger – a time before we even had a theme song!
It’s a Throwback to Episode 6 – Saturday Morning Cartoons…
Ok, here we go!
The End – Daredevil
And with the End of a Something Year almost upon us – we thought why not go look at what may have been one of the biggest losses to superheroic entertainment, that of a blind lawyer who fights street level crime, but in the most badass way possible… he’s the Avocado At Law – Daredevil.
Does the end of the series pay homage to what came before it? Does its grit and grime line up with its heroics and kick-butt nature?
Is there a hallway sequence?
Ok, here we go…
Where Are They Now? – The Malfoys
We told you that new things were coming, and new things are arriving. Two weeks ago, we gave you ‘What Would We Have Done’ and this week we are showing off another of our new features, ‘Where Are They Now’ where Rob and I discuss the fictional futures of characters you’ve come to know…
This month, we are taking on the Malfoy’s, that reviled family that sat on the wrong side of history in the battle of Hogwarts and beyond.
Where are they now? What happened to them? Well, settle in – you are about to find out in Where Are They Now? The Malfoys
Ok, here we go!
Note: Thank you all for letting us know there were some sound cue errors – they have been corrected.
Something In Review – Enola Holmes
Now that we are eke’ing our way beyond the Halloween Thunderdome and getting prepped for all the fixings of Thanksgiving with a jolly fatman on the horizon, it’s time for all the Netflix shows to start thundering through.
This one, in particular, seemed like it may be up the Somethings alley… we dig Sherlock, we think Millie Bobbie Brown does good work, and hey, the Witcher! So join us as we dive in to the new Netflix flick about the turn of the century Encyclopedia Brown – Enola Holmes, on In Review!
What We Would Have Done: Dexter
We’re trying something new! It’s kind of hard to explain, but here I go…
Some shows or movies or something er another end poorly. Some, in fact, ended years before their last episode… so we thought, what would WE have done?
Oh, it’s actually pretty easy to explain.. nevermind.
Anyway, we’re taking down the story of a man who murders and the people that love him. We’re taking him away from his lumberjacking ways and letting the world know – WHAT WE WOULD HAVE DONE…. with DEXTER!
Ok, here we go…
The End – Nightmare Cafe
It’s the end of October, which means it is time for The End, but… spookier.
What can we talk about that features one of the scariest men in horror cinema, produced by one of the trendsetters of the last 30 years of scares? Why, what about a show featuring a greasy spoon diner and a strange vaguely Twilight Zoney premise.
That’s right, it’s Nightmare Cafe, from the mind of Wes Craven.. or at least one of his relatives.. the story of two people trying to do good with a traincar diner in the middle of nowhere.
To put it simply… it’s… something. So let’s go with The End: Nightmare Cafe
Ok, here we go…
Mysteries of the Somethingverse: The Jersey Devil
If you weren’t aware – and I’m really shocked.. have you listened to the way we tawk… the Somethings live in the Garden State of New Jersey – which I assure you, does have gardens.
That said, it also has swamps and bogs and dark places where the bodies are literally buried. Amongst the pines is the legend of the Jersey Devil – our very own cryptid.
Arguably one of the most famous cryptids, taking the silver beneath Bigfoot, the Jersey Devil is a mystery that we’ve all heard about, but have you? What started it? Where does it live? Does it like Wawa or Quickchek?
Only one way to find out… on Mysteries of the Somethingverse!
Ok, here we go!
In Review: Sleepy Hollow (w/ Silver Screams!)
October Continues!
Themed around the scary and horror-tastic, we are here with this month’s Review, and since we’re talking scary – who better to get than the scare-tacular friends of the Somethings,Megan and Katie of the Silver Screams (@Silver_Screams)
Which brings us to what we are reviewing… and we decided to dive into a oft-overlooked and forgotten movie from the late 90s, arguably the ‘before & after’ moment for Tim Burton and Johnny Depp – Sleepy Hollow
So lets dive into a horror mystery and find out who is the Headless Horseman, and whether this movie has held the test of time.
Okay, here we boo!
