Episode 29 – Bad Movies
Perhaps you’ve noticed that the Somethings have a love of the finest of cheeses. Whether it be a delicious action movie that is slathered with green screen or a science fiction romp that you can just smell the paint peeling in your living room as you watch it. The Somethings are connoisseurs of this special brand of cheese…. the bad movie.
Now, we all have the movies we love that other people’s raise an eyebrow when you start quoting. The simple fact that you know more than a single quote from an eyefeast such as Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon let alone can recite most of it in interpretive dance is confusing to a high percentage of the world.
Not us.
Join the boys as the topic today is the movies that you can’t help just love to love, even when nobody else gets it…. it’s time for some fun bad cinema.
Episode 28 – Spin The Wheel: DragonLance!
Sometimes the Somethings aren’t the most prepared of all podcasts. I mean, there are some shows out there that do tons of research and preprep and all that.. well, it should be known by now that the boys sometimes are a little more ‘fly by the seat of their pants’ kinda guys.
So, this week we try something altogether new… the RANDOM WHEEL OF STUFF!
I know the title & picture kinda gives it away, but try and act surprised anyway, ok?
If there is something that brings us all together it’s our collective love of nerddom, and nothing speaks to the deep spine of that nerdyness then books about elves, warriors, barbarians, dwarves, mages, and kender going on a mission to save the world!
Two footnotes: Given its obscurity, you can find our end of show song by Pyramaze, right here.
And lastly, Hatton is trying to push a new project – a Choose your Own Adventure for adults. He’s crowdfunding it, so it won’t happen without your help! Give it a look at DecideYourFate.net
Okay, here we go!
Episode 27 – Console Games!
Our parents might have suggested that video games are a passing fad, but as most of us know, they have become the premier entertainment du jour for many, and the Somethings are no different. Over the years we have all collected unending amount of time wasting bleepblorp machines, so why not stroll down video gaming memory lane with the boys as they talk console games.
Now, you might remember we talked COIN-OPs.. and one day we’ll talk COMPUTER.. but this is all about 8 bit 16 bit 32 bit PUNCH! From NES to PS3, and everything in between.
Console Games coming atcha!
Episode 26 – Robin Williams
So Hatton & Rob were damned if they did and damned if they didn’t. With a show ready to be recorded this week, they saw the sad news of the passing of comedy legend Robin Williams. So what are two moderately amusing podcasters to do? Wait a few weeks to do their tribute show and reopen the wound or do the show and fearfully ponder if they’ll get hit with the curse of ‘Too Soon’?
So they took their brand new logo, and threw caution to the wind, talking about their five favorite Robin movies. They also spoke in the 3rd person for some reason.
Welcome to Year 2 of The SomethingSomethingCast.
Episode 25 – The Marvel Movieverse, Pt. 2 [Live!]
WHERE WE LAST LEFT THE SOMETHINGS – They were hanging out at WildPigComics with guests, Owner Chris Eberle, Manager & Webcomicker Bill Ellis, and Hatton’s wifey Madison talking about the Marvel Movieverse!
They discussed all the things that happened before. Phase 1. What we know. What we’ve seen. What has been etched into our collective reptillian nerd brain. But what of things to come? What of Phase 2 and the completely mythical and rumor-milled Phase 3!?
Join us once again for the second part of our 1 Year Anniversary Spectacular!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOMETHINGSOMETHINGCAST!
NOTE: As has been a theme of the first year of our show, technical difficulties always raise their pretty little heads, and there were times in the show where some microphones seemed to be at varying levels. I’ve done my best to even out the sound so everyone is audible, but that also has increased a certain amount of ambient noise. This will be fixed in future 1 year celebrations. – J
Episode 24 – The Marvel Movieverse, Pt. 1 [Live!]
A little over a year ago – James Hatton, creator of webcomics and hoster of thingies ran into a friend of his years of doing RennFests. They struck up conversations and Hatton remembered just how well they gelled and just how funny of a sumbich he was. He went and offered the chance of a lifetime to one Podcast Rob. A short time later, the SomethingSomethingCast was born.
Now where Hatton may have been the one that brought up the idea – since then, Rob has been a tour de force of making sure the show happens regularly, that creative ideas are always flowing – so Hatton may have started it up, but Rob has become the heart of it.
To celebrate this first year – the boys have gone to WildPigComics with an audience and a panel to discuss the Marvel Movie Universe! The Past, Present & Future
Thank you all for listening – and we look forward to another year of.. uhm.. something.. err.. something..

Episode 23 – Comic Characters
What do almost all comics have in common? Art? Sure. Words? I guess. A mixed media artform? YES, FINE, THEY ALL HAVE LOTS IN COMMON.
The answer we were ACTUALLY going for, was characters! Through the history of the form, there have been some memorable, and many less memorable ones – but on this episode of the SomethingCast, the boys are going to tell you their favorite characters of allllll tiiiiime. From Speedball to Crazy Quilt… ok, fine, maybe characters a little more famous than that.
Also – make sure to listen as we reveal some of the details of our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
Ok here we go…
PS – I want to give a shoutout to H2Awesome for providing us with our end theme today! Check them out here!
Episode 22 – The Movie Quiz Show
So you’ve listened to the cast… you’ve heard Podcast Rob and James talk about the movies they know and love… but how well do they know them.
These two unendingly quoting buffoons have decided to put themselves to the test in a show where they list off some of their favorite quotes from film and see if the other can name the movie it came from. Play along at home and see how many you get! Also make sure to listen close as we’re running a little contest this show that might score you some of the first SomethingCast swag!
Episode 21 – Stand-up Comedy
Take my podcast… PLEASE!
The Somethings are coming to you straight from the borscht-belt with a selection of other people’s fine entertainment. You see, you don’t just become as funny as the Somethings are by not examining the craft of comedy. To be the geniuses that they know themselves to be (and then implicate you in the knowing since you keep listening) you have to know who is damn funny… so basically two jackasses with microphones are going to tell you who is better to listen to than they are. Aren’t they swell?
Ok, here we go!
Episode 20 – Show Endings
All good things must come to an end…
Not us, dummy! Television shows! The Somethings look back on some of the greatest and worst shows that were ever given endings. I mean, we’re not talking about shows that all of a sudden they stop abruptly and get no further seasons.. well I guess we kind of are, but at least these guys had the forethought to come up with an ending.
I mean what kind of dick would just end a show without fini
