Something In Review #1 – The Last Jedi

Tagged , , , ,

Here we are with another brand spank’n new Episode One. …for Episode 7… which is sort of Episode 2 of Trilogy 3… it gets confusing.

Anyway, it’s time for Something In Review, another new feature where we review something we haven’t before, maybe a little older, maybe a little newer. The fact is that it’s something that we’ve both seen and want to talk about. Please check out our Twitter for polls about what’s coming next!

This month, it’s the most divisive episode of Star Wars yet: The Last Jedi. We know you have an opinion on it, and so do we.  So settle in and let’s get forced…..  that’s a horrible tagline.

Happy Podcast Day! (That’s not a holiday.. it’s just a day where you get the podcast. There will be cake, though)

Hatton is here again with another journey into a new piece of fiction and a review of Westworld Season 2

If you haven’t jumped into the wild westy world, stick around to hear a fairy tale. He reads that first.  Then hang out as we discuss all the twists, the turns, the timelines, with Hatton as host! (That has two meanings here.)

Rob and I have started PILOT SEASON over at the SomethingCast Patreon. And you can help out Rob at his GoFundMe.

Also, this episode is being SIMULPOSTED at HattonStuff.com!

Ok, here we go!

Episode 113 – The Cloverfield Paradox

Tagged , , , , ,

It was the night of the biggest sports game in the country. Millions upon millions watched the one team go and defeat the other one. There was a bird one and a soldier one or something like that. Anyway, a commercial popped up informing everyone that right after the ball was done being foot’d, Netflix was going to take over millions of living rooms with the third in the Cloverfield Series.

So with social media abuzz over it, of course the Somethings watched it and have opinions!

So how was it? What was it? How does it relate? Did JJ Abrams give us another Super 8, or another Lost?

Joining us this week to talk all things Clover are old Something Friends, Katie Cullen (@kiaxet) & Megan Salinas (@themenguin) from both AfterBuzz TV and their horror podcast, Silver Screams (@silver_screams) which you can find on Youtube!

So strap in to the first big viral sensation of the year and see how it ranks.

Also – don’t forget about our new sponsor: Quixotic Games and their new game Dungeon Alliance, available for order at your local gaming spot.

Ok here we go!

102 – Starchaser: The Legend of Orin

Tagged , , , , ,

After 3 big episodes in a row, the boys are hanging back for a little and catching their breath.

What that means is you get to dive into one from the secret archives of the Somethings, where you get all new material, we did the same amount of work, but we did it before now! It’s amazing. It’s like magic.

I’ll tell you that the above sentence has more magic in it than this movie.

There are a lot of classic Star Wars rips, but Starchaser might be the most forgotten.. not because it is obscure or bad or an obvious cash-in… it’s because it is all three.

We promise, you don’t need to see the movie to enjoy this episode. Hell, you’ll likely enjoy the movie more if you don’t watch it.

Ready?

Ok, here we go!

Episode 92 – The Last Jedi Trailer

Tagged , , ,

A long time ago… but lesser long ago than it was before, but more recent than it was when it started.. or…

Look, there’s a new Star Wars thing and we talk about it!

Breaking from our usual ‘movie’ tradition – we’re going the super internet geek route and taking a trailer down. What’s to come? What does it reveal? What DOESN’T reveal, and what do we see as the future of the franchise.

That’s all coming up on this week’s SomethingSomethingcast…

Note – This week’s closing song is: Pannonia Allstars Ska Orchestra – Star Wars – Imperial Reggae

Ok, here we go!

Episode 91 – MST3k

♫ In the not too distant future…
On Thursday on Netflix…

The Mads are at it again! This time, they’ve taken the Somethings hostage and before they can be set free they have to review their favorite episodes of the B-Movie-Riffathon of MST3k!

Ok, so there are no Mad Scientists. There’s no SOL. There’s simply an episode of your favorite podcast. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a topic after their own heart, and with the new season coming out Thursday on Netflix, no better time to talk about it!

So repeat to yourself it’s just a show, and you should really just relax… unless you listen to us in your car. Then don’t relax, that would be horrible.

Episode 84 – Rogue One Review

Tagged , , , ,

A long time ago.. on a podcast somewhere in New Jersey…

It’s 2017 – and we are back with our first episode of the year. Working completely against type, we’re talking about a little-known indie film about of young upstart kids making their way in a world where the adults seem out to get them.

That’s right – Star Wars own Rogue One!

If you haven’t seen the movie, you are warned – there is absolutely no part of this episode that isn’t a spoiler.

Welcome to a new year of the Somethings! Ok, here we go!

So – maybe you didn’t know (you probably do) that we have a Patreon!

And on that Patreon, on the weeks you don’t get a full episode of the SomethingCast, you get OTHER stuff over there.  Every week we’re in your head.

One of those things that we gave you a taste of a couple months ago was our Space Opera – the first installment of Stories To Amaze.

Well as we are now near ending that first story and are in the process of recording and editing the second story.. we figured we should give you a taste.

So here it is for your approval.  Hope you enjoy.
